In the meantime, I'd like to get more familiar with SX (or something else), have the option of running more than 4 inserts in Paris (I don't know anything about plug-in wrappers I'm afraid), be able to run external plug in effects on the Paris inserts (e.g. processing as external insert via ADAT another PC), use midi, etc. I've got my main Paris PC. 2 EDS, MEC with Adat and + 8 i/o and a 442. I've got a second PC that could run Cubase SX with an (v1) Event Gina PCI soundcard, which features Adat I/O (together with 2 in / 8 out + SPDIF). Just to confuse things, I have a Korg Oasys PCI card which only runs under w98/me, so that goes in a third PC (this has Adat I/O and analogue A/O + SPDIF). I've also got a Midiman USB 2x2 midi interface - though I'm guessing I may need a few more of these to link everything together. I'm not quite sure how all this should be best integrated into one system, particularly in terms of syncing / world clock / MIDI. It seems to me that the Paris PC would be for audio, linked by adat …

It seems the problem is resolved. I realized that I didn't have the entire system grounded to one point. Once I fixed this all the hum problems disappeared. Now back to music. MR "Mike R." <emarenot@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:45cf5006$1@linux... Very strange, my MEC seems to be generating some hum, like 60hz ground-problems stuff. Even when the thing is unplugged, I still get the hum. The only time it goes away is when I unplug the audio cables running from the monitor outs to the mix board. I hate to say it, but the cables are unbalanced instrument cables. Unplugged from the MEC, but still hooked into the board there is no hum, plugged back into the MEC -hum. Does this make sense -even when the power cord from the MEC is unplugged? The only thing I can think is to get some balanced cables, but if the cables (unplugged from the MEC) create no hum, will balanced cables solve the problem? I'm stumped --unless its some energy from the galactic core, washing over my home town and somehow tuned to the frequency of the MEC -now that would make at least SOME sense :-) Thanks for any feedback, MR ------=_NextPart_000_000A_01C74F8A.F70C2D40 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> Just wanted to thank Mike and Gene for = their=20 assistance.&nbsp; It seems the problem is resolved.&nbsp; = I realized=20 that I didn't have the entire system grounded to one point.&nbsp; Once I = fixed=20 this all the hum problems disappeared.&nbsp; Now back to = music.

We get to spend someone else's money for them! lol OK, at first glance, you need more mics. Actually it really depends on what you want to do or are trying to accomplish that should determine what you buy next that might get you closer to that end, but I'm going on the fact that awhile ago you said you wanted to start bringing outside work into your place; and if that's still the case, you definitely need more mics if you're going to try & record a full group of any kind in any genre. I think the 3-or-4-mic drumkit thang is not practical in every application, so bearing that in mind, if I were you (and I'm not, but if I was) I would think about something along the lines of the following setup: Kick = Beta 52 (which you currently own) Snare = SM57 (which you currently own) Hat = (I suppose you could use that Behr Omni) Tom1 = Need something for at least 3 Toms Tom2 = See above Tom3 = See above OH's = Your two 414's or the NT5's (you already have) Room = NT5's or the 414's (you already have) Those Behr Omni's are crap, frankly - I had a pair for awhile & shitcanned 'em... very noisy, but you may as well use it on hat, as I can't imagine anything else they'd be good for, and hey for $49 it's not like you've invested a lot in it.
