description: t. NeilLamont, those DiMakina tunes you heard recently (and you said you liked - thank you again, BTW) were all in the low-20's to low 30's in track count. No weirdness there. It's all about gain staging, dEwD - like I said, you wouldn't run an analog console with every channel at +15 & the master there as well, so why would you run a digital "virtual" console at "0", giving yourself no headroom?

Yeah, I've played around with most of the settings (since v8). I'll give it some more playing around time. I use parallel compression (via auxes) quite a bit with the UAD compressors.

I think they're still one of the best dev teams, but they could always be better. Let us know what you switch to when you do. GrahamAnyone ever hear these? I've heard the smaller B&W's (DM- series, I think), and the really f*king super high-end ones that look like R2D2 with a tweeter on it's head, but not this series... anyone ever use them? I ask because I was out running errands today & noticed that a local hi-fi place has 701's (not hooked up, though) and the price seemed reasonable - $799 each. (well, reasonable for that level of quality, from what I've heard of their other stuff). Anyone? BTW, Deej - when I was out & about, I was able to find exactly ONE half-rack-height spacer... no vents, jsut a solid spacer.

description: with analog I/O on them it is not correct to compare them the Multiface/Fireface I/O. Mytek makes dedicated AD and DA converters only so the only comparison would be the ADI-8 DS, ADI-2 or ADI8-QS models. The RME converters used on the used on the Fireface, Multiface and HDSP9632 are some of the best you will get integrated onto a sound card. The Myteks should logically sound better than the Multiface and Fireface. If they didn't I don't think Mytek would be in business..:) > Not that I'm doubting your word, I'm just > wondering if the fact that you're using a Fireface (Firewire > buss) vs. a Multiface (PCI buss) makes a differece? > The Fireface 800 has slightly better converters than the Multiface. The Multiface has the same converters as the Fireface 400.

Mytek makes nothing that is the same price wise and functionality wish that comes close the value of these RME converters. It wouldn't be fair to be comparing the price of a used or discontinued piece of Mytek gear. The closest product they make that can honestly be compared is the 8x192 with the fire wire option card but that sell for $3900. > Talk to us, Dimi.

I had forgotten how much I like this preamp. It's not the most expensive pre out there by any stretch but so what???......it's a killer box and though it's described as a "straight wire with gain" kinda' circuit, there is something sweet to it. It's just got something going on with it that makes me smile. Sounds good on just about any source...even U87's. I find that I don't much like U87's with solid state preamps, but it works with the Sytek. DeejWho's Brett Michaels?

My understanding is that even though the Paris MEC light shows 48K as a sample rate with an external clock, it is really still just 44.1K.
