No other SDII extension far as I know. Even if their is I would expect it to work on either. Obviously you don't have a mac handy to try them on. I assume they do have a proper size to them that sounds reasonable? Are they a size matched stereo pair? They're not stuffit compressed or something are they? That's always possible????....

All this talk of the Rane PI14 reminded me of an April fool's joke review that I actually fell for in the early 80's. (hell... I was young, and this was around the time when the development of digital sampling, and synths in general, was progressing in leaps and bounds). I think it was "Electronic Musician", that reviewed the cumbersome looking machine, which could tap into your brain, (via electrodes, I think,) and could produce an approximation of any sound you could be imagining at the time. Alas, I loaned my copy of the mag to someone, and never saw it again. Regards, KimJohn <no@no.com> wrote: >so basically you guys are saying EDS effects are craptastic?

I am amazed at the crap that never should have seen the light of day that gets released simply because there isn't anything better. Some of us concentrate on instrumental chops, others on using interesting sounds in clever ways, others on getting things perfect, others on what's hip and where the scene is headed, and it's all bollocks. It's about the song, and there is no substitute. For every 10, 000 hot players and hip producers there is one great songwriter. We rarely see artists today who can put out a whole disc of great writing, but a killer song does come around now and then. Check this out: http://www.mutemath.com/epsite/ Play with the buttons on the lower right until the song "Control" comes up. Man, I wish I had written that one. Cobain was a great songwriter BTW. No one who followed him was. Too bad. The Beatles generated dozens of bands with great writers in them. This doesn't happen much any more. I think it's because people do not want to learn the music theory involved and wrestle with writing great melodies and lyrics. It's too much work. best, DCI find that toggling the stereo/mono switch in the return section, centres the effect. Whenever I recall a saved mix, first thing I do is to toggle EVERY effects return in all submixes. This is a bug, but workable once you are aware of it. I thought more people new about this "feature". Kim John <no@no.com> wrote: >so basically you guys are saying EDS effects are craptastic?

This happened here in Boston last night http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/12/14/boston.shooting.reut/index. htmlSure did, it fixed it. Not saying that it will work for you, but worth a shot IMO. You could also use the opportunity to experiment with different valves for different sounds (brighter/darker). I wouldn't go as far as spending a mint on NOS Telefunkens, though, I have read that even those were subject to quality variation, and thus are just as prone to sounding like poop as any other manufacturer. I bought a few Mullards from Britain (a couple of spares), and the one I used didn't change the character appreciably, so the two mics still sound VERY similar) What mic are you having problems with?
