>That's what I'm referring to when I describe my Multiface. It is a Nuendo
branded Multiface called the Multiset. Same thing as the original Multiface.
My ADI8-DS units are also Nuendo branded as well. You can often find these
on an EBay search using Nuendo as the keyword. Sometimes the owners don't
know to list these under an RME keyword as well and there are fewer folks
watching them/less bidding competition. I picked up one of my Nuendo branded
ADI8-DS units for $550.00 last week. The RME branded (same) units are going
for quite a bit more on EBay and, to my knowledge, there is no difference
other than the badging. In any event, they sound great.

>> Ellicott City, MarylandWell, that was a subject of another long sad post of mine. Basically the
room stinks, low cielings, small, rectangular. Can't really be treated because
it's the family rec room.
The instrument I like alot, but it's a small yamaha student upright. It
doesn't mic well, based on surroundings mostly, probably limitations of the
technician, lord knows I tried for months to get a decent sound on tape.
That's when I got the brilliant idea to go with giga for pianos, and man
the sound was great but that lead to needing an 88 key weighted controller,
a search that took forever. Then giga worked but it wasn't integrated with
cubase and I couldn't stand that because it just got to complicated when
all I wanted to do was take ten minutes and record a song real quick. Then
I got the brilliant idea to try halion, and import my gigas, which worked
ok, but in the end I could never get acceptable, playable latencies in that
environment using the presonus.
In the end it's all so stupid and ridiculous that I gave up, which bums me
out, because I think I am approaching writing some decent songs.
