Aye, those Heil's sure do look like nice Mic's. You say you replaced your old 57's with these last year. So... in your opinion are these going to be the new standard or is it just horses for courses?
The PR40 does look more like the kind of mic I thought I would be needing. I think the artist will ...

Thanks for all of the replies guys. I think I'm going to take a mixture of various Mics and see how things sound after a few takes. A mate is giving me an SM58 for free so that's a start...
I'll buy an SM57 cos they are virtually free and if they are that good and everyone should have one then I ...

Aye, the Line6 has Phantom Power.
I'm needing a portable pre-amp anyway so I'll buy one. Any suggestions?

He's got the Keyboard version of this rigged upto his PC

That's surely a good enough interface for a shed in the Jungle?
God know's where he gets his power from. Probably got some monkeys outside working a water wheel. Looking forward to the trip immensly.

Thanks Mr Arkadian. I'll research and spend good money on one decent Mic. I want this session to work. You don' t fly 5000 miles without putting some thought into what you are going to do when you get their :)
The SM58 and SM57 Options sound viable, but If a decent capacitor mic is really going to ...

We'll have a PC, a Line6 TonePort, some reasonable monitor speakers (I hope) and an amp (again... the quality of which might not be top class)
That's the tackle I'll have so I'll have to make the most of it.
I can work Cubase no problem, although now I'm hearing off people that Ableton is better ...

Hi there,
I'm going to Costa Rica in a couple of months to help a mate record a demo.
He's a real groovy cat with some very catchy tunes and a good vocal range. He accompany's with his Acoustic Guitar.
I want to do the best job I can in recording his music for him; especially his vocal talents.
I ...

I've got to agree with ken mate, there's just the odd note every now and then that just isn't quite right. The production is excellent and sounds sweet on my headphones. Good clarity all round. These things are always 'work in progress' so I'm sure you'll go back to the mix and remove those slight ...

A wonderful example of talent there mate. Of course, it wasn't Scope cards alone that created such splendour. I'd be interested in knowing what Mastering techniques you follow... or is that a Taboo question?
Don't mean to be nosey... I'd sleep soundly at night if I could knock out some beats as ...

Ahhh.... the penny has final dropped
I was thrown off scent by the dual input. Don't ask me why. Must have been the Harvest Moon clouding my judgement.
I'll give it a shot. I'm sure I can pick one of those up from a local town.
Thanks for spelling it out for me

My apologies for not being entirely PC...

.RCY file - (created using Recycle V1.x)

.RX2 file - (created using Recycle V2)

It is a bad habit of mine to call them dot rex

I agree entirely. I REX up anything and everything if I can be arsed. Why? Because they weigh nothing (compare REX weight to WAV weight) they are flexible as hell, I can audition them faster than You could even press ' go' on a sampler, and to be fair, they are bloody useful for inspiration.
Maybe ...

Aye... thats the plan. Ditch Reason and Rewire for now... Leaving me with Scope, Cubase, and the rex files
I like it that you can rack them high and keep em rolling... A nice little application that mate. Nice choice

Marvellous.... AMG One/Solo just what I was after!
Cheers Mr A

Over the years I have gathered and produced thousands of .rex files that I use in Reason.
Now that I am on the Scope platform, is there anyway I can get the little buggers into Creamware, or am I still tied to the DrRex module in Reason?

I hear what you are saying guys.
This morning, I was even condsidering putting the Audiophile back in and using it purely for any SPDIF work I would do in 'the base'
However, in light of the last couple of replies I've received, I wont do that.
Guitar is a desirable but not 'show stopping' item ...

I'm having really difficulty in finding a suitable cable for this SPDIF problem of mine. I've found this cheap cable on amazon:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/LINDY-Adapter-Cable-Stereo-Composite/dp/B00062UE3K/sr=8-24/qid=1163941884/ref=sr_1_24/203-1958373-6724727?ie=UTF8&s=electronics

I'm disappointed ...

Not tried the SPDIF route yet. I went to get a cable but as you will be aware, all that is for sale in Yorkshire are agricultural products and charity shops and neither had SPDIF cables for sale :)

I'll stick with the current solution for now. I'm just happy to have all my tools laid out and ...

Thanks for all the replies guys. Astroman, I took your lead and focussed on using the analogue outs from the Line6 Toneport into the Analogue in on the Home card.
I opened the EZ recording .pro and hey presto, my routing is cured and my desired feature is working in Cubase.
Thanks for the push in ...

I have just discovered the strangeness of the SPDIF port on my newly aquired Home card
I've read the manual, and some of the posts here referrring to this SPDIF (and why creamware installed it to save space... is that true? looks like they could have squeezed a real one on if they had tried ...
