If you can pass me a recording that knocks me on my ass and you used a Wollensak and two crystal mics and a reel of Radio Shack rebaked 1/4" I wouldn't think you were a loser. Shit, my dentist couldn't make a decent record if you gave him the keys to Oceanway, and I don't think he's a loser. I don't think that being a loser is an occupational or consumer goods quality issue, if you look at it.

I still have my vtb-1, I like it! As long as your 2496 has a low noise floor, you can make some good tracks. Remember, Its in the ear, not the gear..... oh yeah, and the brain too.  e

 Btw - I love my vtb-1! But I don´t love my 2496 supermuch. I want to step up soundwise, but the 2496 is stable as hell - and I don´t want to go down the fw route. How´s the audiophile 192 compared to 2496, anyone??? | |

lastnight my girlfriend got mad at me, because i was watching a pro tools video and applying some things i learned in pro tools...she called me a geek.. i opened up a beer and felt better about myself.. she got so mad that she didnt even kiss me goodbye today when she left for work! haha i'm a happy loser. your DAW doesn't yell at you and make messes..it just listens to what you do...we should appriciate them. |

there's two things that I can find that don't suck... BCF2000 (it's not actually affecting the sound) ADA8000 (I understand it to be an Alesis A/D internally...) People talk about the headphone amp because it's just a headphone amp...who cares?
