    What happened to this forum?

    I'm not saying less experienced people shouldn't share their opinion, ask questions etc.. The kind of people whom I was targeting with my message are the ones that have almost no experience, come up with flawed tutorials/techniques and then preach those things like they are the holy grail. A...

    What happened to this forum?

    Indeed, it's disheartening to see that this place has been abandoned. I too, learned invaluable info from this forum. Got here in 2011 (seems like yesterday) and at that time, I had difficulty keeping up with every new thread. Now it's almost surprising if there's a new one in a month! Like...

    That "Clayman" sound....

    That's an awesome idea. Never got to mess with fredman, but I absolutely have to give it a shot one day.

    Iso-Cab versus Good recording room?

    I wouldn't bother getting an iso cab. What I heard from them sounded muddy in the mid range, like J.L. said. I think if you put a bit of absorption (nothing too fancy) on the walls nearest to the cab and stick the mic very close to the grill you should be fine. I'm working out of a tiny-ass...

    Profire 2626 playback interruptions?

    Yeah I thought for a while that it was a great interface. Been using it 5 years + with my old setup and it never gave me any trouble before. Couldn't understand the bad reviews. Now I see though... I can't believe that this device just won't be compatible with this comp and that I have to switch...

    Profire 2626 playback interruptions?

    Update : installed the legacy 1394 driver and re-installed m-audio drivers. Sound works now but I'm still plagued with the same problems. Also tried an other cable to no avail. Damn, this is tiring.

    Profire 2626 playback interruptions?

    Ahhh!! I didn't do that. I'll definitely give it a try. The cable should be fine, it's the same one I was using with my other PC and it worked well before. I could have damaged it in transport or something, but that would be very surprising. Maybe the FW port on my laptop is faulty.. now that...

    Profire 2626 playback interruptions?

    I tried the legacy drivers, seemed like the PF didn't work at all with them so I reverted to the original ones. Playing with the buffer settings also didn't seem to help. More ideas would be welcome ;P

    Profire 2626 playback interruptions?

    No, it has an intel chip. Before this new setup, I used the PF with an other PC that had a TI chip and I never had issues. It was on WinXP though. Gonna try the legacy drivers and I'll report. Thanks all! Hope I can get this fixed. It's such a pain in the ass right now.

    Profire 2626 playback interruptions?

    Hi. I just changed my setup a bit for this new room and I installed my old profire 2626 on this win 7 laptop with Reaper. I installed the latest drivers and the PF seems to be detected fine on the PC. It seems to record without problems too. Sometimes though, the monitoring ceases instantly...

    Worst Guitar Tones in a Professional Recording.

    Oops.. I just looked it up on the burzum site and it seems like you're right. I stand corrected :grin:

    Worst Guitar Tones in a Professional Recording.

    If I remember correctly it was mic'ed up with a headset mic :lol: (with the intention of having the worst possible tone)

    Worst Guitar Tones in a Professional Recording.

    Last bunch of slayer albums, undergained and weak. The new one looks like its going to have a better tone though. Too bad the music is still bad.
