The Roland GR-20 used to be one of the top line guitar synth units from Roland. It can be found now on the used market for a song, and provides an excellent variety of quality tones. The organ, synth lead, and pad sounds were the most inspiring to me. The piano sounded a bit tinny, and the brass sounded a bit "80s cheeseball", but the organ, pad...
Overall, the Sonuus G2M is an awesome little device for an even better price. At just $100 US, it's worth it for any guitarist to have around for use. It really opens up a lot of doors when it comes to getting cool and interesting sounds with your guitar, not to mention you can record MIDI with your guitar to change sounds later or to turn it ...
The Blue Icicle is THE fantastically economical entry into home recording. It does look a little hokey if you're pairing it with any non-Blue microphone, but hey, you work in SOUND. I enjoyed using it, although I settled on spending $50 more on a Shure X2U. The headphone monitoring was too important to me, and the X2U also perform...
The Apogee Electronics AD-8000 is one of the earliest analog to digital converters that I've used, and while it's not ideal for modern digital audio recording, it can still be useful when used in the right settings. The main downfall with the AD-8000 is that it only supports up to a 48 kHz sampling rate, so if you're going to want to record at ...
Having the Brainstorm DCD-8 in your audio recording rig definitely makes for having everything in order when it comes to all of your gear being on the same page. We have it at the studio in one of our main rooms, using it with all sorts of different converters and a variety of other gear. I didn’t set this up at all in the studio, so I don’t h...
Judging from the way the Lavry Engineering Blue converter system sounds as a converter and based on it's versatility, I have to say that I'm a big fan of this conversion system. It's definitely something that you'll see in professional studios rather than in home studios since it is a high quality converter and isn't too cheap. It's definitely...
While in general my favorite studio converters still remain those made by Apogee, the Lynx Studio Technology Aurora 16 is just as good as any of them that I've used. It's the perfect centerpiece for your studio and ensures that you'll be getting the highest quality conversion possible. For those who are new converters, I can't stress enough th...
I bought this product to see if it was easier and less of a hassle to set up, use, and maintain than an interface. I had owned two interfaces and a mixer previously, and it wasn't easy to maintain them, as I had to install and reinstall drivers, they kept coming loose, lights kept burning out, and the like. I decided to look for a small product,...
For what we use it for, the Mytek 8 X 192 AD/DA is a great converter. While it isn't of the same quality of an Apogee, not too many converters are. There is a good amount of flexibility here in terms of what you can use it with and for, but we keep in stationary in one studio for mixing and overdubbing. I never have to mess around with it too...
I've been using the Apogee Electronics Rosetta 800 192K for about a year and half and I really love the clean signal that this produces. It is the perfect analog to digital converter in my opinion as it has all of the bells and whistles and still does a great job of converting the signal. It always comes out super clean and I can never tell th...
