If the wiring to the boxes has a metal jacket that is connected to the box you might be able to use it as a ground. If the jacket is connected to the panel box and the panel is grounded then you can connect the ground for the plug with a pigtail to the outlet box.

http://www.classic-audio.com/pioneer/pics/pl300.jpg You have to picture an old Pioneer PL300 with two garden hose sections to the mains plug. Try this device and this useful device which are both found here along with other things that have changed my ears forever. I'm sure eephour will find his st...

you can get a firewire card for a desktop for like $10.00 so I would do that. A laptop would need a PCMCIA card or a PCMCIA Express card which is more. I hate audacity for mixing because you can drop plug ins on the track but you cant hear them until you render the track. Cubase LE comes with almost...

I would second the Alesis Multimix Firewire. I bought a Multimix 16 for recording live in small clubs and it's sound is much better than I expected. It only has 8 mic inputs but I have used the stereo line level inputs by using another micpre in order to get more. It comes with Cubase LE which works...

The overall strategy at presonus is to create new exciting products as quickly and cheaply as possible. This strategy allows them to keep up with the demands of the 'pro' market by keeping with the latest trends in low end, low quality equipment. I got no respect for those fuckers. Terrible company...

I hope thats true for recording. Up until late las...

Big John types faster than me!!

People still use ADAT hardware recorders for recording but it's not as popular as it was. ADAT is a digital language and in my case I would use another firestudio or other brand preamp with ADAT outs to connect to my firestudio. Then record on a laptop using firewire. How many inputs do you need? Si...

The firestudio project is not as expandable as the regular firestudio. I just bought a Firestudio 26IO so I can just add more Micpre inputs later via ADAT.
That Studio Live thing really had me interested until I found out you have to use their recording software. Screw that!
