Does the middle east count as asia?

firewire, without question. it's not even close.

you could open the refill using the refill unpacker. if you're already sharing refills, you don't seem to have a huge problem with breaking "the man's" rules. it's all over bit torrent (never used it myself, though).

you guys rock -- thanks again!

I use an AudioFire 12, and I can tell you that the converters on the line are top notch. I did a shootout between the audiofire 12 and an rme fireface 800 and the audiofire 12 came out equal or better in terms of conversion. Echo's failures are all in marketing -- their products are amazing, though.

i have one that i use out and about -- use whatever setting you want. depends on the quality and latceny you are after. live and the firebox have to be set to the same stuff regardless, so just read the manual to both and you'll be fine. there are no "best settings."

avoid USB like the plague. seriously. stick to firewire.

no question: gefell UMT70s.

Hi -- I'm newish, to Reason. I am wanting to rewire the combi reason drum kits patches into live, but I want each "mic" to have its own channel in Live so I can mix it with the rest of the music as if the kits were recorded (eq, verb, etc). I want to retain as much control of the sound com...

I actually prefer the Tascam VL-X5 for the price. They pretty much "it" in the sub-$500 world, and even blow away most sub-$700 speakers. For the price, they are the best deal I've ever seen, by far. Too bad most other things from Tascam are nowhere near this level.

thanks, dude.

it's like punching someone in the dark -- a victimless crime.
