Same 'phones as I've got. I've been pretty pleased with mine. To round out my input on this thread... even though I haven't been doing much recording lately (I keep chastising myself, must start writing again SOON!) my gear generally consists of: - MOTU 828mkII for input (firewire with two mic preamps plus piles of analog I/O channels) - an Alcivar-brand electric guitar I bought used several years ago which feels great and sounds pretty good - Simon&Patrick acoustic I bought new just over a year ago, sounds and feels great - generic SM58-type microphones which I use for all purposes; I could probably stand to get some "real" mics sometime - the pedals I mentioned previously - uh... Doggiebox :) And I've actually just acquired a set of Apex- brand drum mics (clip-ons for the toms and snare, plus a kick mic) which I've not played with much yet but want to do some drums record shortly too.
* _Doggiebox is my drummer!_ That should be a T-Shirt or something, no? :) He runs on a relatively new G4 iBook, using mostly ns_kit samples (because I like playing with velocity changes :) I run a little cable from the headphone jack on the iBook to a stereo splitter, and then into 2 seperate track inputs on the VS-1680. Sounds top-notch :)
Nice. :) That's a good slogan... I'm looking at various promotional avenues now too... cool.
(I'll still need to track down more samples to build "ethnic/world" kits, but that's do-able.)
If and when you do, please share!! :) -b -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
