[14:44] <crysaz> hi
[14:44] <crysaz> any comments on m-audio pre-amps?
[14:44] <holstein> morning :)
[14:45] <holstein> crysaz: i have one gernal observation
[14:45] <holstein> when your in the studio
[14:45] <holstein> paying $100+/per hour
[14:45] <holstein> they are *not* using m-audio preamps
[14:45] <crysaz> wonder why :)
[14:45] <holstein> does that mean those preamps arent worth what you pay?
[14:46] <crysaz> i'm going to record live gigs, so i'm not going to be in studio
[14:46] <holstein> crysaz: doesnt matter if your on the surface of the moon
[14:46] <holstein> IF you hire a guy
[14:46] <holstein> from a studio
[14:46] <holstein> to come a record a gig
[14:46] <holstein> and your paying him $100+/per hour
[14:47] <holstein> he wont have anything maudio n the rack ;)
[14:47] <crysaz> hmmm.
[14:47] <crysaz> so do you have suggestions for a usb interface?
[14:47] <holstein> maybe the zoom H4
[14:48] <holstein> because the pres are nice
[14:48] <crysaz> i'm going to be the guy doing stuff for free for local bands, so highest quality isn't required
[14:48] <holstein> built in mics are OK
[14:48] <holstein> stand alone recording mode
[14:48] <crysaz> that's on option, but there is no output options
[14:48] <holstein> you can use it as an interface
[14:49] <holstein> try over in #opensourcemusicians as well
[14:49] <holstein> personally
[14:49] <holstein> i think if your just going to buy some cheap USB thing
[14:49] <holstein> just use the internal card
[14:49] <holstein> with some stereo mic
[14:55] <crysaz> maybe you are right. i should try internal card first
