I saw an article in Mix magazine that only mentioned it. There should be some reviews coming out soon. If they do, I'll pass on the information.

Hello everyone -- I've been looking around and haven't seen any real reviews on the TLM102. Anyone have any info/ an opinion? Thanks!

Hey all-- I am building a new studio (got alot of work ahead!) and I got all my soundproofing supplies from http://www.soundaway.com ...owner Skip has been a dream and a wealth of information. If anyone ever needs any soundproofing supplies, these guys are AMAZING.I did alot of shopping around and research and I have been amazed at how much solid advice they gave me well before I made moves to buy anything.

Hi everyone - great to be part of the group!
I have just moved here from Australia, where I have been working for the last 10 years.
VERY different scenario there - I get ALL of my work through my agent and go into the studios.
I am not good with technology and have not had to record at home - this is all very new.
I am currently in the process of setting up my first basic home studio with the view to upgrade in the future.
Goals: I travel a lot for work, so the studio needs to be somewhat portable.
So - I have a MAC and an MBOX 2.
I was told that the Apogee Mini-Me would be a great pre-amp for my basic set-up whilst satisfying the portability requirements.
Problem....they seem to be hard to find these days....and I don't want to purchase off eBay.
Can anyone suggest a good vintage audio dealer where I might be able to pick up a well serviced used unit? Or other suggestions for how to pick one up?
Or suggest a good alternative with digital output, Phantom Power and XLR connectors.
The Focusrite ISA ONE was suggested to me - thoughts? A little too big...
Any advice that would bring me out of the dark would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

John Weeks,
You are the Man! I am actually sounding pretty darn good! Thanks a lot. I guess the key is to keep things simple. I can move on to finishing my new demo now. Take care.

Thanks John,
I'm on it! I'll let you know how it goes.

Hi Shirazi,
I would start with getting your levels going into and out of the 528E correct first. Then everything else set flat. Set the compressor at a 2 to 1 ratio with 2 or 3 dB of compression. Then adjust your eq midly to your tastes. You need to make sure your monitoring system is flat (so you're hearing what actually is there). If you need more help, feel free to contact me via private message and I'll be glad to help you with it.
Good luck,
John

HELP!!! I've just purchased the Shure KSM32 Microphone. I've paired it with the Symetrix 528E voice processor, and I'm running it through my Digital audio Labs DAL CDX-01 sound card interface. I have a very resonant voice. I need any and all suggestions concerning SETTINGS ON MY 528E!
