I am interested in any opinions on the following 2 items I am considering for my studio- the 1604 VLZ Pro and the Mackie monitors- I forget the name- How good are the pre amps in the VLZ Pro? I hear they are nice- but quiet? Nice enough for recording? How quiet is this board? Any points of pleasing or irritating interest? Any OTHER boards come to mind? I know Behringer has decent boards as well as new pre amps- I want to stay in the $1000 range- As for the monitors- they are apparently some of the flattest in the biz- is their bass reponse weak? 8" cones I assume bass is ample- I like the Tannoy actives too- Cheers yall, Cliff ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Trenkel" <improv@peak.org> To: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> Cc: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2001 2:06 PM Subject: RE: How to place Looper in audio path? > At 3:32 PM 1/30/01, M.
