You've studied hard. You've paid your dues (or so you think). You've twiddled the knobs on an SSL 9000, used Pro Tools to slap together some fake radio spots, and actually participated in the quaint ritual of editing ¼' tape with a razor blade.

It's hard to believe that nearly 2 years have passed since I wrote the original "Roll Your Own" Article!
I have heard from hundreds of you who built the original machines, and I want to take this opportunity to thank every one of you for all of the kind words and input.

| The Case
Let's begin with the case. For our purposes we need at least a mid-tower ATX case. These have at least three 5.5 inch drive bays, a couple of 3.5 bays and most important of all, plenty of room for air to circulate.

| Anyone who has had to fool with audio cards knows that compatibility is a real consideraion when putting together an audio computer. Clearly, the Intel processors are the benchmark for compatibility.

In our efforts to be all that we can be career wise, we invariably run into several bumps, obstacles and forks in the road. At some point, we may face the question of whether or not we need either degrees, course work or perhaps a shot in the arm in the form of hands on training to accomplish our goals.
We all desire roughly the same things- competence in the form of know how and connections leading to work.

Several months ago I was mixing a symphony I had sequenced for a local composer when I noticed the French horns were fuzzy in one channel. It was that unmistakable sound of a bad connection, the kind that goes away when you wiggle the wires.

As I mentioned earlier, I used the Vienna SoundFont editor to organize the patches in my master SoundFont file. The first step was to build a series of "audition" files, so I could compare the dozens of similar instruments side by side.

Now, I'm about to tell you guys some lies, and I'm gonna tell you some truths.
The lies will all be relative lies, pertinent to given situations and changeable as life or the mind of your last squeeze.

PIII or Athlon,
That is the question.
Well Shakespeare, I'm here to tell you that in many cases it just doesn't make a damn bit of difference. I'll pull out some numbers in a moment, but the bottom line is that both the Intel PIII Coppermine and AMD's K7 Athlon make exceptional DAW CPUs.
Lineage
Since the birth of the PC DAW, Intel CPUs have been synonymous with top-performance and stability.

When I think of the M-1, I think of high-quality audio, and a product that eschews the bells and whistles and flashing lights that are so prevalent on products today.
I certainly agree on "quality".

I can't remember the first John Hardy M-1 advertisement that I saw. It seems as if that smallish ‘The John Hardy Company' ad has always graced the back pages of the trade magazines that I read. I remember thinking that this simple little draftsman-like line art drawing could not possibly induce anyone to purchase the product, and the paucity of accompanying information did not help.
Little has changed over the years.

Well, it's been a few months since I last reviewed the latest "must-have" gear for ProRec, but I think you'll find the wait was well worth it.
This month's installment features the Dr. Z Carmen Ghia 15 Watt all tube guitar amplifier.
