Looking at getting one of these or Alto MAXIDRIVE 3.4 (As soon as I find one for < £300). What's the Bobby Moore? ------------- "Who am I? I'm the guy who does his job.. You must be the other guy". |

| Mine has never so much as hinted at making any horrid noises. |

i've had it twice on old models, always a five minute cure. i've been going all analogue recently and the dcxs are getting dusty, i blame that jody youth...

im sure someone said you can solve this by sticking a piece of gaffa tape inside between the outer case and the connections? is this true? ------------- u knows it |

I believe this to be a red herring now. The act of removing the i/o board to affix the gaffa disturbs the ribbon cable thus making it seem like it's the correct cure. Just remake or reseat the ribbon connector. ------------- My laser stuff: http://www.facebook.com/SubsonicSystems" rel="nofollow - Frikkin Lasers |

| The problem that the gaffa tape fixes is a seperate one to the frying eggs. I've seen units where the board has definitely been touching the inside of the case. Only a problem if you hit the case or put strain on the XLR's. |

I have a quick ultradrive question and rather than start a new ultradrive topic i'll just sidetrack this one.. i just got a brand new ultradrive. i've also bought and paid for but not recieved an AVC2. i have to leave tonight for a festival, so most certainly won't have the AVC2. up till now, i have been using an old Behringer Autocom mdx1200 (for some reason can't find mention of this exact one on the behringer site but anyway...) compressor / limiter.. as my limiter. and it has done the job ok. my question is.. till i get the AVC2, should i still put the autocom before the ultradrive, or are the limiters in the ultradrive pretty much the same and will i gain nothing? thanks if anyone knows. |

I'd go with the composer (now a composer pro hence not on site anymore) if some-one really goes for it and overload the input of you DCX it is all over, white noise from rig most certainly blown top drivers, digi stuff doesn't sound warm when you gun it...
If you wanna play set the mdx up as a limiter and then use the comp/limit bit of the dcx just to see what it sounds like, never used the input limiter on mine as i always use a 402 across LR
I rate the dcx as it cost a 10th the price of my 336t (which IMHO is better than XTA) and ain't that bad at all but I think letting it try and look after your rig on its own may be more than a £190 X-over should be allowed to do...
