ART USB Dual Pre Great for DSLR Users!

Yorkville I believe at one time and for a long time was a sub of Samson electronics, these day and age a lot of manufacturers are owned by large Entities such as Harman which owns DBX, JBL, AKG, Soundcraft and Studer among many more, and HUGE firms like Bosch that own not only the car equipment manufacturing but also own Electrovoice, Midas consoles among other things not to mention they make from car horns to washing machines...
so it is not unusual at all that one company owns several name brands. not to mention they change parent companies once in a while. I have trouble keeping up with who owns what from week to week...lol
 
A friend of mine has a studio and mastering facility, but he also has a Yorkville vendor line, so he gets good deals on gear. Anyway, as far as I know, Yorkville has Yorkville (their own brand of speakers and some amplifiers), ART (the aforementioned company and products; MXR is now owned by Dunlop, as I believe Rick mentioned), and Apex (some decent workhorse microphones, Chinese ribbons, that sort of thing). I love ART stuff (going back to the 80's), I have one Apex microphone that's pretty decent, and I'm about to pick-up a little stereo mike they have, and I have a set of Yorkville's for live use, and a little mono powered Yorkville monitor in the studio. All decent stuff, and very reasonably priced.

In any event, while the Yorkville rep was very diplomatic to be sure, and mentioned that a few people on the West Coast do indeed call them "Art," that the company name is indeed "A.R.T." (just like MXR was always called "M.X.R." and not "Mixer"). I shant go into any more detail than that, as the original point of my response to Mike, before we got all silly, was "Good Job!" I stand by that assessment.

Precisely. Thing is, there were a few assumptions made about "the human voice" and its ability to intone certain sounds/syllables, that really only apply to the _Western/Anglophone-speaking_ human voice; and perhaps only the American English speaker at that!
