Oy mates, I'm having terrible luck with recording! I recently changed computers- Dell 8400, 3Ghz, 1.5Ghz RAM, 80 and 120GB HDs and installed the M-Audio 2496 from my Dell P750 and Home Studio 2 XL. My HS2 is the one that needed the patch fro the "beta trial expired" message. The recording...

Mates, I'm using HS2 XL to record simple two track live recording or to edit transfers from LP to CD: RECORD: Oktava MC012s> Peavey VMP-2 mic pre> Dell 8400 P4 3GHZ> M-audio 2496> 120GB dedicated HD> edit in Home Studio 2 XL> CD-R [Computer is three weeks old, 512MB RAM, Radeon 128MB PCI EXP...

Mates, NOTE: Those with little time and no interest in my microphone history may wish to pop down this post to the section beginning "FINALLY- TO THE POINT:" Today, I dropped round a friend's house to look in on the kit he's planning to use next week for a solo paino CD recording. He will be...

Mates, Below is my thread of the odd problem of selected wavewform flickering on the screen. As there were other issues with impossibly slow operations in my Corel programmes that I could not resolve, I've returned my three week old Compaq SR1170NX and will start again- after some more thorough...

Mates, I recently changed from my elderly Cool Edit Pro 1.1 to Home Studio 2 XL. Also, the computer is only 2 weeks old: Compaq Pentium 2.8 GhZ/ 1GB RAM/ 128MB NVIDIA/ 200GB OS and 80GB music HDs/ WIN XP Home / M-Audio Audiophile 2496 / I have a cable modem- always on. XP is also new to...

Mates, I'm in the market for new recording software and have just gotten more unsure of the choice as I look into each of the popular ones. The recording chain: Kawai KG-5 (6'8) > Oktava MC012 > Peavey VMP-2 all tube preamp> M-Audio Audiophile 2496 > (since a week ago) Compaq Pentium...

Mates, I recently bought a new Memorex 52X CD buriner that came bundled with Nero 5 burning software. This was goofy looking with animated figures- apparently the evil offspring of the Michelin Man and a bagel- but worse are multiple layers of confirmation for "data" or audio CD- annoying. I...

Mates, SEE PART ONE > Continuing the list of as many current tube microphones as possible: MXL MARSHALL V77S $379.00 The V77S features a 3-micron diaphragm, transformer balanced output, and a 6072 vacuum tube * Superior sonic characteristics * Renowned 6072 Vacuum Tube * 27mm (1.06")...

PART ONE OF TWO>> Mates, This version is a duplicate, perhaps the moderator can delete it? Thanks for yuor patience, Bambi B

PART ONE OF TWO>> Mates, I'm a poor audiophile and lazy home recordist- recorderator- what is the term?-as it's possible for me to find equipment and a setup that actually seems acceptable- and I just settle back and use it. This leads to a temporary complacency and I fall out of touch with...

Mates, I've been using Cool Edit 1.1 for quite awhile at home in a very basic way mainly recording acoustic intruments in two channels on to HD and CD-R. It goes thusly: Piano/harpsichord, cello, viola da gamba, or clavichord, or broadcast voice tracks > 2- Oktava MC012 > Peavey VMP-2 >...

Mates, For several years I've been recording home practice, some broadcast voice tracks, and rehearsal sessions thus: Kawai KG5 (6'8" grand) /sometimes with viola da gamba, cello, or clavichord or, harpsichord > 2-Oktava MC012 cardioid> Peavey VMP-2 all tube mic pre > Audiowerk 2 > Pentium 750...
