...anyone in the New York City or Miami areas with the ability to transfer 1/4" 8-track reels over to WAVs (separate tracks) - please PM me your contact info/website....

Our very own Jason Walsh (Farview) has created a series of Rock Drums samples sets for the Drumagog plug-in and he did an outstanding job.... I bought it a couple of weeks ago and was very pleased to discover how well they were produced! I highly recommend them - especially the forthcoming...

...if you guys want serious reverb, get the Lexi 960 at $15K, if you want the next best thing, get this little guy. One word sums it up completely..... SWEEEEEET! I haven't scratched the surface of all its capabilities yet, but it is an incredible-sounding unit and has a completely flexible...

After continual problems with my curent webhost, I've moved my site to a much more reliable host........ the new URL/direct link for my Articles page is: http://www.bluebearsound.com/articles/ I've put in a redirect for the old URL, so it should still take you to the right place, but the...

I previously posted the update file at the download site was corrupt (it would only work when updating the OS by midi, not by ethernet).... Alesis finally fixed it and the latest update is available (and is confirmed to work with both midi and ethernet updating...)...

Alesis just posted an HD24 update on Saturday - v1.18 - it fixes some critical bugs that I've encountered.... unfortunately, the file appears to be corrupt - myself and a few others are getting Invalid File Format errors upon trying apply the update to the HD24. I've reported the issue to...

Is there a way to make a selected fade-type "sticky"? (ie, set a default other than the one they preset so I don't have to keep re-selecting the fade-type each time I slice a new track...) A pretty glaring omission in terms of user interface on Sonic Foundry's part if there isn't a way, IMO!

...by me before going to 5-digits! 12. :rolleyes:

...for anyone who's interested, I added a virtual tour to the studio site. http://www.bluebearsound.com -- access it from the homepage or via the STUDIO nav button on the left........

I purchased this one a while ago, and upon re-reading it recently, I was reminded how excellent the content is. While not geared towards novice recordists (meaning it's heavy on theory, very low on practical applications), it does provide an excellent background on the theories of human...

...normally, I wouldn't do this, but not only is this band talented and have produced an excellent album, they're also just a great bunch of guys.....

Anyone know of any software that handles splitting audio files into chunks better than SF does? Sound Forge's file splitting process (called "Auto-Region") is pretty kludgy.... parameters are set as a percentage rather than actual dB values, making setting specific sound levels as clip-points...

I've recently listened to a number of people's clips lately (here and on other forums) and all of them are completely squashed flat from overcompression. There have been a number of excellent compression article links posted here and other sites -- there's no excuse for not knowing how to...

Well... my S2-As came in today.......... I mounted them and hit the power switch.................... SD on the Masterlink (via Lucid converters) and sat down to have a listen................ all I can say is HOLY FRIGGIN FUCK!!!!!!! Can you say open, spacious, big, sweet and rich-sounding...
