Hey everyone. My new band has been in what I guess you would call "pre-production" for about 3 months now. Here in Hawaii, cover bands are the norm and we got sick of it. Now, it's all originals and we're taking our time to hopefully do it right. This is one of our "demo" cuts we are using...

I'm going to be purchasing the HD-24XR to use both as a mobile recording solution, as well as 24 channels of conversion to my PC. I plan on using ADAT i/o between the HD24 and my RME 9652 PCI card. I was just looking at a few things, and I'm wondering how I am going to be able to monitor with...

I recorded a live band on Friday night using the VF160ex...only 8 channels were used. I've brought the unit back home to import the .wav files into my computer. To accomplish this, I use the backup feature on the VF160ex. Every time I try to backup the PGM, it tells me that an error has...

Hey everyone. I've thrown more studio setups in & out of my head over the last 6 months than I can remember. I think I'm finally deciding on the HD24 as my next purchase. I want to go ahead & describe my thoughts and ask a few last questions before I buy the unit. If I'm out to lunch with...

Well, here we go! My bass player came over today & put down some ideas. 3 short songs total, with multiple bass tracks on each song....(kinda the Victor Wooten playing along with himself type of thing). I got bored tonight & thought a flute would compliment his work, so I gave it a shot &...

Hey everyone. I don't have my "mobile rig" finished yet, but I've been doing some recording for a videographer of mine using a Fostex VF160ex. What I do is go on location, record using the fostex from direct outs on the board, then back the recording up to CD. After that, I transfer the audio...

Planning on running Sonar 5 with Waves Plugins, US-2400 Control Surface, etc.... I did some searching around NewEgg.com today & found all of this for under $1K. I still need to pick up RAM, but I couldn't find the brand I was looking for. Does this look like a good setup for under $1K? I...

I just bought a Tascam US-2400 to work with my DAW (Sonar). The only problem I'm having now, is my desk is a little small. It fits, but I don't have room for other stuff at the same time (keyboard, etc...). Does anyone have a link to a desk or plans to build a desk that will work with this...

Hey everyone. Well, I've been reading for months & months, been to a professional studio with my band (pro tools, avalon, neve, neumann, etc..), read more.........then I came back here & still kept reading. My problem is........I can't decide! I could really use some help here. Starting off...

I want to be able to record up to 24 tracks into SONAR 4. My current plan is to utilize a couple of Mackie 800R preamps, along with some better single preamps, going through a MOTU 24i/o into the computer. I would control the mixer in Sonar using the Mackie Control Universal, with a couple of...

I'm looking to use (2) Mackie 800R preamps for general use (drums/guitars/bass) in my home studio, and use a few other preamps later down the line. Currently, I have the Focusrite Voicemaster Pro without the digital out option. My problem is, I cannot get a clear answer on what soundcard I...

Hey everyone. I'm just starting to get a plan in place for putting a small home studio together using SONAR 4. Currently, I'm deciding on what preamps I want to buy, and I have it narrowed down to 2 selections. The Presonus Firepod, and the Mackie Onyx 800R. Presonus says that they have BETA...

Well, I've read & read, and I'll continue reading after this thread has been answered by people that know more about this stuff than my newbie self (everyone start replying!). Situation: Rock band starting a home studio. I'm the drummer, & pretty much footing the bill as I've always wanted to...

Hey everyone. Well, I've been trolling around here for a little while now, so here's the first post! Background: Energetic rock band, all military guys. Going to the only good studio on Oahu isn't good for us, as our schedules suck. The solution, something I've wanted to do for a while...
