I'd like to design a monitor controller, as I believe that what's on offer on the market is overpriced, and often have features I don't much care for. What features do I want? Balanced Signals Main Stereo In Alt Stereo In Main Out Alt Out Dim Switch Mute Switch Mono Switch Volume Control...

So to cut a long story short I have just bought new old stock of a Powermac G5 Quad 2.5... Obviously it's gonna come with Tiger on it (arrives tomorrow). I'm just wondering seeing as I purchased it brand new the other day, from a reseller - i.e. it's never been opened or registered - would I...

I'm just wondering how many people here own a Pro Tools HD rig?

I've got a JCM900 100w Head, I play in a 6 piece band, and require a boost on my distortion channel for when I solo... Ideally I just want to increase the volume of my distortion channel when I solo, as I like the tone, but there's no provision for it. The only alternative I can think of is to...

Pro Tools 8 is now available!

No firewire AT ALL? What are Apple playing at? And surely if you're gonna remove firewire, you'd increase the number of USB ports?! Only Firewire 800 on the Macbook Pro... Kiss goodbye to having a supported Pro Tools system on a Macbook or Macbook Pro. Or maybe that was Apple's plan? (No I'm...

I'm running Pro Tools 7.4.2 on my 2.2Ghz Core 2 Duo Macbook with 1GB of RAM, running Leopard 10.5.4 (holding off on updating to 10.5.5 until it's Digidesign qualified). I have no problems running Pro Tools, except when I use any instruments, it tends to hang like a bitch - especially when...

OK so you may have seen my previous thread asking for opinions and your feedback was appreciated. I have gone ahead and discussed it with my parents (it's their garage!) and it's getting closer to being given the green light. Basically I've drawn a quick plan in PSP. I'll now try to explain it...

Wooooooow, looks amazing :) Check it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFCjv4_jqAY

I may well be converting my garage into a two room studio, obviously control and live rooms, with a window between. I'm well aware of what I need to do, in terms of the studding etc. Just wanted input on the proportions of the rooms basically. Currently the space is square, 5.6mx5.6m with no...

I took my macbook along to band practice tonight, and came up with the idea of just recording the whole thing on garageband using the internal mic (!!) to help me with learning the new songs. Unfortunately I kinda forgot to plug in the power supply, and the battery ran out during recording...

I've searched for, but not had any luck finding ideas for how to do that tuning sweep between two radio stations. Basically, what I want to do is start off with a song which sounds as if it is being played through a radio (i.e. band limited etc.), and then have the radio retune to the actual...

I've used Cedar Tools Retouch recently. It's awesome. You can eliminate coughs, car noises, page turns, mobile phone rings - brilliant. Basically it works by interpolation, but very cleverly implemented. Only problem is I can't afford it. Can anyone think of an alternative programme/plugin...

Anyone got experience with mastering choral music? Specifically a carol concert I recorded in a church over the festive period. Just wondering if anyone could give a few pointers, do's and don'ts that kinda thing. My first thought is I obviously don't want to compress/limit too much, but I...

I've just got my new Macbook, it's all working fine and I'm really happy with it... Except... When I plug one of my external drives into the USB port, it doesn't appear on the desktop. I can find it in Disk Utility, but can't "Verify Disk" or "Repair Disk". The drive works absolutely fine on my...
