Hi there, As mentioned in an earlier post, I'm looking at upgrading my audio interface from 2 x Delta 1010s, to two Echo Audiofires (either 8s or 12s, or one of each). I'm now considering whether to go with the Audiofire 8, which has 2 mic pre's and 6 line inputs, or the Audiofire Pro-8, which...

I'm currently using two Delta 1010s in a Pentium 4, 3ghz, 2 g ram, using Windows XP Professional (sp3), with 3 UAD PCI cards, and Cubase 4. I've been getting more clicks & pops as my projects expand. I've tried changing IRQ settings etc, to no avail. I'm thinking of replacing the 1010s with...

Does anyone have a manual for one of these that they might share? Or, can someone briefly explain the function of the "calibrate" dial, and the switches? I picked one up for $10 (without a manual, natch), I figured I'd ask before I start farting around with the "calibration" etc. Thanks, Rio

I'm a home recordist, mainly recording demos and promotional disks for my bands, occasionally for friends as well. Somehow, over the years, I've managed to accumulate a number of small diaphram condensors. My main overhead mics are a pair of Russian Oktava MC-12s. In addition, however, I also...

I recently inherited a Mackie 24 track, 8 bus mixer, like this: http://www.mackie.com/products/24-8bus/index.html I currently record to 2 x Delta 1010s, using a variety of "pro-sumer" pre-amps (ART MPAs & DMPAs, DMP3s, BTDPs). I put the kick, snare & toms through inexpensive compressors just...

I use Wavelab 6 (+ UAD Plugins) for mastering. One of the tools offered is pan normalization-- basically, it's supposed to help even out the loudness of the R & L channels. I'm wondering whether it isn't messing up the original panning of the recording. On a recent recording, I ended up...

I have a pair of RSM-4s that sounded fine, I was changing the transformer last week to Lundahl's, and they seem to have developed a slight buzzing with lounder sounds whether from a guitar amp, vox or drum hits. Any idea what that might be? Any thoughts on whether it might be a mechanical...

I'm generally new to all this, but I have successfully modded an Apex 460 with a Peluso CEK112 capsule and a Cinemag 2480 transformer. I'm now waiting on delivery of a Peluso PK67 capsule to mod another Apex 460 tube mic. I'd like to use a Lundahl transformer, but I'm not sure of the model...

Check out my band, recorded, mixed & mastered in my basement studio. I'm using Cubase 4 for production, Wavelab for mastering, Delta 1010 + Delta 66 soundcards into a PC, with an assortment of mics & pre-amps, etc. Sure is lots of fun! http://www.myspace.com/theflyingbordelos

When using XY mic placement, facing the drumkit (i.e., audience perspective), the mic on the stand on the left (mic no 1) is facing to the right (towards the hi-hat side of the kit) and the mic on the stand on the right (mic no 2) is facing to the left (i.e., towards the floor tom side of the...

Hi there, I'm looking for a mic pre with a digital out (SPDIF) to use with my Delta 1010. I plugged in an ART DPS and found that the signal out of the SPDIF was really low, and distorted, to the extent it was unusable. I have a Mindprint Di-Port which I use with another card, and the level...

I just updated to a Delta 1010 from a Delta 66 to get more simultaneous inputs-- if this is a silly question, forgive me, but I don't see anything helpful in the manuals or in previous posts Here's the issue: I'm using a P4 1.5 Ghz with 1024 RAM, and Windows 98SE as the operating system. I've...

Hi there, I've got Cubase VST loaded on a Pentium 4 with Windows 98SE as the operating system. I've noticed that I can't defragment the hard drive that Cubase is loaded on... I can defrag my other drives, no problem. Is there something about the copy protection in Cubase that affects the...

I'm currently using Windows 98... would XP be better? My concern is that XP came out long after the version of Cubase (VST 5.1) I'm currently using, and I'm a little worried about compatability issues let me know, Rio

Hi there, I'm using Cubase VST 5.1, with a Pentium 4 (plenty of RAM, hard drive space etc) and a Delta 66 soundcard I'm getting some skips & clicks & noise etc, and it's been suggested that I try changing the buffer settings & memory per channel in my audio set up. Right now, I've got the...
