hey y'all i have a Powermac G5 which has been working fine with the naoisy but bearable fans kicking in every now and then. However, i fitted a Powercore Element card last night and it works fine, but i've noticed that since doing so my G5 fans are now permanently on. now it may just be the...

hey guys i have a track recorded by someone else that has a fairly poorly recorded djembe on it (big whumpy drum for those unaware) - the drum has a lot of bas end decay but little top end crack to it. as it's fairly exposed in the track (it backs a medieval vocal ensemble) i can't 'resample'...

Hi guys i'm investigating the possibilities and potential for a Digital Performer forum in this BBS. i know Unicornation exists, but i'd be interested in looking at a smaller forum based here. i've posted a poll to guage whether this is a goer or not. thanks for reading, and sorry if this...

hey guys - kind of a saturday afternoon posting really obscure question, but i'm having a wonderful "back to the 80's" afternoon and loving that i don't have a session today (apart from the stack of mixing!). does anyone have any idea what guitar rig Midge Ure used to use in ultravox, i just...

hi guys simple question: does anyone have strong feelings about any of these? my current frontrunner is the Tech21 as i'd heard the vox has a few reliability issues. i'm also loathed to pay for DSP that i don't really need as i have a little armoury of pedals i've always used. the tech21...

i know this is probably a strange question but.... is there any problem having more than one spike protector in my mains line? i have a dedicated one on my mac, but have just bought one of these outlet style ones to go in the wall before everything else - i'm just loathed to take the one off...

hi guys ok - if i have a loop of known BPM and known recording pitch (say C3) - is there a simple calculation to work out how the tempo will change vs an increase/reduction in pitch. e.g loop in running at 120bpm at C3, what will be the tempo at B below C3? (i don't want a specific answer to...

hi guys, this is a bit of a rehash of a post in computers, but i think i may have posted in the wrong area, but i'm a bit desparate for thoughts and opinions on this as i'm slap in the midle of sessions!!! quick bit of advice - i had one of those dreaded moments earlier - my file (being run on...

hi guys quick bit of advice - i had one of hose dreaded moments earlier - my file (being run on G5/OSX - digital prformer 4 - netdrive FW external drive running) that i was working on locked up. i forced DP to quit (using force quit) and on reopening the file there was an EVIL scratchy digital...

hi guys this is similar to lascalaboys' question earlier this week, but i thought it was just different enough to warrant another thread - sorry if not! i've just been mixing some stuff i didn't record, and had a load of group choir components (mono track of group sopranos, mono of group altos...

hi guys i posted this on the marketing forum, but got no replies - just wondered if it was more of a technical query though... this is probably a really simple question but - how do web sites and media players know the identity of CDs? i mix, master and compile all my own demos and CDs -...

hello all! this is probably a really simple question but - how do web sites know the identity of CDs? i mix, master and compile all my own demos and CDs - using Jam to compile. how do i get things like windows media player and iTunes to pick up the identity of those CDs? CAN i get media...

hi there i've just had a wierd situation - client came in with vocal song files and one of the singers has what can only be described as a pronounced lisp - double 'ss' definitely comes out as 'th' the client (who engineered the sessions herself) - claims the singer did NOT have a lisp - could...
