Thank the GODS it's over! The CDs came today, and I've never been more happy to see a package in my life. (Seriously, I'm writing a 40 page paper for my class in school right now and it hasn't created even half as much stress as this stupid mastering job). So what about the CD? Well, it...

You all make excellent points. Health situations do make a difference. My only real complaints are that (1) Sjoko2 never once contacted us to let us know that he was having health problems and that the job would possibly be delayed by several months. It would seem to me that if I realized I...

the latest I just got off the phone with Sjoko2, and he said that there was a mix up at the studio. Apparently, the interns that he has hired to take over the studio were supposed to mail everything in a certain "pile." When the pile was gone, Sjoko2 assumed that the mail had gone out. But...

Update: Still no CD today. I don't think it was a scam, if by "scam" we mean that he intended to deceive me. I think his intentions were geniune, and that he really does have all the equipment and knows how to use it. I also think he really thought he was doing us a favor by making the offer...

Also, PLEASE get the message here. I did not start this thread intending to attack Sjoko2. In fact, I'm a little uncomfortable that it seems I have entered into an argument between Sjoko2haters and Sjoko2likers that apparently has been going on for a long time. It wasn't until I saw the other...

Gidge, I'm not trying to trash Sjoko2. Like I said, maybe the CD will be in my mailbox tomorrow, in which case, hooray, I'm happy. The only reason I decided to bring it up here is that Sjoko2 told me the CD would be here today, he PROMISED me it would be here today, and it's not. It's been...

I guess it is possible that he sent a CD after November 5th, it got lost in the mail, and that this second CD is just a bit slow in getting here. I'm not trying to trash Sjoko2. If it is in my mailbox tomorrow, and if it is the kind of excellent mastering we would expect from him, then I will...

So since I posted, I have gone back and read some archived stuff, and apparently, we're not the only ones who are getting stuff back a bit slow. I guess it's no secret that "S" is Sjoko2, and the ealier thread I am referring to is "Sjoko2's mastering offer scam." As this thread shows, there...

Green Hornet, thanks for the reply. I hope it works out too. Not paying up front is a definitely good idea. But this guy seemed so reputable that I would have felt silly not trusting him. No kidding, he's a VERY regular poster on this site, and I would have thought that the risk of being...

I need some advice here. I don’t post very often here, but I read all the time, and I am always impressed with how knowledgeable and helpful everyone is. I have my own home set-up, and though it’s nothing too fancy, I really enjoy recording my friends and I. This last summer I recorded a...

Mastering It's been a while since I last posted here. In fact, the last time I posted I was just getting started recording. But now I'm to the point where I'd like some really good mastering for my songs. I'd be happy to throw you some business. Please email me at rwilliams@english.usu.edu...

Thanks for the reply, Ola. I don't know, but I'll check on that. Squashboy.

I do trust him. In fact, I only posted this message here because although he does know a great deal about computers, he knows next to nothing about recording. It is comforting, though, that you think the same thing he does (that they can be retrieved). Also, I do have a CD burner, and I...

So the other night, after a week of SWEET recording, I turn on my computer to mix a few tracks and.....no cigar. It won't even load windows. I said "!#*@" and a few other things my wife frowned at, and then took the computer over to my computer-whiz-techno-buddy. I use a Maxtor 7200 RPM 40...

I use a Gadgetlabs Wave 8/24, n-Track software, a 700 Mhz CPU, 128 RAM, and 7200 RPM hard drive. It works great. The best advice, though, is to read everything you can about it here in the forum. You'll find a system that suits your needs. Good luck. Squashboy

Things so far . . . With a full time job, I haven't had too much of a chance yet to try out all of your suggestions. However, I did try to find out if DMA was enabled or not. I followed all the steps to get there, but DMA wasn't even an option! This is very strange to me because I have two...

I'll give it a try Emeric and Monty, thanks for your help. I'll try all your suggestions and then check back. I hope it works. Thanks again, Squashboy.

I've read what I could about pops/clicks/jumps here in the forum, but I still have a problem. I'm running the Gadgetlabs Wave 8/24, nTrack studio, with a 700 Mhz Pentium III, and a 7200 rpm 40 GB hard drive, and I'm getting pops and clicks. The nTrack manual says to increase the buffer...

I am really confused here. I know that I'm just inches away from figuring this out but I desperately need help. Here's the deal: I want to get some drum tracks for songs that are mostly guitar/vocal. I'm using n-track software, wave pro 8/24, and the same computer has an SB live in it (which...

I have a computer that I'm using just for recording. I use Gadgetlabs 8/24, n-Track, and a good mic. Until now I've done mostly guitar and vocal tracks, and everything sounds great. But now I'm wondering about getting some keyboard sounds (specifically piano and percussion). The reason I'm...
