    BNC connections???

    I need to connect wordclock via BNC, non terminated (10 kOhm) terminal on my RME FF800 to my ART DPSII the RME manual leaves a bit to be desired when it comes to details... I recall "terminators" on older gear that used BNC cables... do I need one of these to connect the 2 units together? (I'm...

    RME FF800 with MacPro?

    anybody using this set-up? I've spent most of the day and I cannot get the FF800 to show up... Hardware profile sees 'something' connected to the port (I had to use a Fw 400x800 cable as the MacPro only has FW800 ports, and although the FF800 has 2 FW800 ports, they're apparently for hooking...

    RME Firewire 800?

    Anybody using this? I was going to get a Motu 828mk3... but they're now back-ordered to early February.... the RME is a bit more than i planned on spending, but I'm moving away from ProTools to DP and need a new interface, even though a few have told the 002R would work, I've had it since 2005...

    help synching?

    I have a TSR8- a PPS-2 synch and a Digi 002R/8.0 PTLE I've striped the tape- signal level is good, no bleed onto 7- The PPS-2 see's the synch signal PT sees the "Motor Control" under Midi, and it doesn't give me any errors that it can't communicate with it (although I had to assign it on port...

    I know this is one of those ongoing debates scenario- I've been on ProToolsLE since 2000- I am in the process of replacing my PPC with a 8 core (can't quite ju$tify the 12 core) I have been contemplating moving to Logic for some time, frustrated with various things about ProTools/Digi now...

    using 3 mics?

    any thoughts on using 3 mics on an acoustic? I usually use 2- an LDC ~12" off the sound hole pointing about the bridge, and a SDC ~12" off the neck/12th fret point towards the nut I'm wondering how much "bang" for the buck/effort" adding a room mic, say 8 - 12 ' back midway between...

    summing amps???

    any thoughts on these- I'm looking at the 8/16 channel units , as opposed to a stereo summing amp used mainly (I think) for mastering)? I'm considering changing my mixing strategy to stems and using a summing amp to get a stereo mix to send out for mastering and as they're pricey, I want to...

    Line Amps

    I have a pair of Fostex line amps that I used briefly for remote recording, running the tage snake into the LA's ... but now I really don't have much use for them (that I can think of) I think I heard somewhere that the Fostex line amps would work as active DI boxes and would pass signal in...

    synching to DAW?

    I have a TSR8 (works great) and I have a Digi002R I've looked at the PP2 unit for synching, but it only has midi connections. The TSR8 has a RS232c (which as best I can tell is the midi "port" used for synching it I have found one of the Tascam MTS30 synch unit... but no pics of the back to...

    Post fader levels

    OK- I come from an "old school" tape background where near saturation was the goal for signal levels. With digital, the consensus (amoung those in the know) is -16dB - -14dB so tere's plenty of room for compression. Based on some rather "ugly" sessions I've done with respect to clipping and...

    Recording Bass

    I've always operated/been so influenced/lectured/taught that DI bass was best. among the arguments was the length of a room to fully capture the low freq (32') and vibration artifacts, etc. A friend has loaned me his SVR and a David Eden for a project. My room is small (max from amp 20')...

    Using a Fender Leslie with a Hammond H-182

    I got the Hammond for my home studio for free. I was told it was a B-3 (big organ, pedals.... looked about like what I remembered B-3's looking like).... anyway turns out to be a H-100 series (the 182 has to do with cabinent style and wood finish). I've been offered a Fender Leslie for free...
