Thanks Thanx mixsit, Thanx spiral, I record through both stereo inputs because I am too lazy to reset the panning on the sub-outs that go to the recording card. With this setting, I only have to send the signal to the sub-outs (one button), and worry in Cubase wether to record in mono or...

Yeah, but what if you don't get an answer when asking for permission? Now don't laugh, but for the heck of it, I wrote to 20th century fox for the use of their fanfare at the beginning of their movies. Here are the facts: - I am recording a rap group in Niger. Their probable duplication...

I was wondering: Is there anything to consider in this signal-path? microphone ----> mic-preamp (mono) ----> mixing desk track (mono) ----> mixing desk sub-outs (stereo, panned hard left/right respectively) ----> PC-card stereo ins ----> Cubase recording in MONO I have always tracked this way...

I've had my Eurodesk 2442 for 2,5 years under EXTREME conditions (45°C heat, Sandstorms) and it has never failed me. I don't regret my purchase. Hans Niger

Correction Ooops! What I meant was that I HAVE Magneto 1.5 as a tape saturaror. And in junction with the above mentioned plug-ins I'll like to listen to your comments on the order to place them and why... Thanx again! Hans

In my home studio I have managed to get the sound I want and - sort of - expected on a CD. They were always singles for an artist here, another one there. Right now I am working on a whole CD for an artist which merits a more professional approach, so for the first time I am thinking of letting...

I got PS-8s - Even they have no bass! I went from KRoKits to Event's PS-8. I went for them because the implied range goes down to 35 Hz. After a year of working every night: I actually still miss my KROKits. I also thought "Aw! I just have to "learn" the sound of the PS8s", but after really...

I know it isn't mastering (that's why I put it in !quotes") - it is more of twiddling at my wave-file until I am bored.;) To those with the golden ears (to help me with my tin ears): Where would you put a tape simulator? At the very last stage? These are my "mastering"-wannabe-tools...

Niamey calling Hello Harald, I haven't recieved your Email yet. Did you send it to dijoux@hotmail.com ? Hans

MOLD?! Yeah! That's the way I see it too. It isn't a big world anymore. It may sound corny, but I actually sometimes go "Why can't we all get along?..." :D But we can't probably get along as long as I insist on playing Steve Vai guitar at full volume and nobody around here understands...

Niamey Hello Harald, yes I am in Niamey. And as I can see, you are in another desert in Mexico! Must be just as hot there! Well, right now we are "freezing" with 22°C. ;) No, I am not with Uni Hohenheim. I knew my neighbours were with them. Mahlers. Their children played with our children on...

Djembes with lows? I find your opinions interesting, even though I differ. But hey, I am just your typical home recorder. Are you really sure that Djembes have "low" frequencies? I Agree about the mids (and what I percieve as "low" would be low-mids), but even highs I don't find them...

Recording in Niger cerealchamp2000, Sorry to dissapoint you, but I'm not a full-fledged engineer, just a passionate rock-pop music lover which with this expatriate contract was able to buy himself a small project studio. At days as Dr. Jekyll I work for the german development, and at nights I...

You think you have dust problems?!?! For the last couple of years I have lived in Niger, Westafrica, just to the south of the Sahara. My problems in no particular order: - Sandstorms (You can close all doors, windows - nothing helps) - Powercuts (I have two fuse boxes in series to save my PC) -...

Now where, when, who was that?!? Hey sjoko2! I don't recognise the people (is it Abdallah?), and I suppose the anassara (="white person") is you :-), but that's my enviroment here! The last Touareg I recorded was a friend who had never multitracked, and had some difficulties adjusting. Now...

Thanks for all the perspectives... Thanks elebnj, So some of you say it is still worth a try - to go to a mastering house - under certain conditions... (sitting in the same room, discussing the goals beforehand, etc.) Well in my case, the situation is surely a bit more complicated. I own what...

Yeah, I know... I have read it enough, and I actually believe it: "Leave TRUE mastering to the experts, etc. etc.". I also understand, that there must be a difference bewteen all that high-end mastering processors/gear that's used by the golden-ear-boys... BUT I still have my doubts about...

Update!!! PS8 good for me? Oh man!!! Now the doubts grow even further!!!: 1. Their midrange is VERY present. I had bought them because my KRK ROKits didn't go as low as to well check the bass. They go only down to 69Hz, whereas the PS8 go down to 35Hz. But I have problems getting adjusted to...

Djeesas!!! Hanging around the Forum I have seldom noticed anything said about the Event PS8 (or PS5, PS6 for that matter)... Are they shunned? I got them recently without testing them, just by net/catalog-reviews because I am living in west africa for the next couple of years. Any other users...

My opinion on VS-880 : get a PC Hello Taxman, My 0.02$ out of my own experience: I invested in a project studio and had thought of building it around a VS-880EX for audio applications, with a new PC for Midi (Cubase). I sold the VS practically unused. There are 2 Reasons for this: 1. I had...
