Quick question. Looking at the possibility of a new computer and wodering if an external gigabit ethernet hard drive would be adequate to record to and play back from for 24+ mono audio tracks at 44.1k 24bit. I know that firewire 400 and 800 should be adequate for that track count (and then...

I have an associate that is currently looking at putting together a little project studio for some inner city students (educational purposes). He asked if I could put together a little proposal for him. I was thinking about putting the projectmix in the proposal, but was just curious about a...

I was messing around the other day with my dm24 (haven't had it too long) and noticed a subtle yet definitive difference between the signal coming directly into the board from the mic and the one returning from my DAW that I usually monitor. The query lies in the fact that the dm24 is...

I'm sure this is a silly question, but how much control of your daw will something similar to a novation le 25 give you over your entire DAW. I know these types of devices can control midi channel volumes, pans, etc. and that you can have them operate your transport controls for the most part...

Thinking about changing some things around in the studio and utilizing a DM24. Just had a couple of questions though. 1. Has anyone experienced any issues/problems with using the firewire sound card that tascam makes for the DM24. I'm still utilizing a mac dual 533 and want to be certain that it...

I've been recording audio for a while but never messed around with soft synth or virtual instrument stuff and would like to begin to do so. I have a dual 533 mac still hitting DP3 on OS9. I'm considering doing both upgrades to OSX and DP5 in the near future. However, since my audio puter is only...

Quick but Possibly silly question, but does the anyone know if Waves Gold bundle will work in conjuntion with N-Track.

I'm in the quick market for a new kit and have heard a bunch of good things about the Yamaha Stage Customs. But in the process of calling around, I had some people saying that perhaps the Pacific FS might be a better route. Anyone had recording experience with these kits. I'm aiming for a...

I'm not even certain I'm using the right terminology. I've done mostly straight forward recording and haven't messed around with computer samplers and software instruments. But recently I've been concidering trying to incorporate them into my set-up. I'm currently running DP3 on a dual 533 mac...

I was getting myself confused (not hard to do) with trying to get a new outboard pre integrated with my set up until I realized that I could get what I wanted through using a patchbay (didn't concider it at first because I try to keep all my lines as direct and clean as possible) in...

I'm sorry in advance if I get a little long winded here, but I have a couple of thoughts I need help with. I'm working off of a 2408mkII and 1224 and have been happy for the most part with the units as I have them clocked with a Lucid genx6. I had been doing most of the tracking and monitoring...

I know I just posted a thread about A&H boards (and I'm tending to lean that direction) but I was also looking at the M8 or M12 boards because they had a bunch of people saying good things about them. However, I just came across someone saying that the soundcraft pres are noisier than the Mackie...

Been seriously considering the past couple of weeks switching out my 1604 VLZ for an AH wz16:2dx. Been hearing a bunch of good things bout this board and just wanted some last opinions (some reassurance). For those who know, are the AH pres just as quiet/quieter than the VLZ pres (I always go...

Sorry if I'm asking a stupid question, but I'm thinking of upgrading from a Makie to an A&H board. I know that there are a few different classes (GL, Mix Wiz., etc.). Do they all have the same type of pres, just different bells and whistles otherwise? Are the 16:2 and 12:2 basically the same...

A friend just lent me a couple of KSM32s to check out. I thought I'd have fun and compare them kinda side-by-side to a B1, 4033, SM57, 603 (for giggles), an M201 (for more giggles), and some other dynamic beyer mic that I think was called a Revox but the name is scraped off (looks exactly like a...
