Thanks for the replies, guys. I thought I heard somewhere before that ethernet hard drives where a bad idea, but I didn't know exactly why. Just trying to figure out if I can live with just one firewire port on a laptop and still do everything I'd like to do. I'd like to record audio to/from a...

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...

One possiibility would be a Lexicon Omega. Up to 8 ins at once, according to their specs (2- xlr, 4- 1/4", s/pdif), which is why I would give it a hard look. There are just too many times that you need more than 2 input options. Midi ins/outs also. I've played with it a little and it seems to do...

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...

Ez- Thanks again for the reply. The signal is digital right up to the monitors and I'm using Digital Performer 5. FWIW I think I found my answer. I did a quick search for dm24 and d/a converters and came across a posting from sonic albert (I think that's his username), who I tend to respect...

Hey EZ- Thanks for the replay. That's exactly what I'm saying. However, I'm trying to figure out where exactly the breakdown is. The more I think about it, agreeing that it's the A/D converters (or possibly even the D/A), then the problem would lie within the dm24 more than the motu, wouldn't...

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...

How long is your snake? (Alright, I think that came out the wrong way) I'm not 100% certain, but I think I recall hearing that this method isn't a great idea with chords greater than 10'-15'. I'm certain that someone more knowledgable than I will verify/rectify this statement. I do the same...

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...

thanks war, I actually do use balanced chords and would opt only for a balanced patch bay. It wouldn't make sense to do otherwise in my current set up. I'm sorry EARWORM seemed to se running into this problem with an unbalanced bay.
