MP has more options for different (not necessarily better) hardware, LE has more options for software expansion. IMO, the LE interfaces are quite good.

LE and MP are basically the same, accept that the complete production toolkit is only for LE (for post production). HD is a totally different animal, tied to specific hardware and is MUCH more expensive.

if you have an mbox 2, you actually have 4 inputs at your disposal. the spdif inputs add two more inputs. you can get a stereo preamp with spdif outputs, or, like i did once, use a fx processor with spdif output as a makeshift AD converter.

a good school can help you with those communication skills. ;)

no one is calling you a "stupid teenager" or telling you "your dreams are stupid". personally, i was just giving you some insight into my experience. take it or leave it, i could care less. may want to check your attitude a bit, or work on your communication skills. your reply was received by me...

i am 29 years old and i am currently attending full sail university. i have completed the recording arts program and i am currently in the music business program. i think i have a pretty balanced perspective of this whole thing as i owned and operated my own studio before, and still am currently...

not true....

false. LE has no automatic delay compensation for plugins. however, most plugins dont introduce any delay. you can check plugin delays by opt + apple (alt + ctrl on pc) clicking on the black level display until you see "dly". if there is a delay on a track, there will be a numeric value displayed.

are you using a send to do your NY compression? if so, i would recommend this instead. create two aux tracks name one NY, and the other Drum Buss (or whatever suits you) route the output of all your drum tracks to buss 1-2 set the input of BOTH the NY and Drum Buss to buss 1-2 this will...

another quick note. given this is a manual process, you should hold off adding plugins that introduce delay until you are done tracking. otherwise your new tracks will be out of sync. separate the "tracking" and the "mixing" stage.

do not move your audio around. you can really get yourself into trouble doing that. use the delay comp plugin that comes with pro tools. it works like this. buss your drums to an aux put desired process on aux for you drums route all OTHER tracks to another aux put delay plugin on that aux and...

i dont even bother installing the ignition pack any more. more trouble than what the plugins are worth. all my plugins are ilok now...

of course, you cant do anything with the masters, cuz the performance is theirs. ;)

two thoughts. 1) learn how to spell "engineer". 2) if they paid you for your time to record them live, the masters are theirs to do whatever they want. however, if you did it for free, you own the masters and have no obligation to give them to them.
