The original recording was done on one of the older 4-track (cassette) Tascams. I did find out why the tracks were not staying place though... After you have adjusted everything where you need it...if you right click on the track, there is an option to lock it all in place. Once I did that I...

RDRAM My previous post came out wrong...I didn't mean you shouldn't buy a system RDRAM because Intel tried to push it into the market. My reasoning, though it was stated poorly was that even Intel is moving away from the RDRAM platform and adopting the DDR standard.

I would suggest going to www.pricewatch.com and looking for components there. I just built a system and saved myself almost $300 before taxes buying it from the lowest sellers instead of buying all my parts at one place. As far as specific hardware, Intel processors are solid, but pricey...

Nice Mix... I like the sound of that mix...good full-spectrum recording. Interesting music too...would you call that trance?

Not too shabby... Honestly...nothing personal but I HATE western, but I think you have a really good sounding recording. The vocals and the guitar really good.

I am able to align different audio tracks, however, I am unable to keep them in place. Here's my process... 1) Get all tracks into n-track 2) Align tracks so that vocals, guitar, backing vocals, etc are coming in at correct times (I usually expand and then retract the track views to get as...

I'm an Alesis convert. I was going to get the Mackie...until I did a bit more digging... What about the fact that the MDR only supports hard drives 32 GB or less? I also heard that it records in 15 minute chunks so...if you are going to be FTPing the files to edit on your PC you will be...

I came across a book that talked about using mic cable splitters to attach one mic cable to two snakes. Has anyone ever seen one? If so...where? TIA

I need to get a good (not great) 24-track board that I can use to get a submix (from the house board) and dump it down to a Mackie MDR. Because of that, I would like to get a board that has the ability to do both pre and post fader line outs...but post fader outs would be absolutely necessary...

It sounds like it's a horse apiece either way I go. Honestly, I was hoping someone was going to say they use their PC for on-location recording...but that was more of a pipedream anyway. Realistically, I think I'm going to go with a Mackie MDR24/96 and board for remote recording and build a...

Thank you all for your responses... Right now I have an older PC, but I'm planning on getting a new system soon. A little background...I work as a network admin (Windows-based) and am all too familiar with the instability of the WIntel platform...but the plus side to that is that I know the...

I'm sure this is going to stir the waters...but which is better for recording...PC or Mac? I am looking to get a system within the next couple months...any input you have would be appreciated...

When I was looking into getting some sort of dampening in my "studio" I just did a web search on google.com for egg crate foam. There are a lot of companies out there that sell the stuff in big sheets (often custom sizes as well) and for prices considerably cheaper than you would pay if you...

Thanks...you're input is truly invaluable... Maybe I should have been more specific... What I am wondering is: Is an IDE RAID striped setup stable enough to record 16 to 24 tracks simultaneously or would I better off with a SCSI? Has anyone run into any problems using and IDE RAID setup...

I want to record 16 (or more) simultaneous tracks directly to my PC's hard drive(s)...single SCSI (Ultra160) or IDE RAID??? TIA for your help!
