OMF - Open Media Framework When you do an OMF file, it can put togheter audio files and sessions files in a kind of a zip file or stuffit file (the principle I mean). That OMF can be read by differents programs (Protools, DigitalPerformer, Nuendo etc...). It might be a solution for both of...

Maybe... One particular thing with Tascam machines and there remote, it is that if you want it to run proprely, you have to "update" either the machine AND the remote in the same time. Maybe your MX-2424 do not have the same version of soft than your remote? I think current is 3.12 for MX...

Hi Ahmed, I'm Re-recording assistant in post-prod. I work with Tascam MMR8/MMP16, MX-2424, DA-98, Protools, Augan and more.. I also have at my home a "bizard" setup with 3 soundcards (Gadgetlabs, SB and Yamaha) on my poor little pc... seam to work well and a VS-890 (Roland) for recording...

Thank you Thank you Ahmed for that "unfortunatly expected" answer! Pierre Montreal, Canada

Hi, I try to figure out if there any way to hook a firewire/usb 2 Drive directly to a MX-2424 for "smartcopy" a session (without passing thru my computer) Thank You

Hi Trane65... Just for make sure... Midi Cable do not transport audio signal. You must have an 1/8" input on your soundblaster card. You have to take your output signal from you VS (Main output) into your "Line In" of your SB-Live. For that, you while need a cable with two RCA connector on...

Why not this? Why dont you buy directly a CD-R Recorder instead of a Mini-Disc or a DAT? Advantage : Record direct to a CD, No Compression, CD-R are cheaper than a DAT, No friction between the medium and the machine and you can directly import your takes into your DAW without grade of...

I might help... Do you know that application? http://www.powerquest.com/partitionmagic/ It did some miracle for me, because I have a rack disk (not sure of the expression in english) that I transport from one computer to another, and, sometime, for no reason, NT just blink my drive and do the...

Compressor is use as an "aux"? So, it mean you double your signal no? Can you use compressor in "insert" option somewhere? Because, as I can read, you might use compressor as an aux, so, yes, it will do some processing, but it will add it to your mix-down. Unless that you listen only the...

I had that problem when I used to transfert 4 tracks thru my SPDIF. The thing I had to do is, transfert track#1 with track #2, then, retransfert track #1 with track #3, then transfert track #1 and track #4... Then, I had just to "phase" all my tracks #1 to get back my 4 tracks digitaly...

Question Here, I have a CD-RW2000 (Tascam CD Writer) (It's like a DAT Recording machine, but work with CDs instead). I want to put inside my computer some sounds (music etc...) that come from my balanced console, pass thru the CD Writer, convert to an digital signal (Digital optical out) and I...

Clocking Have you checked the clocks of your devices? The source sound, clock should be set "Int / Internal" (for a small installation), and you have to make sure the VS is set as "External clock" when you record in digital. Make sure also that the sampling rate is the same everywhere. Good...

Hi Jack, Have you see the special number of "Electronic Musician" - "Personal Studio 2001 Buyer's Guide"? I bought it, and, I found a lot of good information for me. Also, by the same magazine, the publish in last september à special "build a mic cabinet on any budget" No, I do not have...

CD-Burner For me, it would be the same recommendation. Yamaha, for me, represent the best buy (quality/price) But, the Plextor had the "best cotation" according with "pc magazine" (I do not remember the mounth of the issue) I had an H.P. 7100 IDE... good for one year and a half, than...

You have to read about the D8B. One bad thing for me (I'm an assistant engineer working in post production for film) is the D8B is "Move Sensitive" and not "Touch Sensitive" . I dont know in music, but in film, it's really a pain somewhere, because sometimes, you have to just "tweak" a bit a...
