    Stereo track or 2 mono tracks...

    Hi All, I have been wondering abou this for a while and thought I would put it ou there for the experts to consider. It is mostly concerned with guitar tracks, but would be applicable to any stereo source. Most of the time, I record my electric guitar parts in stereo. This makes it a...

    CuBase and Logic with MOTU card...

    Hey folks a question for you. I am running a PC with a MOTU 2408 MkII and SONAR2. With WDM drivers under Win2k, I am able to work @1.6 msec latency. Are you able to get similar performance with the MOTU ASIO drivers with Logic or CuBase? I am considering moving up to something more "pro"...

    Patching in hardware effects with SPDIF...

    Hey all, I am wondering if I might be able to offload some work my CPU is doing by using a hardware reverb. I am running SONAR and a MOTU 2408. So, I have this SPDIF connection that currently isn't doing anything. If I patch a Lexi 500 into my setup, will I be able to route recorded...

    MOTU 2408 settings...

    Hi Folks, I am hoping for some help from any other users of the MOTU 2408 out there. I just picked this card up and installed it on my Dell 1.4 GHz P4 (yeah I know, bad choice). I'm running WinME and WDM drivers with SONAR. The thing is, while I can configure the card for sub 10ms latency...

    Aardvark 24/96 card - Slightly used...

    Hey folks, I have an Aardvark Direct Pro 24/96 card for sale. I assume if you're looking at this you know what it is, its the one with the preamps, and built in compressor, eq, and reverb. A good all in one solution if you want a good card, and don't want to pick up a mixer. Details can be...

    Making space for the bass...

    Hi Folks, Mixing problem here. I am a fan of bass giutar with a healthy top end, for example any Geddy Lee stuff, the character found on Jazz or Rickenbacker basses. My problem is this, I seem to get the right tone on the track, but when I go to mix, the top end disappears. So then I am...

    MOTU 2408 on a PC...

    Hey Folks, I am a SONAR/Aark user who is getting tired of waiting for WDM drivers. I am also thinking in the future of integrating a digital mixer in the furture to solve the dreaded "control surface" problem. Looking around, I came across the MOTU 2408. It seems great on Spec: 8 ins and...

    Best MMC application...

    Hi Folks, I have been doing the DAW thing for a couple of years now and it works ok, in many ways better than tape for editing, etc (duh). But one thing I can't stand doing on a screen with a mouse is tracking and mixing. I want to use traditional tape transport controls when tracking, and...

    Host based solution with physical control surface...

    Hi Folks, I am aware of Paris, and this may be the best solution, but are there any others out there? I am also aware that automation can be done in any of the current sequencers through envelopes. I am looking for a PC based solution that will have the following features: integration with...

    Shure KSM-44...

    Has anybody run across one of these? There was a lot of press over the last year regarding the KSM-32, almost all of it positive. I have seen some reviews of the '44 and the opinions have varied, but I haven't seen any raves yet. I'd be interested in hearing some real world experiences if...
