Yo Bueno Roberto: Remove the SSSSSSSSSSSSss sounds? A de-esser will help curb those snappy S sounds make by some vocalists. Could be mostly female singers, but some males have that problem too. Most of the new DAWS have S removal programs, as well as the PC programs. Green Hornet:D

Interesting little tip in this month's EM. I wish EM would do more stuff like this -- it's so easy to understand. No DB's or bit rates; no DA or AD; no templates; JUST AN EASY TIP. Here it is. Are you ready for this? Instead of a popper stopper, or a nylon, or any other devious device...

I know someone will know the answer to this. I use Windows 98, 2nd edition on my PC. I can open all E-post files EXCEPT PPS files. This has something to do with powerpoint images. My friends seem to be able to open these files. All I get when I try to open a PPS file is a window pop-up...

OK folks: No more arguments. Here is what the Green Hornet got from Yamaha. I just knew that a 1k price difference had to mean some basic differences between the two units. I am quoting the E-mail I got from Yamaha. Nothing subjective. "1. Automix and moving faders. The 2816 has a built...

I know someone out there will give a quick succinct answer. On the AKG 3000 mic there are three little buttons on the mic shaft. Currently, I have them all in the off position. What would be the best position for vocals? Thanks in advance and happy 4th of July, except in Canada and other...

Yo to all: When I got my 2816, Yamaha also included one [they are generous] BASF CD-R which is ceramic plated. OK, so someone who knows, please clue me in. I burned the disc with no problems. Is it a better grade disc than the norm? Or, is this ceramic flag mean nada? I know someone will...

Hello to all those friends who have helped understand the Yamaha 2816. I just burned my first CDR. This is, perhaps, the easiest part of the box to use. I had a bit of trouble getting the right window but carefully reading the manual got me there and, after that, it was merely select the...

I didn't know exactly what Forum to post this, but if any of you folks out there can find the vinyl I will name in a moment you are in for a real enjoyable time. The engineering is fantastic. Terri who sings the lead vocals has pipes that equal ANY that I've listened, including the best out...

Out of my intense curiosity for knowledge, I relate this tale. A friend of mine gave me a CD that he made from a vinyl he had done with a GREAT female singer and a fantastic group. I played the CD in my car system when I got it and it just roared clear and clean. I took this same CD into my...

For all of you who know that gunk does accumulate on 1/4 plugs and the insides of where 1/4 inch plugs go, here is a neat little cleaning tool that utilizes interesting technology. Name: Conductool by Synersonix Purpose: Cleans 1/4 inch plugs and 1/4 inserts [they also...

YO Phree as a bird: Glad to hear you took a trip to "demo" units. One thing you might hear from some members here is that you can have more tracks to record with a PC based unit. Well, how many tracks do you need? Personally, 16 tracks are more than I'll ever need. I have the Yam 2816 and...

Yo to all: I don't post much in this forum but a question has been running through my mind for a while. I have the AKG 3000C mic. Question? How much better is the AKG4000 and why is it a better vocal mic? Thank you all in advance for your expertise. Green Hornet :D :D :cool: :cool:

Yo Yam 2816 owners who are new to the box like I am: If you are in a hurry for a copy of something you've recorded on the 2816, or don't have enough minutes to run out a CD, I discovered this. You can run tracks out of the stereo RCA outs on the back of the unit. Now, you don't have to mix...

For those of you buying a Yamaha 2816 or the 4416, it would be a good idea to get a Tripp-Lite 300 UPS. I just plugged mine in today and it is a slick piece of gear. It has three fully-protected plugs that will take up to 300 watts and give 4 to eleven minutes of full power in case you lose...

Anyone know where to buy Klotz cables in the USA? Thanks, Green Hornet:D :cool: :p

I just looked at the Yamaha instructional video for the 2816 and it's not too bad. However, the chick doing the voice-over would be drawn and quartered if she were speaking that fast in a classroom. Man, does that chick move fast. Like the old saying, "It's easy if you know how...." The...

Just plugged in the JVC cordless cans and walked outside while one of my creations was playing in the studio. Range for the cans is supposed to be 300 feet. I walked about 100 feet and no problem. Noticed very good pick up of left/right stuff I had panned on some tunes on the tape. The...

Yo Compatriots of Recording and other things relative: Just noticed some dramatic price drops in Roland recording gear. In MF, latest issue: Roland VS1880HD - 1599 880 HD - "499.00" My guess? New stuff on the way. Maybe DVD recording. Maybe something with an understandable manual? [They...

Well, as promised, I got my Yamaha 2816 this day. It is quite an impressive looking box. The manual is about an inch and a half thick and it was written by someone with a very THICK HEAD. But, I anticipated that since I have the Yam DX-7 synth which took a long while to fathom. Caution: if...
