Good question! I'd compress first, so as to keep the original dynamics. Then EQ (so you can hear what it sounds like before effects), then effects (because they might add more volume), then normalize.

but I thought some of you would get a kick out of the new photo I have on my column at http://refreshdaily.com

Play the MIDI files with Windows media player while recording the sound with PowerTracks. Your monitoring might have to be on...see the sound card page.

I know this one came up a month or so ago, and I downloaded it then, but I finally got a chance to hear it now and I was blown away. Not just the overall mix, which has already been picked over at length in the thread at https://homerecording.com/ubb/Forum15/HTML/000033.html but the song and...

Using DOP? I know nothing about this program, but without a bit more information it's hard to tell what you're doing wrong. But is a K6/200 fast enough?

Hi, some of you were asking about portables that can use "real" sound cards. I don't know how much these cost, but I did happen to run across a site that has these: http://www.ssengineering.com

They do sell them, but if you're not rolling in money just buy some wood and make your own. It's nothing but a box where the top half comes off! Use good wood, screws, glue, and draw (not drawer!) latches to keep the halves together. If you want to make it look like it's worth $400, buy some...

Welcome Dr. D...and thanks for the kind words. Don't bother upgrading with that plan. A 166, even with afterburner, is way obsolete at this point. And Windows 3.x is completely obsolete. I'd just decide whether to either sell some DATs and put together a spectacular computer-based system for...

You can't.

You need a test tape, which you'd have to buy from a pro audio repair supply shop (MCM Electronics might have these), since if you attempt to record your own you won't know if the recording deck is on spec or not...of course, if you have a tone generator and frequency counter you can check any...

Your new card?!?!? Sheesh! I don't have any personal experience with that one but I would run whatever Windows diagnostics you have, especially Norton. Check for interrupt conflicts...this is almost surely a hardware or driver-level thing.

It's certainly possible and if you can't find a good music store in Seattle, you're not trying! Just don't do what Kurt Cobain did and rent a shotgun mic from the wrong place...(groan!)
