    Dedicated DAW Laptop

    I do not. For my purposes this will have more than enough muscle - and then some. For the price - and after to talking with a couple of friends who are very happy with theirs - it seemed like a logical choice. I was prepared to spend a lot more for a laptop or full tower PC until it became...

    Dedicated DAW Laptop

    I'm exhausted..... reading everything there is to read. Good grief. What a pain in the ass (imo). But I've had a lot of helpful comments and suggestions - here and elsewhere. Thank you. A lot different from where I started - it looks like I'm likely going this route: AOOSTAR PRO MAX GEM12...

    Nameless Child - work in progress

    Mix sounds pretty solid on my playbacks. Balanced - everything sounds pretty clear and distinct. The drums have that super-compressed thing going on - which is not entirely my thing - but that's just a matter of preference. It does fit the big picture, I would say. The triplet thing at 4:02...

    Dedicated DAW Laptop

    Oops one of the most unhelpful things I can do when asking for advice is to forget to include key information. And I did not mention that I am strictly a PC guy and intend to stay that way. Thank you for your input

    Dedicated DAW Laptop

    I think I'm plenty capable if it came to building my own but at this point I really just want to make music and work in the daw. So buying something already put together is very attractive.

    Dedicated DAW Laptop

    Yeah - others are asking me the same question elsewhere. It's a sensible question. I was leaning laptop so that I could work in the DAW when I travel for leisure. But I'm not locked in that mindset. It's occurred to me that I can have reaper (already do) on my Lenovo business class laptop and...

    Save Me

    Nice! Performances sound solid. Production is excellent. Enjoyed that, well done. :thumbs up: I like being knocked off balance once in a while. Refreshing.

    Dedicated DAW Laptop

    I think I'm ready to finally purchase a dedicated laptop that will be used strictly for working in a DAW. I did read through a couple of threads here on the subject. I expect to continue to capture performance data and do all tracking with the Tascam DP-32SD and then import those .wav's into...

    How to record an upright piano using 3 microphones?

    Please be aware.... I don't know my *ss from a hole in the ground. Seriously - I'm a big time novice. And I've never recorded a piano. I was just thinking that beyond two mics - you may be complicating things unnecessarily. But I don't have any experience to draw from whatsoever.😉

    How to record an upright piano using 3 microphones?

    Yeah - let's hear it. I've never done it before of course. But my first thought was: why three mics instead of two?

    Started mixing lead single for my rock musical (Musical Theater/Hard Rock/Prog Rock)

    Maybe not the only one - there might be 9 of you. I thought it was very entertaining.

    Need some help recording electric guitar w/ amp & mic

    I've also been happier with the pairing of the 57 and 421 as opposed to two 57s - which i did for years before finding a good deal on a near mint 421. Last year I picked up a e906 which I have not tried in combinations yet. But it sounds great on it's own so looking forward to experimenting...

    Adele

    Absolutely. Of course - I'll always prefer a smaller venue. I avoid arenas and stadiums altogether these days. However - the above Adele tour came to town here in DFW at the American Airlines Center (early Nov. 2016). A close friend and his wife had purchased two *extra* pairs of tickets...

    Need some help recording electric guitar w/ amp & mic

    For my own personal recordings - I've been using strictly modelers (primarily the Strymon Iridium) for 3-4 years by now. But I do still put the 57 and 421 on my 59 BMRI when other people record here at my place - which is not often - but occasionally. The material always varies - as do the...

    Need some help recording electric guitar w/ amp & mic

    I've paired the 57 and 421 for years - but have not tried your phase trick. I'll check it out. :thumbs up:

    Zoom R16.

    There is no sense whatsoever troubleshooting any further unless the card being used is of the correct specifications that the manufacturer recommends or requires. R16 manual page 12: • The R16 can use 16 MB – 2 GB SD cards and 4–32 GB SDHC cards Specifications, Page 95: Recording media SD...

    zoom R16 recording glitch

    Yes- I record to SD cards as well - and while I use a different platform than the Zoom - I would start there: make sure your machine is updated to the latest firmware and either try doing a full reformat of your existing card - or try a brand new card altogether. Not sure about the Zoom - but...
