    rack mount drive

    I am wondering if someone makes these? Not a rack chassis that holds an entire system, just one drive. I want to rack mount a external SCSI CD-ROM drive. I don't want to spend the dough on a full-on computer case that is RM, just a rack face plate, basically, with a rectangle punched for a 5.25"...

    First try with only the computer

    Hey all, This is my first attempt at recording soley with my PC. It is a short, boring and lame loop that I arranged using some samples and the Cubasis VST project pack. I hooked up the soundcard SPDIF out directly to my stand alone CD burner, so I didn't get the volume where I wanted it, and...

    S/PDIF splitters or Y cables. Do they exist?

    Curious if anyone knows if a SPDIF Y connector exists? My stand alone CD-R burner has one SPDIF in and I would like to hook up two sources without having to pull everything out of my rack to make changes between the two. Any help appreciated! Brad

    How can I make some money with my studio? REVISITED

    Save the song/jingle writing and the freelance sound design that I am already trying to do, what else can I do to make some dough using the equipment I have? (16 track modular digital, 32 track hard disk, etc.) I have been contemplating this for awhile and I know others have posted similar...

    Sound Effects programs?

    Does anybody know of any good sound effects program that: A) has royalty free sound effects of animals, nature, etc. B) GOOD quality sounds C) the ability to export these sounds as .wav files in order to pop them into other programs, specifically recording/editing programs. I found one last...

    I HAVE CONVERTED! sort of

    Okay, I have been recording music for about 16 years and was an analog guy until I went to digital tape-based stuff a couple of years ago. I have been avoiding the use of a computer in my recording studio for a long time - and for a several reasons: I am a Mac guy. I don't have a mac that would...

    Calling computer dudes, I ain't one...

    My recording setup is digital, but it is outboard (digital mixer, digital multi track, etc.) and I am trying to incorporate a PC for 2 track editing only. I have the comp, the software and a soundcard. The problem is this, I want to keep everything digital when I dump it into the comp, but my...

    RC-808 with 2 DA-38s?

    Howdy, I currently have a TM-D1000 mixer that I use with a DA-38. I use the RC-808 for the 1 38. I am planning on getting another DA-38 and the IF-TD1000 expansion board so I can upgrade to 16 tracks. My question is this: Will I be able to operate both DA-38 machines with the RC-808? Do I need...

    Surprised by Squier

    I admit it - I have secretly wanted a 7 string guitar since the first KoRn album came out, but they were always a little out of my price range for a guitar that I knew I wouldn't play all the time. So I figured I would wait til a crappy brand put out a 7 string for cheap. When I heard Guitar...

    Pro Tools FREE and internal audio ?

    Howdy - anybody know if this is possible: I d/l'd Pro Tools FREE from Digidesign and I want to use it only to edit. Is it possible to insert audio into the Pro Tools program internally? Instead of plugging into the soundcard, I want to pull tracks from an audio CD in the computer's CDROM drive...

    What exactly is a "Beat"?

    Is it just a drum beat? Does it have more instrumentation? Can someone point me to a site that has mp3 examples of "Beats"? Thanks, Beat-Dumb Brad

    If you're going to buy an Oktava MK319...

    I had heard good things about these mics for the price, so I decided to add one to my collection. I went to my local pro audio dealer where I am friends with one of the salesmen. He asked me if I had a half hour to spare and took me into one of their sound rooms and then went and got 14 of these...

    crap

    This is my first attempt at being "experimental" I was inspired by drstawl and Slackmaster2k. Please don't let that be a bad reflection on them. Trying to break the rules of music is hard. I tried to do it and nothing came of it. I finally just said "What the fuck" and rolled tape. I know...

    Hey David Hooper @ Kathode Ray

    Hey man, Just got my new Recording mag (courtesy of my TAXI membership) and saw your letter to TAXI re: the 2000 Road Rally. Damn, wish I knew you were gonna be there! We could've hooked up! Oh well, I had a good time. Meeting Lamont Dozier was pretty cool and I loaded up on the free goodies...

    Digital Cable Box

    I just upgraded my cable TV service to digital cable. My new digi cable box has an output on the back of it labelled "digital audio out" and it looks like an RCA jack. I assume this is SPDIF, but no where in the manual does it mention SPDIF and the box is neither Sony of Phillips. The manual...

    I don't know my wood

    I am building a rack using Poplar wood and I plan to stain it with an ebony stain (this is what I have laying around, I am trying to do this cheap!) Can anybody tell me if this is a good combo? Is Poplar a good hard wood for rack purposes? Thanks, Brad

    Dedicated to Eddie N.

    First off, let me preface this by saying that I love my mother and this is all in jest. I wouldn't have done this little rap song if she didn't have a sense of humor (though she will never hear it). So this is all in fun. I needed some cheering up over the last few days, and doing silly shit...

    Pooh Spew - Revisited

    Hey Teddie, Okay, Pooh Spew is back up on my site. Before you listen, here is a little history on the track: Needing a break from a serious recording session, my best friend/bassist/co-writer suggested we try something we hadn't in years. When we were yunguns, for fun, I would play background...

    A little in the red... per Ed

    If you have listened to my stuff before, you know that I do mostly instrumental stuff that I am trying to get in to TV/Film music libraries for licensing. In the past, I had specific film ideas in mind (motor sport footage, etc.) This time I had no guidelines, so I don't know what this might be...
