hey sonus, this is going to open a big fat can of nightcrawlers, i imagine that everyone at this site got into home recording (and spending wads of cash to do it) was so that they could take charge of their own product from start to finish. i'm not into playing engineer. i like playing guitar...

hello again, i need some more input from everyone. i'm thinking of mastering at home as i've gotten to the point of mixing where my product comes out near radio ready. (so why trust professionals at this point?) i've been doing some research on the tcfx and i see that there are other posts...

hi, i've got some virtual tracks on cakewalk linked by smpte to my analog deck. i want to sub-mix my cakewalk stuff through another mixer instead of on the computer. (i.e. run my gina outs to a mixer and use outboard effects) i'm looking for a simple 8 channel in, two out mixer with at least...

help, i need an opinion. after about a year and a half of procrastinating and asking research i took the big step of purchasing an akg c414. against my better judgement i bought it over the internet as it was about $200 bucks cheaper than the local stores. though it was imediately apparent...

why oh why did they ever do away with vinyl? the cd revolution was just another case of the corpations saying "this is better for you because its cheaper for us". my mother has a few records from around 1905 that can still be played on a victrola. can't say we'd still be able to do that with...

how can you go wrong for half price? no it's not the best comp to use for a final mix but it's nice to have as an extra. let's say if you've got a wayward drum or guitar line that gets just a little too hot. something you may not want to use your good comp on. happy motoring stax

has anyone had any experience with the De-Esser from Sound Performance Lab? anyone hear if it actually works? anyone know of any other companies producing this kind of product? all input would be helpful. cheers stax

have you made sure that your input and output is the same level? when i got my first 3630 i couldn't figure out how the damn thing was supposed to work and i got a lot of hiss and breathing. when you hit the bypass switch on the comp you should be at the same level as when it is on. having...

being a reluctant "computer guy", i had to add my two bits. being so tied up with crashed nt servers i've very little time to experiment with beta systems. the other day i had a guy with 2000 beta (i think 3)and e-mail trouble. i took a quick look at his system and knew we're in for trouble...

i've come across two people who've tried to partition their systems with 95/98 and linux. both failed dismally and had to reformat/re-install. something i wouldn't want to do on my working system (unless you have a day to back up all of your files)i NEVER recommend any of that stuff like...

i've been networking computers for about 13 years now and i've seen some pretty strange things. this is one them. and when i tell some of the newbies on staff to do this they think i'm bananas because it's something they haven't seen in a book. i've found that sometimes machines, due to...

thanks for all of the input on this topic. i did not get much information out of the tech at tascam but come to think of it he DID say that the two units i needed (for input and output) were rack mountable. i'm going to assume that that means it is a step-up - step-down process. (though i was...

finally got a response from tascam. spoke with a tech out there and he claims that there are two units i need to get an la-80 and an la-81. BUT... he claims that converting to +4 will only add more noise to my setup. he said the only reason to go +4 is if i'm stringing cable over 20 feet...

while comparing mics at both the at and akg sites i noticed that theres a 414 tl that's designed specifically for vox. has anyone used this mic? is it worth the money ( i haven't found a price on this yet. is it more? less?) from other posts (i think Silent responded)and users it seems to come...

dragon, didn't see that message until i posted the one above. my problems with analog seem to be coming when i try to record and play at the same time. i do have "simultaneous play/record" checked and i did increase the buffers. every once in a while it schiz's out and i can't do them both...

duh. i forgot to mention one important thing about striping the tape. it's not going to work if you have a built in dbx on the tape deck. if you are using dbx then there has to be a "sync" button (on the deck) to defeat dbx on track 4. if you are not using dbx then it's okay. (but i can't see...

sorry that the info i threw you didn't help. if you're not getting any signal to your computer and you're getting the "waiting for smpte" message you should check a a couple of things. the first being the sound level coming from your deck. when i first striped my tapes they were way too hot and...

hey sonusman, thanks for the input. yeah, i do have a 1/4" out which i'm sending to my deck. can't upgrade the deck as it is a tascam msr 16 1/2" which i invested a lot in. do you think there is anyway to hot rod this deck to make it +4? thanks stax

hey there, i just went through the smpte nightmare with a tascam 16 deck and cakewalk. i read about a lot of problems people were having with the smpte lock up with cakewalk at their discussion site so i was sure their would be problems. people seem to have a problem with cakewalk drifting...

hey there, does anyone know of any software that will give me a readout of sound waves in kilohertz? (for pc) thanks stax
