I wouldn't mess with Pro Tools Free -- it's based on Pro Tools 5.xx (IIRC), and Digi's up to version 7 now. Plus, it doesn't run on the latest OSes, so you'd need to get yourself a computer running Windows 98/Me or Mac OS 9. In addition to that, you only get 8 tracks of audio to work with...

Well, the final project may only have 500MB - 1GB of audio files contained within it, but I have projects that can occupy 5 - 10GB or more (including all unused takes, etc.), even at 24/44.1. Backing these projects up all at once to a hard drive is much more convenient than spending the time to...

Alright, so my little Dell just ain't cuttin' it for my higher-track-count sessions, so I'm looking to pick up a PowerMac G5. Question is: which one? I can't wait for the Quad G5 to ship (need it sooner than 3-4 weeks + shipping time), and I can't find an old Dual-CPU 2.7GHz machine (don't...

I think it's Ctrl-click (or Cmnd-click), but yeah what he said

What is the error message? Is it something about the driver not passing Windows Logo testing? I get that message whenever I install ProTools on my machine (Mbox 1), and it is even noted in the PT manual that this error screen will pop up during installation and you should just click "Continue...

Thanks, very helpful :)

bump So, has anyone with an RNLA tried using it on the stereo bus? Thoughts?

No problem with replacing some of the weaker kick hits with copies of some of the better hits. You may also look into triggering depending on the song or the style of music.

The easiest solution would be to record using overdubs instead of having everyone play at once, live. If you need to play together live, the following might be fun. It may require a little bit more equipment than you currently own, and I don't know enough about your interface to tell you...

As DonF alluded to, when you're burning your CDs, make sure you're burning an AUDIO CD, not a Data CD. If you're burning an audio CD, your PCM files are automatically burned as a .cda file, which any CD player should be able to read. Where you might run into trouble after that -- and what you...

Hah, that's funny, I was just going to say the exact opposite. :D Don't much like using a D112 or a Beta 52 -- they end up requiring way too much EQ or another mic used in conjuction to get a decent sound that cuts through the mix. OTOH, I've had very good experience with 421s and RE20s...

Yes, amplitube can sometimes work wonders for a vocal track if you're shooting for a particular effect. Give it a shot!

Well the $100k question that you're asking is basically, "How do I get my recording to sound like the ones on the CDs I listen to?" That, my friend, is a very involved query. Keep at it and hang around the BBS some more and you'll begin to understand why. :) To answer your question about...

I had a pair, and had to send them back because they didn't work properly and Behringer wanted ME to pay to have them fixed. You can do a search for my comments on them if you want the full explanation. As far as sound quality, they were alright. Some definite hype-age in the upper...

Do a BBS search on the Truths ... there have been some not nice things said about them in recent history (I myself have contributed). The BX8's seem to fare a little better around here, though any of the less-expensive monitors seem to have their fair share of problems and no shortage of people...

The MBox is limited to 2 I/O. The next step up is the Digi 002 (about $2200), which also comes in a rackmount version (about $1200). I know a few people with the rackmount version and they're all generally satisfied with it. Sounds like the Digi 002 is what you're looking for if you want to...

If working with larger studios is a concern for you, then having ProTools will make your life somewhat easier. Of course, having material recorded and mixed using another piece of software won't prevent you from working with larger studios running ProTools, but not having to deal with...

Currently running a DELL :(, 2.8 GHz P4 :) 512MB RAM :( And currently recording to/playing back from the internal 7200rpm drive for home projects :( (got a Mac-format external drive for serious recording projects in the studios @ school) ...and PTLE 6.4 runs like crap on my system :(

Here's an example of the enclosure I was talking about: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=876437&CatId=1204

If I'm not mistaken (and I may be, so don't quote me on it), in order to use your external drive as a recording volume via Firewire or USB, it needs to have the Oxford 911 chipset. You can buy a separate enclosure for your hard drive that has the chipset, and that should take care of it. From...
