    Moving from PC to Mac

    Pro Tools is great. Works great, nice interface, very clean and easy to use. Beware of the limited voices, though (32 in PTLE). You might also take a look at MOTU's Digital Performer. It's a bit spendy but it's a great piece of (Mac-only) software. It's by far my favorite program for...

    Wharfedale vs. Berhringer

    I owned a pair of TRUTH 2031As for all of a month, and I now feel obligated to tell anyone who asks to steer clear of them. I got them as a gift -- neat, right? Wrong! Soon as I plugged them in, I noticed there was a radio station coming through the tweeters. WTF? I did some troubleshooting...

    Delta 1010Lt + Phantom Power Question

    No phantom power on the 1010lt, unfortunately. You'll have to supply it via a mixer or an external phantom power box. Sucks, don't it? :)

    Digi 002 vs. Presonus Firepod

    Sure they are (Digidesign, that is). It's not quite on the same scale as Microsoft, where something like 97% of the worlds PCs run Windows, but is there any valid reason that a 192 interface with all its necessary components costs $30,000+? No, it's simply because Pro Tools is more or less the...

    Save space on your computer and get better playback!

    Hey! We're not all like that! :D

    whats so special about Waves plugins???

    One thing about the Waves plugs that may seem trivial but is pretty important IMHO, is that they are very user-friendly. Most of the plugs have easy-to-read graphs and meters that show you in an immediately-understandable way what you're doing to your sound. Personally, I hate it when plug-ins...

    MBox + Windows XP SP2 problems -- (Code 10)

    Thanks Brett, I guess I'll have to try the CS update and see if it helps ... <sarcasm>Gee, I never thought I would have problems running Pro Tools under Windows!</sarcasm> ... maybe they'll fix it within a few years. :rolleyes:

    MBox + Windows XP SP2 problems -- (Code 10)

    Alright, so I went out and bought an MBox the other day so I could work on Pro Tools sessions at home, and for that purpose, I couldn't be happier. That being said, there's all sorts of other cool things I like to do on my computer, including watching videos, listening to mp3s, and generally...

    Digidesign MBOX vs M-Audio Audiophile USB

    Well it sounds like all you really need is a couple of analog I/O and maybe a MIDI I/O, so in your case the Audiophile USB will suit you just fine. The A/D converters in the card are a step up from the ones in your Sound Blaster, and should keep you set for awhile. Keep saving though -- if you...

    What's the worst professional mainstream mix you've heard

    The Nirvana 'best-of' that came out a couple years back. A prime exampe of 'remastered!' not always meaning 'better.'

    Digidesign MBOX vs M-Audio Audiophile USB

    I'll keep this pretty general: MBox vs. Audiophile USB: It boils down to price vs. performance, how many I/O you need, and what software you'll ultimately want to be using to make your recordings. The MBox has better preamps by Focusrite, and you get ProTools with it. It's got...

    Win98 or XP????

    Win 98 should not be used for anything, let alone recording. XP is 1000x better.

    Cubase LE vs. Pro Tracks

    I have an older copy of Pro Tracks (2.2, came with my DigiTech floor processor). It's not much but it gets the basic job done. From the looks of it, you have pretty much all the most basic functions. You can record audio (only up to 16 tracks) and MIDI tracks (unlimited) and put effects on...

    Something Like GarageBand on Windows?

    Take a look at Sony's ACID, it's pretty similar (I like it better) ... though it is more expensive.

    Thinking about buying an MBox

    Yeah I probably should have addressed this in my initial post. There are a few reasons: 1) I'm going to a school that is almost entirely ProTools-based. It would be helpful to have a PT system at home to work on projects (even without all the sweet Waves plug-ins) 2) I hope to be employed...

    Thinking about buying an MBox

    Well, I've been seriously considering jumping on the ProTools bandwagon lately. Now I'm just trying to decide what would be the best way to do that. My current setup is a PC running Sonar 3 Studio, M-Audio Delta 1010lt, and a Yamaha MG16/4 mixer. I'm thinking the best way for me to...

    Sonar problems

    Does this happen exclusively with the audio samples he's importing, or is he having problems playing back anything? His problem may be more specific than the problem I had with silence-where-there-should-be-sound in Sonar 3, but this may or may not help you: Do you get signal showing in the...

    are monitors a must?

    You have to consider that when you're monitoring with headphones, you're not getting the same imaging that you are when monitoring with speakers. With headphones, everything output through the left channel only goes to your left ear, and everything right channel only goes to your right ear...

    Question on Behringer monitors

    I got a response from Behringer tech support saying that I should contact them about sending my monitors to one of their service centers to have an "optional RF shielding package" installed. Now, I have no idea how much that's gonna cost, but let me get this straight: They want me to pay a...
