Please correct me if I am wrong on this, but it seems to me that just about every song I hear on the radio sounds "compressed". The only time I don't hear it as much is in classical recordings, and some "live concert sounding" jazz and rock, and also actual concert broadcasts (although not...

hey Im gettin one too. hey Angie -- what's your hardware config, if you don't mind my askin?

Long time no speak... Can you hook me up with a good price on a nice Lucid, like an 8824? I finally have some bucks to burn, and um gonna get a SAW, this time for real. -- jerry

hey sjoko... Can you hook me up with a Lucid 8824? I finally have some bucks to burn. (Long time no speak) -- jerry

Of course there are many approaches, chess. And DIY is fine, perhaps, Queue-- just not for me, not for singing. One of the biggest supporters of the very bad idea of learning to sing from a book/tape set was Seth Riggs, one of the most famous teachers in the world, who by the way taught...

chess-- sorry, I am just catching up on these singing threads now, after a few days away. Clearly you are a talented person, based on your successes. It is my belief that some very talented people will succeed greatly regardless of the methods they choose. I wish I was one of those...

Obviously I didn't mean stop practicing forever. Maybe like, just a couple of months.. It's just way too easy to keep making the same mistakes over and over again when left to your own devices. You will need to learn to accept sensations that sound just plain wrong to you in your head...

agree with Sabith I tried to learn to sing from a book/CD set for many years (Seth Riggs)-- I can comfortably say that this is NOT THE WAY TO GO. Study with a person you trust who can hear and correct you. It's not like chess, because in chess your opponent always teaches you. A tape...

hah!!! Some people think that singing teachers are like shrinks. Others say they are like witch doctors. I don't necessarily agree with these thoughts, but I certainly understand where they come from. I have been seriously trying to sing for about 10 years. I have had seven teachers. I am...

Anyone care to comment on the converters in these machines, and how they compare to one another? Are there any reviews that do AB comparisons based on sound quality? I trialed the d1600, which sounded excellent to me, and the guy at B&H Photo Pro Audio, NYC said that he thought it sounded better...

Vintech/103 sounds great to me, but I don't know shubop.

Awesome thread, Tube. I have managed to do, to an extent, what you and other members of this board have suggested. I have been patient (ugg), and I now have a nice pre (Vintech), a nice reverb (PCM 91), and a good mic (tlm103). I am still futzing over what recording setup to get, and I...

congratulations! Iry- Since no one bothered to say it I figured I would. I myself keep going back and forth with all this stuff. I first got the Korg, as I said, and used it for 2 weeks. I recorded a concert with it of a vocal group and burned a CD. It sounded great. I just...

thanks again sjok. Going to London to see the ole lady in a show, and then hopefully bring her back home. Will speak in a few weeks. In the meantime, one more question for old times sake: what do you think is the best converter deal for under 1K? Also: I think tango24 has alot better specs...

Thanks for the disk link sjok, I have to digest that one. Good points on OS stability. On the lower end, I know that "stand alones" like the korg d1600 are pretty stable, 'cause I played with one for a few weeks. I am sure you're also right about processor speed vs efficacy too. Actually, I...

Thanks!!!

yep - a guy named 'Lewis'. he knows how to sell to a geek like me!!! 'Lewis' likes the following config w/ SAW Lite: dual PIII MSI G94d dual mother board 512Meg PC 133 Ram Matrox G450 Dual (video card?) 2 IBM 75 Gig GXP drives (or smaller, if I want) tango24 converter RME Hammerfall (the...

these guys should give you commision... think Im gonna buy.

thanks zoetrope. Is this possible/practical with casette? What do you do with the excess tape? -jk

Wow -- sure wish I did this for a living! One thing I like about this SAW package is the upgrade path-- obviously much more reasonable $-wize, than Pro Tools. Also, it is entirely PC based, which makes it a lot more affordable than MAC, the preferred Pro Tools platform. Macs are just too...
