    Anyone using a MOTU 828 Firewire with a PC?

    I'm using the WDM drivers with sonar. I haven't noticed any pops or clicks with the 828. Do you have a 7200 rpm Hard drive? I get a lot of dropouts on my laptop because the hard drive is too slow.

    Anyone using a MOTU 828 Firewire with a PC?

    I'm using one with my PC Desktop and occasionally my laptop. I have been using it with SONAR and it works great. Very low latency etc.

    WinAmp

    the mp3 player that used to come with napster was even better. Made even crappy mp3s sound great. I think you can still download it from napster.

    Recording rapping And layering without putting off beat?

    I think that Aren is right, this is what I was saying above. Just export the wav file into a program that gives you more multitracking options or burn it to CD and play it directly into your mixer while recording vox.

    Recording rapping And layering without putting off beat?

    I would either record your files directly in acid or even better export the song you have created in acid to your multitracking program as a wav or some other kind of file. Then you can record over as many vocal tracks as you want, add effects, etc. I use Sonar which has the advantages of...

    recording farts

    This is one of the best posts ever. Made me laugh. Someone should make a website that is all fart samples from different people. We'll make them into acidized loops and sell it as "Poops for Acid".

    Firewire latency

    A couple people in a few posts asked whether there was any unusual latency associated with firewire. I can't claim to be a computer expert but with Sonar and my MOTU 828. I get can get down to 2.2 ms of latency. This is on an ECS K75SA motherboard with 256 MB ddr, athlon XP 1500, and a 30...

    USB Card for Laptop

    Here's some info from the technical "Support" of MOTU (which I should add is very slow responding) on the 828 and hard drives. "MOTU tested VST and Glyph Project Firewire drives. At max input/output, the 828 use less than 100Mbps (less than 1/4 full Firewire bandwidth, 400Mbps). Assuming the FW...

    Bunch of Odd questions

    Is there such a thing as voice to midi software or hardware? If there is, is it crap or does it work well. I like to use my voice to write complicated rhythm parts. I'm not so good at reading or writing down rhythms that I hear. Does anybody know of any tutorial software that helps you to...

    Mona Laptop?

    The whole firewire laptop to desktop flexibility is definately a bonus, if you max out your laptop when recording you can always go and add more tracks or effect later on a firewire equipped desktop. The MONA card is only good for the MONA unit however, if you buy a firewire card for the laptop...

    what do you think about this being a daw

    I am just finishing building a system with the ECS K75SA board. I have a 300 watt power supply. Why is it crucial to have a 350 watt oor higher and what kinds of problems will it cause with my system if I don't. Is it an issue of stability or an issue of damaging my hardware? I don't know a...

    Prett Hate Machine

    If "Pretty Hate Machine" predates pro-tools maybe it was "Broken" that was recorded on the ancient Mac with pro-tools. I just remember him explaing in an interview that he recorded one of his older albums on this Mac. He mentios that he recorded the guitar directly to the computer and it kind...
