Bottom line, I have access to a mid range acoustic set, but for most recording, I use an Alesis pro USB set that I added a dm-8 module to a couple of years back - because I was not yet into computer based recording. The dm-8 sounds pretty good, but now that I have upgraded to full blown...
Another option is Ebay. Since passive monitors are kind of a dying breed, you can pick up a studio reference amp cheap. I own a Samson Servo 550 I picked up for less than 100. Samson is inexpensive gear, but this thing is very clean and uncolored sounding. Most Hi Fi amps color the sound...
Try Ebay also. Most vendors START with the Waves sale price then take offers from there. I got my Renaissance Maxx bundle for under $100 and picked up the Eddie Kramer guitar channel yesterday for $15.
I've also posted this problem on the Reaper forum and I know it's been discussed in the past, but does anyone successfully use Waves Tune or Tune LT in Reaper? I did plug in Waves Rewire to an extra channel, as suggested, then plugged Tune into the vocal track. It seems to scan the song fine...
If it were me, I would scrap the idea of using a previous version of pro tools and download Reaper. You get a 60 day evaluation license for free. After that the non commercial licence is only $60 and the commercial license is only $250. It is an awesome daw for recording and fairly easy to...
This would have been a much more debatable topic a few years ago. And speaking as someone who recently made the switch to computer daw recording from my trusty ole' Yamaha AW4416, it's a no brainer. Go computer recording. All in one's are a dying breed. I will say this however, I still track...
Guess I didn't ask a question. Does anyone have any experience with the Waves Renaisance Maxx bundle? is it tricky to install and use? I am currently evaluating Reaper. Thanks.
Just purchased this plugin bundle just before they went off sale for $110. The physical disc copy, brand new. I thought it was a pretty good deal. Being the physical copy I figured I could sell it and recoupe my money if not make a couple of dollars if I decide not to install it. The regular...
Hi! My name is Adam and I'm an alc... Ooops, wrong forum. Just kidding. I have finally upgraded my studio to all computer based from standalone MTR's. Most recently a AW4416 - vintage 2000. Everyone has been great so far and very helpful to this 50 something sound tech. who hates...
I'm the one with the translation problem I have no clue what "127" or "100" mean or where to look for them at. Again, the alesis works fine as a midi controller for the aforementioned rack modules, but has no velocity sensetivity when controlling the piano plug in in reaper. I'm not sure how...
I'm new but not green. Although i am Greene. Just making the transition for older high end standalone mtr's to all computer daw recording and music production. I have been using an old Alesis quadrasynth keyboard (very cheap and horrible sounding) after my weighted key yamaha digital piano...
I am new here, but I've been doing live sound on analog gear for over 20 years. The AFL/PFL stands for after (post) fader listen and pre fader listen. Normal is afl. You send the channel signal to the headphone monitor bus just as it is mixed. In PFL it sends the incoming signal after your...
For some reason, I couldn't get the AW extract program to work. I think it is a problem with the cd writer in the AW however. The computer would not recognize the loaded files. If I could get the ADAT sinc to work, I believe this would be faster. I actually have most of my work stored on...
There is help with the AW416
I found that you have posted in a different forum. I replied to your "newbie" post. I still record with the 4416 and still own it. I am transitioning to all computer daw recording. A limitation of the cpu of the aw will not allow but so many recorded tracks to...
There is help for recording on the AW4416
Greetings,
I have recorded on the AW4416 for a few years. I am now in the process of going strictly to computer DAW recording. The 4416 is a very intense system to learn. It is also a very capable system and you can get very professional results...
Greetings All,
Wasn't sure where to post this, but I have so much to learn about computer Daw recording I will try here. I am not new to digital recording. For years I have been using a Yamaha AW4416 with nice results. Very stable, up to 16 tracks simultaneous recording at up to 24/48. It...
Hello Eric, I have owned the Yamaha AW4416 for many years now and have recorded many projects with it. I will say that the learning curve can be quite steep. It is worth the effort however, as the features are extensive and the sound quality is hard to beat right in the box. If you really...
