    Upgrading my DAW!!! read this thread u will laugh!

    I would be a bit cautious about Compac. I got a new HP at work and opened it: not even place for a video card, everything onboard! Check a local shop and ask around. Don't go overboard with the latest and greatest. First find out what soundcard you need. You mention a digital input. What one...

    cool edit/adobe audition

    Don't know if you can compare it to cubase. I stopped at version 1.2a and there midi was non-exsistent. There was added a bit of midi functionality, but CEP/AA is foremost an audio editor. It's midi capabilities are minimal. CEP was designed to run on a marginal OS: windows. So it has...

    Tracking a whole set

    Use feurio. Select the whole recording and just put in non-breaking markers where you want a new track to start. Burn the whole lot as DAO.

    It happened again!!!!!!!!!!!

    I would check the fragmentation of the HD. If it is always after about the same amount of time/work and it goes away with a re-install it would be a place to look at. And check the the HD is not on cable-select (CS), that it is not on the same controller/cable as the cdrom/dvd and that dma is...

    "NORMALIZING"

    Normalising should -in theory- only be done as the last step, just before bit-depth conversion when going to the final medium (mostly before burning the cd).

    A NooB's plea for help

    Do you need mics? Monitors? A soundcard and application are only parts of the whole thing.

    Get a larger HD and use .wav.

    Bit and sample rate?

    Not really. If you want to continue in 96k, then first convert all your 44.1k recordings to 96k using the "convert sample type" option. Use the resulting files from that point. It will take some time.

    how important is soundcard quality? NR settings default

    Soundcard is important as long as it doesn't add more noise/distortion than your original already has. For transfers from LP and tape, it is less important than recordings from mic. But having a card that doesn't add noise itself is useful. Any of the SB's should be treated with caution. They...

    RME Digi9636 volume control ??

    Don't know about the 9636, but I have a 9652 and you cannot control the volume. This is a digital only IO card. It doesn't have a mixer like a SB. What does your manual says about it?

    What do you think about Audacity?

    First, record in at least 16/44.1, better in 24/44.1 .wav. It will take up lots of space, but the quality will be all the better. With formats like mp3 or wma, you trow away a lot if information (music in this case) to save space. Now, if you want to make a cd, then you will probably be...

    Sampling frequency

    When he/she is about 3 months old, after that it won't even go up that far.

    Multi tracks on soundcard??

    Yes, you can. But most of the cards do not have as many mic inputs as they have inputs. So you will need external mic preamps. There might be some solutions, but those will consist of or an external box going to a digital soundcard or a usb/firewire solution.

    What do you think about Audacity?

    Like it quite a lot. Only thing that is a bit of a setback is the way it records into a huge lot of separate files. So you always have to export to wav to go to another application. I'm also one of those that cannot see a single reason to go to wma if your destination is CD. That is a waste of...

    Is anyone not using Windows to record on a PC?

    Gentoo 2.6.11-r7 64bit. Audio apps in 64bit are a bit of a problem right now. Only one I get running the way I like is Mhwaveedit. It is enough right now. Once I go back to multitracking I'm confident Ardour will compile.

    pci express?

    Don't know about dsp cards except creamware pulsar. That is the worst card to have on a pci bus. It can bring your pci bus down faster than anything else. As for 24 channels... even if you count 24 in and out, that makes 48channels x 4bytes x 96000samples/sec=18.432.000 bytes/sec. That won't be...

    pci express?

    Yes, a 1x pci-e is faster than a standard pci. A single pci-e lane is 2.5Gbps (about 250MBps) dedicated while a pci is 130MBps shared between the whole bus. If you can find pci-e firewire cards...
