I hit a nerve./.. intelligence does that alot! bb

Anybody here seen "Moneyball" [the Movie]? It's about a bunch of pious Baseball scouts [ie. pro sound engineers], who are confronted with a new 21st century, computerized, mathematical thinking about their organization's approach to team player drafting and analysis, and who are are bent on...

Hy bud; I went though the exact same scenario you are enduring. Built a studio, and had to move upon its' completion. I wish you happiness, and the strength to carry on. Blessing to you. Bill

By the way... what is truncate? Does that mean change sampling rate?

Thanks, Boulder... you seem sincere. I appreciate it. I agree with you on your assessment. I have been looking at the Beatles/Zeppelin files in T-racks, and have noticed they are NOT squashed. Can you tell me which compressors in Tracks 3 you would use. Also, I know what you are going to say...

I was answering the comment about my use of a Mac prior to DAW world.

There are 100 + songs. I started on an 8 track Tascam 38 reel [mid 80's] and then went to Cubase 5.1. I have finished most of the basic mixes, but want to have them mastered. I believe in DR. I hate how most modern music is squashed- not to mention very dull and uninteresting for the most part -...

I am a singer songwriter, who has spent the last 25 years recording my work on a Mac, in Cubase 5.1. I play music that is in the style of Beatles, Zeppelin, Etc., with many varying styles all interweaved. Here is my dilemma: I have gotten some decent mixes on my system, and have been trying to...

Thanks, Guys. One positive thing I will add... this baby sounds GREAT! The different lengths of the song don't really bother me [about 2 seconds shorter on the new transfers], but the pitch shift does. I am a piano tech... I'll just tune the transfers by ear, and as you said, "Tune the two...

I knew there was something amiss! LOL!

Heh heh heh! Look at this article that I found in an electronics tech guide... So I'm NOT crazy! LOL! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Article 4.18) Tape speed problems...

Thanks for the responses, guys!

The new transfers are sharp. I checked the pitch with a chromatic tuner I have, and the new transfers are sharp [a few cents]. The original recordings were done on a Tascam 38. I do not know where the 50 Hz - 60 Hz adjustment is... is it inside the unit? Thanks, bb

And for the record... the pull out pitch control knob was NOT engaged when I made the transfers.... the 38 was at normal speed. Thanks in advance, bb

Guys, I just baked some old half inch 8 track tapes in a food hydrator, and dumped the tracks down to my DAW, from my NEWLY BOUGHT Tascam 38 reel to reel deck. I transferred the material @ 24 bit [32 bit floating point in Cubase], at 96 KHz, from 15 IPS reels. I then dumped some old original...

Achilles last stand and for your life by zep

Hey... how good does the UAD-1 sound? I have been looking into buying one, since I am still using Cubase in OS 9, and the thing is really cheap on EBAY!

Hey guys... appreciate the info. I didn't necessarily believe what this guy said was "set in stone", but it was interesting [and I am a VERY open minded person about most things]. And... since you guys seem to be very knowledgable, I figured I would mention it. I tend to think that good music...

I'll do both, and then A/B the results! But first, I get to change three of the impossible to find 8 Volt 100 MA bulbs in the VU meters [I did finally find them]. Plus, I have read all of the articles on the web, but noone actually shows [with picture or video] how to ENTER the little plastic...

Thanks, Ghost. I figured the tape saturation was a key factor, but hey... at least this guy thought outside the box. Some of the greatest ideas were simple.
