Got Auto Tune, Native Insturments B4, Metric Halo Channel Strip and, got this Waldorf Attack drum plug in that I really like cause I can get the 80 and 909 sounds easily and, can layout drum tracks in the Digital Performer drum editor nicely. Realy easy to work with. Easy set-up helps keep...
Yeah 24/8
Some tried to talk me into a Yamaha O1V instead of the 24 - 8 bus but I declined. My opinion was, if I could not afford at least an 8 bus digital, I would go with the Mackie 24/8. Eventually, I could see upgrading to either the d8b or, if there is enough money around at the time, the...
Digital Performer
I am using Digital Performer. I think it is great. It not only does all the midi but it does all the audio as well. I am fairly new to the whole DAW scene. I had done quite a bit of professional recording about fifteen years ago then took a sabatical from the music scene...
Thanks guys. I think I saw something by one of you guys regarding HOSA cables. I have HOSA cables but this is mostly be default. Where I purchase my equipment, for the most part, it appears to me they stock only HOSA cables and to make a short story long, I purchased what was available out of...
Yes it does and that is what the recorder is plugged into. I get plenty of level though so I do not think there is any problem. Can I assume from your response that the main issue with respect to the balanced/unbalanced issue is level.
Fairchild
I just received some sort of catalogue in the mail that has a Fairchild compressor in it. The price, a mere $28,000.00. What in the name of heaven and earth could make an electronic device cost that much. Is it the parts. In other words, is there soething inherent in the manufacture...
I believe I have made an error. I bought an HHB CD burner model # 830. This does not have balanced inputs. The board I have has i believe balanced outputs for the 2 track master mixdown. How much am I losing by not having the balanced inputs on the HHB. Can I use an adapter of some sort to...
Enhancer
I am no expert but...I believe an enhancer is a device that either accentuates certain harmonics or even adds certain high harmonics that tend to get lost in the recording process. I have an Aphex 204 which has an aural exciter and something called "big bottom" (I've known some women...
Doesn't Anyone Use Digital Performer
Doesn't anyone use Digital Performer and if not, why? I see very little comment on that particular program and I get the feeling it is not that populr. I use it, I love the thing but... I have not used anything else except a Roland VS 890 so I have littel to...
I asked this in another area but that may not have been the right place for it. Anyway, I am using a Mackei 24-8 Mixer & MOTU 2408. I have two 24 channel stereo patch bays. How should this all be connected. do I use the channel inserts, if so, when and what for? How should I connect the patch...
Responding to some thoughts
Particularly, those thoughts of Reel Person. With respect to the idea that home stuidos are not for making money the point, I believe, is mixing apples and oranges. To me, my home studios is, at least the recording part of it, for working out ideas, developing...
What then is the 160S
I think I saw something about a 160S. Is that correct and if so, what is the difference between a 160S and a 160SL. Is one a later versoion of the other, earlier version, simultaneous versions of each other in alternate universes? What is the story? And.....What about the...
I see (or taste) or whatever
Yeah, I understand now why when I plugged a microphone directly into my Mackie, the sound was very clean, whereas, when I go through the dbx channel strip (model 376) there is so infinitely more aretifact, coloration and distortion. So, should I simply skip the...
500 not 200
I got the 200 and I am sorry I did. I thought I was saving a bit of money and would get much the same result as the 500. I believe I was worng and, frankly, I am dissapointed in the 200. I don't think it sucks (I'm no expert) but, better editing would be alot more usefull that...
This is something I have been wondering about
I have a Mackie 24/8 mixer which I use with a MTU 2408. For now, I have all 24 line ins coming from a patch bay into the mic/line inputs. I have, I guess these are called the sub outputs or something like that, but in any event, they are the outputs...
