    HD Recorders v. Computer-based

    I faced the same dilema about a month ago. Since my computer is upstairs in the office and my studio is in the basement, I assumed that I was starting from scratch with a $3000.00 budget. One thing I've found is that 3K goes really quick. This is a great BBS and you're sure to get a myriad of...

    Drum throne height

    Good Question! The reason you're uncomfortable has to do with "balance". Most drummers just wonder what's wrong but never think that the culprit could be the throne height and many times it probably is. Well, there is no set height in inches, but there is a "correct" height. It all starts with...

    Fostex PS 3.1 Monitors

    I just traded mine in today. Having said that; it wasn't that I didn't like them, they just simply have thier limitations. At 5w per speaker they just aren't real loud. I found that if I was spending more than about 10-15 min. per mixing session, I was yearning for more volume. Mainly I wanted...

    Is it common for drummers to record to a click track?

    Yup, like they (all) said. Having the ability to play well to a click also gives you more opportunities as a drummer; sessions, etc. You'd be surprised how many (otherwise) "good" drummers can't do it well though. It also forces other members of the band to follow the time set by the timekeeper...

    Hows this?

    Just my opinion, but hey you asked. While the topic is interesting, relevant, and has quite a bit of truth to it, this particular set of words is probably best left as a poem. Here's why I think that: 1. It is full of complicated words (on 2 counts); the average listener won't know the meaning...

    VF16 finally seen and heard. IMPRESSIVE!

    FOR kmar: according to my best caluculations, you get about 960 total minutes of recording time (if you delete the demo song). Using 16 tracks @ 4 min. per song, you could store 15 songs on the hard drive. FOR mic98: Yea, should be a peace of cake (although I haven't tried it yet personally)...

    Philips CDR775 vs TASCAM CDRW700: with a catch!

    Dan, I was facing the exact same dilema, and it seems our purposes are similar, i.e. demos, rough cuts, not mastering in-house, etc. I took the plunge and ordered the 775 today ($339 total). Based on how I'm going to use it, I felt it was the way to go. Two of my friends (that own studios) told...

    VF16 panning/scene inquiry

    Yes, panning is done on the data wheel after pressing the "pan" button. Although not shown in the manual, it is possible to pan back & forth in real time during a bounce. Here's the trick; You have to record in BUSS mode to 2 tracks, panning one track hard L and the other hard R. Then when...

    Fostex VF-16

    Bill, That's a good question. The manual is pretty vague. As this is my THIRD attempt to post a reply to you, (the first two got deleted somehow) I will send you an e-mail with the three paragraphs of info so hopefully I won't have to type them a 4th time. Bottom line; It looks like the only way...

    Fostex VF-16

    Well, I'm kinda new at this but I just picked one up and I'm finding it very easy to use. I would highly recommend it. It will record 8 tracks simutaneously, (or 16 but you will get 2 each of the same thing) or 16 if connected to an ADAT. Export to WAV could be used to post a song on your...

    Fostex VF-16 User Review

    Well, I just picked mine up a few days ago and I'm lovin it so far. I'm on page 31 of the manual and so far-so good...until the Auto Punch In/Out. Has anyone figured that out yet? If so, please help. This is my first recording unit of any type so if I can figure it out and think it's easy to...
