Go Computer Hey Uladine If you are a keyboard player and/or intend to use midi, what you suggested will not be of any use to you in that area. I was in the market for a home recording set up, and resisted the computer route because I did not want to fuss with computer components. After a year...

MAC Sites Blake Here are some sites where you can buy new and used MACs: http://www.powermax.com/ That's where I bought mine: They sell new and used. New MACs only: http://www.outpost.com/ http://www2.warehouse.com/default.asp?home=mac http://www.macconnection.com/...

I am learning to live with the acoustics of my room for now. There's a spot in the center of the room where there is a lot more bass present. I also realized that I like a lot of low end in my mixes. I boost every album on the high and low end typically for my listening. So, I was mixing...

Huh? Hey Spinsterwun, you're absolutely correct!! Lots of good people with great information and experience. Albert

Sonnix Problem is, I haven't the slightest clue what you're telling me. Sorry for my ignorance, but that's where I am in life!! Hate to impose on you but, how 'bout some "do this: _____ " or "you can do that ________" kind of advice? If not, thanks anyway for your posts. Albert

Sonixx Here are the room dimensions: Height: 9' Length: 12' 2'' Width: 10' 2'' Here is how the room is set up: _____________________________________________ -----------------------C O U C H-------------------M C H--------------------------------------------------------------------R...

Room Dimensions Sonixx The room is essentially 10 by 12 or so. It is carpeted with a window and has a couch and chair in it and my set up, and the walls are essentially bare. . . Pretty crowded!!! Are you saying that what I should be concerned about is setting up bass traps? Also, what...

REVERSE WIRES? What am I missing here? I have bi-amplified Events PS-8's. What wires are there to reverse? I would understand that if I had passive monitors but mine are active. . . No, my car has no subwoofer or any kind of bass enhancing stuff in it. Actually, the reason why I know I...

Thank you all for your input . . . Hey Sonixx, I coudn't access the website you posted, it said it was under construction. I did however find ETF at this website which seems to have some really interesting and technical stuff: http://www.wssh.net/~wattsup/audio/ I will download ETF later and...

Bruce Thanks for the advice. I have listened to many commercial CD's and frankly they sound rather thin on the PS8's. Maybe that's the sound I should be shooting for. But, that seems like a weird (and counter intuitive)goal to have. I will experiment with monitor placement. As far as...

Hello all Here is the problem. I mix my thirty track song in my little home studio to the levels I like, and then I go to listen to it in the car, and WOW >:) WAY TOO MUCH BASS. I had to go back to my rig and shave off 7db's off my bass track to make it sound ok in the car . . . The problem...

Help!! Which one goes first on the Master fader? The Compressor then the limiter, or Vice Versa? I am simply trying to make sure nothing in my song starts clipping while trying to get a decent gain on my overall mix. I am also trying to make my mix somewhat uniform, while allowing it to...

Here's one that I am sure has been debated ad infinitum! But I'll ask anyway! Is there a way/secret to making stark digital recordings get that warmth that analog tape naturally provides? I have read many articles about how that's just the way it is with DAW's. Tough noogies kind of...

Re: Another Question I opted for a second internal hard drive instead of the firewire hard drive for two reasons: They run at 7200 rpm, which is better for audio and they're much cheaper. I think you should go with a 7200 rpm speed anyway, and I am not sure what the firewire port specs are...

The MOTU 828 is a great set up. Since it is a fire wire I/O box, you should check it out thoroughly because it is relatively new technology. So far as I know it is the only firewire box out there. The DIGI 001 has many limitations that I would stay away from, but that will depend on your...

Upgrade path for the DIGI 001 = Lots of CASH ;) See: http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/Forum17/HTML/000550.html http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/Forum2/HTML/000409.html

Jim S If you are interested in having Digital Performer demo'd you can e-mail MOTU's customer support people and they will hook you up with a reseller that has it set up for a demo in your area. They hooked me up with a dealer in San Diego, but my local GC guy used it personally so he could...

Jim S I was in the same spot (almost) about six months ago. I first decided which platform to use. Although I had always used a PC for everything, when it came to music, it seemed clear to me that I did not want to spend time working out computer bugs and conflicts but rather to record music...

Of the choices you mention, there is no real competition. Go with Protools on a MAC Platform. That's the platform the software was written for. Forget Cakewalk or any other similarly situated program. I would still suggest you look into a MOTU I/O box with Digital Performer (They only do...
