Im going to pick up where I think recording engineer above was going with his line of questioning.1/8"directly to the sound card I would avoid.What kind of mixer are you using.The pre-amps in the mixer may not be very good.Are your input and output levels high enough.Where are you recording your...

Sorry about the double post guys. The site locked up on me.

Visit MOTU .com. Ive been using MOTU products for a couple of years and Im very satisfied.Ive been flying tracks in to the computer, editing them, doing what ever I want to them, and flying them back to the ADATS in the precise location the they came from. This is all thanks to the Digital time...

I agree with drstawl.Save the tracks on your hard drive until you are ready to burn.I wouldnt use the CDRW.Heck, CD's are so cheap, you can burn one or two songs pretty cheap anyway if you have to hear it on CD right now.Waste a cd or wait and save a couple of bucks. No biggie either way. Bill/...

You may want to check your virtual memory settings. I'm not sure what I have mine set at because Im not at the studio, but I'll reply again later. If you cant wait, right click my computer, click performance, and virtual memory.Click to specify your own settings and Call 1-888-CAKEWALK. They...

Mackie is'nt the most sturdy console especially the meter bridge, but as far as sound quality for the money, its a good deal.Its a very clean sounding board if you use the boards pre-amps.Although we prefer to use external pre-amps direct to tape when taking tracks down and only using the board...

Hey people, Maybe I was a bit misleading. I did get a very good deal on the MPA.It was from a dealer we use frequently.its still worth buying though. I like it. Bill /LM

Thanks for the reply. Im going to read up on the Fletcher/Munson theory. Were using DRS reference monitors with a Crown power amp.I think theres about five feet between the monitors and the same for each to the monitors forming an equal triangle. The room is 10'x 12'.The walls are carpeted and...

Sorry, I totally misunderstood the note at the tail of your post. Bill

If you're planning on recording voice or vocals, I would recommend some kind of large diaphram Mic, Although the cheaper mikes will work .As far as static, there should'nt be any. And as far as noise,any noise quieter than the vocal you can simply apply a noise gate to the vocal, setting the...

Can you be more specific about all of the equipment you are using. How much out of sync are you?what is your exact proceedure in taking your tracks down.I'll try to help if I can. Bill

If there is anything silly about this post, please specify WHAT IS SILLY.Your difference in opinion may help everyone to be guided in the right direction with this issue. Bill

Those are all good selections. I wanted to add some info about the Mackie or any other 24 ch. 8 bus boards.Say you have 16 tracks of audio.With a sixteen channel board, you are limited to either inserting your effects processors directly or into a bus.At this point you have no control over the...

WOULD BE GLAD TO HELP YOU GET STARTED.WHAT KIND OF MONEY DO YOU HAVE TO SPEND, AND HOW ARE THE INPUTS OF YOUR SOUND CARD CONFIGURED.AND DO YOU WANT TO MIX IN THE COMPUTER OR EXTERNAL.I COULD POINT YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION IF I KNEW THESE THINGS. BILL SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS

No, You can mixdown analog and use the analog XLR inputs on the back of the DAT. It will do fine. A to D converters are nice to have but not necessary.As you get more involved you may want to purchase an a/d but they are very expensive for a descent one anyway.I dont know what the specs are...

I forgot to say that there is a sync hookup from the time piece, to the first machine, from the first machine to the second, and from the second to the sound card(PCI).

OK, Something has to keep you recorders in sync whether it be the BRC or somekind of time piece.You need somekind of midi interface that plugs into the parallel port on your PC.This will allow you to send MMC (Midi Machine Control)form your software to the midi interface which the tells the BRC...

Engineers have been getting good, strong mixes for decades with anolog gear that costs thousands of dollars if not 10's of thousands. You cant expect that out of 300.00 worth of software.

OK, From what we've experimented with here, you can't get the same level out of cakewalk that you can get out using the TC Elecronics Finalizer or something similar.Why it doesn't it compare, I dont know. Ticks me off. We tried normalizing with cakewalk and it just didn't sound as good as...
