I see what you are trying to do dude. I had many a rapper bring in a disc of beats that were all panned center, and I had to fit vocals into it since he already bounced that mix and erased his beat session. Why don't you upload some stuff and let me hear it? I can give you some direction in...

Yeah, don't listen to him. That is a decent card. If it is working, and you and your clients like the way it sounds, then there is no reason to dis it. Did he show you anything he has recorded? I would be interessted to hear what he has to offer.

Mic the room with 8 mics? That maybe a little excessive. The best way to get a good live sound is to do a simple X Y stereo recording. You only need two mics for that. I have never used more than four, but I opt for two. As far as mics go, I would look into getting a matched stereo pair. They...

I don't think there is a health law related to this. If that were the case, every single club I have played in for the past ten years is breaking this so called law. Also, my studio is too since I use the same vocal mics on many different musicians. And any studio for that matter. Do think that...

Only because I used to work in IT Security, and people would bring a load of problems to me. And say things like "I thought Macs were protected from this stuff." I have never been the victim of a Russian Hacker Gang. But I have had many attempts. I log all incoming and outgoing traffic on both...

I have always used a Mac for my audio applications. Since 1997. I don't think that viruses, adware, spyware needs to be discussed here, because: A) You should always be behind a firewall and B) Your DAW should not be an internet computer. Saying things like "no trojan horses/viruses on...

Ha, thanks RAK. That really laid it out for me. I agree. Stereo is boring. Why don't you make a new post for me to RIP apart, RAK?

DIK - Can you explain to me the point of your numerical representation of a CD? Do I have to calculate something to have stereo?

dude. Tell us what software you are using. All you want to do is bounce your session to a disk, correct? A stereo mix to burn to cd, right? When you export something from software, you can normally choose if it's stereo interleaved or multiple mono files. RAG already pointed this out. Is that...

I think a compressor or a gate of some sort might be a nice edition to your rack. Whether you "need" it or not is up to you I suppose. But the more routes you have, the more chance you have to make new orginal sounds with different combinations.

that thing is bad ass. nice work, dude.

I was born with two shafts.

That is why I said it is fun to play with the sound. Obviously, this will create a sound that is not natural, but some of the best recordings of all time are not natural sounding at all. That is why they are cool. I mentioned if he wanted stereo, he would need two mics or two takes. This is not...

This can actually be a pretty cool effect. I have taken a mono guitar track, duplicated it, inverted one of the tracks, and then panned them hard left/right. Then I play around with EQ and delays to create a different kind of sound. It is not true stereo in the definition you are looking for...

things seem to be heating up in this thread. i want to see RAK and sweetnubs go head-to-head.

Windows audio? Do you mean like media player? I am not sure if this is the case here, but I used to have a G4 tower in my studio, when the wireless card was enabled and I was playing back audio through iTunes to my Digi002, there was some kind of strange sound that would come through the...

Generally, the buffer size is set in the audio recording software. At least it is in Pro Tools. You can usually find some sort of hardware setup tab that allows you to increase and decrease that. Also, you want to make sure you remember where it is, because when you track you want it set as low...

I am not sure what the risk associated with doing that is, but I do know that in my studio classes at university I learned to shut everything off before shutting down the power conditioner. It seems like it may be you are stuck with doing that..which does kinda suck I can imagine. Maybe call...

Are you looking for a specific type of software? Apple or PC user? If you want Pro Tools, the mBox2 is good place to start. If you don't care about software, M-Audio has some decent things, but I personally like the Presonus line of gear. They have great pre-amps for the price, and I haven't had...

I second that. Increasing the buffer size will totally help with this. There is never too much RAM.
