FMR Audio Products - RNP "Really Nice Preamp" http://www.fmraudio.com/

John makes some great suggestions here - and I say that somewhat tentatively as I own a TrakMaster myself. I think the TrakMaster's preamp is great: clean and the HPF and compressor can be useful in plenty of instances. However the eq circuit is marginal at best. Lately, I find myself using...

It's fine to install on two different machines (provided you own both of them, of course), but Apple has a built-in protection mechanism that prevents you from operating Logic on both machines at the same time. I do exactly this. I have Logic on my main Mac in the studio, but also have it...

Sort of. Both XLR3 and 1/4" TRS carry the same type of balanced signal: hot, cold, and ground. When phantom is used, it typically runs on the ground pin (pin 1) of an XLR3 cable. Believe it or not, there are devices out there that run phantom power on the ground line of a TRS cable. In...

Yes. "ADAT" ports are just 8-channel lightpipe connections. They can accept either 2- or 8-channel signals.

Bummer. :( In the effort of eliminating one variable at a time, I would attempt to reset the ASIO settings and/or run a reinstall of Logic to get back to where you started. Then step back through the process to trigger your drum machine one piece at a time so that you can determine at what...

Sounds as though it must be. Dumb question, but did you check the MIDI output from the DAW / Logic to see if changing the ASIO settings also re-routed the metronome output to an external MIDI channel vs. the internal click?

I like this approach. It sounds like you're looking at a Firepod and haven't purchased one yet. Try checking out the Tascam FW-1804 and adding an 8-channel preamp with an ADAT connection (such as a Behringer ADA8000 or similar). With 4 pre's on the Tascam, plus 8 by ADAT, you'd be in business...

If you're looking at the Alpha, I would advise you to look elsewhere. Run a quick search of the forum here, and you'll find a lot of feedback citing problems with stability and cheap parts. In that price range, the Tascam US-122 is a good alternative - much better quality and fewer issues...

If one used a mono track for the Aux buss, that would be correct. However, Logic defaults the Aux buss to a stereo channel strip, so - at least in theory - the pan of the "send" track could control the pan of the final Aux output, and this could be independent on each "send" track. I don't...

Sorry; I was very vague there. I was trying to imply that the amp sim settings would have to be the same for all the guitar tracks being sent. Baker's exactly right, though - You could still apply other plugins to the individual guitar tracks; they'd just all get the same amp sim settings.

AB, You want to create a buss. Each of the tracks that you want to receive the effect would get sent to this buss, and the buss would use the amp simulator as one master plugin, instead of using the plugin on each individual track. Here's how to do it: 1. First, open the mixer view in Logic...

There's an IF-TAD on Ebay UK right now for GBP 70: http://cgi.ebay.com/TASCAM-IF-TAD-DIGITAL-FORMAT-CONVERTER-WITH-CABLES_W0QQitemZ160332507066QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_3?hash=item25548fe7ba&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177

Sounds like either that effect was achieved through real vintage gear, or a multitude of computer plugins. I'm guessing old gear. On a 424, you might just overdrive the inputs a little, then bounce the tracks back and forth until the sound degrades. I'm not trying to be a smart-arse; on an...

Agreed. He's been registered all of a week, and his previous 16 auctions have nothing to do with Shure products. Might be a counterfeit scam; might be a "fell off the truck" special. :mad: Either way, I wouldn't want anything to do with him.

:D I think he might have been referring to the Digidesign 888's. layneness, There's a couple of ways the Apogee units interface with your computer. Units like the Rosetta are just straight AD/DA converters. Referencing John's example, they're the "A-D Converter" that sits between the mic...

Late to the party here, but I do own a TrakMaster Pro (new version) that I use from time to time for VO. I like the Focusrite preamp circuit. When I use this for tracking now, I typically switch off every option except for the low-cut filter and occasionally, the compressor. I did use the...

StrangeDogs, That's a nice resource of freebies. If you have not done so already, would you add that to the Free Software Thread?

On the Mac platform, 2GHz is plenty of speed. The key is, as you have already considered, upgrading the RAM beyond the stock 1GB. I use Logic 8 on a Mac Mini - 1.83GHz, 2GB RAM - zero issues whatsoever.

Well, think about what sort of sound is going into it and what the response will actually sound like. Technically speaking, 20Htz-20kHtz is a wider range than 50Htz-20kHtz, but unless you sound like Barry White or Don LaFontaine, I doubt you're getting down to that end of the spectrum. In...
