    How Much ram is everyone using?

    Sales trick. They say their 1,8Ghz performs like an intel 2,5Ghz so they call it the 2,5Ghz+ cpu, otherwise people think it's a slow cpu (compared to intel) ...

    Allen & Heath or Soundcraft Ghost or??

    I have a 32ch non-midi board, bought 2nd hand for €2,400 in perfect condition. I'm coming from a €240 board (don't mention the B-word ... :rolleyes: ) into a €2,400 board... my guess is if I ever wanna improve the mixing desk it's gonna be x10 again :eek: :eek: :eek: (lot's of other stuff to...

    Quick MOTU/PCI324 Question

    Yep, you seem unclear ;) AFAIK the 324 is outdated by the 424. And to my knowledge it's jusy a 'vehicle' card, meant to get signal in and out of the computer, just add any breakout box you want (up to four !!! niiiiice) and it should take care of some form of monitor (cue) mixing for you (not...

    Post your Wordclock setup

    - 3 ST Audio DSP2000's (which have each a S/PDIF optical, coax and AES/EBU in and out) - Mutec Smart Clock (8x WC out, 1x AES/EBU, 1x optical S/PDIF, 1x coax S/PDIF) Connecting a card to each of the non-WC out didn't work (both S/PDIF's seem to have trouble when used both at the same time) so...

    ISIS Maxi Studio

    They don't work on anything above Windows ME ... (NOT on Win2000, NOT on WinXP) ... chip/driver issue. Were great little cards (my first multi I/O) for the price (€400) but won't get you anywhere now. google around, there were a lot of compatibility issues (especially with AMD cpu's and...

    Sansamp Bass Drive DI

    Thumbs up for the SansAmp. I find the knobs a bit hard to keep under control in live situations (really small adjustments make huge diff in sound and it kinda sound hyped real quick, especially the lows) but in reamping or direct recording I luv it ! First overdrive that I like (as a bass...

    AMEK Pure Path Dual Mic-amp, Compressor-Limiter (DMCL)

    $3K ??? Over here €2099 (incl. 21%vat) .. Wonder what the opt. digit board would cost though. Been eyeing the unit myself. Would defintely be a step up and diff. flavour for my Ghosts' pre's and make a nice 2track mobile recording pre. Herwig

    Mixer vs. Mic preamp

    If your snare sounds good and your floor doesn't, maybe you should learn how to tune or improve technique ... .... Herwig ;)

    Pro Tools

    I don't get it. If you want to mix inside the box all you would need is about 8-10 inputs, not 24 i's and o's ... a 192 or 2408 or 828 from motu might be more what you need then. Herwig

    What about this?????

    2nd hand o2r's go for about 2k -2k5, the latter mostly with 8 or 16 ch of lightpipe included. Most w/out meterbridge. To add my 2 cents: I went for an analog board: no automation, but a sound I like much better than an o2r (worked on it) and most importantly: overview. I like to see everything...

    Pro Tools

    :rolleyes: :rolleyes: It's dangerours stepping into a PC vs. Mac or ProTools vs. "The World" discussions, but here I go: AMD Athlon XP2,600+, 2x 512Mb no-brand DDR ram (333), Asus A7n8X-X mobo (nForce2), 2 harddisks, Matrox G550, 3x ST Audio DSP2000 soundcard (10 I/O of which 8 analog per...

    Avalon U5

    It's no good. Sell it to me. I want a U5 but they cost about €600 (=*1.1=$660) over here in Europe... and that's just not fair :( Herwig

    do your ears ring 24-7?

    I've heard once that the ringing is actually sometimeng in your brain: your ear is damaged and thus doesn't hear some frequencies. Your brain wants to help you out and starts 'making' these frequencies.. they're not physically there, it's the mind... The story continues that Sting has had a...

    any cat tips??

    Mine (2) behave in the house, but I never let them in my working room when I'm not there... One of them is always looking a bit too interested at the woofers of my Genelec 1031's :eek: :eek: They have a nasty look sometimes though. Herwig

    do your ears ring 24-7?

    I'm 26 and I have had personalised plugs for about 4 years now. I don't use them enough (playing is weird while wearing them, though they kinda make my instrument -bass- clearer soehow) but I know I need them. Ears are for life. Herwig

    Computer keyboard problem

    Wireless: not really an option, I still have a keyboard to put somewhere. Been thinking about a trackball though, but I guess it take a lot of time to get used to it (decades of mousing around...) Extending the width with the system I found in the local home depot -type of store is not...

    Computer keyboard problem

    Hi guys I have a little ergonomic problem in my working room right now... I've bought a medium-sized mixing board that takes about all of the place I have on my 2.10m by 90cm desk. I still have some space left at the left side for the mouse (I'm a lefty) and I 'could' put the keyboard at the...
