(this subject came out of the BUILDING A NEW DAW: What to buy and better yet, what questions to ask? thread, but i decided to give it it's own place) Here's some pictures of my homemade pc ISO box. It's made out of - 9mm (1/3") MDF. It was a 120x240mm (4'x8') sheet, cut for me at the home...

Oh, yes you can! It's like with channel strips: if you record one or two microphone tracks you won't hear much difference between different A/D-convertors, but you will hear the difference once you recorded +16 tracks with the same microphone preamp or A/D-convertor.. Let's say a good A/D and...

About overclocking: don't. I did it a while and it made my system very unstable. Then again, I don't game anymore, so my need for speed is restricted to audio only. If anyone's interested I could post some pictures of my ISO box, but really, there's nothing to it. Herwig

Yep... The design (I'm not worthy calling it a design, but anyway.. :rolleyes: ;) ) is fairly simple: originally it was an MDF box with a door in front and a hole in the back for the cables, lined with 1" foam on the inside. Problem #1: when I powered the computers, heat went up to about 75°C...

You always need to buy more gear, because you're a gearslut... admit it it, you only want MORE shiny lights, MORE knobs to turn, MORE computers to configure, MORE microphones to use... MORE MORE Herwig :cool: :p :D

wow...long post... ok, here's my view: Motherboards: Everybody used to say to avoid Via like the plague... I bought my last DAW last year, based around a Via KT266a, and I built two more for friends, both based around the KT333. If you do your homework regarding relation soundcard-chipset...

Recent test have proven that you can prove anything with tests Herwig :eek: :rolleyes: :confused:

Yo Tex, quick question: what do you do with the Ghost having the phantom power switches at the back ?? Do you leave some channels switched on and some off, or what ? (Ghost is looking very appealing, but that's the one drawback I could find, unless I go and move all phantom power switches and...

Hey, it was released when all cards had +20ms latencies... those days sales depended on how low you could go... nowadays virtually all cards have near-0ms (at *least* <10ms) Like I said: it had its purposes, but its glory days are long gone. Herwig

Use an acoustic instrument (I did it with an upright bass) and put it in front of a drumset. Record the piezo's output whil the drummer's playing. Instant cool lo-fi sound :p Herwig (500th post!)

Sure it can be done... you're hearing these new tunes using all of those old disco vocal tracks on the radio all day ?? If THEY can do it, so should we!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Herwig

IMO it could make a difference between running 50 audio tracks and 52... I think it's mostly voodoo that surrounds the 8Mb harddisks. Herwig

Yeah...it's a great feeling... Would any one know of a DIY kit to convert my Genelecs into car speakers so I can listen to them on the road ? :D :rolleyes: Herwig

I've worked with an MX9000 (or 8000, don't remember, they're the same) a few years ago. About half of the PAN controls did not have a centre detent (or what's the word... you know, a little 'stop' at 12 o'clock). The board has many great functions and possibilities but sounds kind of thin and...

troubleshooting for days... Ultimate DAW: Radar 24 with s-Nyquist I/O. This is a DAW, running BeOS, but idiotproof configured and sounds like the best. Add a meterbridge, session controller, 24 top-pre's and a mixing table with moving faders and I'm in. (add a medium PC with digital I/O for...

what therage! says... about your input problem... could it be that you're creating a feedback loop ?? (meaning: PC out -> mixer in / mixer out -> PC in and the PC is echoing what's coming in to the PC out???? ) If so, try putting the PC out on a stereo channel of the mixer and mute it while...

try to stay away from the ISIS... it is going for about 50$ on eBay last time I checked... it's only compatible up to Windows 98SE, won't work under W2000 or XP, it's 16bit, 48k, has a horrible latency of about a gazillion ms (70-something). Positive side: at the time of it's release it was the...

Try to search the web for how the dB scale works... it's not a linear scale, it is logaritmic.. Herwig
