    Please come here if you have good advice on what i should buy...

    Blue Bear noted: There is the HD24 24-track digital recorder... this is simply 24-tracks of hard-disk recorder -- no mixer, no pres nothing but recording... it has 2 hard-disk bays, and NO CD-burner. ________________________ Doh! Ignore that entire post of mine. Don't know what the heck I...

    Please come here if you have good advice on what i should buy...

    CYE, On your question about the Alesis 24 track. I'll keep this as simple as I can, not because I don't think you know much, but because you seem to be reaching an impasse with some of the folks on the board about this "8-track CD burner" thing and the best way to resolve an impasse is to...

    Please come here if you have good advice on what i should buy...

    In my earlier post, I listed the Digi 001 as what I would pick up. I should have qualified that. I have not used the Digi 001, or any other hardware/software/mic pre combination that would fit in the $800 price range. (I use Samplitude 2496 and an M-Audio Delta 1010, which meets my needs and...

    If it were me . . . Let's suppose I'm you. I'm just getting out of HS, and I want to seriously upgrade my recording system. In terms of resources, I have a new computer coming to me courtesy of my parents. I also have $1500 coming upon graduation. (I know you said maybe up to $6000, but...

    Hope I didn't mess up? Bought a computer

    Send an e-mail to the m-audio technical support folks. If you tell them your system specs, they are extremely helpful about giving compatibility information relating to their soundcards. The midiman cards are pretty particular about motherboards and processors; I don't recall them recommending...

    Free downlaodable drum software

    Fruity Loops has a free demo you can download. The demo does not let you save in the "fruity" format (so you can't come back and edit later), but I think it does let you export to a .WAV file.

    Followup to the Digi001? Digi002?

    The rumor I heard is that Microsoft is acquiring DigiDesign and that they will no longer develop or support Mac applications. (Or maybe that's the rumor I started . . . .)

    How do you know what you're talking about?

    Mostly, they just make it up. :D Seriously, there are quite a few people on these boards that have had a lot of exposure to a lot of equipment (through work, friends, trying stuff out from the store, etc.), even if they don't own everything. But you will also see some other folks express an...

    Do you really buy that expensive recording software?

    webstop, That's a good question. The basic answer is that when you buy the software, you enter into a contract, and the manufacturer cannot later condition your rights under that contract on whether you agree to new terms and conditions that were not previously negotiated. Here's an example to...

    The Great Professional Mastering Debate

    I should get an award too. Not because I guessed right --- although I did guess right, it was just because I had a 50/50 shot no matter which way I went. And not because I hit the nail on the head --- I didn't really say anything valuable. And not even because I said it in the fewest...

    The Great Professional Mastering Debate

    I think all of the differences people have identified (which I agree are significant differences) are more matters of personal preference than a matter of one being better than the other. While the majority of differences did not make me like one significantly more than the other, I really did...

    Hey flatrockrecordin & Heylow, could you guys help me out?

    Brad, Standard toilet flange diameter is 4". That should be plenty wide enough for your application, assuming your 14" tv is not made of lead. For comparison sake, my monitors are approx. 70 lbs each. My monitor stands are 33" high, supported by 31" of 4" diameter PVC. The PVC is mounted to...

    Do you really buy that expensive recording software?

    Heinz, you are absolutely correct --- there really can't be any debate that the law prohibits people from pirating this stuff, regardless of whether that law flows from the license agreement or elsewhere. Maybe somebody who has been more involved in pirating than I have can lend me some insight...

    Heinz wrote: "Heck, just pull out that dusty old card in the box called "license agreement". It says exactly what you can and can not do, period. And remember that dialogue box you clicked in a hurry while installing, the one that says "I understand and agree to..." (etc.)??? That was a...

    Do you really buy that expensive recording software?

    The best weapon against pirating is to charge a price that most people will consider to be reasonable and within what they are willing to pay. How often do you hear about people using cracked copies of n-track? Or Fruity Loops? I'm sure there are some, but the prices of these programs is so...

    The ULTIMATE Entry-Level Mic Pre Poll... :op

    I have the DMP3 and love it. I am going to have to spend a lot of $$ on better mics before this will be the weak link in my signal chain. At the risk of launching an "I hate Guitar Center" flame war, I suggest you go to GC and pick up a DMP3. You get 30 days to take it back and try something...

    Anybody ever build their own guitar?

    Guernica, I've built quite a few, and I have been very pleased with all of them except one that was a little too ambitious for my skill level at the time. Are you looking to build acoustic or electric? If acoustic, I'd strongly recommend going with a kit for your first one. Don't worry ---...

    Critique my first sonar recording

    Congrats on your first Sonar mix. This is my first review of somebody else's mix. Two firsts in one thread. In that spirit, I'll limit myself to one comment to avoid displaying too much ignorance. (Not that it isn't there, but I just don't feel a desire to display it excessively.) The...

    Apple today announced it has acquired Emagic

    CrimsonWarlock said: "I voiced my concerns before about Emagic buying Samplitude. I think it's not only Logic PC users that are going to be screwed." ______________________ Then Stipmo said: "So I guess this means no Samplitide 6.5 for PC users. Pity... I was really impressed with the 6.0...
