    Which version?

    I like your voice man, it sounds like the guy from the Meat Puppets...technically weak, but I feel like it has some character to it. I want to hear the new vocals one too and compare.

    Asking for constructive criticism! (obviously)

    Thanks for the comments...the thing is, I feel like the recording aspect of these things comes much more naturally than the songwriting part. So the way I record is that these half-finished type of songs are just vehicles for me to practice the production aspect of things. I DO understand that...

    Asking for constructive criticism! (obviously)

    oh man now you've peaked my interest, I guess I want to know what you wanted to say about the song is...but I do feel like I understand alot about what is wrong with the arrangement. I guess when I was doing the recording, I was thinking more about the recording than the song, as of yet, I have...

    Asking for constructive criticism! (obviously)

    Okay so I am a high school senior, and I've been very much into recording for a few years now, I feel like this song is the best thing I have accomplished as of yet...I play everything on it and I'm pretty proud but I want to know what sounds wrong to more experienced ears. As far as equipment...

    Ah has anyone EVER had this problem before?! Tech support is closed on weekends and I'm bugging out here!

    896 troubles...

    No, that'll be my next step but I don't think it will solve the issue of the actual hardware seeming to have problems. Anyways, I have to step out now for a bit but I totally appreciate the help you've given me, thanks alot for the help, my next step is to try my luck with tech support.....

    896 troubles...

    I don't think it's incompatible, only because it worked for about a week and a half perfectly well before it started malfunctioning. I also am pretty sure I'm not running the NEC chip :-\

    896 troubles...

    It's all of the lights, not just the sample rate ones. I'm using a PC (brand new, 2.8 GHZ, 1 gig of RAM, running XP Home, etc, etc...). I had it unplugged for troubleshooting purposes. Up until a couple of days ago, I would usually turn on my computer, turn on the MOTU, and plug it in and...

    896 troubles...

    Hi dwillis, thanks for the help there. I searched that board too and missed that post. Although it gave me a little insight on the problem, my problem is a little different. When I turn mine on, it just blinks, even if it's not plugged into the firewiire cable or the computer. Could it be...

    896 troubles...

    Hi, my MOTU 896 has recently been acting up pertaining to when I turn it on. I turn it on and the red, orange, and green lights (the ones that normally blink on the LED meters during startup) won't stop blinking and my computer refuses to recognize that the MOTU is plugged in. A few days ago, it...

    What console would fit what I need?

    I think the point is though (not to discourage you from buying good stuff necesarily) but the really good engineers have lots of experience and that's not something you can get enough of in a year, two years, five years, whatever. I'm still a newbie compared to alot of the guys here and I'm not...

    Question about monitoring chain?

    Question about monitoring chain?

    Questions about MOTU! First of all, I was wondering how to record 8 seperate tracks at a time in Cool Edit 2.0. The MOTU can do 8 at a time but how do I arm the tracks correctly? I'm having no trouble recording but i can only do left and right, not 1-8. Also, the motu I have is a MOTU 896...

    Terratec EWS88/MT?

    Why not just get a decent quality 1 or 2 channel pre and save up? You'll probably be happier in the long run. Or buy the Nady for 90 bucks and slowly replace it with better pres?
