Hey there, I think that you may get better advice if you let us know what you'll be recording. For example, will you be playing all instruments one at a time? Or will there be a band playing a bunch of things at once that you want to record? If you are recording just one thing at a time, you...

Yes, this is something that I've been thinking about alot lately too. There are now endless examples of records that are so "loud" that they audibly distort and are compressed to death. And not in a good or cool way. Morrissey's current album is the one that drives me crazy, it seems like it...

I'd entertain buying the blackface or the XT20...why don't you e-mail me with what you have in mind and number of hours.....

************************************* I think they probably have a case of brain distortion. People who play extremely loud in a small room are generally young or stupid, or both. ************************************* Ah, I remember those days......I had a Carvin combo amp that sounded like...

****************************** The irony here is that if he passed the signals between the ADAT and the DAW via the analog path, then you'd be right, he could do it in such a way where "what you hear is what you get" and the sync problems would disappear. I'm not recommending that he do all that...

I work for a software company, a very high-priced piece of software, and pure ethics aside, there are different ways to look at this. On one hand, if a person gets a hacked copy who would never buy a copy, than that isn't a lost sale for the company. The person was never going to buy it. On...

and note that I didn't listen to your mixes, I suck at mixing so I won't pretend to have good specific advice for you! Good luck.

Yeah, I've had this problem before. I think that lots of people that have home recording studios probably run into this. It sounds great while tracking when listening to head phones, then later....it doesn't sound so hot... Sad to say, I've had to scrap whole projects because of this. I...

I agree that recording distorted guitar is an art form. I typically play the other extreme, acoustic, and I find that extreme pretty hard too. What are you using to monitor your sound? You may want to play your current sound on as many speakers as you can to make sure you hate it. "Chimy"...

I've read many stories around here about ADAT problems...but...I bought an ADAT used on ebay for like ~$300, I think, XT with ~1200 hours. That's my main recording device. That was 3-4 years ago, and mine still works fine. My brand new computer, which I only use for audio editing, on the...

Hmmmm...yes, this is interesting. I think that I set up the WaveCenter card such that it is always the master clock. There was some thinking or reason for it when I did this ~2 years ago originally, but I can't remember what that was (someone I know probably recommended that I do this). In...

I haven't listened to any of the samples, but I vote for all the way left and all the way right. As a guitar player, there is nothing more fun than recording the same metal riff twice, hard panned right and left. That seems to create that great metal energy (and that's the best part about...

I've got a Tampa, but I've never heard a Brick. The Tampa is supposed to simulate tube behavior somehow, and it has a great sound, but it's still has a fairly neutral sound. The Brick is supposed to be all tube, I think, so that will have a fuzzier sound, I would guess. I love the Tampa for...

Be careful, you might be losing format on the hard drive. I'd back up all importatnt data that you have ASAP (if you can) and run a Scandisk or Norton Disk Doctor (or similar) on it. Hopefully you're not losing the drive or controller altogether. ************ Yeah, my CD writer software was...

I've never used the models that you listed, but I've got one of these: http://www.edirol.com/products/info/archive/ua1d.html It's not the hottest converter in the world, but it works fine. The only thing that I can compare it to is ADAT lightpipe, and this isn't as good or smooth, but it's in...

yes, I'm leaving sample rates the same. It's a much, much smaller difference than changing sample rate. I don't even notice any problems within the first 1-2 minutes of the song...but by minute 7, things are plain not together. So a slight drift in time code seems to make sense to me. but I...

previous posts are correct, I am using no central time clock, and I am not using the sync port in the ADAT. I suppose that I assumed that what you played was what you get...which, after reading your posts, I now realize was a bit silly since I'm shuffling data in digital form via lightpipie...

Ah, yes, that mysterious time code concept (which I don't understand). Thanks for the quick answers, this does indeed set me on the right track. There's plenty of reading around here on this concept...it's funny how I only learn things when I have a problem.... Wireneck, yes, I could record...

Do you really need the 4 channels? If you can get by with 2 and then get another 2 later, there are better options. You may be able to find a DMP3 on ebay for $100...that's the step up from an audiobuddy and lots of people around here say really good things about it. I have one, it's much...

your last post hits on the advantage of having separate software like Fruity Loops or Acid for drum loops. Acid lets you change the tempo, or have multiple loops (one fading in, different sections with different beats, etc). When you create a whole song in Acid with all of these things set up...
