    lightpipe = 8 channels = 8 tracks?

    M-Audio 1814 = 8 analog in, 8 adat in, 2 spdif in - all descrete, hence the "18". The 14 = 4 analog out, 8 adat out, 2 spdif all descrete. Most interfaces with adat offer an additonal 8 descrete i/o.

    A little help... lows and boxiness check

    My ears are tired. Looking for opinion on the low end (too much, too little) and whether or not there's a boxiness to the overall sound. What about the area around 4k? Too hot? The KRKs sound right. The laptop speakers crack on the highs, the boombox sounds boxy...

    RME HDSP9654 and Yamaha 01V96 V2

    What analog board? A low end Allen and Heath is one that comes to mind but the new Yammy digital boards sound pretty good. I don't know if I would say much better. What other ones come to mind Giganova? I think the better question is what is the mixer doing for you? Headphone mix? Mixing out...

    Anyone using M-Audio Delta TDIF?

    The M-Audio TDIF was an audio card designed to interface with tascam equipment. It has not been made or sold for quite some time.

    Gain Structure Thread

    I would think that a discussion on gain structure would start with the signal chain being calibrated correctly. dBu, VU, dbFS etc... I would check out this thread... http://recforums.prosoundweb.com/index.php/m/50382/0

    I need help getting a "wider" mix!

    Also.. a couple things... you're looking at two mixes. How do they sound? Whats your monitoring situation? Can you correctly hear a stereo spread?, depth?

    I need help getting a "wider" mix!

    Hehe.. thats what I was going to say. The only time I find that I use the Waves S1 is a small amount on a verb send, often to narrow the verb's spread during the verse then go wider on the chorus... never on a full mix.

    PICS! 1/2 WAY UNTIL THE ROOM IS DONE Everyone please help me out (final suggestions)

    You get what you pay for. Don't scrimp on room acoustics. I would rather get cheap monitors and mics and pay for the right stuff to treat my room.

    Setting up a Yamaha 01v as a DAW control surface for Cubase SX3

    No.. no.. not VST pages with the memory... lol.. when you are in remote control mode.. the memory button controls which layer you are on. Memory page 1 = layer one = faders 1 though 16. If you want to control 17 through 32 then Memory page 2 needs to be active. What I suggested was checking to...

    Panning for acoustic performance

    On some stuff I have panned the strummed acoustic left to about 2:00. I buss the signal pre fader to the right to a 30ms delay which is panned right about 2:00. Both signals go to a group fader and get a small amount of room verb. Gives a nice even spacious sound and allows the vocals to sit...

    unpleasant high end in vocals

    I am willing to bet that those links which state that the vocal range is "300Hz to 3500Hz" are taking their info from Bell Labs white papers regarding the filtering required on both analog and digital trunks for the spoken vocal range. I am a telecom engineer during the day and I will have to...

    Mixing with Headphones

    Wow... do your neighbors complain about the TV volume? Or the "bedroom-noises" ;) as well? I would think that monitoring on referrence monitors no louder than the TV would be better than trying to mix on cans. Use the cans for the details like verb tails and positioning. If the cranky neighbors...

    Bass traps, clouds and fire/building codes

    I have been looking at several different basement studio builds. In some studios the owner has used OC13 and 703 stuffed inbetween floor/ceiling joists and then covered the ceiling with some type of fabric (dead ceiling, live floor). I've also seen some studios using traps on the backwalls...
