I use Acid in my own personal music. From Drum loops (don't have a drummer up this way anymore) to strange noises.

What kind of computer are you running? Motherboard, CPU & Speed, RAM...

Have you thought of adding a patch bay to your rack? I have found that flexability is the key to being effecient. I TOTALLY agree with Blue Bear. The less in the signal chain, the better. By using a patch bay, you can use it for any channel in any sequence, and you can eliminate anything in the...

How ironic is that... :D

:D That's pretty cheap! An upgrade from there would be to get these: http://www.zzounds.com/a--2676837/item--MIDRR8 Watch out with these though, you may wanna get a tap to clean the threads... They're cheap though. To get any better than that you would want to get some plywood and make a box to...

I'm not seeing anything below "Compressor release signal" Are you seeing the same thing or am I just on crack?

Does it sound good through the monitors coming directly from your Fostex? If it sounds good coming through your monitors )not through headphones as they seem to intensify the stereo image) then I'd say you may have a shorted cable or something.

Um... I don't think the whole jpeg made it up there...

I have to say, RADIO SHACK HAS GOT TO GO!!! I purchased an Oktava MK319 mic and an Event preamp to start off with for vocals. I believe Musicians Friend has that mic on sale now for about $100, and you would NOT believe the difference you will hear when you make the jump. What are you looking to...

That is a good approach for maximizing what you have, but it is not a catch-all for mix problems. I still hold VERY strong to the belief that the more accurate the monitor, the better the mix. Let's not forget that all of the pro CDs that you listen to have already been mastered which is...

Vic 20?

Were those IDE or USB?

If you get an external one, I wouldn't waste your time and money to have a tech install it. All you have to do is plug it in and pop in a disc and you're practically done. I don't think you are going to find one for $50 though. The cheapest one I found was a Western Digital for $99.99 after...

:D Sorry about that, I was trying to think of a way to relate time and signal level. I'll try to explain it though... With an attack of 5 ms, your signal is going to be un-compressed for that 5 milliseconds, and then the compressor will begin gain reduction by whatever the ratio is set at, so...

:D I saw the way he spelled it and put that together with the fact that I have done computers for a living for who knows how long... You know...

Here's basically how a compressor works. Your threshold is at what level in reference to the input signal that the compressor is going to start compressing. Your attack is how fast the compressor will react to any signal going past the threshold level, your ratio is a rate of how much gain...

All you want to do is get a mix off, right? All you need from there is an audio recorder like GoldWave. http://www.goldwave.com/ You can get a trial version there. It's fully functional, but it only lets you execute a certain number of commands before you have to save your work and quit and...

The site said you could not use ProTools LE without the 001 card being plugged in.. I woder if you could get an 828, keep the 001 card in and record through both the 828 and the 001? Hmmm... That way I could use whatever program I feel like using for me and if a client comes in I could say...

Question Answered! :D Thanks! Now maybe I don't have to sell it... I'd still like a MOTU 828mkII though... :)

I have been reading through their whole site and not once did it mention recording WITHOUT ProTools, so I just shipped off an e-mail to them to ask for sure. I know they say that you can't use ProTools without the Digi hardware plugged in. I'll let you all know once they e-mail me back.
