I agree 100% with MassiveMaster. Well, almost 100%, I do think that even a compressor like the 266 will have a coloration and dynamics action not attainable with a plugin. It depends on the tone you want, of course. But yes, first set your levels so that you are not overdriving your input...

The more RAM the better, load it up to the max if you can afford to. Also, an external firewire hard drive at 7200rpm will be better for audio work than the internal 5400rpm drive. Also, 250 megs is really not a lot for audio work. I'd suggest a 500 gig external at the least, if you can swing a...

Just to chime in with a personal experience: I had an album that received quite a bit of airplay on independent stations. In at least one case the station would also stream the broadcast on the internet, and allow for it to be played back later as well. My album was *not* mastered in the sense...

Mark, what GC store do you work at? You are the kind of sales rep I like to deal with.

Some good detailed responses, so I'll just say what I have to say very simply: A great mic sounds great no matter what medium it is being recorded to. If anything, the very quiet digital recording medium should allow you to hear the quality of the mic even more. Where that changes is if you...

I'm not a mastering engineer, but what you are probably looking for when you say "mastering" a is a bit of smoothing out and controlling of levels. If your mixes are already sounding good and are balanced out well, then that's most likely all you'll need. So the kind of plugin I would suggest...

If they are in the right folder Garageband should just recognize them.

So now you have two good reverb focused units other than the Rumour: the Yamaha REV500 (great suggestion) and the Alesis Wedge. Another unit that might interest you is the TC Electronic M-One or M-One XL. I think the XL version sounds better, but either is an excellent budget reverb oriented...

More important than our opinions is what you intend to use the compressor for. That should be the determining factor.

The Alesis Wedge might fit the bill well. A very easy unit to use, great user interface. It's a table top unit though, not rack. Otherwise, I too would suggest the Kurzweil Rumour.

First of all, what you are talking about would be very very expensive. It might very well exist, but again it will be mind-numbingly expensive. Especially remote controlled through a computer based GUI. As Mike suggested, you'd probably be better of figuring this out using level switching...

I'm really not sure what your complaint is. You *accepted* both those items from the Guitar Center salesperson. In both cases you needn't have accepted them. All you had to say was "is this brand new factory sealed?". Then if they tell you it is, you open up the package and point out that it is...

Perhaps a MOTU Traveler or 8PRE would work for you. I own a traveler and it is a nice interface. Also, check out the Echo Audio line of firewire interfaces. I have the Audiofire2 and it sounds very good.

I think once you learn how to get around in PT 7.4 you are going to like it a lot better. It's a great version of the program in my opinion.

If you don't want to split the signal you should probably just use "non-normalled" which is what they refer to as "isolated". It's a straight through signal from rear to front of the patchbay. It means you need to make every connection at the front of the patchbay. But that's not a bad thing...

Hello again, I misread the first post. I thought it said the keyboard did *not* have midi I/O. Since it does indeed have midi, you simply need a midi interface or an audio interface with midi built in. You'd connect the keyboard to that to control your software instruments. The midi...

When buying a drive for recording or audio playback it's bet to use firewire in my opinion. There are a lot of drives that come in enclosures that have double or triple interfaces, i.e. firewire 800, 400, and USB. Those are the best to have because you can use them in a lot of different...

I've been using the MOTU audio interfaces for years with minimal problems. You need to realize how old that PCI card is. Early to midi 90's maybe? It's not MOTU's fault that it doesn't work with computer systems that didn't exist when the card was designed and built. The really *great* thing...

Also, you can pretty easily tell which studio is the original by the fact that Turtle lists their clients, has pictures of their actual gear, and also has a picture of their mastering engineer and a few words from him. The other site has none of that. Which probably means it is a guy with some...

I agree with Massive. Because mastering is a combination of skill and equipment, using photos of another mastering studio and passing it off as your own is fraud. It is a complete misrepresentation of ones' capabilities, aimed at profiteering from the inexperience or gullibility of your...
