    sorry - here's the real post

    So does that mean that normalization can be done "by hand" even though it would be a bit tedious over several tunes? The reason I ask is because I have a DPS 16 that does not have a "normalise" deal and I do not have any music software at all for the 'puter.

    minidisk compact disk

    OK! Got it! That would mean that the difference between how say, a Philips does it and how the burner I have attached to my DPS 16 is basically in how the burning device recieves the info...so the Philips is receiving it and converting it via its ad/da deal and then burning and my external is...

    minidisk compact disk

    So then my next question would be: Is there a difference (technically speaking) between what is referred to as "burning" vs. "writing" vs. "recording" a CD? And if CD's are "burned", how is a CD RW capable of being "re-burned" when you are using the same apparatus to "write"(had to say it!) on...

    minidisk compact disk

    Howdy, Can somebody tell me the difference, more or less technically, between minidisks and compact disks? Does one burn or reproduce differently than the other? What's the bit/hz difference? What's the capacity of a minidisk, anyway? D out ITNOJ

    Behinger now has competition: Phonic

    Novice recordists Amen on the comment about "deceived novices". I was about to suggest a Behringer mixer and some other stuff for a studio I'm going to be involved in until I got "educated" thanks to the posts on this board. I'm glad the folks didn't have the money "ready to spend" yet! It is...

    How much is "good enough"

    Hey Brian! Sorry, in this case the other cat was ausrock. I feel you on the particle board thing, the studio I was working in Saltillo had all the walls covered with particle board and it did real well at isolation. Speaking of which Mr. Sayers, thanks for the input! Fortunately, the studio is...

    How much is "good enough"

    Hey guys, I may be missing it, I may be too busy to read straight. I have read just about the whole (excellent) Sayers site on the stuff regarding studio construction and though I understand STC ratings, have checked the chart and all that, the only question I have is what kind of STC am I...

    Need Info QUICK!

    OK, Good news is, I had seen the Sayers site quite a while back and had already planned on trying to use one of the designs there.(one of the two garage studio constructions or the "center control room") I also had downloaded and printed and read just about all of the construction related stuff...

    Need Info QUICK!

    Hi! I live in Mexico. I work at a church. They want a studio. They neglected to consult me "with time" concerning the special construction needs. I've been concentrating more on the equipment research end lately and walked into the Administrato's office and saw a meeting with the architect and...

    DPS 16 ver 1.52

    Howdy! Does anyone have the 1.5 or 1.52 upgrades? Was anyone succesful in downloading it off the net and if so, is it true that no form of CD (internal or external) will work for that? And those of you who have been getting it on CD, how is the turn around time. AND....does anyone know when...

    Makin' it Hot on the DPS

    Hey DPS 16 users: I'm not getting the level on the CD's I'm burning off the DPS. My levels are reading like 80 to 90 percent with a few peaks. Are any of you using the DPS solo (ie without external pres, send and return of beefed up signal, etc) and getting good level on the CD's? If so, I'd...

    writing horn parts for songs...

    Shailat gave you the deal, if you need more.. for trumpet: on the piano go up one whole step (c to d, Bb to C, E to F#, etc.) to get your key signature, then just start writing your music one line or space above the origninal (if you're on the 3rd line originally, use the 3rd space, 4th line...

    effects rack/board

    Howdy, don't know if this is the best place for this post, but here goes. I am looking into a hard disk recorder like the Mackie HDR 2496 or the Tascam counterpart or the Akai DR16...HOwever not a one of them has onboard effects like the "standalones" (ie DPS 16 or AW4416). So that becomes a...

    mix translation Hey! Y'all said some stuff about learning mix translation concerning monitors, but I haven't seen anything about it concerning rooms...is that just like an assumed no brainer thing or not valid or what? Also, what is a "typical listening configuration" as you put it? Are you...

    A bit off track, but...

    Hey! I just moved. I hooked up my computer and when I turned on my speakers...I heard radio! The ground should be OK because I put it in myself. A copper rod 45" long and 3/4" thick. The polarity on the plug is fine ('cause the Belkin back ups said it wasn't and I switched it and now it says...

    akai dps16 time stretch

    Hey! If you're talking about just one isolated beat that hit wrong,What I did was do the math using the waveform screen and took some silence from one place and moved it, or whatever the situation reuired. If you're talking about the whole song, I would suggest A) if it's a loop, edit one...

    That "radio vocal" sound

    Jammin! Thanks for all the suggestions, I just moved and as soon as I finish wiring the house (grounds are not "standard" in mexico and I had to put a "physical" one in to use for my 'puter and DPS and keyboard!) and get up and running I will try it! Thanks again D out ITNOJ
