733 or dual 533? Hey, now that were on the topic, does anyone know which is better for pro tools and/or digital performer-- 733mhz or a dual processor machine? I understand the 733 will let you burn a DVD inside... must be handy!?! --jk

sorry your mom's ignorant... camn, -check out http://www.winmag.com/win2000/insider/2000/01.htm and http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ralf/files.html maybe that will help. --------- PS: I have been a programmer analyst for 17 years, and have programmed on mainframes, MS DOS, Windows 3.1, NT, Unix, Linux...

suck? yes. camn, my 2 pesetas: depends on what you are comparing it to. Look at Mac bbs's (not this one, for some reason). You don't hear Mac users complaining about IRQ's. Fact is, I was running Digital performer, Pro Tools, Sound Designer, Sample Cell, and some other stuff on my Mac 7500...

can I dig all three? Thanks for the link, Cyan-- be checkin it out 2nite (no sound card at work dammit!). I paid 2K @samash for the PCM91; was going to go the 'used' route, but older units weren't selling for very much less on Ebay so I figured why not for a few more sheckles have the most...

good point, Tapehead I think you sense the truth here-- it's easy for me to get into obsessing on gear, and put off actually creating something... but oooo I love it sooo!!! And I love you too, Tapehead. cheers, jk

Sabith- got a pair of Tannoy studio monitors & also read sonusman's piece on the importance of cranking them.

get the hint ametth--I get where you are coming from -- you want me to use my OWN EARS. So, I WILL do that for the next coupla nights, before returning the Vintech and checking out some other pres. Two more things for you though, then I'll shut up, I promise. 1)What other pres would you...

yo ametth!!!! glad I caught you. OK -- what I will attempt to do falls into 2 categories. They are: 1. "legit" singer's (ie Broadway/Classical) demo CDs, either with synthesized piano and/or orchestral backup (will use Gigasampler and software sequencer) and maybe some added live recorded...

oops sorry -- that should have had the title, "recording classical vocals". I don't know what happened.

I am (with nose prominantly raised to a level even with my forehead, so that you may gaze deeply within my dark, wet, flaring nostrils) a classical/ legit style singer, as are a slew of my friends. No dirty old rock and roll voice for me! But this was not always the case. I actually once...

thanks ametth. I am not sure about that Focusrite comment. I think he was talking about workmanship mostly. He was particularly proud of the discreet components and, I've since found out, the vintage (canabalized) Neve transformers. The Vintech comes in a very plain blue box, not a lot of...

I'm biased... In a prior life I owned a Alesis QuadraVerb (is that how you spell it?) I was never excited by it. Some of the settings seemed ok, I guess. It was my first reverb unit. In a short time, I started feeling that it sounded mostly like hiss. I guess that's why on my current binge...

I've been doing some post Christmas shopping for mic pres, and came across a bunch of Neve 1272 ads in Ebay. Turns out they aren't actual Neves, but come from a new company, Vintech, and made from "Neve components" according to the Vintech web site-- guess that means either new clones or...

Thanks a bunch, tdukex: I already printed out their soundcard recommendation list-- it's good, but I really want the inside scoop. However, I did go back to the URL you mentioned and checked out the Nemesys FAQ which I think has a little more of what I need. I was also on the Northernsounds...

Thanks, Kennedy I'll be sure to stick with PIII w/440 bx chipset. Also thanks for explaining what the hell TDIF meant. I might run some more by you, as this classic folktale unfolds-- that was exactly the kind of heads up info I am yearning for! Rgds, Jerry

tdukex: Thanks. I emailed a request to soundchaser-- I am still waiting for their response. Kennedy: I think I want to use this box for Giga only, and do recording onto another box, and sequencing from possibly still another box. From what I hear, standalone is what Giga likes-- of course...

Now I am officially hooked on setting up a dedicated PC, loaded with Gigastudio 160, thanks to our beloved Rev E, & looking for a reliable(gremlin-free) hardware configuration. Requirements from Nemesis(Giga) are: * Windows 95 or 98 (no Windows 2000), * 256Mb RAM. * 800MHz...

Thanks Emeric /skippy... I kindof figured it was a repeat question-- sorry. Thanks so much, though-- all extremely helpful. I actually had tried searching for "balanced" before I posted, to not much avail. Just now looked for "balanced differential" and that seemed to supply some good...

here goes... Jeffery... I am by no means an expert, but if you are interested in recording digital audio to your computer you will need, absolutely minimally, the following stuff on your computer (Note that this is absolutely entry level, just get you in the door by a nose hair type stuff.)...

Duh--OK. I read the IEEE definition. Something to do with the, duh, ground being a true ground and not part of the circuit...and equal impedances... or something. And how do I know if I got em balanced? If I don't, will I blow up my new Lexicon? Is this "balancing" in the nature of the...
