    Sharp Minidisc Recorder

    I'm looking at the Sharp MD-MT90. What is the "Optical" cable? Can that be used to digitally transfer recordings from the MT90 to a G4? If not, what's the general process (just using the anologue out to a board then back into the mac?)? Thanks P.S. If you have other recommendations in terms...

    Mixing Down

    When I mix down from my 424 to a two track cassette, there's a huge loss in audio quality. The hiss goes up, the level goes down. When I monitor the four tracks coming out of the Tascam, they sound really good, but the mixed-down two track sounds bad. Can anyone offer advice. It's not a great...

    m-audio and macs

    Has anyone used a delta 66 or 1010 on a mac? If so, what were the results? I've decided to go mac; I'm now debating the relative merits of digi001, MOTU 828, and Delta 66/Omni. The other question is around the MOTU autodesk software, anybody have experience with it? Thanks in advance for any...

    Latency

    A bit long winded, but here goes: I'm thinking about spending $3000 (US) on a computer, soundcard, and software set-up to begin doing digital recording. What I'm concerned about is this issue of "latency." As I understand it, there can be a delay when adding a new track while monitoring...

    DAWG vs. Wave Digital vs. Drastik

    I'm whimping out and will be ordering a pc pre-configured for audio recording. I've been reading this forum for a while, so I think I know where I stand vis a vis sound cards. Now I've turned my attention to the box. Has anyone purchased PCs from DAWG, Wave Digital, or Drastik? (Or, other...

    Soundcards for Laptops

    I have a Dell Inspiron 3500. It has a NeoMagic MagicMedia 256AV Audio card. Based on fooling around with it, Fruity Loops and n-Tracks, it's clear to me that this isn't a full-duplex card (n-Tracks told me so!). I have two PCMCIA sockets (one's occupied by a network card). What options do I...

    FD-4 Vs. 424mkIII

    I'm a recovering musician who has fallen off the wagon. I've decided to invest in enough equipment to do some recording at home. I don't need the best, geekiest stuff. I need easy to use in a solo situation, easy to use if a band ever materializes, and easy on the checking account. I want to be...
