    Music software with shortest learning curve?

    I second (and third and fourth) the vote for Tracktion. I've used Vegas and Fruity and I've tried demos of Cool Edit, N-tracks, Logic and others. Tracktion is just amazing; the workflow and UI are totally intuitive. It dispenses with the out-dated mixing-board UI analogy and it's just a joy to...

    SPDIF sync seems to slip

    OK, it turns out it was a buggy version of Vegas (2.0h). (I know, I know, I should have upgraded years ago, but it's a lot of cake and I don't really need the video stuff.) The slip still happened with the wave forms off, it just took longer to show up. A friend confirms that he had exactly the...

    SP B1, phantom power, and pads

    Has anyone used an inline pad with a Studio Projects B1? Does the pad mess with the phantom power supply?

    recording out of sync

    Same problem, different solution I spent six hours yesterday trying to resolve my sync problem. I installed Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 and the latest Delta drivers. This made absolutely no difference. I was able to determine that it was the digital signal that was slipping. The analog were...

    SPDIF sync seems to slip

    problem solved (sorta) Nope that wasn't it; Single and in sync was already checked. I spent six hours yesterday trying to resolve the problem. I installed Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 and the latest Delta drivers. This made absolutely no difference. I was able to determine that it was the...

    recording out of sync

    spdif slip? Yes. I'm having the same sort of problem. Tracks recorded with my M-Audio 2496's analog input don't sync with tracks recorded with the SPDIF input even though they are recorded at the same time. The M-Audio control panel is set to sync to external SPDIF and the sample rates match...

    SPDIF sync seems to slip

    That sounds like it could be it. I won't have a chance to check until I get back over to our drummer's house later this week. Thanks, Jim. Stay tuned...

    SPDIF sync seems to slip

    update I contacted both ART and M-Audio tech support. ART says it's not a clock issue, because there would be all kinds of digital noise and distortion. They blame latency and "drift" (no kidding!) and tell me to play with my buffer settings. M-Audio copped out and said to upgrade to Window...

    SPDIF sync seems to slip

    I'm getting an intermittent problem using my M-Audio 2496's SPDIF input. Every once in while the sync seems to slip and tracks recorded with the 2496's analog input don't synch with SPDIF tracks. They always start in sync, but sometimes they drift apart. I'm not sure which is correct, but the...

    Listen to my mix and rip me apart. This means you Ed. (or anyone)

    I totally dug the song. Reminded me of early Don Caballero. And no, you don't NEED a vocalist. Kick drum sounds a little boxy, but overall, I liked the drums: very raw and natural sounding. Bass could be a little growlier.

    Musicians Friend price matching.

    They price matched a Line 6 Delay pedal a few years ago, but it only knocked off about $40 or something.

    That Motown Sound!!!??

    How about hitting a four-track cassette machine on your way to digital? You can overload the input to get distortion, hiss, and tape compression. Try using a crappy dynamic too (like a plastic Radio Shack mic or something).

    Recording bassist with fuzz and feedback

    I need a little advice and direction on how to set up a session for recording bass and drums together in the same room. Here's the gear I've got: M-Audio 2496 card (2 analog in, 2 digital in) DMP3 pre ART DPS (with SPDIF out) ART Tube MP SansAmp Classic RNC compressor Sennheiser 421 MXL 603s...
