    Anyone familiar with a Ramsa/Panasonic DA-7 mixer???

    I have one hooked up to my HD24. Currently I have 3 ADAT cards installed so I can easily monitor 24 tracks via light pipe. So .... in other words right now its basically functioning as a monitor mixer. I have also got an ADDA card and I want to set up a buss compression/coloring scheme a la...

    Got me a 441.

    :D Ssssooooo psyched!! It was supposed to be on 30 day hold but came in early. So far I've just been trying it out on my little practice guitar amp through my UA2108 but it sounds great. Lower output than I thought it might have but real nice sounding so far. Nice top end without being too...

    HD24 outputs??

    Can the HD24 output from the ADAT lightpipe outs and and analog out simultaneously??? The manual SUCKS BTW but I have it basically up and running. But I am connecting it to a Panasonic/Ramsa DA-7 (for mixdown) and was going to use two ADAT cards and one ADDA card in the DA-7 so I can at least...

    Found a md441 .... finally.

    ... used that is. Its on store hold for 30 days but still ...... IF its in good condtion then I think the $220 for it will be a good deal. Checked and it does have the clip. I HATE going to the music store. Went to pick up a used RNC for a buck and ended up with another mic comming. Damn...

    Finally took the plunge for HD24.

    After moving and resetting up and then working all the time, I finally purchased an HD24 ....... UPS says it will be here Tuesday. I am going to be hooking it up to a Panasonic DA-7 mixing board. My (1st of a million) question is about word clock and MIDI machine control. The DA-7 has a nice...

    WCSMITHERMAN ripped me off !!!!!

    :mad: :mad: :mad: He agreed to trade his acoustic/electric guitar for my Gadgetlabs 496 soundcard. I was very nonchalant about the whole thing since he was very promt in his communications (at 1st) and I had no use for that card ..... so I sent him the card 1st, and said that he should...

    Beyer M500 tLC question.

    I just picked up a Beyer m500n ribbon mic yesterday. It is in the original case and has all of the original paperwork with plot in German. The foam in the case has disintigrated as has the foam windscreen inside the mic grill. I of course removed the case foam and cleaned the case. But after...

    1st full mix for project... please comment.

    http://www.recordingproject.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?p=65199#65199 The set up is described on the link's thread. I am pretty happy with the drum sound. My Groove Tubes MD1-t's on overhead duty. :) Kindaa wish I stuck with a 57 on snare instead of the M69 for a little more schnap to the snare...

    Power amp wattage vs monitor rating ????

    I have a question, which at this point I feel like is a totally stupid thing for me to not know, but ............ I have a set of Event 20/20 passives. I believe they are rated at 150w each. Someone at another forum mentioned something to the effect that you SHOULD have a power amp with TWICE...

    Vintech 1272 vs. UA 2108 ????

    From what i've gathered about these two units they are good "balls-y" pre-amps.... especially on drums. But if the 1272 and the 2108 had Battle Roy-al which would be the pound for pound best overall pre??? I am probably going for a Sytek unit and as I've heard that has a cleaner character, I...

    Mackie MDR 24/96 vs. ADAT-HD ????

    I have the oportunity to purchase a Mackie MDR 24/96 (used) for about the same price as a new ADAT-HD. I was leaning towards the ADAT because it takes regular (cheap) IDE drives as opposed to the proprietary Mackie Media drives...... (anybody know how much these are??). I like the fact that...

    "Hot-keying" zoom functions ????

    I am almost positive i read about a way to hotkey zoom functions but I cant seem to find it in the manual. Any help? Also ..... any idea of why when I open a CEP wave file in Sound Forge that I had cue points marked (in CEP) it gives me a "Illegal boundaries marked in file have been...

    Monitoring while recording???

    Why cant I monitor the channels being recorded in CEP2???? I can monitor the channel with it armed but as soon as I hit REC I stop hearing the channel. I have a Delta 44 and GadgetLabs 496 and have CEP set to input and output on completely different channels. I am guessing there is some...

    O.K. So I recorded a some bass tracks .... single track (per song) of combined DI and mic. And I didnt hear how prominent it was while tracking but there is a substatial ground loop noise. There was a really bad ground loop when we 1st set up the rig but we changed cords and plugged the amp a...

    My 1st post to the clinic.

    Please rip away. http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=3897&alid=-1 This is my friend Geooff's band I am recording a gig demo for. He built the drums (sans snare) himself. This is only a mix of the drums with the scratch guitar and bass mixed low (-ish) for context. I am pretty...

    Finally trying my MD1b-T's as overheads.

    Did the setting up and level checking last night. They sound great. It helps that the kit sounds VERY good anyway. And its a small (12X12-ish) room thats pretty live but they dont come off too roomy. I am using the "modified" technique with them spaced at 41" from the snare. The "left" OH is...
