Hi guys, i'm building a midi controller for my final year project(i'm studying electronic engineering). One of my target applications for this was protools, however protools won't accept anything less than a HUI controller. Does anyone know where i might get a detailed HUI specification...

I tried the wavedriver and asio drivers but to no joy, with premier at least. It's a digi-001 and works with most of my other audio applications, e.g. windows media player, cool edit e.t.c It is ver 5.3.1 i have though. I'll get on to digidesign. Thanks for you're help.

Hi, I've got a digi 001 in my setup at home. I'm having problems getting direct sound going. Most noticeably when i try to run adobe premiere, where the program won't run at all because it can't find an appropriate audio device. In the documentation digidesign recommend a separate sound card...

Hi, This is my first post in a while, i'll try not to make it too long-winded.... I'm having trouble with my protools system, more specifically i can't write good midi drum sequences on the goddam thing. Am I missing something or is the 'keyboard' type layout frustratingly difficult to...

Yeah that worked like a dream. I converted it to wav. I guess the problem came from my ignorance of wma and wav formats. The wav(windows pcm) works the wma doesn't. There was no need for me to convert to wma. Thanks again, you guys never cease to amaze me.

Hi all, I'm trying to convert some mp3's to wma in Cool Edit but I keep getting an error message when doing the batch convert. It goes along the lines of : ' Cannot convert, file in use by another application, close down (said) application and try again'. The thing is I have no other...

I've just got a pro-tools mx-001. Suprisingly I've not had any troble getting to grips with the protools end of things(yet) it's integrating it into my other kit that's the problem. I have a spirit folio F1, 6-channel mixer that I want to use to route my mic signals as it's got preamps and a...

1)How exactly do sequencers work? 2)How would I use a sound module such as the EMU planet earth in conjunction with a pc sequencer?3) Would I need a high spec pc for such an operation or would a 10gig hd, 64mb ram, built in sound card pc do? p.s. I'll understand if you need a couple of weeks to...

Is it possible tp connect an FD-4 to and Adat using the digi i/o on the Fd-4. I connected the FD-4 to my uncle's Alesis adat for mixing but It would only transfer the left and right channels. I couldn't transfer individual tracks which defeated the point of using the adat. The Fostex FD-4 manual...

Thanks Emeric I already checked it out. What about yamaha souncards? I'm pretty sceptical about being able to mix on the gateway. The last time asked about p.c. recording I was told I needed an extremely fast p.c. and tons of r.a.m. . I was planning on mixing the stuff with programs like...

I have a fostex fd-4. I want to transfer the data from the fd-4 onto a gateway 2000,p166, 2.4gig hd, 64-bit ram. I've been told that I can do this provided I have a good souncard. I have an sb16 at the moment I was recommended to get a turtlebeach taiti so far I haven't been able to find one...

Hey skweeks I think I might be able to help you out. I was scouring the net and magazines for prices, specs etc. The fostex fd-4 is definately the way to go if your not recording a lot of instruments. If you think of it this way the 424mk3 has plenty of mic inputs for a lot of different...

I want to upgrade my porta02 to something a little more flexible. I want to do some decent quality demos for my band and would need a couple of mic inputs (the 424). But I also want to do some high quality demo recording for my own music which is mostly just guitar and vocals and wouldn't be...

Thanks Eddie I think I'll probably start saving for a new pc. Is standalone unit just another name for digital multi-tracker? Hey Dobro could you give me more details on your equipment? I write a lot of acoustic, single guitar songs. I would record these more than the band. At most I'd have 4...

No I haven't thought of standalone units. To be honest I don't know a whole lot about them. I was planning on converting a p.c. because it's a spare one, There's another one in the house which is much faster (80megs of RAM, 30 gig hardisk,pentium 2 266 mmx processor) The problem is it's used...

Thanks for the advice I'll give both of them a shot. I'm hearing an awful lot about the POD for recording can you use as a preamp and effects module all at once? Oh yeah, if I'm using a direct box to record bass do I run the bass through a preamp then into the DI or do I just plug the bass into...

I'm looking to convert my p.c. into a digital multitracker. I've read the digital article on this site but I need more specific info. My p.c. is a Gateway 2000 with a pentium 166 processor, about a 3.5 gig hardrive, 16mb of ram (Can upgrade to 64 mb's). Software is no problem. I was wondering if...

Geeman here . I'm fairly new this is only about my 4th post. I'm trying to record a 4 piece guitar band on a tascam porta 02 ministudio. My problem is synchronization: I recorded the lead and rhythm guitars on 2 separate tracks then I put the bass over them on a 3rd track and vocals on a 4th. I...

Geeman here. I was wondering do analog recorders use regular cassette tapes or is there a special type of tape you have to get to record on a multitracker? It's a pretty stupid question but I'm one step away from buying a Tascam porta02 and I'm pretty well informed about it's specs etc. but I...
