    Windows 2003 Server as DAW Platform

    I've read and read and read about using a server edition operating system for a workstation and decided to take the plunge. I installed Windows 2003 Server Enterprise R2, SP2 on my DAW machine last night and I must say I've not been happier with a computer-related decision. ROCK SOLID AND FAST...

This board is physically immaculate, has the meter bridge, has been gone over inside and out, and also (this is killer) has an upgraded Neve master section. The thing sounds great from what I could tell...

    M-Powered in addition to my other stuff

    So....I hate my Firepod the more and more I track with it. The lack of a virtual mixer just flat out sucks, and the control panel software it has must be the least comprehensive thing I have ever encountered. Also, I never got as many system hangs when I had a PCI-based setup (Aark Q10)...

    Epiphany...a bit of an experiment

    Those who run multi-format facilities or have a DAW and a great tape deck, lend me your ears.....literally. Find a purely digital sound from a purely digital source (like a purely synthesized sound or even using an electronica track ripped at a high sampling rate from a cd that you know was...

    You know the more I listen to moder nrock albums the more I realize that alot of people are triggering acoustic drums and micing the overheads only. At least thats what it sounds like.
