SO are you saying to leave the Dolby on all the time on the portastudio, or to turn it off when bouncing to and from the Otari?

Thanks Geoff. That's what I figured, and yes, the Otari is a half track capable of 15 ips. Of course, I could have just tried it to see what sounds best, but I have had house guests for the last 4 days and have not been able to get back out into the studio. So, instead, I just think about...

After many years of digital, I am dragging out my old tape gear just because I want to have something new (old?) to mess around with. I have an Audio Technica RMX64 portastudio and an Otari 2 track reel to reel. I was given the Otari 8 or 10 years ago and haven't ever used it with the...

I still have my other interface, but I think you are right, maybe just the mixer software is using a little more juice, causing a problem for things that were already on the edge of cpu usage. I turned off all the adat ins and outs that I am not using, hoping this might take a little pressure...

I have a daw i built about 3 or 4 years ago. It has a Gigabyte LGA1156 4DDR3-2200 CrossFireX/GBE/Raid/SATA3/USB3.0/7.1-CH ATX Motherboard GA-P55A-UD3 and an Intel Core i5-750 Lynnfield 2.66GHz LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor. I am running Protools 10 and Windows 7. 4 gigs of ram. I have been...

The Focusrite only allows for phantom power to be switched on/off to the first bank of four inputs or the second bank of four independently. So, turn on phantom power to input number one, you turn on phantom power to numbers 2, 3, and 4 also. I want to plug my preamp into one of those...

I have a tube preamp with a transformer balanced output that I want to run into a line input of my Focusrite saffire pro 40. The input of the Focusrite may have phantom power on it at times. Will this voltage cause any problems for my tube pre?

what sort of things could I do to make it sound less dull? (unless you mean the songs themselves, or the arrangements, in which case I would have much work to do)

I've been spending a lot of time the last several months trying to improve my mixing skills. I would appreciate any constructive criticism of these 3 songs I have recorded in my studio. Say whatever you would like about any aspect of the songs, but what I am really most interested is a...

I've always used a studio in a box set up, so I have no experience using DAW software. I am building a computer and have purchased PT9. What is the best way to go about learning to use this software? Book, DVD, internet courses, dive in and learn by doing? I don't really want to stop...

Okay, I am a long time lurker, and I have gotten much inspiration from this web site and the studio building discussion. I recently completed my new studio at my new house. Built it in my 30'x30' workshop. No longer have to cram everything into a small room. Now I have to cram everything into...

I am abut to begin building my studio space. I have room for a 12'x19' space with a 9.5' ceiling. There will be a door in one of the 12' walls. I only record myself here, no full bands, or acoustic drums. Should I build one end of the room as a mixing area, with a different ceiling or...

Thanks, people, these are the kind of basic, starting point tips I can use.
