Hi there, The advantages of ProTools TDM versus LE are not just track limitations and price, but the DSP cards for running plugins. I know this could sound very elementary (my dear Watson), but could the UAD-1 be considered an "Accel Junior" card for PT LE? Isn't that what the Accel cards do...

Hey there, Searching for posts on this unit from Behringer yields some favorable comments. I've talked to a couple of local guys that have used and like it too. The biggest downside that keeps surfacing is that it is made by Behringer. :) I've got other Behringer gear and am pleased with it, so...

Hey there, I pulled my Q10 out of the computer to ship to a friend who is interested in buying it. Prior to that, both the Q10 and MBox drivers were listed as devices in Vegas 5. Now that the Q10 is uninstalled, the MBox isn't available. It's not available in Acid 4 either. Oddly enough, it...

Hey there, I just bought the Behringer BCF2000 control surface. I read online that it works with ProTools LE if you run it in Baby HUI mode (detailed in the readme of the latest firmware). Heck if I can get it to work though. I can see the device in the midi setup in PT, but not under Setup...

Hi there, In looking for monitors, I've noticed that many of them seem to take an SPDIF digital input. As it happens, my soundcard has this kind of output (Audiophile 2496). Is there an advantage to feeding monitors with a digitial signal, or should I take the normal signal path...out of my...

I was playing with the CD burning ability of Vegas 3.0 tonight (gonna upgrade to 4 very soon), when I came across the ability to add the ISRC code to each track of a DAO burn. One thing led to another, and I ended up at their site: http://www.ifpi.org/isrc/ RIAA is the "agency" for ISRC in the...

As will be obvious by the end of this post, possibly sooner, I know diddly about electronic drums. I need to get a drumset for practice and limited recording. I currently have an Alesis SR16 in my recording setup. As I understand it, one must have not only the electronic drums, but also a drum...

Hi there, I wasn't sure of the speed of my disk, so I downloaded a freebie util to tell me. It appears to be a 5400 RPM hard disk. Until now, I've never enountered an app that didn't work alright with a 5400 RPM drive, even if the documented req's specify 7200 RPM. My setup: Vegas Video...

Hi folks, I am close to buying better monitors for studio, but I have a question about placement. My current monitors are basically bookend speakers that I mounted to the wall in the corner. My computer monitor is right between them. I put them on the wall at the best height for my ears to get...

Hey there, I've got an Alesis SR 16 drum machine and thought, wouldn't it be cool to take the patterns I have on that and put them into Acid 4.0. The best of both worlds for this one man home studio. :) I tried this with a simple, preset rock pattern. I brought it into Sound Forge and cut it...

Hi there, I searched here, at the SF website, Google web and groups, but am coming up short. Here's the scoop. I've been using ntrack for multitracking, but lately, I've become a poster child for Sonic Foundry. Tried the demo of Acid. Bought it. Read great things about Sound Forge. Bought it...

It's not a tune, but it IS a recording: http://www.penguindude.com/audio/gettig-message.mp3 It's about an 860k download. I'll be doing songs for sure at some point, but right now I'm piecing together a voiceover business. Here's the process on my Athlon AXP 1800 with the Audiophile 2496 card...

Has anyone used the "Twisted Reality" loop library from Sonic Foundry? I'm thinking of getting it for "power part" usage constructing music beds for broadcast. Any reviews? Something better you can point me to? I've used some of the sample loops from what came with Acid to produce power parts...

I asked this on the ntrack board, but thought I would ask here as well. When normalizing a track, ntrack crashes with an IPF. Specifically: NTRACK caused an invalid page fault in module NTRACK.EXE at 0167:004cf573. My system specs: win98 on an athlon axp 1800, audiophile 2496, 256 MB RAM...

Hi folks, I'm working on a budget (aren't we all?) and I've narrowed it down to a few choices. I'm really trying to keep it under $300. For radio and similar voice over work, here's what I'm looking at: From Studio Projects: B-1 (inexpensive!) B-3 (changeable patterns, correct?) C-1 (real...

How do you use Acid? [list=1] Dance music/Club music Radio/TV commercial beds Video soundtracking beds Something else (please explain) [/list=1] I have seen Acid for some time now, but never took the time to really see what it is and what it can do. I am piecing together a business plan for...

Quick question for all you who use the 24 bit version. I just picked up an Audiophile 2496 this weekend. Not my ultimate solution, but I am pleased still. :) I registered the 16 bit version of ntrack and used it quite a bit. The on-board sound on my new PC, however, forced the upgrade to a...

Anyone use one of these yet with ntrack? http://www.midiman.com/products/m-audio/duo.php Would there be an advantage to getting the Delta 66 instead? Tony

Hi there, I just bought a new PC. Athlon AXP1800, 256 MB RAM, nVidia Geforce2 Ti graphics. Great for Unreal Tourney, but I really wanted to be able to run ntrack. I can run ntrack, but every track I record has some background noise there. In fact, my VU's show this noise too. I have screen...

Hi there, Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks! http://www.penguindude.com/audio
