When do these errors occur? Is there a pattern? I used to get errors only when I was trying to write or play from my Yamaha CD drive. As I described previously, I contacted Akai (www.akaipro.com) and following their advice to set the CD write speed to x4, I have not had the errors since. If...

John, The Yamaha CD burner does not feature a dithering capability. I would stick to 16 bit if you intend to use it. I tried burning 24 bit and it crapped out with error messages and all. Believe me, the 16 bit sounds pretty darn good. I'm not sure if you can burn through the SCSI drive...

Keep turning the jog wheel, Johnny. It goes: MAX/SLOW(x1)/FAST(x2)/x3/x4 Check page 115 in the Akai DPS16 User's Manual, Chapter 10 -Project Management, "Writing a Project to CD-R/CD-RW" :D

john, My Yamaha (Model CRW8424SXZ) CD burner kept giving me error messages when using the Write function. Akai's service people advised me to set the write speed instead of using the max setting and the problem went away. Try the max setting and if it works, OK, otherwise try setting the...

john, As best I can tell (the manual does not go into detail on this), when you burn to your CDR, you get exactly what is on the two tracks, i.e., there is no more mixing - panning, EQing, compressing, etc. You have to do all of that stuff in the mixdown to the two tracks. So monitor the...

DPS16 Mixdown Mix your source tracks through the ping pong bus to the two remaining tracks. These will become your stereo 'master' tracks which you will 'burn' to your CD writer using the DPS16's CD write routine (under PROJECT Mode then [F2] (CD-R) ). Remember to: 1. Switch the bus effects...

Just to add to Wide Awakes list: Hard drives are notoriously shaky so get something to back-up your tracks (CD R/RW, zip drive, whatever works with the D12). A CD R/RW can also double as your two track mix down device as well. An active direct box can sometimes help direct in recording if you...

Me and my partner Mike were recording some vocals just this past Saturday in my basement studio using Mike's new Neumann tlm-103 through a Focusrite Platinum vocal pream into an Akai DPS16 when Mike asked why the live vocal foldback in his headphone monitor sounded stilted and lacking in...

Recording versus live How do your recorded vocals sound to you? Are you getting the tone, feeling, dynamics that you want to achieve? If you are trying to achieve a clean, pretty sound as much of acoustic music aspires to, I think you will naturally have a tendency while recording to want to...

I got a DPS16 last September and since then I have logged many hours and nearly filled the 10 gig hard drive. I have a Yamaha CD burner, model CRW8424SX connected via a SCSI cable and it works great. The DPS operating system contains all the software you need, and the user interface is built...

Self Service OK. I'm new here but I just got tired of waiting for one of you well informed hombres to answer my question so I contacted Sweetwater (.com of course) and Gregg informed me that the only difference is that the C1000s has an on/off switch, thus the 's.' Just for the heck of it...

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between AKG's C1000 and C1000s? Quality? Mucho obliged.
