    x86 bridged

    As far as I can tell, just the amount of RAM your system can support. 32 bit OS's are limited to 4 Gig max, but can only access something like 3 to 3.5 Gig depending on your system. To where as Windows 7 Professional 64 bit can access up to 192 Gig and Windows XP Professional 64 bit is limited...

    KRK Rokit 6 or 8?

    Personally, I will never buy KRK again. I bought a set of Rokit 8's around two years ago. Around 9 months I had one speaker start making crackling noises, but only at certain freqs (whatever freq the D string on a bass is). I contacted KRK, which took a while, and they were moving offices so...

    Bounce?

    Duh, why didn't I think of that! :drunk: So lost in DAW that I was asking about going old-school without even thinking about how it used to be done...sheesh. Thanks man. Maybe I am screwing something up, but I couldn't make the other ways works. It would take the two tracks down to one...

    Bounce?

    I have to be missing something completely simple, but here is where I am. I am editing drum parts and had to add an extra 1/8th note on the hi-hat. So I found a clean 1/8th strike, copied it, and used an additional couple of extra tracks to line it up and make sure it sounds natural. Now I want...

    You know you're a crap drummer when...

    I've punched myself in the side of the head, hit my head with a stick, hell I even threw up on my snare once, but I've never punched myself in the junk. Kudos Sir. :D

    Anybody Using Bluenoise?

    I downloaded and used it with Reaper a year or two ago. If memory serves, I set it up like any other VSTi, had Reaper rescan the folder, and it worked. Looking at his website, it looks like it's come a LONG way since I played with it. I stopped using it because it was basically just a 4...

    Overhead mics for <$200

    I was using a stereo pair of MXL 993's: http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/MXL-993-Condenser-Microphones-Stereo-Pair?sku=273171 I am actually getting ready to put them on eBay (with shockmounts) as I've replaced them with NT5's. If you're interested, PM me.

    Lets be creative

    With what little experience I have, I would guess at approaching it like an orchestra with lots of overheads and room mics? :confused:

    Recommended drum heads

    Unfortunately, Evans pulled that off of their site as far as I can tell. Maybe they are adding their new lines to it...or at least I hope they are. That chart was very helpful.

    Racks vs Stands in the Studio

    Perfectionist, yes. Just not talented enough to do anything about it...yet. ;)

    Racks vs Stands in the Studio

    Learned that lesson the hard way years ago when we first started recording. Thought we'd be clever and mount all of the mics on the rack with LP Claws. I can't put into words how awful that sounded. Every surface struck started a rumble of shit through every mic.

    Les Paul with maple neck?

    Holy shit, I just spit soup all over my computer! Hahaha... :D

    Racks vs Stands in the Studio

    I have had my drums on a Pearl ICON rack for years and it never occurred to me before, but in a studio setting would individual stands be better? I was thinking to myself that since the rack is essentially a piping system it probably conducts energy from one surface to another quite well...

    Torn Between Interfaces!

    I use a PreSonus Firestudio 2626 and have had zero problems with it. There seems to have been a bunch of people that had driver issue, somehow I lucked out. I think partly because I purpose built my DAW based on known good hardware that was listed on the PreSonus Forums. The only complaint...

    Recommended drum heads

    I always change the bottoms with the tops. They may not get a beatin', but they are usually thinner and stretch too. I usually use Evans Genera Reso heads, but I have used G1's and even G2's once. I wouldn't recommend the G2's for resonants unless you want a really, really dead tom. It was...

    Recommended drum heads

    Evans. They have a head for nearly every style and the durability is second to none. The Genera snare heads don't loose their coating within a couple hours of play like Remo's do. They have several lines of 1 and 2 ply heads that offer different tonal possibilities. I myself have used...

    Toms Question

    I hate my small one too. It's a 10" maple (Keller) and it's a bitch to get in tune and work out the wired "boing" noise that it makes whenever the top and bottom heads aren't getting along. Maybe the depth to diameter ratio is bad (8" deep), but the larger toms are way easier to tune. I...

    Can I use Yamaha DGX-530 with FL-8 as a midi controller KB?

    I'm not really a keyboard sort of fella' and I don't do a lot of MIDI stuff, but from www.yamaha.com: "The DGX530 has 2 USB ports on the back, USB TO HOST and USB TO DEVICE. USB TO HOST is plug and play simple for recording and playing back MIDI files, as well as transferring data to and from...

    Windows OS question

    As been stated, XP. 8Gb won't do you much good though as 32-bit XP will only recognize around 3.25-3.5Gb or so. With Microsoft throwing XP by the wayside, I'm curious to see how 7 shakes out myself.

    which interface, which software?

    Reaper. It's as good, or better in some areas, as the DAW's you've listed. Free to try and inexpensive to licence. At least give it a go. If you don't like it, you're not out anything but a little time. www.reaper.fm
