I don't use NS-10's.

And aren't you the one that like KRK's?!?!?!?!?! Talk about needing tissue on the tweeter! ;)

Oh, I should clarify the clocking comment I made.

I heard no difference on the HD24 using it's internal clock, the BRC, or the Lucid.

It would seem that the HD24 has a decent clock, and the BRC is on par with that. Or, possibly the A/D/A's on the HD24 are so bad that NO clock will improve them? :D Nah...........The HD24 has a decent sounding converter.

But really, the XT 20 converters were very good sounding converters too. Even the old black face A/D/A's were pretty decent. Would have been interesting to hear them with an external clock.

why, oh why did alesis use a 10mbps ethernet port? that is just stupid. they could of at least made it 100 just like everything else out there. i guess that would make the fireport obsolete though. anyway, that is my only complaint after my first session. everthing else about this thing rocks!
 
I'm eye-balling an HD24 also, so keep us posted on how your sessions are coming!

BTW, what kind of board are you using with your HD24?
 
i am using a mackie 32-8, but it is basically for monitoring. i have focusrite outboard pres that go directly into the recorder. i transfer stuff into vegas for editing and mixing.
 
The Fire-Port Rules. I don't think a 100mbps ethernet port could touch it. I am glad they did not build the Fire-Port right into the HD24. I like having the ability to dump my files on any machine I wish, not just the one in the studio.

As far as boards go, I use an MCI JH416.
 
actually, it is not even 100mbps, it is only 10mbps. i just talked to a guy from alesis today and asked him why it was at that speed. he said cause when the hd24 came out, that was the technology. i dont beleive him cause this unit has only been out for what, 2-3 years. 100mbps has been around longer than that.
 
The speed is far from optimal, but I don't mind it too much.

I've recently recorded a project for a local singer, who wants to take the tracks home on CD-R to mix in (ouch) cubase, instead of going through my Soundtracs console. Anyway, at the end of each session, I ftp the track to my PC and then burn it on CD-R for him.

It takes some time, but I always ending up putting the mics back in the cabinet, making notes of the session, talking to him about the tracks we cut, unplugging all mic cables etc etc.

So, by the time we're done, the CD-R is too.
