However, in this studio we have many sessions with track counts over 60 for normal audio, and well over 100 for film scores. How many radars would you need for that? and what would you need for an editor?? Good systems, no doubt, but very limited in their applications, and expensive with higher track counts

Are you guys mixing that many tracks in the box?

That's why I went for the Fairlight. Way more efficient, and 100% stable. I can edit a show in about half the time on the Failright. That's real money saving.

Alas......... as from the 13th of this month, Fairlight is not longer R.I.P.
Seems it wasn't so stable after all??;)

he company has already been bought by someone else.
 
Good, it would be a shame to loose yet another good small audio company............only normally when this happens they get swallowed up by large corporate assholes.

*Tell me of a commercial song done in nuendo.*


a LOT more than you have any idea about.

a lot of my mates who are engineers are using nuendo. bohemian rhapsody has just been mixed in 5.1 in nuendo. i think the beach boys have been remastered in nuendo aswell.


i know a LOT of studios whoare starting to use Nuendo. This is just the start for Nuendo man.
 
All I have to say is you can't go wrong with pro-tools!!! IF you could afford it do the damn thang!!!
 
Digi is dead! Long live Logic and Cubase SX

Digidesign have effectively screwed themselves over by forcing users to run Protools with Digi hardware. The lower end Digi gear is out and out Crap! ( Shitty Pre's and construction quallity for way to many Bucks ) so don't pay good money for it! I have a piece of shit Edirol DA 24/96 which sounds cleaner than the M-Box, 001 and 002 Systems. If you feel you have to have a Protools rig it will cost you about $20,000 for one that sounds good. I could buy five Motu rigs and run whatever software I wanted for that kind of money! ( With as good results ). You will also have to change platforms if you want stability with protools as they primarily develop for Macs, infact half of the coding is done by Apple Techs who are on loan to Digidesign ( This is probably Digidesigns only saving grace but Apple now own Emagic so how long will that last? ). All in all, don't bother with Protools, more and more studios around the world are swithing over to Cubase SX and Logic because they offer better value and flexability. Protools is no longer the industry standard, it is dead, the big studios are just clinging to their beloved Protools rigs because they don't want to update. They know they got shafted and want to try a recover some of the cash they wasted, but many of them will change over to Cubase or Logic when it's time to update.

Just another opinion anyhoo........

The sad fact is that every sencence you write here is a misrepresentation of fact.
Unfortunately for you its all to easy to give yourself away here. Just writing crap like "they wil change to Cubase" does the trick.:D :D :D
 
LOL

I didn't buy pro tools YET, this thread gave me lots to think about. I have not ruled it out but I'm sticking with my mrs-1044 for now.

That was, I think, the right choice. Learn the skills first, then worry about the gear.

Got a Digi001 for sale on ebay mate?

Set me on the path of enlightenment, thats what you want to do isn't it?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! See, he knows he can get a lot more for his hard earned cash! At least in the "Home recording" end of the market..... What was the name if this forum again? Proffessional recording for people without a sense of humor?????

Of all your misinformation, this is the funniest I saw. I worked there for two years, and I never saw a single "Apple Tech" working there. I never saw a single person "on loan" from Apple period.

If you knew anything about the company or industry, you would know that Apple has consistently undermined Digi's efforts at development over time, by doing things like moving to a 3-slot platform, creating Final Cut (directly aimed at Avid's core business), and most recently buying Logic Audio.

All the code was--and is--written by engineers who write code, and work for Digidesign, period.

Posts like yours that are so totally ludicrous probably have the opposite effect that you want them to.

you obviously didn't read the article. And yes, their summing can handle the most basic mixing tasks. That's why the busses will not clip!!!!!

Not that I'm an advocate of Nuendo (I think it's cool, but hell, everybody's got their click) but I do believe the Dixie Chicks most recent album was Nuendo. 'Course if I hear "Seeeee my reflection by a......" again I'm going to ram my head into a wood chipper.

my 2 cents.
