i'm using fujifilm.. they have been pretty reliable (burning with a powerbook).

Does anyone have a 1/2" 16 track (preferably Tascam) around the San Diego area, or up in LA? I have two reels that I need to copy to another format.

Thanks....

i have an mbox at home and an hd at the studio... the only incompatibility i found is that the mbox will only do 44.1 and 48k sessions. it won't open high sample rate sessions.

as far as TDM plugs... what compressors and limiters have you used, and what's your impression? here's a short list: - Universal Audio LA2A - Universal Audio 1176LN - Drawmer Dynamics - Waves Renaisance Compressor - Bomb Factory Fairchild 660/670 - Metric Halo ChannelStrip - Focusrite D3 - Sony OXF-...

for years i've tracked and edited to hard drive and mixed through a console... now i'm considering putting it all in the computer - esp. since my new employer is giving me a nice budget to do so. anyway, i'd love to hear what people think are the very best eq and channel dynamics plugins (rtas in my...

I just took a new job at a university recording studio, and the first task they put me on is dubbing old faculty masters. Now it seems all the tapes have been stored in rather humid warm storage, and every one of them is leaving a trail of goo. The studio had no oven, and when I suggested a fruit de...

i'm curious if anyone has heard either of these digital boards. they seem to be the right size for our studio, but i am a little worried as to what yamaha or mackie may have come up with for digital eq or compression...

VERY loose. okay - i'll wager that the optical led is soldered directly to the circuit board, and that it is now broken off of the circuit board. the only time it is working, is when you wiggle it so that the metal connections touch. any pro audio repair shop should be able to fix this. if under wa...

have you tried sending the digimax signal to any other device?

it sounds like the optical connector on the digimax might be a bit flakey... does it seem a little loose?

you can copy the program... no problem there.

yep - i did the workshop, and i think it went pretty well. the tapeopcon was really great this year. i learned something in every session i went to (and i've been recording for 20+ years!). i'm defintely gonna be there next year... and hopefully they'll let me chair a session (i'd like to do somethi...

the safest thing to do is leave them all at zero... however, i'd suggest playing with them so you can figure out what sounds best to you. you need to experiment, (and make a few mistakes) if you want to get good at this. and yes, the club system is going to sound much different than your headphones....

no - all you really need to do is copy it to another drive in the finder.

thanks!! those are excellent resources.

some of my colleagues have been talking about the benefits of using external analog mix busses, as opposed to mixing within protools or dp4. since i have built analog gear, and programmed computers, i am a little wary of this idea, and am probably going to do a double blind test later this year. any...
