Hello, It has been years since I did extensive DAW recording but back in the day, I was told to have my recording drive be separate from my OS and boot drive. Is this still a consideration with SSD Drives? Also, I used to get the advice with 7200 RPM drives go have smaller partitions to record. Is t...

I rented a Presonus Firestudio today. I am currently using Mac OS X 10.4.11 on a G4 Gigabit Ethernet tower. I downloaded the drivers in the form of their Universal Control app but they didn't work for me. I learned from their website but the new download does not support 10.4. Does anybody know how ...

I was thinking of soldering a 4 TRS daisy-chain to put in my patch bay to create a mult. If I have all three mult-ed outputs going to a source will there be a level dip at any or all of the sources?

I have a IDE hard drive in a firewire enclosure. Using a G4 500 in OS 10.4.11 3 of the 6 my hard drive partitions won't mount and they can not be repaired in OSX Disc Utility or DiskWarrior. javascript:emoticon(':cry:') Could anybody suggest any remedies? I would like to think that the data isn't lo...

I have had the shure level-loc clone The Sherlock for years now and not put it together. My kit seems incomplete. I have the circuit board, the components and a set of directions in paragraph form but no schematic or visual diagram. Does anyone know if it ever came with all these things?

Thanks! As of this evening I found the circuit board in my parts bin. Once I remembered the name of it was the SHERLOCK I did keyword searches on the board and found some more info. Someone posted the text of Drew's step by step instructions which is very valuable but still I am lacking diagrams and...

Does anyone remember the DIY kit to make a clone of the Shure Level Lock? Was it called the Shurelok? Surelock? I can't remember. What I do know is that I have the parts kit that I ordered. Yet I don't have the circuit board nor the assembly manual. I would love to finally build it. It has been abou...

I had to post this.
What the hell?

I'll try to make it. Putting it on my calander.

In Boston, the Production and Engineering office at Berklee used to have them in addition to other recording mags. I remember being sent down to the studio office as well.

Remove the fan? That seems a little crazy to me. I think my other G4 started crapping out when i deprived it of proper air flow. Damn. Maybe I should have just splurged for the G5. : (

After much deliberation and budget considerations I bought a used G4 dual 500 "Gigabit Ethernet" model from circa 2000. My dual450 was on the fritz and this way I figured I could salvage my RAM, DVD-R, MOTU card, etc and put it into the 500. When i turned on the 500 I was shocked to find it has extr...

Im curious as to why you'd want to go back to hard disc? Latency, clock anomalies, boot-up time, crashes, using a mouse with a guitar strapped on and staring at a computer screen. ...And ultimately the lack of immediacy that the computer gives you when you want to put down an idea. I am trying to s...

I am thinking of switching back from my computer to a dedicated hard disk recorder. There are a slew of them on the market and all relatively cheap. Anyone have any success stories? Regrets? I am looking for something simple with hands on controls and without layers and layers of menu options. The Y...

New to Austin here. It would be great to meet other TapeOp-ers. Keep me posted.
