Yes, the file was corrupted on my project disk. It still showed to be a .wav file. And, the file size looked normal. But, OSX wouldn't associate the file with any application, and I couldn't open the audio file in any other application. PT just showed it as a missing file. Did you try repair permis...

Oh right, you still use 10.3.9. I use a freeware convolution reverb called LAConvolver by Lernvall Audio but it's 10.4 onwards.

Could you use some other convolution reverb or was there something special about this one?

I think there's two sides to this: if your artistic vision requires that no plugins should be used then it makes sense to look for a mastering engineer who can accommodate that without feeling constrained. On the other hand, if you love the work a ME has done on a previous project and they use plugi...

Yes, piracy reduces sales. Yes, there is a real empirical link. In fact, the very data-point you quoted is itself evidence of that! It says, plainly and simply, that music fans both steal and buy. They do both, because both are options. There are very many ways to make theft less of a widespread op...

I think it's probably his own bias: he hears the instrument from the back so it sounds "warmer and rounder" to him than the recordings. I'd use dynamic mics and cheap tube amps that mush the bottom. Or you could try miking him from behind for a laugh...

Maybe it's obvious to you and me but I think this is actually quite significant. Because the copyright enforcement organisations say that this is unacceptable and they want to cut internet connection from everyone who does this. The whole argument for strong copyright enforcement hinges on if piracy...

Thomann sells headphones from a Taiwanese company called Superlux. These are basically copies of well known 'phones and they perform pretty much as well as you'd expect. I ordered several pairs for our edit suites and ENG operators. No one complained.

If it's old, old transformers then I wouldn't be surprised that even the ratios might change over time. The lacquer insulating the wound wire disintegrates over time and that might short out sections of it. Mechanical vibration over decades might loosen the coils. With a small transformer the surfac...

It's a punk band so I'm not too worried about sounding rude. It's a bit like the K-foundation burn a million quid. Except with something no one gives a toss about and 30 years too late. Though I bet you a pint someone digitizes the vinyl with a laser turntable and figures out an algorithm for removi...

Chris, do you mean it corrupted the file on your project disk? What's the file size like? Is it a physical read error (i.e. the file cannot even be copied, error 36 usually) or have the contents been mangled? If it's a physical read error then you could try these: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_...

Your cable alright? Impedance set right? Pads?

Do you have digital inputs in your mbox? You could get a stand-alone converter: www.ti.com/tool/pcm4222evm. There is also a pre-packaged version: http://www.rossmartinaudio.com/.

I've done a fair bit of TV location shoots with a Joeco and I liked it for what it did. What it did: you press rec and stuff goes in. That it did and it did it pretty well. If that's what you need then I'd recommend it. I used it with a Glyph raid disk and had it hooked to ADAT outputs on a Yamaha d...
