Re: Is timecode sync necessary for locking up frames?
I finally figured out what the hell I'm doing with my Radar II and Motu 2408. So . . . the digital transfer is going on via TDIF cables. The wordclock master is the Radar. Everything sounds pretty damn good after a transfer. I'm just wondering if the copying of digital information going back and fo...

Re: Any really Great replacement for Pultec Bundle?
I find the pultec eqs that are included in the pultec bundle to be absolutely a must have as far as mixing with the real outboard original versions of these units. Therefore, when I go to mix ITB, I also find them to work exactly like I would use them with a console as outboard pieces. However, is ...

people who need side-by-side comparisons or "double-blind A/B testing" of everything either have problems with their memory or they don't record enough. if I put up a new pre on snare, I can tell pretty instantly if I like it more or less than preamps that I use regularly. Just plug shit in and lis...

ARRRGGHHHH. i am in computer hell this week. new rig - new problems. my set up is that the LCD is above and directly behind my console. about 4 feet from my face. a typical computer desk would have you a lot closer - maybe 2 feet max from the screen so this is further than that obviously. i just go...

Re: Pushing the band
Painful. I started an album project last week and it's going great. I'll be busy for at least month doing this. The band are playing great. Yesterday, I got a voicemail from a member of a band I had a painful experience working with a few years back. There were 4 great musicians in the band and one...

Re: How to draw the line between demo and full-out recording
Hey all, I have a bit of a connundrum for you all. I was considdering offering a five-song demo package for a certain amount, when it occurred to me: how the heck do I determine when to draw the line on how much work I put in? I could easily see people taking advantage of a said offer if I am not g...

Re: setup time.
If you get a message from a potential client saying "also with setup time, I don't want you to be taking 2 hours with this because I'm paying by the hour" in a stern tone, as if they're some nun at a catholic school from the 60s.. This same person has asked if I were "connected" with anyone who cou...

That can work, as long as you have spares. Maybe find out what stuff fails the most on these mixers, and try to get some spare components from an electronic supply shop.themagicmanmdt wrote:i'm theorizing of just swapping out things that don't work from cards with things that do work - most notably op amps.

did some troubleshooting, and read and re-read the manual. the buss routing is just *different* on my board (a Sound Workshop 1280), so there's no cause for alarm. it's just kind of rediculous. buss 7-8 IS the 2trk, yet on the board, they SEEM to be two different things, but they're not. only thing...

Hi, rehearse...then rehearse some more, and when you're done, rehearse some more. Repeat until you and whomever you are going to track with can play all the basic tracks with your eyes closed. This will make it possible for you to lay down two good takes of each song, and take it home afterwards to ...

Re: what is the best way to hook up a preamp/comp/interface?
hey, i just got a new chandler germanium pre and a FMR RNC. i am wondering what the best way to run the signal is? my apogee ensemble has 2 send/returns, but should i just go mic>pre>comp>ensemble?
