Hello all,

I'm considering Paris for a project studio and was looking for comments on the difference in the 20 and 24 bit inputs.

I'm really trying to decide whether a Bundle 2 setup will serve OK or whether I might as well start w a Bundle 3.

Are there many users happy with a Bundle 2? It sounds like the MEC and Bundle 3 is the starting point for most everyone.

Hey Fletcher, congrats on the forum man, now I've got another heavyweight to harass with questions :D :D

It's awesome that you're on RO!
...and I LOVE Mercenary!

...but anyway TRACKING and Mixing drums. What's a nice collection of comps ($200-$4000 range) for, let's say, in yer face-poundin-smack ya in the chest-punch ya in the stomach kinda rock'n'roll?

Hey Fletcher,
It's a pleasure to have you here.
I'm starting up a PC-based DAW in my home in Natick, and am eyeballing that little FMR Really Nice Compressor, both for it's price, and for the good rap it's getting. I know you guys sell'em over at Merc., so I was wondering what your take is on them. Is there any better deal in it's class/price range?
Thanks,

Hey, I thought I'd bug you guys with my usual sillyness since this forum is open to anybody.
So, here we go:
Why is tube gear(the real thing, not the hybrid crap) so expensive? Building a tube comp costs as much as a FET or VCA comp.
Time invested in research and developpement?

Wow, this is KEWL...I'm the first one to post in DAW World!
I bought Digi001 a year ago, my first DAW. I'm very happy that I went that route. At the time, Digi still didn't have 001 available for PC, so I had to buy a MAC to run it, Thank God. I didn't have to make the PC vs MAC decision. I love my MAC. Since then, I got a cheap PC for internet, and 'it
just aint a MAC'.

stealth serial, OMS 2.3.8, Emagic AMT8 and
Pro Tools 5.0.1

oms setup - OK

G4 and the HUI. but HUI does not boot properly.

:confused:

I’ve heard the quote “writing about music is like dancing about architecture” attributed to Frank Zappa on more than one occasion. I suppose that’s true...if it is, then writing about audio can be akin to “dancing an elevator shaft”. Audio, while a necessary component of recorded music, has damn little use on it’s own [imagine a building that was just an elevator?

upgrading my 9600/200 ? any help :)

No, this isn't about when you got taken out of commission after kissing that cute girl in high school. I'm wondering whether anyone is working on mono regularly. Leave it to da Bear to be weird enough to go from two tracks to one when lots of folks are going to 5.1 tracks (not technically correct, I know). But let me run through my delusional thoughts.
