Hi friends..

I think it is already time to leave junior school, project days where I do everything with pluins, digital console and PT.

I do not want to sell one kidney, but which would you recommend me as a "pro" entry gear for more serious mastering?

I just do not want to be seen as "one more guy playing mastering stuff with plugins.."

Ive been playing guitar and piano for 8 years and have found other people to jam with about 2 years ago. I was asking people around about recording and someone suggested this site. so heres where I'm at. Now were at the point where we would like to do some recordings. Ive been using my computer with a santa cruz sound card (not meant of recording obviously).

Here's something I found interesting... I just picked up my latest complimentary copy of "MIX" from the mail box. (Thank You PRIMEDIA) I started thumbing through it and I spotted (for the first time) an ad for AMD Anthlon. Wow! A chip manufacturer that is actually going for the recording market! Duh!

Well I'm a little short on cash (read: short about $3000) so I only have an sb live (left and right channels on line in), a small 4 channel mixer, and a mic preamp-amp, a radio shack 3 mic passive mixer and 7 mics to use with this setup. I'm doing some cheap home recordings so I can remember this stuff when I can get a digi001 or C-port and an 8 bus mixer... you know the spiel.

i'm trying to figure out how to play the keys on my roland 307 so that they will record in a sequence on my MPC2000XL. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. I was able to do so with the Triton but i'm having trouble doing it with my roland for God (and you) only knows why! Please help.

Hi! Can somebody please shed a a lot of light on how to proberly midi up my MPC and Roland MC307. What i am tryin' to do is play the keys on the 307 and have them record into the sequence of my MPC. I've recently learned that i needed a mixer to do this (duh) and was successful at doing it with my friends Triton.

I finally mastered my first surround sound release for DVD-A. This was tons of fun. It really took a lot out of me mentally but i'm sure it will get easier the more I do it. This is kind of in response to Don's "will SACD restore dynamics" thread. If you have the monitors calibrated correctly and you monitor at a decent level, it's really uncomfortable to push it to the max.

I have PTHD, a Finalizer 96k (via AESEBU) and the Waves TDM. How can I setup a Project for MS mastering? Using the encoder/decoder of the Waves plugins, the 96k?

Thank's from catalonia.

Im a Cubase SX user with a SB live card on my comp. I was able to borrow a vocal and condenser mic from a friend of mine. I have a cord and an add on that will enable me to connect the condeser and the vocal mic to my computer for a recording session. Will this work or will i fry something?.
