Hi? I've been trying to solve this problem for long enough and I'm close to giving up. Here goes. I am trying to sync my Akai MPC 2000 XL, my keyboard, and Nuendo through midi( MTC at 30 fps and midi clock). My aI'm is to record one track at a time on Nuendo, record one track( like a kick drum) then go back and record another( like a snare) so they all are on seperate tracks.

I'm thinking about postponing my upcomging P4 (GNUS) machine to wait for the new 133/533 bus, and give it some time to test out and let prices fall to boot...

Hi,

Over in another thread Doublehelix advised:
First off, if you are going with a PC, stay away from MOTU...they specialize in Macs, and have a pretty shoody reputation with PC drivers...

Are there rampant known horror stories about trying to use the MOTU 2408 MkII in a Windows PC?

so I'm word clock generator shopping...Aardsync, Apogee, Lucid, yadda yadda...

the Aardsync is probably the most recommended, but what about Lucid? some of their smaller boxes seem about the same for a few hundred $$$ less than the Aardsync. anybody have bad run-in's with Lucid clocks?

Ok so I'm not a huge fan of crazy amounts of compression, but people want a lot of it, especially when you record mostly heavy rock like i do.

My problem is I feel like compression and limiting dont seem to take well to my mixes. When i get stuff back from mastering its still not INCREDIBLY loud, but i can hear all the compression artifacts and feel like my mix fell apart.

I'm trying to nail a guitar sound. A sort of 1980's jcm 800 type thing. Some good examples would be bands like Zeke or The Dwarves even Turbonegro (if you can dig those albums up). Anyway, I can't seem to even come close to what I'm after. Do I need more than the Pod Pro, the Digi 001 and the Joemeek compression plugin ? Do I need to purchase some more hardware?

Would like to know experiences with the Aphex Compellor 320A. I like what I read about the colorless compression.

I am not looking for Excitors. Just a very great clean multi band compressor.

I would like to have four units if they are good.

Anyone tried the daking mic preamp and eq combo?
