I was just given a reel of Ampex 456 at +3/250 15 ips recorded in 1982 to replace a vocal track and mix. My MCI is setup for +6/250 30ips.

(1) How do/will I know if the tape will require baking.
(2) How will I need to set up the MCI. If I switch to IEC will this be sufficent for record (1 or 2 tracks) and playback?

Here's the problem: When I mix my instruments together, they lose their individuality. Everything seems to run together and turn into a pile of mush with no clarity or space for each instrument. They all seem to blur together and lose definition.
If I were working with lots of tracks and dense mixes, maybe I could understand. But all I've got is usually:

Hi Brad,

PT looks to go 96k any comments on the SRC needed to get'down' to make a normal CD?

Pitfalls?

Tips?

:)

Whoa!

Well, I am pretty blown away right now! I got the Universal Audio UAD-1 DSP card with their Powered plugins..Amazing! :) They give you a bunch of presets to get started with, and it is actually pretty logical to tweak once you get started...it just looks kinda intimidating at first!

Hi,

For the ones interested, I started this pyramix-users group on yahoo:

Well, we pretty much know what the new hardware from Digi will be. From the specs it looks like a serious jump. I was expecting PT to go to 96k with support for 192k but I wasn't expecting an actual 192k system. At this point in time I'm not sure that the benefits of 192k over 96k will be worth the file sizes/proccessing cost.

I've been experimenting with getting my computer to make less noise. I'll talk about the stuff I've done so far.

man, ain't this some sh*t. .

Hi, I've been mastering on a Sonic ssp system for about five years and had very little problems until recently. In the last few months the rate of CD's returned from duplication plants for "uncorrectable errors" has risen to about 20%. When I supply a new master cut on the same system the job finishes successfully but I'm concerned that my Sony 920 and 924 burners have seen better days.

I've recently started using Steinberg's Wavelab.
I want to use it to create samples for my sampler but am having problems understanding the PDF's explanation on how this is done. It's not very clear.
A- I want to set loop points within the samples but am not sure how to set this up step by step.
