Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out the best way to get SDII, AIFF, etc. to my D/A's. Furthermore, I'd like to be able to use an IBook to do this. What are my options for external interface cards that have the proper computer connections and AES or SPIDF outs? I don't need more than stereo either. Should I just get a desktop and a soundcard?

I've been working for a year now with NS-10s on one room and krk k-rok on another. The NS-10s have a small sub to help the bass. Althogh I like the krk's I keep coming back to the 10's and I'm always shocked at the difference - in comparison the 10's sound muffled but somehow they highlight problems that the krk's don't (levels, reverb lengths and low-mid junk).

Lately clients have been asking me for recommendations as to which of the current crop of hardware hard disk recorders they should buy. Their goal is to be able to take mixes of rhythm tracks, etc. that they do in my studio back to their "bedroom" so that they can add some overdubs at their leisure, without the pressure of my clock running.

I have a DA-88 with a broken transport.
My question...

Can I use a PCI-822 TDIF,and my computer HD to capture my tracks instead of the tape?. What software would I need.

I just want to use the DA/AD converters in the DA-88 and capture up to 8 tracks at a time to HD
Advice please
Jeff

first off, I'm very excited about this site and appreciate the oppertunity to join it.

I would like to know if anybody can tell me the going price for a Lexicon PCM 70.

Thanks and keep up the great posts! :w:

I see a lot of posts from folks who hate the stock Pro Tools converters. I've seen Pro Tools used in our C room for years without anyone bringing in any converters or anything. Most just go from SSL through some vintage comps or 2" right into Pro Tools w/ (3) 888/24. They keep it on PT and mix w/ direct outs to the SSL to 1/2". Sounds great.

How much can I accomplish or how far can I really go, production wise, in home recording strictly on a pc?

Anybody know of any good magazines out there for beginners to the home studio thing?

I am a pretty bad guitar player, wanting to get into diy recording. I have cakewalk's home studio & clubtracks. These programs are fine I guess, but I am thinking of upgrading to something like Sonar or maybe one of rolands v studios. My question is this, what do I really need multiple I/O's for.

Howdy

Happy Holidays, loyal readers!
