I'm getting a laptop for running Logic Audio, with either a MOTU or RME interface. I'll mainly be using it for (hopefully) lots of EXS24s plus other virtual instruments and only a few (<8) tracks of continuous audio as I have a seperate system for audio.

Hi,

is there anybody still using ADATs? I kept an LX 20 for Back Ups of my hard-disk recorders. I need to back up my hard-drives today and the machine simply won't record. All tracks record enabled, press Rec. and Play the thing starts to roll but the rec. button keeps blinking and nothing is recorded. Anyone knows this problem or has dealt with it? Any help is greatly appreciated!

So what are you guys using as drum mics and pres?

Thinking about another dual pre for my Kick and Snare.
I a/b my pres with the kit and liked the Buzz and UA on everything. Although only have one spare UA channel and use the Buzz for Overheads.

Here goes mine.

Let me try to explain what I'm looking for.

Multi-band compression is fun and can bring out the sparkle in a recording, but I hate the lack of control of EXACTLY what happens, plus the fact its added late (generally in mastering) as a sort of "Band aid" thing.

Firstly, I want band prioritizing. For example, take a kickdrum. Its a "Klick" and a "boom". Fine.

Hey- I'm putting together a new win2k PC, and wanted some input on my choices so far- apparently I just hit some arcane multibutton function, and got kicked out, so it's possible you all will see the first half of a similar post- sorry, if so...

Now here's a question I would love an answer to:

For the sake of debate, I know it starts with tuning, player, placement, etc. The focus of this thread is 100% drums in banks of 8. Budget is negotiable, but lets assume you have $10,000 total. Do you keep some money, or spend it?

I KNOW the benefits of format d: /z:64 on fat 32 partitions for audio

BUT

I am now reformatting a 3 disk softraid system which HAS to be NTFS...is there a benefit to formatting these at 64k? what would be ideal?

Hello all, this is my first post, but I've reading here and there the last few days . You have a nice place here :-)
