I was curious if anyone has had any "hands on" with the Crane Song Spider . how was it? The second coming of Christ or just another day in land of 0's & 1's? Seems like quite the package with a high bang for the buck factor, if you can muster up that kind of green.

Thanks,

Hi.
OK, I am getting a Lucid Genx-6, to use as a word clock source for two PC's running hammerfalls, a Yamaha AW4416, and external converters.

My question is, should all the cables from the Genx-6 be the same length (in which case they would all have to be 3 metres), or can I have different lengths varying from 50cm or 1 metre, up to three metres?

thanks

OK everyone tell me why I shouldnt go. 13 months and i can have an associates and be way further down the road to doing something in the "industry" ( i know i won't know sh*t...that it takes real world experience but its a start).

..anyone know the difference between API 550 EQ and the 550A ?I know the 550B has 4 bands, whereas the first 2 have 3, but what else ?

I just came across this:

Joemeek announces revolutionary new microphone preamplifier technology.
The "CurrentSense" microphone amplifier.
It's on http://www.joemeek.com

And the Joemeek people say (of course) that it is a brand new way of pre-amplification.

My questions:

I've thought about purchasing two HDs, and having them mirror each other. Has anyone tried this; I'm worried about it hogging cpu time while recording, etc. It seems to me that mirroring my audio drive would be an easy back up solution since I record something new very frequently, and the price of HDs falling. If one drive fails I have another one ready to go with minimal down time.

I saw a post in which you mention ordering RAM in a PC, largest first. Can you please explain the reason for this ?
Thanks

Im just now getting into recording other people other than my friends bands and own projects. The project I'm working on now is a full length LP (yes vinyl... no clue why) for a punk rock band. Everything is recorded and now we're mixing and they want to ruin the whole mix. For some reason they hate mids. They want everything "scooped".

I just did a session tonight where i had to fill in for an engineer who cancelled...dumbass! lol

what file formats can be opened or imported into Pro Tools (and Pro Tools LE if you know). What information is in an OMF file? Thanks for your help.
