Greetings Citizens of Earth-

background:

sitting here another morning before I tread off to my afternoon weasel gig - I recollect the events of a previous night's session. One remining me just how much you can do with a few good pieces of gear when you take the time to really use it.

** I ALSO POSTED THIS ON THE "PRO TALK FORUM" SO IF YOU SAW IT OVER THERE, PLEASE DISREGARD THIS!

background:

Because the "Mix Fest 2001" information is scattered over many different threads across multiple RO pages, it can be difficult to find what you might be looking for. Here is most of the stuff you might want to reference. If any new decisions and announcements are made, please add a reply with a copy of any new reference information to this thread.

hi all,

i have heard great things about the empirical labs stuff - the distressor and FATSO. i have budgeted some money for some new gear and was wondering...

if you had to choose one or the other, which would it be?

(i have a PT setup)

thanks

I'm curious to know how many people connect the direct outs of their desks to the multitrack ins and how many connect the desk bus outputs? Does anyone use a combination of both?

I have to admit, this is the most positively interactive forum I've been on, largely thanks to Mixerman's "short courses" in mixing land. Seems to me that everything he's brought up here as an excercise has been really helpful in each of us coming to know the other better.

Not that I disagree with the sentiment, but then what's a "rough mix"? I consider my mix done when I've done my best with it, but I'm pretty darned certain that doesn't mean I've mastered it. Are you talking about leveling/normalization, or anything to do with the two track AFTER initial mixdown?

Hi I am having problems hooking up a S/PDIF cable to my hammerfall 9636 card and my Tascam da-30 dat machine. All I hear is white noise coming out of the RMEcard. I am using a 75 ohm (I think) monster video cable. I also tried a regular audio rca cable and was getting a cliping sound over and over again. I also wasnt to thrilled in my hunt to find this little piece of text.
