Or should I say "to be or not to be".
the question, How many hard drives do you need in your PC system? 2 or 3?
I have heard that having one drive for your Windows 98SE, one for the apps and one for your audio data is the way to go. and if so, How do you hook it up as far as master and slaves? :confused: rocmuzic@aol.com

First of all I want to say Hi as your Computing moderator and welcome you all to this wonderful place to share and discuss the world of DAW recording.
I would like to start this off by having people post their optimixation techniques for their systems...Obviously there are little more tips for PC than Mac due to the nature of the OS differences and so forth..

Drummagog rules!

we should have an ftp site somehwere with drumagog ready drum samples made by users here!

I make bands that come in do all 24 hits per drum and so have quite a collection of them.
Anybody starts an FTP for it let me know and I will upload the ones I made :)

I am thinking about buying a Neve 1272 racked by Dan Alexander. I was wodering if anyone has seen his work? It seems to cost a lot less than the same thing racked by Brent Averill or DAvid Marquette. Just looking for some info.

I had a notion today. Why are fiber optics restricted soley to digital transmission? Wouldn't it be possible to send analog audio over a glass fiber optic cable? Is anyone working on this? Or are the transmiters/recievers not clean enuff compared to electrical analog audio?

I'm looking to buy some mics for home studio purposes (vocals, guitar,...) in a 8 channel HD-recording setup. I'm planning to use my Tascam 1508(?) for mic preamp's. I'd spend about $800 to get some mics. I can't afford the big bucks for getting a Neumann etc.

Many "pop" songs I have been listening to recently

e.g. "Here with Me" by Dido
or "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia

and a lot of backstreet/nsync/britney-esque songs start with a fairly low level drum/percussion loop, and then later the main drums (big kick and snare) come in over the top.

Anyone know where a couple of these puppies can be had?
I know VK has some but...
Fletcher? maybe?
ftwdk these are Helios 760 compressors.
thanks-Mike

PS. please no stories about "cover engineering" it's quite childish.
or "rarer than hens teeth" may stay home as well.,
