I do recordings on location to a 2-track Sony dat tape deck. I also work in the it business, where we use DDS (Digital Data Storage) tapes for system backups.

What is the difference between this two cartrigdes, Digital Audio Tapes (DAT) and DDS Tapes as mentioned above? Is there any difference in quality?

Both of them seems to work fine with my tape deck?

Is there a difference in quality when using a silver CD as opposed to different colored ones when burning music from pro tools? With the colored or dyed ones they don't seem to play on certain players especially the car CD. I want to find the best that's out there. Thanks for listening. You guys always seem to know the answer. :?:

This audio card is now $250.00 and will be even lower in just a few months.

Hi, i recently did a mix and "master" for a band i recorded. I'm finding the lows to be boomy especially on the kick drum and bass guitar, this might have as simple a solution as turning down the bass freqs, but i'm not quite able to do this without losing all the bass freqs entirely.

Hi there,

Can anyone in here honestly say that he/she doesn't hear any difference when comparing AES/EBU with SPDIF?

...regartless of equipment and/or if you have loads of "jitter-removal/reclocking boxes".

I hear a difference when comparing these two formats, do you?

Hi guys,

I found a site about mastering here in Denmark:
http://www.mastertouch.dk

What do you think about it? have you any ideas of what that should and shouldn't be on a ME-site?

It would be great to get some inputs to use for my own site...

Best Regards,

I've been using Taiyo Yuden CDRs with great success. Out of about 200 standard silver/blue CDRs, none have had issues. Out of about 100 white inkjet printable, again, no issues. Can't ask for any better than that...

Hi,friends!
Based on the over compressed CDs being released nowadays, when was the golden era of CD Mastering?

I remember nice CDs like Tears For Fears "Sowing the Seeds of Love" and "Elemental" and Rush's "Power Windows" sounding pretty nice and not overly compressed.
