I thought the folks here might get a kick out of the slideshow at the Library of Congress website which shows how archival recordings were digitized for the National Jukebox...

Hi,

I have just setup a new HP computer based on AVIDs "requirements" in conjunction with Pro Tools 9, Focusrite Sapphire 56, and a Mackie Blackbird. All computer settings have been set as Avid recomended on their Windows 7 Optimizations setup.

This is the first time using Pro Tools but I'm on day 2 with everything up and running and recording except...

I'm currently in the mixing/editing process of producing my bands first ep and am having trouble finding the right effect. The beginning of the song has an ambient piano part with a snare rI'm part that is playing triplets. I've been putting reverb and different phasers on it and am having trouble getting the right sound without it sounding cheesy.

First, a suggestion to the site mods/ admin:

Hi there. I've been using a demo of reaper recently and have found it wonderful, but can't seem to figure out if separate tracks can have individual I/O.

One of the helpful things I found in Sonar was that each track had its own I/O, and Reaper has only two inputs/outputs from the preferences menu. (Trying to switch over to reaper, Sonar lags and crashes too much)

I have had two setups but I want better quality. My last setup was an Audio-Technica at2020 condenser mic and I had it plugged up to a nice sized mixer that was plugged into my computer through the soundcard. I was recording with cool edit pro. I want PROO QUALITY! This studio setup will be used for rap music. I really need help. Let me know where to start. Like should I get an mBox?

Hi guys I'm having a pro tools problem driving me crazy :mad:

I'm using win xp(pack 2) with pro tools 6.4 and digi 001.
There's no problem with digi 001 cause this problem only happens on an especific situation.
Here's the problem =

60v summing had me and now 120v mixing is opening up new possibilities. What do you think?

My brother in law just recently sent me a computer (DELL optiplex GX620)
specs :Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.80 GHZ 3.80GHZ. 2gs of RAM64 bit OS..I have hyperthreading as well running windows 7.

To sum up the background if you just want to skip to the numbered questions: I have mid-low or economy class instruments, think a garage band with 2 electric-acoustics, bass, drums, keyboard, 2 mics.
