I was speaking to an engineer who briefly was talking about how much of a pain it is to mix for mp3, I didn't get a chance to further ask him about it, but it seems interesting enough, or at least to mix for streaming music (ie. Myspace, download.com etc).

Anyone delve into this relatively new art of mixing for the streaming mp3 format?

Does anyone have any info on this? I know the Komplete stuff isn't 64 bit, but does that matter?
And while I'm on the subject, if the app can address more RAM, does it matter if the plugs are still 32 bit? Could multiple instances of 32 bit plugs address different (and more than 2 gigs worth of) RAM?
Would using a 64 bit os have any effect on this?

Thanks.

Hey, I have a zoom multitrack that allows you to record 6 tracks simultaneously. The zoom recorders have awesome effects for the guitar and plugging my guitar direct is good for recording instead of Micing the cab. But when you record in 6 track mode you cant use the effects. You cant assign an effect for each track in multi track mode and I want to record two guitars at once.

Drawmer MX60. .

It looks like a nice piece of gear for a front end to a digital workstation.

Does anybody have experience with it?

Many features, it looks like it would work well with vocals, instruments and electronic drums to give a more "REALISTIC" sound.

Digital is digital and I can hear the difference very easily.

Hey all,
I am a bit confused about a few things..

I have been using fruityloops (fl studio) for some time, along side acid pro 3 (don't laugh), recycle and then importing all of this into Sonar 6PE. It all works very well, but it seems a bit long winded.

I know it's a big part of every serious studio but can anyone explain to me what it is or maybe provide a link?
Thanks

While mixing down, occasionally the light on the MSP 5s will flash red or orange (probably a quicker flash of red) when a harder transient is hit.

Can anyone offer suggestions as to best how to use Waves De Ess?
Suggested starting points orthe best way to zero in on the offending frequency. What mode etc?
Thanks...

So as many of you know, I do not run on Pro Tools. I got a session to mix recently, and I was wondering if there is a way to batch mixdown (as in mixdown all at once) each individual track, to save time. Rather than highlight each track, or solo each track and click bounce to disc.

Apple has released Logic Studio and Logic Express 8.

They are priced very well at $499 and $199. I will be picking up a copy very soon. I've been waiting for 8 to come out before purchasing Logic, and was not looking forward to the old $1200 price tag.

Has anyone taken the plunge? What do you think?
