What is the best sample library/ utility for orchestral mockups and scoring type applications? I'm looking for fidelity as well as functionality.

Hey, i'm very new in the world of surround mixing. I was wondering what are the requirements.
Is the any way to use the Realtek ALC850 on Nuendo for 5.1?
If not, what sound card do you recommend?

Hope someone can help me, thanx!

I'm looking at Sony MDR7506 and MDRV600 headphones to use when I'm out with my portable rig. And obviously use monitors for the final mixdown! ha

Okay, don't rip me apart too hard on this one...

Ok so i was sitting in on a logic recording session and i remember the engineer saying

" You will have to change the
buffer settings in logic audio preferrences in order to record "
as i was taking in a thousand other studio quirks and rooting paths etc i was only half on the ball... i know terrible hey.

My question is firstly

The resaon I'm asking this is two part. 1. I'm currently running Logic 5.5.1 on PC and will soon be moving to Mac to upgrade to the latest version of logic but I want to buy a UAD-1 now to use on current projects. 2. As I have to buy the UAD-1(pci) to work in my current system, will it work also on the newest Macs? Or do you have to purchase the UAD-1e(pci express) for the new Macs.

I am looking for a good Compressor/Limiter plug In for mastering.

One kind of like Sony's Wavehammer with these options.
Options:
Has an Input Gain fader(Wavehammer does not)
Allows Peak and RMS Compression
Ratios up to 50:1 or higher if possible.
Offers a Limiter to limit the Output

Hi, does anyone know how to automize the proyect tempo (metronome) in Nuendo?

I need encouraging. I'm after the 'Shadows-guitar' type reverb effect. You know, sixties type of thing. Now I'm considering two different approaches: the better sounding is to record already effected guitar sound, I just love what a good old Voice combo does to a reverb/delay effect.

I did some searching and didn't really find anything that matched my setup/problem. I was using an 828 along with a Mackie CFX-20 for the pres/monitoring for the longest time, until recently I upgraded my computer to a home built. I also upgraded my interface to a MOTU 2408 mkIII PCIe and removed the mixer from the equation. I picked up a used Focusrite Octopre and installed the digital card.
