Hi all. This is my first post here and my name (GreenGuy) says it all... I'm green when it comes to this stuff.

I'm sure I'll have a lot of questions coming in the future.. but here's my first: If I record at 24bit/96, aproximately how many tracks will I be able to playback in Pro Tools with a 1.5GHz, 768mb ram, G4 Powerbook?

I bought a brand new Neumann TLM 103 from Guitar Center a little over a week ago and I really really don't like it. I bought it on GC's no payment for a year plan so it's not even paid off and I already hate it. They also have a no return policy on mics- so what should I do?

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone could tell me a site from where I could get free plugins for mastering especially I am looking for DSP plugins used with Direct X, If someone could help me in this regard, I would be thankful.

Thanks.

I am looking to beef up my Optical Compressor investments. I am currently looking at a either a Avalon 747 or a Avalon AD2044. I already know there are some obvious differences i.e. The 747 has a Graphic EQ in the chain, the 747 has a side chain option, the 747 only allows for linked operation (the two channels cannot be operated seperately). Many of their specs seem similar.

Hi all,

I'm a newbie and would really appreciate a little feedback, though I suspect I know the answer...

I'm not marvelous with computers by I can get by, my bro just put me together a new pc. The main purpose being so I can record a new CD for my band. I've done this before with Cakewalk HomeStudio 9 but I want to get a little more upmarket now.

Is anyone in the know about these? What are the bugs?

Im trying to set up my DAW for the best possible use. .

Hey ppl,
I am thinking of building a studio where most of my projects will be dubbing for ads n' or regional langauges.. So i definitely need to have Video support in the config..
I, being very comfortable with Pro Tools LE, am planning to buy that but due to the budget issues am pondering over the M-powered Pro Tools idea..

Hi all,

my computer is an iMac G4, 800 MHz CPU, 256 MB RAM.
All this time I was thinking - getting DP would give me reverbs, EQ's and compressors as plugins -- I'm covered.
