Hey Gaff and others,

Hi,

I would be very grateful if someone with immensely more knowledge about these things than me, could tell what else I need to buy in order to get myself up and running... do I need a sound card or is there one already in the back of the G4 powerbook? Any recommendations as to what MIDI keyboard / interface I could go with would be most welcome. Many thanks for your help. John

Hi,
I need some advice on mixing music for TV - it's nothing fancy, just stereo with mono compatability. I'm wondering if I need to leave a 'hole' in the center of the mix for voice over to fit into; and just how far I can go to left and right with panning.

Any tips on EQ, balance issues or anything else would be much appreciated.

Seb, a quick two tumbs up on the delivery of the VMP 2000e VU. It sound great and looks awesome too! I look forward to using this with Tarra, a new Canadian female artist I will be recording all with Sebatron .

Thanks bud! 8-)

i know there is probably no right or wrong answer. but when mastering a stereo track through hardware which is better from those of have the experience, eq then compress, or compress than eq?

i am experimenting on mastering to a 1/2" tape machine, and wanted to know my best hardware or software routing for a final dump down.

Posted this in another thread, but it got missed.. so here it is again!

Can each section of the Thorax be accessed separately, ala the Origin and Quartet? Can a pair of Thorax (Thoraxes.. Thoraxi?) be connected to use the compressors as a stereo pair?

Also - can the EQ be swapped to go after the compressor.

Thanks!

Im new to the board, but ran into a consistant problem today the last couple of days. I've been using a G4 dual processsor OS X 10.2.8, Mbox w/PT LE 6.2.1 for the last year. Well It started crashing at the start up of the PT launch program. (the unexpected quit msg) I trashed all the preferences and just about everything Digidesign forums says to do.

Hey I'm wondering if there are any plugins out there that can kill or get rid of reverb in a track or in the mix. I have heard of trans X from Wavesbut i dont have that kinda money for the kit, is there anything free i can use to Kill or remove reverb from the mix? Any Thing? Ill take a look at demos too if any of you know of things i can download that would be great.
