I have some very basic questions about Cakewalk Home Studio 2004(I'm building a home PC based studio for the first time):
Firstly, I'm confused about the drum and synth capabilites. .can the drums be programmed and played back without anything other than the software and soundcard; ditto for the synths? Or are these features solely intended for midi plugins

Hi all,
Thinking of getting Dynaudio's BM6, but what amp is sufficient? The spec say minimum of 40W?
So double to 80 would probably be safe.
would the Hafler P1500 be enough, I think its 150W
in 8 ohms.
Actually I'd like to get the Bm6A, but the funds aren't up to par. would it make that much of difference? Upgrading from Event PS8.

Thanks.

What is your favorite dedicated outboard De-esser (not plugins)? I've been looking at the dbx 902, Drawmer MX50, SPL. Which would you choose? I was also looking at the dbx 263x but I believe in is unbalanced is it not?

hi i've been searching for quite a while now for a good versatile transformerless valve D.I for bass keyboards and all
do you guys offer anything like that/?
i like transformerless for its tight response

Hey Everybody,
I have a few questions that are specific and have to do with mixing analog out of my 001. I have searched and found nothing helpful. First my setup, then the questions:

Digi 001
Alesis AI3 for ADAT I/O
Lucid 24/96
Midas Venice
Outboard comps: 1176, Valley People 2-610, RNC (2)
P4 2.6 Ghz, 512 ram, 400 mhz FSB

DISCLAIMER:
OK, my project is low end, low budget. I am doing this for a buddy in exchange for his help on another project. This is the first thing I have recorded and engineered and mixed and I am doing it all in our new home studio. However, I want to do as good of a job as I can...
END DISCLAIMER

I'm just curious on what other people are doing for this. I have a cakewalk Sonar 3.0 producer edition recording platform. I'm using the Delta 1010lt cards for audio input and an allen and heath mixwizard 16 for my mic preamps . My specific question has to do with mixdown. I wanted to find out how other people do this.

I see articles & read stories about the quality of converters in various pieces of gear. If one can't afford an Apogee or Lucent or equivalent, could you improvise with something like your CD recorder or anything that would AD/DA your signal? Of course the signal would stay all digital but has anyone tried or used this as their norm for general mastering?

Hi...

I can't see the Alecio Costa's name in the Mediators Team...
And I never more have seen his name in the forum...

What is happening ?

Alecio, where are you ? :)

Thanx!

During final mixdown to 2-track - is there any loss of sonic quality if the master fader on the console is not at 0dB?

I think I'm hearing a slight degradation in sound, but maybe it's just me?

Thanks, Dingo
