I am looking forward in getting it. Just need some rates and reviews on the spec of the thing.

thanks!

Hey people I just joined the site today after looking at posts for two days. Anyway, I have just started to build my own project studio over the past week. The equipment I have is this:

I'm going to upgrade soon and purchase a new machine. The last one I bought was a P III with a lot of RAM and Win XP from HP. I'm wondering is there anywhere you can get Laptops built specifically with Music Production in mind? Any web links are appreciated, bearing in my I'm in Ireland so US stores mightn't be much help to me.

Hey Gang

I've had a good trawl through some posts and it seems that the Gigabyte K8ns Ultra 939 is a mobo of choice for the AMD 64bit 939..

(Gonna be using RME cards)

Question...Is the Winchester the preferable beast, and what is the current du jor model for blistering VSTi performance? Also, any other recommendations for mobo's? Any pratfalls to look out for?

hi,
after i use a compressor there is a level drop. it is normal of couse:) But how should I adjust the volume of a track to compensate a level drop? With compressor's gain control? But what amout? Or it is better to do with track's volume slider?

thanks

Hello to all you acoustic gurus, I'm having a hard time finding a good, solid place for the acoustic bass in my mix. When I listen to the track alone, it sounds relatively healthy, but once it's in the mix, some parts pop out and some just get burried! :(

Would cutting low and add some mid-high help?

So if you had finite resources, say $1000-1500, would you:

A) Spend most of it on a decent clean amp and then spend way less on 'okay' monitors.

B) Spend all you could on great monitors and then just get an 'okay' amplifier to drive them.

C) spend the dough on a set of active monitors.

Well, this is my first post on this forum, and it's about converting a coaxial S/PDIF signal to an optical signal. I am getting a PowerMac G5 (which has an S/PDIF optical in) and i have an Apogee Mini-me (which has coaxial S/PDIF, XLR AES/EBU, and usb outputs). I do not want to be limited to 24-bit 48khz from the Mini-me's usb output.

What are the quality of the preamps on the Emu 1820M? How would they compare with something like M-Audio DMP3? Is it likely that the 1616M will have the same preamps? Thanks
