Wondering, why dont sequencers and the like have buit in SMPTE decoders. Steinberg products in this case. I would suppose having a SMPTE setup option where you define which audio input channel is recieving SMPTE. The decoding happens within the DAW.

that aside, which is the cheapest SMPTE - MTC stand alone converter in the market ?

Just wondering what's thought of mics such as the 106, 405 and 406. How do they compare with the current models?

Thanks

This is a topic I'd like to kick around with everyone who's involved with clients that use your professional services for CDs, etc.

Hi,

I'd like to know the BASIC recording, editing and mastering techniques. Nothing fancy.
I want to record acoustic guitar and vocals, just in my room.

My questions:

- Can I record with a mic directly in my soundcard or do I need a mixer or something like that?

i'm looking to buy a new soundcard to record multiple tracks. idealy 8 tracks at once. any suggestions? i have a Sony vaio 2AGHz, Pentium 4, 512MB, 120GB, i run Sonar 3 studio edition on it.

I'm in the market for a 2-channel compressor, preferably stereo-linkable... I'm a sucker for the tubey sound, but am open to suggestions...

I have been looking at the Drawmer stuff... the ts2d tubescreamer looks cool, but I have pretty good industry contacts and can get a 1968 mercenary for $1350 and can get similar hookups from other gear vendors (sorry to gloat :oops:)

Alright, well I have been lurking for quite a long time now and have taken in as much information as my little brain can handle. Here is my story. I am doing voice over and imaging work, but want to start doing it out my house. I own a Shure SM7 mic which is what I will be using. My computer is ready to go with AA 1.5, all I need to get is the m-audio 2496 for that.

i originally was planning on trying to snag an Aardvark Q10 off ebay for the studio i'm setting up for my school, but the folks here are kind of reluctant of spending that kind of money on used stuff, especially if it's an auction item, so i'm looking at alternatives. the Tascam fw1884 is a very attractive option, but a little pricey.

I am a newbie, lurked here for a month, no luck in finding out best way to add firewire to my system. Also would really appreciate specific card/wire recommendations for daw application.
This is what I have or is on the way (ordered):
PC 2.6G Celeron...can I limp by w/celeron until Pentium upgrade?
ACPI Uniprocessor
intel 82801DB
512 ram
