A friend of mine would like to transfer his old cassette tapes into his computer. Unfortunately, since I'm a mac user, I'm not too familiar with any PC recording software. Pro Tools Free won't run on Windows XP. Any recommendations? Thanks.

I'm just beginning to move out of the Omni/Io phase of recording into the realm of better pres and effects,at this point my best pre is a Joemeek VC1Q.Beyond other upgrades in preamps,one of the things I'm looking to do is introduce the use of EQ into the basic setup I have now.My question is,what if any difference is there between using mono EQ across a bus as a kind of psudo master,

Understanding this to be an overly broad question,what is the best method to get top quality bass and drum samples?

Is it the sampler route,the soundfont route,the drum machine route,or someting else entirely?

What are the most common hardware devices like keyboards,like kurzweill,emu etc. .What are the various pros and cons in going that route?

hi,

Hey guys,

I have a Aardvark I/O and it has 4 inserts. I need to add another compressor but I have run out of inserts.

Is there any problem in going from the mic to the compressor and then to the mic input? My best guess is that it puts the compressor before the preamp, just not sure of this is a problem.

Thanks
Mark

I am a very inexperienced rookie when it comes to recording and I don't quite get the concept of phase cancellation. Could someone give me a rough explanation? thanks.

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I couldn't believe it when I saw your screen name! I've used that screen name many times over the years! Unfortunately, we're going to have to fight. I'm sorry, I see no other way. Where do you live?
Just kidding of course, but I'm curious as to how you came up with it. Curious in a FRIENDLY way :)

Hi,
Hope someone can point out a few tips to make this work right

Goal, set up a few " Live monitor" templates in Sam 7 with my UAD 1

one vocal track, one guitar track,

I'd like to sing live, monitor the affects and feed that to my other pc, for Live singing,,

P4,, 3.0 PC, RME HSDP 9652, and ADI 8 pros DS

I'm no a complete newbie, but I know this really sounds like it. Can someone clarify for me: I'm working at a studio where they have a keyboard out (balanced 1/4") patched straight into a patch-bay, then straight into the D/A of the HD interface. The signal always seems quite low and I'm wondering, is that the best impedence matching way to go? No console/pre-amp?
