Hi there a friend of my gave me a Yamaha NS-W2 powered sub butt it dont seem to be workin right.

Has anyone heard the new Focusrite Pre Pack yet? It's got 4 channels of Neve pres. Looks pretty sweet. Comments?

This is where the fun begins. I've always liked a good challenge. Getting the BPM's right, editing & locking samples into your project, then programming a def beat on your drum machine or sound module that'll give it that drive. Does anybody have any special techniques that they reley on or work with that they don't mind sharing with the rest of us that are "novices" ? :w:

Question. does Win XP Pro have some sort of copy protection that's affected whenever digital audio is being transfered via S/PDIF coax, lightpipe, or AES/EBU? After going into some admin. options, I found a few things that I think might affect the multimedia options within XP. Hav'nt tried anything yet but wanted to get an opinion from someone a little more experienced with this kind of stuff.

O.K., I want to try something here that some of you might take exception to, but let's give it a try. Let's say we have recorded a bluegrass group (banjo, guitar, mandolin and bass). Everything was tracked well, and there's no major problems with sound (they were all recorded perfectly).

My friend just got his record mastered here in Austin that the mastering engineer was ranting about how XP was not the way to go and that 2000 was the only choice for the mastering pros.

I think Howy Wienberg's name came up as a 2000 advocate.

Any comments. I have found XP to be more stable and have been audio support. ACPI is also a nice advantage, more IRQs!

Merging linux with computing

I would like to thank everyone that contributed to this forum and an extra big thanks to the mods for all the effort. Because The linux forum is slow so I'm merging it with Opus's forum in the next 24 hours. One computing forum seems sufficient.

Cheers!

Ok…admittedly I am a rank recording beginner, and need some direction with a hardware / software compatibility issue. I play in a little local band and we do some home studio recording on a M-Audio Delta 1010 using Cool Edit Pro 2. This is great for the band but I want to have “noodling” capability and a song development tool in my house.

It is now time for the wise to conspire, to put forth lauditories, and for the uninitiated to be, well, initiated. Granted, the teen years are the best time to be exposed to Led Zeppelin, before the jazz sets in or lyrics need to be good, but I refuse to think it's too late for anyone.

My soundcard will only allow 4 inputs at once. I need six. I'm wondering if I used a Y cable to get the extra modules into the Computer? Or could I get into problems? I thought of buying a small Behringer mixer to do it. But then I figured I could save a few bucks and just use a Y cable.

I assume plugging a Insert cable(TRS) into a mono input is OK?
