So I JUST did a demo for a band. Just a quick two song thing, couple hours out the door, bye. Two nights ago I led the singer into the iso booth to do his vox. He could not grasp the concept of staying within 5 feet of the mic. He literally would whisper at two feet and shout at two inches, and insisted he was not conscious of his actions.

Hi everyone,

Hello everyone,

Just got back from vacation in Europe. It was great. I am taking part in the mastering forum at this weekends Tape Op conference in Portland Or. If any of you are planning on going let me know.

It should be a very good show. And the weather must be better than it is in NYC. I will give you guys a full report when I get back.

Gosh. .I go out of town for a few days and go fishin with the wife, campin with the friends,communin with Ma Nature, and I miss out on my chance to flame the jackass...DOes this mean I need a laptop in my car?

Anyway, I'm back now and if Chris hadnt shut down the thread I coulda kicked the little jerk in the seat of the pants too.

Ok...here's another question...does using subgroups in logic audio 5.5 degrade signal in any way? I know it's all digital...but doesn't sound go through additional algorithm? What's your opinion? I must be crazy but I'm telling you that I hear a small change in sound even though my bus fader is set to 0.

I'm, looking to start my fist real home project studio. I'm starting from ground one here. I've decided I'm going with the Alesis ADAT HD24 for my recorder, but the console still plagues me. I would pefer an inline console, at least 24 channels, 8 bus, new or used, $2500 or less.

Opus (and others!), I need your help. It's the MAC-PC issue again. This time I did as you said and formatted my firewire HD FAT32. Mac sees it now but it gives me only one option which is "Initialize". I took an old HD and did "initialize" it and all my data was lost including the name of the HD. What should I do now? How to transfer those waves?

I'm fairly new to the whole recording scene. I currently have a PC with a small 4 channel mixer, a couple compressors, and a mic preamp. I'm wondering... what is the simplest solution that will allow me to record multiple tracks at once on my computer? I have FireWire and USB 2.0 and room for a PCI card as well. I would need like 4 in at once. Any suggestions?

Thanks :)

After using a silly little USB microphone to record a number of demos, I think I'm ready to go all out and record.

I had a computer crash, and when re-installing my hardware, I found that my driver disk for the E-magic audiowerk-8 is missing. I have been all over the net, including E-magic's home site. I have found drivers, but none will download.(go figure!)
Does anyone have a driver for this card on windows 98 platform?
Please send me an e-mail if you do.
