I am very new to this as a necessity to help record a budding country band both live and in "studio." I am starting with a personally-built comp with:
ASUS mobo
PIII 866
384M memory
20G WD HD
and MOTU 1224 SC (just installed)

running:
XP Pro
Cool Edit Pro.

I was speaking with a friend yesterday and he mentioned that he's been making his own cables recently. Does anyone have any experience doing this? How easy is it? How cost-effective?

Thanks,
Nick

HI ALL In Virtual Land. Trying to hunt down some circuits for some very rear little beasts called a EMT256 II. One of the Powderfinger boys has bought a pair and would like to make them work again. If anyone has any info at all hiding in a draw somewhere please blow the dust of of it and place it on the scanner. It would be most appreciated. Thank You.

I had a potential customer call up about using my studio to record a concert for "archival" purposes. She asked about my mics and whether they were omni or "uni-directional". So I of course said, "Which one will get me the gig?" :cool:

You should never pay to have your music reviewed by a company that may be seeking to publish, produce or record the material. Reviewing the material free of any fee, is the practice of legitimate companies wanting hits for their artists or recording.

Hi, I'm new to this scene and interested to find out opinions on the Roland VS series consoles
I have an 1880 an am happy with its performance, except when it comes to digitally transferring tracks to computer (pro tools, cubase). I can only manage to do 2 tracks at a time via optical or coaxial. and when using MTC I have slight sync discrepancies with multiple transfers.

I am looking at a couple of Word Clock generators, namely the Lucid, Drawmer and Apogee offerings. I am looking in the US$1,000 price range.

For the Apogee unit, I see the spec to be +/- 10% at 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96K... That seems high to me. Was this a typo, or is that considered good?
