Hi All,

Im going to be doing some live recording for a worship band in early november and Im after a little advice regarding mic-ing up the congregation.

i just got my pro tools HD system up and running

is there a feature known as step recording that I am not aware of, or is this a seperate plugin

thanks

Hey, Opus - Just read a blurb somewhere that claimed that enabling ACPI on XP causes it to share IRQ between audio and video. Don't remember if that was only for onboard audio, sounds kinda wierd anyway - I know you were playing with ACPI the last I heard, any meat to this? Is ACPI a no-no for XP, or has it been working for you?

When recording a source I'm constantly trying to figure out how to get the maximum sound level before overdriving my pre. For instance when I stick my u195 in front of my plexi cabinet, I fool with my pre for hours trying to get a good balance between my output gain and input sensitivity. Where's a good starting point?

Not too sure if this post belongs here, but I just thought of something that always gives me trouble when trying to help folks out.

I recently did a couple of live sound gigs for a local band who has decided to bring in a friend of theirs to do sound. They've asked me to come give him a few pointers, as he's being trained "from the ground up." (sounds like a recipe for disaster)

Hi everyone,

This is my first time posting on this forum, and I've got some questions about upgrading my crappy old PIII-733 DAW - basically, what would you recommend? I'm after a CPU, mainboard, and RAM to go along with my Delta 66 and vidcard.

I have a couple of decent comps (RNCs, Ashly CL50, 1066) but they only add up to 4 individual channels of compression (yes I know the RNCs are stereo, but they're not dual mono :( ).

i am looking for a good, inexpensive mixer to go with my echo mia2496. i only need a few inputs, i intend to record tracks one at a time then mix with MIDI. is soundcraft a good choice? can you recommend a unit? thanks

Here's an interesting one. I've got two HTFS (mac) formatted firewire drives that work fine on a mac. I have an Adaptec firewire card in a PC that works fine with a video camera and a MOTU 828 (used those two just for testing). The drives are completely unrecognized as existing by my Adaptec/PC setup. Not there, not in disk management, etc.

I have a thread going over in the "Mastering" forum that includes some discussions on the BBE Sonic Maiximizer. It was interesting to hear some of the comments that came from the mastering specialists over there.
