Can someone explain "normalled"

1. What is fully normalled? what are the pros and cons and how is this used?
2. What is half normalled? what are the pros and cons and how is this used?
3. How is each used respectively and why are pieces normalled and not?

Thanks.

can this be done? i know you can buy switch boxes but are there any problems or implications if i want my mac an pc to use the same monitor. i am finally getting a new mac as a dedicated audio machine but want to keep the trusty pc in the studio for internet/business type stuff.

Give it a listen and tell me what I did wrong...

I already know it's got to many drum rolls :)

Thanks
Dennis

My three-year-old Delta 1010 seems to have developed a problem. A few months ago I noticed that when I first power up I hear a hum coming from the card ... at least I'm pretty sure it's the card and not the breakout box. And the hum is LOUD ... I have to kill the volume on the amp until it passes. It used to take two minutes to fade away ... now it's taking 25 minutes.

I currently have a (very humble) home studio with a few synths, and i was thinking the next addition i should make.. Monitors seem to be one of the top things i want.. I would prefer headphone monitors only because i would be able to do more production at times when people don't want to be disturbed. This isn't a huge preference though, only little (hehe)..

I have an Intel based 1.8 Gig, 256 RAM PC. I was wondering how many audio tracks can possibly be recorded with it. I have yet to buy a sound card, so i desperately want to know this before I buy one.

One more: Is it possible to record as many as 24 simultaneous audio tracks with a PC? Please suggest me a solution for this also.

So I'm eyeing my 01V over in the corner knowing that I can configure its MIDI protocol so that it can function as a control surface for my digi001. Only I'm relatively inexperienced when it comes to MIDI, and such a task would be a significant undertaking for me.

Let's face it, all of us at one time or another have heard a new artist on the radio or a video and wondered "Why the hell are they signed and I'm not? They suck!"

What's your take on this controversial and subjective subject?

OK. This cockamamy idea will probably get me branded as a physics phool and an airflow airhead. OR -- I'm giving away a money-making idea for free.
