I run a mix plus on a quicksilver 733 with atto SCSI ultra and two IDE drives - what about firewire?

I heard you can only run 24 tracks from a firewire drive... true?
Is firewire as fast as a SCSI ultra (...10`000 rpm)

what are you working with? :cool:

Has anybody else experienced this:

(Cubase/PC/ASIO multi-channel PCI card)

Buses dropping out accompanied by nasty noises when starting/stopping the tape transport.

Sometimes it's fine for hours, then the master bus drops out, somethimes it's bus 2 (chan 3/4). Sometimes it's flaky from the start.

Hi everyone, I just stumbled upon this forum a coupla minutes ago and from my initial impressions, it's a godsend!

Hi? I've been trying to solve this problem for long enough and I'm close to giving up. Here goes. I am trying to sync my Akai MPC 2000 XL, my keyboard, and Nuendo through midi( MTC at 30 fps and midi clock). My aI'm is to record one track at a time on Nuendo, record one track( like a kick drum) then go back and record another( like a snare) so they all are on seperate tracks.

I'm thinking about postponing my upcomging P4 (GNUS) machine to wait for the new 133/533 bus, and give it some time to test out and let prices fall to boot...

Hi,

Over in another thread Doublehelix advised:
First off, if you are going with a PC, stay away from MOTU...they specialize in Macs, and have a pretty shoody reputation with PC drivers...

Are there rampant known horror stories about trying to use the MOTU 2408 MkII in a Windows PC?

so I'm word clock generator shopping...Aardsync, Apogee, Lucid, yadda yadda...

the Aardsync is probably the most recommended, but what about Lucid? some of their smaller boxes seem about the same for a few hundred $$$ less than the Aardsync. anybody have bad run-in's with Lucid clocks?

I'm trying to nail a guitar sound. A sort of 1980's jcm 800 type thing. Some good examples would be bands like Zeke or The Dwarves even Turbonegro (if you can dig those albums up). Anyway, I can't seem to even come close to what I'm after. Do I need more than the Pod Pro, the Digi 001 and the Joemeek compression plugin ? Do I need to purchase some more hardware?
