How does the FATSO differ from the distressor in the distortion/warth circuits.

I am considering purchasing an analog reel-reel 8 track recorder and using it along with my DAW which consists of a Gadget Labs 824 soundcard and N-track. I would like to record bass and drums on the reel-reel and the rest on the DAW, can these two machines be accurately synced together? How does one go about doing this?

THis is probably a stupid question, but I had to ask. Does this thing turn off? The light on the I/O box only goes out when I shut down my comp, is that normal, or did I miss something in the manual.

I'm stuck on how to get the CS1x to sequence properly. I'm running Cubase and whenever I try to start with drums, I can't seem to get the drum sounds to continue when I try other sounds on other tracks. I'm using the serial port instead of MIDI cables/interface. I've tried "Local" on and off. What am I doing wrong? Does anyone like this keyboard?
Thanks

Hi there,
I apologise if I come across as an idiot, but I'm a musican, and not a tehnician! Please, if you the time, try to help me!

I have been researching recording techniques for the past few weeks and one common thread from the experts seems to always be present, in addition to panning, volumes, etc. To "leave or make room" for vocals by gently adjusting the mid-range frequencies as not to "mud up" the space for a vocal track.

How bad can using an ATA 100 harddrive on a motherboard that only support ATA66 be? Will it cause the machine to just shutdown, when trying to play back audio tracks?
Can I fix this problem with a PCI IDE card controller that is ATA100 compatible?

I know I need to get another mobo, but right now, it aint an option, Maybe in a couple of months?

Back in '94 I owned a pretty good analog 8 track studio. I left the industry for a while and am now going to be building a new studio that I want to be as professional as possible, something to really build upon. By September, I will have about $10,000 to work with.

Is there amyone who did the comparison between monitors of the same sepcs/degree that from PMC and ADAM repectively ?

I have been searching for a "nicer" Mic Pre and compressor to use as a front end to the Digi 001. I would like to have a discrete solid state mic preamp with very little coloration to be used on a variety of source material. I have been very impressed by the FMR Audio RNC compressor and have heard a Mic Pre is in the works but I have no idea when that might be available.
