Does anybody here know how I could record guitar tracks on my older VS-840EX workstation and bypass the main inputs [& therefore record un-compressed audio to my recorder]? Is it really possible to record via/through the External IN function of the VS-840EX and use only the Track Cues as the main recording level controls [instead of the main input sensitivity controls]?

I bought a Roland VS-840EX several years ago and was wondering whether I can bypass this machine's RDAC circuitry? I was thinking that if I plugged my mic preamps signal through the 840EX's EXTERNAL INs jacks I would then bypass the machine's main inputs.

I have heard a lot of guys say the music being recorded today punk, rap, pop etc will not take advantage of 96 kHz sample rate.
I tried a few projects at 96k and things sounded better to me
but my machine was overloading.

Makes me want to build a super computer!

What do you guys think, is 96 khz worth it?

anyone know how the pre s and the conveters compare

Tascam dm-24?

The mic preamp problem seems strange?
I have also been informed that it will only do 96k
through Tdif.

I'm thinking a Mackie d8b might be a better choice

Any Dm-24 users in here tracking at 96k through tdif?

Is RME really as good as apogee?

Opus - I am in the midst of gathering all of the pieces needed to duplicate your rig. The Asus P4B266 Mobo is starting to give me a headache. I am finding so many variations of the damn thing. You have said to get the plain jane (no -C version) board. I have now found info that says that there are 2 versions of the chip sets. A 845 and an 845D.

I use D.P. with a G4 and am very happy. I recently was given (dont ask) a 333mhz Gateway laptop. Now, it has always been my dream to run Digital Performer on a Powerbook with an 828 or something to do 2 track location recordings with a small road case.

Hi everyone,
I got this new MOTU FastLane MIDI interface installed but can't get its input to be recognized in DP. I'm able to send MIDI to my Korg N5 but can't use it to control anything. I set two cables in and out in FreeMIDI.
Any help will be appreciated.
Capi
