Well, I finally have all of my components. The last thing to get here will be the case, and it is on a UPS truck, on its' way to my house. And so it starts...
Since I'm saving for SS32, which is not host-based, I decided to go with a less expensive but adequate PC. Here's what I have:
Codegen ATX9001 case
Codegen 300xx AMD-approved 350 watt PS

Hi Greg and everyone

I love my procontrol. I absolutely hate it's analog monitoring section. It's embarrassing.

Do you know of anyone in London who might be able to improve it for me.

hi everyone,

I am the lucky owner of a pair of dbx 160VU compressors. It would be lovely to dispose of some more compressors like that for tracking drums.

Decisions, Decisions. Which one to buy as an outboard AD converter for location recording on a 24 bit DAT recorder?
Pros and Cons: (As I see it)

Apogee Pros
Transparent. 120dB Dynamic range. Has limiter. 1U rack mount.

Apogee Cons
Can't use both AD & DA connected on DA-45HR.

Is this really the best group of components to make a great DAW? I decided to take a stab at putting it all together in one place for everyone to criticize!

Taking into account cost, performance and stability, the basic Foundation is a reasonable case that allows good cooling, with a special emphasis on power supply, noise (where possible) & memory quality.
 

Here's a tip I had on the board a while back it seems to have disappeared

* Open the commands window
* Scroll down to transport
* Set hot key for "go to marker" to ( - ) on the num pad
* When naming markers use a number first

example...

1 two space bars Vrs 1
2 two space bars Chorus 1
3 two space bars Vrs 2

Has anyone used this board? How does it sound? Any cons?

I am currently looking at several quotes on DAW tunkey systems. The more info I get the more these sales guys confuse me. They all say something different!
What's the best os for daw?

I am a new user here, so I want to start out by thanking some of the heavy hitters here for all of the valuable info! I have done tons of research..in addition to this board...and have one last stumbling block...

I haven't used a Neve 1073, but many claI'm there's magic in this combination of Neve preamp and eq.

Not wanting to spend the $$$'s for the 1073, but having a Neve 1272 and some open slots in a API rack, I was wondering if the combination of a Neve 1272 + API eq (550, 553, 554 type) would approach the "magic" of the Neve 1073?
