After a week of mac woes which involved disk warrior, zapping PRAM, rebuilding desk tops, Norton anti-virus, OS re-installing, Conflict Catcher, etc. the only lingering problem is: All (I mean all) of my SDII file are being represented by a generic document icon. I believe this means that the finder is not recognizing them for what they are, and this will probably lead to trouble.

Hi? I have a serious problem with my DAW and its drifting problem. I'm using Nuendo ver. 1.52 and a St Audio DSP 2000 C-Port. I have my Akai MPC 2000 XL synced through midi to Nuendo. The MPC is the master and its syncing at 30 fps. The problem is that it will sync right but after like 30 seconds it will lose sync badly and not recover.

I would like to use samples for kick and snare, but
I haven't found a system that would satisfy me.
I would like to trigger kicks and snares to midi sequencer software and then play it back in sync.
Most of the time the seq would be slave to analog 24 track.

I recently re-installed my Digi001 system on my G4 and this time cannot get any sound out of the track playbacks. Everything is functioning properly on screen and everything was installed according to the Digi001 Quick Start Guide. I've tested the headphones I'm using to make sure they were not the problem. Ideas, anyone?

Is it true that you have to return all your emagic plugin synth disks when upgrading to Logic 5 to get XSKey authorizations? What happens if the key is stolen or lost? I don't think anything as small as the XSKey is secure because it can disapear too easily.

Thanks

I bought izotope's ozone. I tried the demo (free) for several days, I was sold. I'm extremely happy with it. I'm using it for mastering with sound forge. Apparently people have been complaining about the presets, but I have used my own settings.

Hello,

In an attempt to build a home recording studio, we ran out to buy a DAW (Mac, Digital Performer 3.0)last month. Wow we are feeling overwhelmed with the technology we have to learn given our limited background in computer and sound engeneering.

Wonder if anybody will be interested to give us a brief walkthrough of the system for a couple of days for a small fees?

I recently picked up a kit for my studio and I need to replace the heads . I'm a guitar player so forgive the lack of experience in this area. The kit is a maple GMS. A drummer friend of mine recommended that I use regular single ply heads for the resonant side .

Hello all... not sure if this is the best forum for this question, but here goes.
A client recently brought in some old 2-track 15 ips masters for me to transfer to digital, and I'm not familiar with the longevity of this particular formulation. (For example, I _do_ know a bit about mid-80's 456 stickyness...)

I have a chance to purchase a fully maintained and working 1970's 12 channel McCurdy broadcast console-for very cheap. I know this isn't a Harrison or Neve desk but it was a $30k desk when it came out-will I benefit from any character this desk could have?
