Hi everyone - this site is so informative I had to register (an escapee from Harmony Central). I have some basic concerns about home recording. I have a P3, 20 gig hard drive, 128 mb, and I have been using Sonar, for recording guitars (nylon string and electric), keyboards, bass, midi drums and acid loops. I have some latency on some tunes, and I need to upgrade.

I've been reading a bunch of these forums for a while now, trying to figure out how to get a little studio set up. I am completely new at this, but I'm really excited about giving it a try...the problem is that I have no idea what I'm doing.

When you guys track through outboard compression into a DAW, are you mostly adding a little here and there to avoid peaks, and then adding most of your compression with plugs during mixing, or are you trying to dial in most of the sound you want up front with the hardware, so to avoid needing lot's-O plug comps later on?

Hi

I'm about to attend a public music conservatory's sound engineer education. Only 4 gets accepted here pr year, so the competition is rather tough.

One of the assignments I have to go through is mixing a musical piece from 24 tracks to DAT in 20 minutes. The music piece will contain a rythm group with horns and vocals.

the quick and dirty:

i bought my computer system, amd athlon xp 1600 on an abit kr7a-raid motherboard. the other day i went to find a good audio hardware package to get to the recording part and ended up choosing the MOTU 2408 mkii.

Thought I would try you to get some advice. My system is very, very unstable w/DP3. I cannot open DP3 without it crashing and freezing my Mac. I have been rebooting it endlessly. Do I need to trash some prefs? Do I need to move something around? 1024 of Ram. Where should I look for the problem. I have been on the ph w/MOTU 5 straight days since I bought it last weekend.

I have just heard that there is some software that will allow you to use a Studio5 with a MPC2000, with complete control over all keyboards connected to the Studio5... without the use of a computer. Is this true? If so, how would one go about setting this up? TIA. :w:

Musician's friend has the highly touted Oktava MC012's with 3 capsules for $249. They also have the cardiod MK012 for $99. What is it? How does it related to the MC012? Is it just a single pattern MC012? Thanks.
