Kinda new to the Pro Tools and I'm struggling with understanding the whole "disk allocation" thing.
Just wondering if some one could do a chronological walk through of what wold be recognized as "proper" procefure for backing up projects. What the big studios are doing as far as handling clients files.

I'm gonna try the demo tonight..on a G4 400

anybody else heard this yet?

I'm looking to get my hand on the Alesis DM Pro for my christmas present. Hopefully it will solve all my production problems when it comes to clear sounding but real sounding drums. I'm also hoping that it will allow me to create and edit my own drum sounds from the samples given. Any comments on the Alesis DM PRo? Pros and cons? Any limitations or will it exceed my expectations.

I run my Tascam 428 back into a line input on my mixer...Would it be better or worse if I went from the Tascam to the Tape Input of the mixer?Just checking my options!

Can some of you give me some suggestion of what the best mic set up for recording big Gong.

I am doing post for a short film and need to recording these gong sound. The percusionist is creating all kind of weird and interesting sound from a big gong. She is running a piece of rubber on the surface of the Gong to create this ghost sound and I like to capture it right.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the best type of CDr to get for the Alesis Masterlink.

I already use the Taiyo Yuden 650 Meg / 74 min.
That is the Silver series.

Are 80 minutes as long as they get and are these considered the best?

Apreciate the help!

I need to find a good mix room with a vintage Neve or API that is automated. Any suggetstions?

...to the board, or analog audio microphone direct to the board? Pros and Cons? Suggestions?
I will be recording a blues medly with acoustic guitar and a single voice. By the nature of the song, the medley is better played and sung simultaneously than overdubbed, and I need not be concerned with the physical placement or presence of an additional mike.

Hi I'm working on a choir-project and would be glad to get some tips of microphone placement.
I'm using 2 Neumann U87 as nearfield and a peral stereomic as ambience and it's the nearfield that I'm asking about.
Please answer to my emal: music_pal@yahoo.com

I have a 16 bit 48K session and instead of bouncing it to disk, I want to try to record it directly to a CD, via S/PDIF out into a Phillips CD burner. Is there a way to do this? Like a "dithering" for sampling rate? What do you guys recommend quality wise?
