How do you guys record large choirs?

Somewhere there was a killer thread on winxp tuning/tweaking
I think it was at the cubendo forums anyone know the link ?

To say that I've been interested in the MDR-2496 is an understatement. However, ever since I've heard about it, I can no longer find Mackie online. I've tried Mackie.Com and Mackiedesigns.Com, and with either of those (this is peculiar) Internet Explorer either can't find the page or it locks up.

This board didn't get a lot of exposure in the industry to start off with, I guess due to the success of the VS series of digital studio workstations.

Howdy

I'm looking for a few good MIDI programmers for a project that will lead even the most sane person to the brink of insanity (just look at me). This project requires a gaggle of skills some of which are:

- a comprehensive, El Tweako Grande MIDI sequencing skills

- an authoritative command of synthesis

- a firm grasp on contemporary music theory concepts

How would you charactorize the AMEK Mic Pre / EQ in comparison to the Vintech Mic Pre / EQ or other Neve designs? In both Mic Pre and EQ?
Thanks,
Mike

There has been quite a lot of talk about ADC and clocking issues but there is another very important factor in making your PT setup sound like a professional tool, the plugins. There are hundreds out there and the vast majority sound crap! So here is my personal preference for quality sound:

It's not a subject that I really want to spend heaps of time on because I think most good engineers agree that making something loud and ruining dynamics is a bad thing, but...

I'd been having a lot of trouble getting my mixes to translate well to other systems (a lot of trial and error - mostly error) and I finally did a sine wave plot of my monitor/room. No wonder...as much as 20db differences at some frequencies (I did three runs and averaged the results).

OK I set up a 5.1 rig by 'loaning' extra Genelec's and had a fun time..

I can lay my hands on extra Genelec's with ease, this makes me want to stick with that brand.. In case of future 5.1 work..

But I think I need to tweak them a little...

I am considering getting in a BSS Omnidrive to eq my set up a tiny bit...
