I just installed XP...everything is great so far. However,under the Device Manager and under Sound,video... there is one of the Yellow Exclamation symbols on a "unknown Device" there are no drivers for it...is that normal? I thought if there was NO device it would not even show up? Or is it just saying there is space for something else?

After completing the mastodont mixing job you may witness at I now find myself with a few minutes left over for MixFest.

I am starting up a brand new free email newsletter dedicated to tips on recording. The idea is to bring you pearls of wisdom from both professional and amateur recording engineers and artists to help you get the most out of your equipment.
I am looking for articles to put in the newsletter - the author getting a plug for their latest project, or whatever they like.

I know I asked you this before so please give me a refresher.

When Setting up ASIO MultiMedia Setup...What should be checked and what should not be checked?

Kind of off topic..When I use SYstemWorks Speed Disc now with Win XP and 2K it takes much longer than it did with 98 and ME...Do you know why that is?

This is what we sent out to our members on Oct. 20 2001

I've been thinking about this combo for my new DAW:

I was just wondering if anyone here has had experience with this unit.
In checking out the Lab 101pre I was a little confused with the output configuration.
I read a review (on the Earthworks site, a link to Mix mag.) that the outs were not “necessarily” balanced, even though they are XLR and TRS.

this question is probbably directed at Fletcher - yet Julian don't you also have a Soundelux?

I have only heard a 95s in the past, know that the 95 has a diff capsule.

but anyways - I haven't had access to a 99. I'm pretty familiar with what a 95s sounds like, what is one to expect from the 99 then, and what are the technical diffs?

thanks..

On my linux box, besides the multitudes of old SB16 and SB32 cards I have laying around (my brother keeps finding old computers, and all of them have a sb16 in them), I use (at various times) a SB awe64, a SB 128, and my RMEdigi96 on my linux box.

The RMEsounds the best (duh!)
I use OSS commercial drivers. Less hassle, it seems.
