…A gazillion times? I am looking for a song and production to mix. The catch is, a bunch of people are going to do mixes on it besides me.

If you have a song that you would like mixed, and it’s a killer song, put up a URL to an MP3 so that we can listen to the song. I’m locking the topic after the first 20 submissions, so don’t put it off until tomorrow.

I feel that the arrangement is probably the most important parts of the actual mix. So what makes an arrangement great? What sort of things happen in a great arrangement? More importantly, what sort of things can we do as mixers to make an arrangement great?

I think that if we can figure this one out, we'll be half way to great mixing. So help me out.

Ok, another question.

At present, I am considering a P4-based DAW with an Echo Layla and Nuendo. Someone recommended I go with an RME card, preferrably with an ADAT converter.

I am curious to know what that is/does, and, if the Layla is lacking in some way, what other cards could/should I consider.

With another thread brought up regarding the sh*tty sound in pro-tools...I was left thinking today as I sat at a contol-24 - Playing with the 7k mouse, I started to dwell upon the premise of that the only sound of pro-tools (other that converters and plugs)is the summing math of the software.

I recently purchased a used HP 6000 scsi se drive array for backing up live performance recordings. It currently has 7 4.3 gig non hot swappable drives. So far I haven't been able to get the roland to recognize the array. Each drive has its own id #, the roland is "0" and so on. The array is terminated. Any suggestions on getting the two together or am I shhotin in the dark.

Hope this belongs here? My appologies to all if it don't. Just purchased a use Tascam m512 console and need info on the routings of the taps on the back plane so I can route my signals where I want them to go. Too cheap to purchase the manuaa.

Hi guys,

I understand that this forum is really for the pro's, but I couldn't find anywhere else which seemed suitable, so I hope you will forgive me.

Like many other amateurs I follow this forum closely and try to pick up any advice, comments and suggestions and to learn from them. One idea that I haven't seen put into practice (if it has been details would be appreciated) is as follows:

Hi all,

Just wanted to get some opinions of Euphonix users about those 24/96 converters, especially the ADC-to-MADI version...how do they cut soundwise in comparaison to Apogee's or RME-ADI-96?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers

Benoit
