I've just acquired a '65 vintage MC240 amp. As I understand, this is really a consumer piece, but I'm considering pressing it into service in the studio. I don't know enough about this type of amp to know whether I should expect to use it for mixing/critical monitoring of just listening/enjoying.

I mentioned some time ago that a friend and I were working on writing / mixing & producing a J-pop song (Japanese / Euro Pop) for the Japanese market! It has taken me ages, mainly due to buying & renovating a house / my job / having a girlfriend / and being Irish (a lot of drinking). As a result I have put in only around 1 hour every week to this project.

i thought i saw somewhere that there were
new fastlane drivers for win2000...is this
true? i'd love to get it working.

Which console you guys recommend for a home studio?

It's been too quiet around here. I guess everyone is as happy with their HDR2496 as I am, huh?

I've been going to the mattresses for the last couple of weeks with my PIII600 computer, Win 98se & 2408mkII. There had been a constantly recurring error message in Sonar referring to Tdif Outputs 1 and 2 being unavailable due to being in use by another application.

lets say i have a 10 song project i am mixing in Pro Tools, and i want the same plugins,aux routing, and inserts for each song. each song is its own session. how do i make a template of my first session so all i have to do is open the template and import the right audio files ?

please respond via this forum AND e mail.

thanks in advance.

I was wondering when people who use mix compression patch it in. I've tried early and later, but haven't determined a method. I don't often use mix compression; I had some bad experiences, with cheap gear, and tended to leave it for mastering. Now that I have nicer units available, I'm going to try again.

Thanks for the advice :D

Hi-

I'm a small studio guy who is looking to buy a good "house" set for using on rock and/or roll sessions. I know about the LP/ Remo stuff/options and might very well go that route, I'm just wondering if there are other small makers out there that are recommended by anyone? (Price around 400 per but would be willing to pay less.)

I originally posted this topic in the ProTalk forum, but am advised that hard disk recorders are seen as digital workstations here, so...
