This was going to be a private e-mail to Harvey, but I decided to make it an open letter here instaed.

I hope you aren't sick of this subject and/or question Harvey. I have been off the 'net for several weeks and I know this has probably been covered before but...

Hello!

Does anybody know if there is a way to quantize audio-regions in the arrange window?

Regards,
Fredrik.

The first time I heard those pops and weird bad quality automated panning I thought it was because I was also automating volume as well as applying three insert effects: two VST and one DX to a 96KHz 24 bit audio file... "Too much for my PC", said I. But as I opened the VST performance window it showed a reasonable headroom, not even reaching the half of it (CPU and DISK).

Hello,
I just joined this site a few minutes ago and can see it was a wise move.
I have a Q; about the XP-30 synth.
I now own a Kurzweil k2000 which I plan on selling in order to buy an XP-30.

I am considering moving from 2" to one of the new hard disk 24-track recording systems and am asking for anyone's opinions of the relative merits of the units mentioned above. I don't really understand the operational differences between the two, and am of course interested in sound quality, particularly as I will be using the unit's A/D/A converters a substantial amount.

I have a line on a used Tascam M3500 at a great price in excellent condition. The guys says the faders need to be cleaned, but that's it. My only qusetion is, should I buy it? Are there any limitations I should be concerned about besdides the lack of phase (polarity) switches? I am upgrading from an Alesis Studio32 16 channel so pretty much anything else is going to be better than it.

I know that Crane Song and Apagee are great. But what others has anyone tried? Are there any that suck?

Hi there,
I'm a small facility owner.
We have 24 track analog, a G4 with a MOTU setup, a couple dozen mics, some outboards, a control room and a 40sqm tracking room.
I was going to ask all of you what was the typical budget for a 10 song project, but rates are so different from a country to another, so it would not make any sense.

Rec'd the new 2480 today. seems like big step up from my 1880. .wow!...do I have a LOT to learn! :D

Here's the thing: I have a few compressors (2 RNC's and an Ashley SC-50), but from what I understand as the "definition" of a limiter, they're too slow for a limiting application. So what are some good quality options?
