First of all I want to say Hi as your Computing moderator and welcome you all to this wonderful place to share and discuss the world of DAW recording.
I would like to start this off by having people post their optimixation techniques for their systems...Obviously there are little more tips for PC than Mac due to the nature of the OS differences and so forth..

Drummagog rules!

we should have an ftp site somehwere with drumagog ready drum samples made by users here!

I make bands that come in do all 24 hits per drum and so have quite a collection of them.
Anybody starts an FTP for it let me know and I will upload the ones I made :)

hi,
I've just bought a Tascam ATR80/24, 2" 24 track, and I'm facing the usual problem with analog:
tape storage
heads demagnetizing
electronic calibration

and so on.

I am so glad that these companies are pushing the envelope. The 3.0 functions look incredible, especially with the compatibaility with Pro Tools. The UA digital card is shipping this month, it should be an incredibly powerful tool to mix with 3.0! Between the two cards we should have power that exceeds the power of Pro Tools for less than half :D :D

Fletcher,
This question is especially for you, but I welcome anyone's input.
What's the best pre-amp I can buy for under $1000, including used?
Thanks,
Mark

Hope Fletcher doesn't mind a cross-post - Paris 3.0 is out and it is incredible - a major upgrade! I've started a topic on it on the Paris forum - hop over to DAW World/Paris to discuss or comment! Just thought some other engineers/producers might be interested...

Thanks!

Well 3.0 is now posted on the Emu website - available for download purchase, or order (if you want a CD), and has a 7-day free trial with the dl version.

Trying to get a very clear, straight answer.

I tried Tascam Tech Support...no go...

If I feed the CD-RW-2000 (or 700) an analog source...while using the Monitor function that allows me to use it like a stand-alone 24 bit A/D converter...(I'm NOT burning a CD, I'm not even puting one in the machine)...what is at the digital output...24 bit or 16 bit?
