Is this a good route to take?
My vision now is recording/overdubbing instruments into an Alesis hd24xr...

After that i'd like to put all the tracks through a compressor.

So, I preface my topic, here, by saying that I totally know that running USB 2 WesternDigital MyBooks for 24+ track recordinug is not the most efficient and reliable method... But It works very well.

I have had a couple of posts on here about home recording, but as from January I am turning my rehearsal studio in a recording studio. Obviously we are not talking Abbey Road, I will be on a tight budget. I am looking to offer bands good quality recording for a low price. So I need to get a good setup. I already have most of the software so its mainly hardware to start with.

I live in Australia. I recently bought some hosting for a ShoutCast radio stream with a server in the UK. Naively, I thought that licensing would be a simple matter. When I looked in to it more closely, I realised that I have to get two different licenses for two different types in of copyright in order to discourage the copyright holders from suing me.

The unfortunate thing is that 64 bit drivers are yet to come for Mac users. They'll be here soon enough though, from what can be read on their web site.

Here's a link to the new drivers: Downloads

hey everyone, i was called up to engineer a live gig this Saturday. I haven't worked w/ the band yet, and this gig will determine if i do more live work for them or not.
They are supplying the P.A (JBL active mains/subs) it's a 4pc band, w/ 3 vocal mics.

What do i do to get rid of radio signal coming through my preamp? The landlord said that the power outlet was on its own circuit but apparently that's not the case.

Hey guys. i'm in the process of starting up a recording studio. please check out the link and provide feedback.

I'm working on a project that requires recording audio from an FM broadcast. I'm not using the station's stream because the quality is too low (64bit).

I was using Cakewalk, with an AArdvark pro interface several years ago before my computer crashed. I have now aquired a Sony vaio laptop and am wishing to utilize the gear I have with the newer laptop. My issue is the interface only has a parrelel port connection and the laptop only has the standard usb ports. Can I just use an adapter cable to make this conversion?
