Is a 5400 rpm hard drive adequate for today's latest DAW programs?
Anyone using a hard drive of this speed with no problems?
I'm converting from a 16 track to Sonar 8.5 soon.

Thanks. :smile:

Hey!

I'm quite new to audio interfaces and have quite a few questions. Right now I have a Behringer XM8500 hooked up to a eurorack UB502 and also a Scecher Omen 6 electric guitar and an M-Audio Keysation 88es via USB. So basically the eurorack is there to mix and amplify the signal of the mic and guitar to recordable level. An integrated Relteck HD sound card does the recording.

I was thinking about getting an electric drum kit as it would be but i'm not really a fan of the little pads they have going about.

Learning something new today and learning I need more virtual midi ports.

Folks-

I am considering doing some recording in Europe (Germany) on the request of an American client headed there on tour. I am asking here for advice and for the benefit of your experience. Trying to figure out two things:

This looks really awesome, I need to know more about it. Has anyone here had the opportunity? I'm very interested in this software and would love to have users chime in here. I've just been told it will run 70 DVZ Strings on a single Quad Core. This is very good news.

Hey everyone. I hope I can get some insightful ideas and emotions surrounding Normalization of individual tracks during mixdown. Heres a situation I had to use this feature. I recorded a band live. The board had post-everything direct outs. EQ, Inserts, Fader Movements.

Hi Dudes -
I do a fair amount of home studio recording, currently using a PV14-USB mixer run to a Boss BR1180 digie studio (live mixing to a stereo pair on the digital studio). I'd like to get an affordable laptop for home use, and may as well be sure it can do a good job recording too.

I recently recorded an acoustic guitar track that has great mids and high-end , but was very bass shy. I could make the track sound more complete by using a really broad bass boost that was on the order of 18dB at the lowest frequencies, falling ski slope style to normal at the low mids.

It sounded good, but my intuition was that this was too much use of EQ.

I recently purchased a 10" KRK subwoofer to go along with my RoKit G2 Powered 8s. I had my 8s hooked up to my computer via a single 3.5 to left/right RCA cable. I attempted to use a similar cable with my sub. The speaker test worked fine, but on playback I have no sub.
