and when they say get a quiet graphics card, do they mean the fan itself inside the case? or do they mean "cross-talk" type noise from the circuits being so close to each other?

any advice on this topic would be much appreciated.

Hi guys, just joined this cool site.

I've recorded a large piano recital the last few years that invariably has two grand pianos on stage placed end to end (i.e. so the musicians can look at each other). The lids are up, so the right piano is aiming AWAY from the audience. Certainly not ideal, but I haven't convinced them to do it any other way.

I have ran the same production studio for a dozen years. 10 years ago we booted our unreliable 2" 3M machine and replaced it with a RADAR. We will have to move on soon due to the lack of efficient back-up and reliability. The new RADARs have better back-up systems, use wav files for DAW combatability, and dual record drives to take care of these issues. We are also considering Pro-Tools.

Hi,
I am seriously considering picking an STC8 in close future.
I wanna expand my analog rig ( Hedd 192 >OCL2 > Ibis EQ > Hedd 192 > PT HD).

a) Is it really a clean processor?

b) Do you do your make-up gain with this unit, instead of other processors or. digitally ITB?

I am looking to add sound to an HO scale model railroad rotary dumper. I have an Edirol R-09 to capture the sound file from the prototype unloader which is aproximately 46 seconds in length. I am having a Pic micro controller programmed to operate the unloader and would like to have the sound file activated every time the unloader was activated.

Hi guys,

I'm new to this forum...

I guess there's a lot of myths in all the theories on harddrive setups, but obviously logic and sense to many aswell...

Well, I just got yet another drive for backup and before setting up my system froms scratch, i'd like some update and ideas on setups, specially on the drives.

the ones i have in the PC:

I had some pops and clicks last night that I traced to the optical cable in my ADAT connection. Anyone have any insight into good quality cable brands for optical?

For anyone who is interested, I'm doing audio for a live webcast right now. It's on http://www.banddirector.com. The clinician is DAvid McGill, principal bassoon of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. The ensemble is the Capital Wind Symphony.

Cheers-

hi,

let's all weigh in on what is the best os for audio

1. os x
2. vista
3. xp
4. linux

the reason for my question is that i've heard XP will only use 2 gigs of RAM effectively. so that means i'm stuck with vista? i can't go with os x because i can't really afford the hardware.
