Hi, I've been analyzing my recordings and I'm almost certain that my DAW is holding me back, the sound doesn't seem to come out like it should, the mix is good and it's not unpleasant to hear but I think it lacks resolution, so I don't know if maybe I should start thinking about getting an HD system, maybe not Pro Tools for now because it's too expensive, I was thinking maybe a MOTU HD192 syste

I am in an independent band, who is being pursued by an independent record label. there are 5 of us, and we are all songwriters in the band. we are also being pursued by a major publishing company, and we want both deals to work out seamlessly. how do I achieve this?

any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you. :D

I've got MIDI drum loop that I would like to use as a guide track. I am looking for virtual instrument that will be able to play it. I am not interested in resource hungry samplers with huge libraries, 'cause I need it as a guide only. Windows Media Player plays midi file using GM module in the soundcard. I just want to do the same but through VST or RTAS instrument. Please advice!

Ok so I’ve kind of had the Mac or Pc question answered and decided to go for windows because it has loads of software that is compatible.

But what make of computer do we go for? Dell, hp, alien wear or any others you can think of. .

Would be great if you could tell us what you use..I haven’t a clue where to start to get the best price and the most reliability. .

hey guys,

my band plans to hit the studio in 2 weeks... we have booked 2 days (16 hours total) to record 5 songs...

My plan is to record guitar vocal stratch track plus metronome setup at my place... record drums in the studio together with main guitar parts and main vocal parts.

So I'm trying to put my old Pro Tools HD system in a new computer and the PCI card slots are different. I was wondering if there was any sort of adaptor or work around to get the cards to work in the newer mac. The computers are-

Greetings all,

Hi i curently have the Tascam 2488. i was wondering if i could hook up my computer to the Tascam by usb cordand if i could do this i want to by pro tools to edit my music is this possible I'm kinda new at recording.

So here is the deal. This is kind of a Mac vs. PC, compatibility issue thread. Please don't flame me I have searched the forum and there is plenty of information that I am still researching a lot of it. I'm giving myself some time to collect data and make an educated decision.

I just received my Lexicon Reflex and started to play with it - and I'm in AWE! :) The reverb sounds much more... "tied up" to the original sound, than any of the software reverbs I've tried, including SIR with PCM impulses and the like.
