Hey everyone. i really need help with a short question here. My girlfriend is ready to get a laptop and she has a dell 4600 2.80ghz with 512mb of ram (i would obviously have to increase and this thing is pretty nice and shes ready to give it to me for recording only there is 4 usbs and NOOOOO firewires.

Hi there, we currently record our sessions direct to DAT ( L and R ) through one main mixer that carries signal from our individual mixers but the mix is never perfect with keyboard sound changes etc and we'd like to be able to fix things up after the fact ...

Current setup :

1 16 channel mixer Yamaha MV-1602

I recently purchased a new HD (Hitachi Deskstar) for dedicated storage of my audio. Previously I used the same drive for my programs and Audio. This worked fine, but I needed more storage and heard it was generally better to use two drives.

A couple of weeks ago I received my Apogee AD-16X from mercenary. In a week or so I'll be ordering the DA-16X. I hear a lot in the forums that engineers like to record everything as unprocessed as possible so when its time to mix they'll add the compressors, EQ, effx, etc. I plan on mixing "Outside the box" by using a SPL Mixdream Summing device.

We just bought a 3rd Q10, and upon installation, suddenly began to have the following problem:

When the Aardvark Manager is opened, it works fine *until* we view the mixer for the 3rd card. Then, within minutes of having that screen visible, the program crashes, and also prevents us from reopening the program, or any other audio programs, until the PC is rebooted.

Hello,

I am seriously considering picking up the U5 for obvious duties on bass guitar. I know it works on other instruments and keyboards, too.

For Mic'ed signals, does anyone run something like a Mackie preamp (off the insert) through the U5 to help add some color "on the way in" to the A/D?

As the question asks, when I do even a rough mix of some sounds I'll add some reverb. As I turn up the return I here a BIG time phase difference!
It makes me want to shut it off. I notice this particularly when monitoring in headphones, less in the mains.

I also here this when I do a mix on a DAW sometimes.

I've got a Maxtor 80GB 7200rpm 8MB cache that's seemingly acting up. Before I ditch it altogether, I do have another Maxtor 80GB 7200rpm 2MB cache that I could add to my PC as a data or OS drive.

I'm thinking of adding it and running the two so I don't have a massive reconfigure if the 8megger pukes on me.

I wanted cheap removable hard drive storage for my G4 to archive all my files to and to have a way to store a single project on each disk.

I wanted to use IDE because it's cheap fast, and pretty reliable. I didn't want to use firewire or SCSI because they're more expensive.
