Description
Bus or Buss Audio In audio engineering, a bus (alternate spelling buss, plural busses) is a signal path which can be used to combine (sum) individual audio signal paths together. It is used typically to group several individual audio tracks which can be then manipulated, as a group, like another track.

Recording a 5 piece band with 4 busses. suggestions?

I have a session coming up and it is the biggest one I've had so far. My big problem is that I am using only the 4 buses off my mixer into my computer but the band Im recording wants to do everything live, without overdubs. this would be fine if it was a smaller band but I need to mic drums (4 mics) a keyboard, guitar, bass, and vocals. I was wondering how i should go about it.

2GHz PC buss speed

I have posted this elsewhere on other boards. Does anyone know if there is still a move by the motherboard companies to have a 2GHz bi-directional bus speed by 2004?

I had read somewhere in a PC mag that there were video card companies working on it now, and that motherboards would be offered by 2004. This would be great, IMO.

Speed of Ram buss on Mac's?

I am doing transfer's from IZ Radar drives to Pro Tools. There is a new software called DAMSEL that transfer's the data from Radar drives to other formats i.e. SDII, BCW or AIFF files. In our expermentation to find the fastest transfer time, I have some questions for any Mac users. We tested a Mac G4 powerbook running a 500 Mhz processor on a 100 Mhz bus with 256 ram.

Dissapearing Busses

Has anybody else experienced this:

(Cubase/PC/ASIO multi-channel PCI card)

Buses dropping out accompanied by nasty noises when starting/stopping the tape transport.

Sometimes it's fine for hours, then the master bus drops out, somethimes it's bus 2 (chan 3/4). Sometimes it's flaky from the start.
