Ive got Pro Tools Le 6.5 and ive got a little Tascam Us-225 Daw controller...I cant get pro tools to pick it up. Ive dropped the .dll's into the Pro Tools DAE/controllers folder and i still cannot control pro tools with the unit. The Tascam says it can control Digidesign. I am planning to buy the 25 channel Tascam controller and i dont want this same problem, sumbody help me out.

I know there are a few here that say no-way, plus I have a AMD64 and AMD XP for Giga, EWQLSO, Nuendo, etc, so am set as far as power is concerned, but late last night I was looking through a few mags and still, they (vendors) push the iBook and Powerbook for portable DAW with something like Pro_tools LE Mbox, so my question is, really, how bad would a mini mac be?

Hello all. I just foudn this site while researching my options for building a new DAW.

Just a little background.
Started with music doing the ACID route 6 years ago.
Picked up Reason about two years ago.
Have been playing around with VST's etc for the past few months.
I have decided to get serious with my music so I am looking at where to goto next.

Sorry for all the acronyms in the subject. I have recently had a bad monitor buying experience and am interested in what you guys use or prefer for those long nights editing.

I needed to get a new monitor for my editing console as my fine old Hitachi 19" CRT finally failed.

Is there a site that has reviews or at least comparisons of the features of some of the Digital Audio Workstations? To me make a knowlegeable selection?

I saw this DAW on ebay what do you guys think - the price seems good - it comes with Cubase SE.

Any ideas?

My only weak link left in my studio is my DDA-console which is not bad but not compareable to high-end consoles either. The rest of my gear is up there. I use my studio only for my own productions and I've made the recording chain a priority 'coz i mix in larger facilities.

here's the skinny fellas - i'm about to graduate with a bachelor of music with a concentration in music recording technology and am currently interning in harrisburg, pa for my last semester. obviously coming out of a 4 year program i have basically no money in the bank.

I am buying a new studio. I want to be able to record a live band all playing at the same time (about 12 mics). I want to be able to occassionally fix a tuning or timimg problem (for a singer's out of tune note or a drummers late snare hit). I want to do automated mix down. I will not be doing MIDI.
