Hi there - being new to all this I thought I'd run this setup past peeps here and get some feedback. I've done some research and got some good quotes - just got to purchase and plug in!

Hi Gang,
I'll give you guys the set-up first. I track 75% real audio/25% midi projects to a mac hard disc medium. Pro studio(ie, I make my living at it)
Concern- improving warmth/fatness on tracks & mixes, (ie the elusive big analog sound)
Gear
mid quality mics(RODE NT-1, AKG C-1000's/D-II2, SM-7, 57's, CAD,, ATM,etc)

Hi Gang,

Hope Fletcher doesn't mind a cross-post - Paris 3.0 is out and it is incredible - a major upgrade! I've started a topic on it on the Paris forum - hop over to DAW World/Paris to discuss or comment! Just thought some other engineers/producers might be interested...

Thanks!

I posted this on musicplayer and I'm posting here because hopefully it'll reach more people and so I can get as much advice and suggestions as possible. So, if you read or respond to my thread on musicplayer thank you and you do not need to read beyond. right. here. :).
I would like to be able to monitor my audio inputs so I don't have to use an external mixer.

question: which card to prefer...

a)RME digi 96/8
or
b)creamware luna II

...and why!
(luna seems to be more versatile, but what about soundquality, latency etc?)

thx

Got a OC'd Celeron 633@790 with 192RAM running Windows 98. On my previous machine, I did all the tweaks I found over on the Prorec sight, vcache, virtual memory, etc. That article is about 3 years old now and I'm not sure if the recommendations are still valid. What tweaks have brought you increased performance?

Hello.
I want to use Steinberger-NUENDO DAW software and I want to know what is the best PC Hardware with multiprocessors (2 to 4 Pentiun III)under Windows 2000 to use with it?
I intend to use more than 72 track and lots of plugins, inclusiv surround Dolkby and DTS encoding.

Best regards

Hello everybody
I intend to use Nuendo PC DAW software.
I need a Digital Mixer to imput 16 mikes and instruments, convert analog imputs at 24 bit 48/96 khz and also command Nuendo Automation.
I am thinking about the new Tascam DM-24.
I need also to imput this into the PC DAW and someone of Tascam Germany told me to use Soundscape Mixtrem PCI Card.

If I would like to perform my *mixes* inside a DAW, say I need some 32-40 inputs to mixdown, would this be possible on a pc dedicated to this task only, or am I simply asking too much given the current state of technology ?
