I read somewhere that sometimes a digital mix will be put onto analog tape and then converted back to digital in an effort to induce the warmth of analog tape.

Is this a common procedure, and how effective is it at doing just that, namely adding some warmth or body, or replicating an analog sound?

Hi,
Im desperate for a hand on building a new digital workstation.
obviously not from scratch,
I use a mac although it is opssible for to use pc.
currently iv'e been recording analog through a Behringer Eurodesk MX24/42 which is wired in to the steinberg MI4 usb interface.

Greetings.

If I have some modest mics (SM-57, SM58, AT-2020) feeding an RNP preamp, what would be a comparably cost-effective way to get the signal to the computer with decent fidelity?

Thanks.

I had my first opportunity to use a digital board for a live show today. It was pretty fun getting to know the M7CL running monitors for several bands at the show.

preferably firewire, i need to save on as much space as possible, anything 12 channel or above. budget: £500-600

cheeeeeeeers!

Hi

I have a PreSonus Firepod (or FP10 as they are known now). I would like to find several options for a noticable upgrade over the PreSonus preamps. I would like to mention that for the price the PreSonus preamps sound very good. In order to use the PreSonus as the audio interface to the computer I will need a preamp that has digital outputs (S/PDIF) so I can bypass the PreSonus preamps.

I am using digital performer 5 with a PreSonus firepod to record live direct from our sound board. I have everything set up correctly. I arm the tracks and hit record and it works - it shows the waveform as we record in real time...my problem is when I stop the recording the waveform disappears. how do I make this waveform stay?

Hello,

I've been recording for a while and I'm trying some new equipment out and I'm a little jammed.

I have a 24x24 SoundCraft Spirit Mixer and a PreSonus Firepod.

I want to run from my snake into the Soundcraft mixer (for use of it's great preamps and eq's) and the run lines out of those channels into my firepod (bypassing the firepods preamps).

So as the title states, I am using the Tone Port UX2 with GearBox. I have a brand new XPS M1530, 4 gig ram, Core Duo 2.4 ghz; but I also have Vista Premium. I have downloaded the latest versions of everything. GearBox 3.6, Live Lite 7, and the Reaper 2 or 3.
