I have a fairly advanced MOTU setup that I been working with since last year, and it's been frustrating to feel so close, yet so far, from mixes that sparkle. After much lurking, theorizing, and some experimentation (which was helpful in confirming what wasn't working), I sprang for a Midas venice console and WOW! What a difference!

Hi there,

first of all.. this is a great site.
I'm a live-sound engineer and do a lot of live recordings as well.

I recently got an old Reverb from a friend of mine for low cost.
An old Ursa Major, which sounds great to me. Very limited in setting up the parameters but up to 6.4 sec of Decay-time in a very good quality.

Hi there,
I'm recording with a 550 G4 Powerbook, external FW-HD and two (sometimes even three) MOTU 828 on a FW Hub. I'm recording 16 to 24 Tracks of a Live-Concert.
I'm doing this for almost 2 Years and figured out some Problems which are mainly caused in a slow HD (must be 7200rpm) or FireWire wiring.
But lately I had some Problems I'm asking for help.

Howdy,
I'm not sure I've got the right section, so my apologies if I've posted in the wrong place.

Anyway, I've got a question about my DAW not working properly. Lately, upon either playback or recording, about 30 seconds to a minute into it, the sound will start to "break down" and sounds all distorted, until, alas, there's nothing but silence.

My problem is this. I'm trying to transfer audio via SPDIF coax. The signal flow is coming from my Layla24 sound card going directly to my Sony CDR-W33. I've tried making changes within WinXP Pro & Cubase SX. All I get is, "DIN UNLOCKED". I see a signal being transmitted during this process but can't hear anything. Is there some sort of "copy prohibit" option that I'm overlooking in XP?

Hi there

Im new in this forum, but i've seen that their are many gurus out there, and i could have some help of them.
I have a laptop: P4 2.4, 352MB RAM, 30G HD WinXP Home running Cubase SX, with my M-Audio Duo.

I would like to start recording rock bands with my laptop.

I have Edirol MA-10D monitors and
SoundBlaster Audigy 1 with a fire wire connector on the far side.
It HAS a digital out and its orange color coded and 3.5mm.
I found 6' of coaxial digital audio cable (Koss)
at the local radio shack.
They had one adapter from coax to 3.5mm but it has only 1 line across.

Im looking to upgrade my daw from the Tascam us-428 i have now. I was almost set on purchasing the aardvark Q10 but then i started looking at other things like digital mixers. I know with the Q10 you could record 8 tracks at once which each show up in Cubase as 8 different tracks.

I'm looking for a mic preamp with digital out ($500 range), with a better sound that my samson mixer pre's, for use with a RODE nt2 mic and a daw based system with Echo Gina 20 Sound card.
Have you some advice?
Forgive my bad English
