I was mastering a song the other day, and (as happens quite often) I found that the Drawmer 1969 in my rack didn't sound quite as good as a certain plugin compressor I ABed it against. But rather than just go with the plugin and enjoy a faster-than-realtime render, I decided to experiment a little...

i was thinking the universal audio 710 twinfinity, that seems interesting
or maybe the summit audio
i wanted a hybrid but I'm not sure
i need a good vocal preamp
something with color
i was also looking at the universal audio 610 solo
or a modded golden age 73 with Neve parts and carnhill inputs
i use a hard disk recorder not a computer

• Focused on sounding better than the infamous ITB sound of the last decade?
• Striving for a more spacious organic analog sound without buying an analog console?

The RMS216 FOLCROM Passive Summing Device is definitely one way to go.

Just wondering if Reaper is suitable for a hybrid daw?

The new version looks better than ever, however, my needs are a solid midi foundation and the ability to send analog groups out for external summing.

Man, I thought I had a handle on this but apparently not.

Using Samplitude, Sonar, Cubase, Logic, Reaper whatever... (shouldn't matter what DAW correct)? what do I need to get 16 channels of I/O to a Dangerious 2-Bus or my SPL MixDream and back into my DAW? ( not concerned with cable) just the converter options for now.

There's been a few questions in the past about using analog tape recorders in conjunction with a DAW. Here's http://www.endlessa…"]CLASP[/]="http://www.endlessa…"]CLASP[/](Closed Loop Analogue Signal Processor.) . It's looking pretty cool.

Hello everyone,

I have been using Pro Tools and m audio gear now for a few years and I'm having serious issues with the firewire/Pro Tools m powered setup since leopard on Mac OSX came out.

I'm completely frustrated and I want to simplify my gear.

Im trying to find out if it is possible to create a standard Audio CD which also contains videos that use a menu navigation screen (as per a normal DVD movie) that can be played on a standard DVD player (and possibly on a PC too?).

well here's the biggest question for my DAW studio so far...after deciding that to be taken seriously as a commercial studio i would need an analog desk, i realised i don't know that much about them.

I have been reading what& where ever I may acquire the adequate knowledge to complete my first pc build using my Asus p4p800deluxe mb, in the tradition suggested at "Radified", or using scsi for boot drive& applications, and using ATA or actually I plan on using a pair of SATA Raptors I now have in this other machine in a software raid 0 array, which since the p4p800 has onboard sata
