Could I get some feedback on what you guys are using more typically for a mixdown medium?

A while ago I picked up a Fostex E-22 1/2" 2 track (15-30ips) and am pondering whether I should get a couple channels of SR for 15ips mixdown or junk it and get a masterlink. Or is it really worth it to have both these days (analog and digital mixdown formats)? Any feedback on SR at 15 ips?

Does anybody know what operating system this device uses? It's only drawback is that it's harddrive is too small (20 GB). I want to install a larger one. Yeah I know, I don't care about the manufacturer's warranty being voided.

I just wiped out my playlists by using "utility" function, thinking it would be on the "audio file", but it seems I may have wiped that out as well!

If this is true, I am sunk! I had some direct recorded material that went only to the Masterlink.

How can this be?

Tell me this isn't a lost cause!

I have noticed that the default release time on both the Waves L1 and the Masterlink Limiter is 10 mS. That seems very short to me. I have experimented by using extreme boost (-12 to -20 thresholds) and adjusting the release for minimum artifactts. I ended up with release in the 0.8 to 1.5 S region. I used these figures, with seemingly good success, to master with thresholds at -4 to -6.

Can the Masterlink act as the master and shoot clock out the digital outs to a external da?My da(Lucid) has no wordclock input it gets it's clock via the digital input.Any help would be great.

Please excuse me on this, but I just got it this week and from doing a few mixes I noticed it has a terible Digital pop at almost every beginning and end.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello,

I just got my Masterlink yesterday and have not had yet a chance to address it. I will be useing a TC Electronic 96K Finalizer in conjunction with the Masterlink.

I am useing Red Book only and am seeking the best CD masters I can produce myself. (I am looking at about 30 album projects right now!)

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the best type of CDr to get for the Alesis Masterlink.

I already use the Taiyo Yuden 650 Meg / 74 min.
That is the Silver series.

Are 80 minutes as long as they get and are these considered the best?

Apreciate the help!

I have 1680 backup data from VSCDRII on several CDr's. Can I recover this to the VS2480 with the Masterlink? If the answer is NO, then is there any other way to transfer data besides the VSCDRII? Im also looking for ways to backup current 2480 data SAFELY. But if the VSCDRII is the best way, I guess I'll have to do it.

Does the mastering house need a masterink, or have

Got it together to be able to read the CD's? Every attempt to ask this question at trade fairs has resulted in a piss poor 'shoulder shrug' from the guys that build both mastering systems. Assholes.
