Any one help me?
I have the following set up :
ADATs, Mackie 24 desk, MOTU 24/08, G4 MAC, CD burner etc.How do I set this lot up to allow me to inputs to desk, through ADATs to MOTU, on to the MAC, edit then route the tracks back to the desk to allow me to adjust tracks on the desk before stereo output to CD burner.

Hi Folks.

I’ve posted a question very similar to this one in the past but I'm looking for current opinions. We are looking at the Platinum Focusrite Octopre as a pre-amp for our Digital Performer 3.x setup. We are looking to use this mainly for recording drums into our MOTU 24i.

Does anyone here know of a clean-sounding box that can essentially serve as a monitor section for Pro Tools? I.e., the L-R of Pro Tools would feed this box through a volume pot (and possibly a mono summing bus) and then right to the monitors? I'm using a Mackie mixer now which has three individual gain stages, plus an unswitchable EQ. All that can't be helping the signal!

Is there a way to take a line out of a preamp to my computer for recording and also from the pre to a headphone mixing board at the same time? Does anyone know of very good sounding pre's that may have a line out for this purpose? The reason I'm asking is I'm trying to set up 2 seperate headphone mixes for vocalists. Thanks!

I have a Mackie 24.8 bus Analogue mixer but it just isn't getting used or I should say it's a glorified monitoring desk. I've how moved to software for mixing and use a patchbayto connect all my outboard to my converters.

I'm looking at making some upgrades to my monitoring system to the tune of around $500. I currently use a pair of Tannoy Proto Js and an Alesis RA-100. Am I better off getting new speakers or a better amp? Are the Tannoy Reveal (passives) going to be a significant improvement over the Protos?

Or should I just ditch the whole thing and get a set of powered MSP5?

Is there a good program (preferably freeware, if possible) for monitoring the CPU temperature? Right now the only way I know of is to go into my bios setup menus. I'm running Windows XP. I wouldn't be suprised if its built into Windows somewhere - I just haven't found it. ;)

I'm just starting out in the recording game and I need some advice regarding monitors.

I record on a PC and my setup is as follows:
Delta 66 S/PDIF out > Kenwood Reciever (forget the model - lower end though, 80 watts a side, 2-3 years old) > M70 Mission Bookshelf speakers (not newest model but almost exactly the same.

I am thinking of buying an FMR RNP and was wondering how you would direct monitor with it.(I have a 49 ms latency issue)I noticed that the new Focusrite has "Real Time,latency free,stereo monitoring".Can this be done with any mic preamp? Thanks in advance-I know I'll get the most pro answer here! Peace, Barefoot
