Good day gentlemen,

I am currently looking for a good mastering house, preferably in Europe, to master classical recordings for vinyl. Are some of you guys in this business, and if not, could you name respectable places for this job?

Best,
Thomas

some questions I have:

1.)I'm thinking of getting a mac to use for recording, softsynth performance,graphic stuff, running applications like Pro Tools LE, Reason, etc . I already have the Mbox. Any models/configurations/setups that are known to work well? Can I use an ibook?

Or is now a bad time to get a mac lap top because of the intel chip switchover?

Im new to this.Say if i record a project using the onyx fw and Cubase sx3. if i want to master my material do i just export the files to burn a CD and take that CD to someone who does mastering or is there something else that is more efficient?

Oh yea and what if the mastering studio uses Pro Tools, does it matter that the material i did was on cubase?

I've got an upcoming Orcestral concert to record and I have a chance to experiment a bit with surround recording. Having very little xperience with this other than having listened to a bunch of surround DVDs with classical music, always feeling ripped of because the mix sounded unnatural and nothing like a "live concert experience".. (I'm expecting my first won't either..)

Do i need a computer to record. Right now i'm planning on what equipment i should get. I have a Yamaha DGX 505 keyboard and i'm looking for a digital mixer. I know i need mic i getting some dynimic mic and 1 or 2 condenser mic. Also i'm looking at some studio active monitors. Is there anything else i need besides cables? and do i have to have a computer to record? :D

Hi all, my roommate is a solo acoustic guitarist and recently got a job at a local music hall which sounds very, very good. His bosses said they would let him record in there, and I am writing to ask about techniques and mic suggestions for such a setup.

I've been asked to provide a computer and software to record a small bluegrass festival this weekend.

Looking for a software package that will allow me to record to a computer and have AGC too.

Is there anything out there that will do Automatic Gain Control?

Other options and suggestions welcome.

Simplicity is best.

Thanks,

Neil

Hi all,

I was reading a book on the future of music and it mentions that in the future, music is going to be a service that you would sign up for like you get cable tv or internet. Also, there won't be any copyrights. I was kind of demoralized by it. Do you think it's likely to happen?
