Hi,

Is it true that the expansionboards(input) only support samplerates up to 48kHz ? if so, what's the point of having a 24/96 card ?
In another thread something was mentioned about a stereo signal coming out of the output boards..is it possible to hook my monitors up with the outputs that are on the digi96/8 itself ?

Something else I thought we could chew on:

there seems to be a lot of mention of dual processor systems in various forums here.
consequently there is a lot of referral to MSI's dual athlon board, but it seems like not many are aware of the others.

ASUS just recently announced their athlon dual processor solution, the A7M266-D (AMD760 MPX chipset)

hi,

I`d like to know how many engineers out there are mixing on Protools(no external desk, only PT mixing) - does anybody knows any records ( maybe even well known ones) mixed on PT?

what are the pros and cons of PT mixing?

..don't we see more summing bus hardware? With all the people who bash PT's summing bus, I would figure more companies would have stepped up and made a simple 8/16/24 channel summing bus mixer. Nothing but pan, gain and a fader.

Now I just don't count the Manley mixer. Come on...too expensive for what it is. Notsure I want the "Manley sound" on everything either.

I am looking at uprading my current DAW setup but there are so many factors to consider since the tecnology is changing so fast . I am currently running :

MAC 9500/G3 400
OS 8.6.1
Pro Tools 5.0
Pro Tools III Hardware ( 32 Track )
(5) DSP Farms
(4) 882 I/0
Miro DC30+

Please offer perspective. The comments I have been reading on other forums scares me.

OK to you play your mix then flip over to "The Next Big Thing's lastest CD or whatever you use as a bench mark...(this is caled A/Bing btw)

But the commercial CD is MASTERED! Your mix is NOT!

What if the commercial CD is WAY louder than your mix?

Is your CD player's output sound, one you can trust?

Ok, another question.

At present, I am considering a P4-based DAW with an Echo Layla and Nuendo. Someone recommended I go with an RME card, preferrably with an ADAT converter.

I am curious to know what that is/does, and, if the Layla is lacking in some way, what other cards could/should I consider.

Let's talk about mastering..
What software do you use?
What's the "mastering" chain you prefer?

I will ilustrate something with a example. When you play a pro track in some spectrum analyzer you notice that all the frequencies "jump" simoultanously when they hit..
How this can be achieved?
