I've seen both desktops and laptops that--with good drivers--are usable for reasonably sized audio projects. I lot of time you wind up doing some old school things in the BIOS but it can be done. That said, the difference in performance, quality, ease of install, and reliability with the RME cardbus system vs. _everything_ out there for portable is, well, stark. Put the card in, flash the bios in the card if necessary, connect an interface, set latency to 1.5ms everywhere possible, and never ever ever ever think about it again. Unless you have to figure out total mix.

I'm going to get a couple of cheaper things (RNP/RNC combos and such) but was thinking of one of these. It seems to fit nicely for what I want feature wise. Simple opto dynamics, two bands of shelf EQ, and a pretty good pre. It could be linked for overheads and room mics or split for individual instruments. And it even will work as a DI for bass and guitars. It's coming down to this or a Portico dual pre and dual compressor combo. That's nearly twice the scratch, which isn't impossible, but if anyone has thoughts I'd be interested. Thanks, TCBI've heard this unit described as being very transparent. I almost bought one of these because I was looking for something nice for acoustic instruments, then Mike Claytor decided to sell his Great River MP2-MH for about the same price and I grabbed it.

gt; ------=_NextPart_000_000D_01C75079.9AB708E0--Thanks guys, its now working great. I could not get it working with the nvidia geforce2 video card - some type of resource hogging(not IRQ). With the EDS card out video worked great. I tried the EDS in slots 2 and 3, but video would lose resolution with an error message that it couldn't find enough resources. Tried a Matrox G450 and no problem. Paris installed and runs fine. I did switch HDs to a clone I had, so not sure what the loss of video problem was yet on the other drive. I have a newer nvidia geforce 6200 though that I need to work so I can use my 20" digital monitor (1680x1050), which lets me get the whole mixer on screen. x EdnaIf you have installed any matrox driver be SURE to annihilate them down to a generic 16 color windows driver before you try to install any other video card.

either buy another one to use as a killer stereo LDC pair or sell/trade this one. Comes with Cherrywood box, and will include B.L.U.E. Series 1 Shockmount with it. $800 2.) B.L.U.E. Baby Bottle - Kick-ass mic for male rock vocals, and I've found it can sound killer on hi-hat, too. I've heard some guys like it on guitar; me, not so much. I also understand that rappers LOVE this mic - I don't work in that genre, so I dunno.... if you so any work in that genre, it might be a nice asset for not much money. Strong midrange presence, but without the "adenoidal" quality that some mics with this characteristic can sometimes impart. Just simply another really great B.L.U.E. Class-A LDC. Not something I'd really use in a stereo pair, and I have two, so I don't need both of 'em. Missing a setscrew at the very top of the windscreen - B.L.U.E. no longer has this specific screw, so you'd have to find it in your area if you want to replace it... two studs at opposing thirds of the grille assembly hold it solid, though - just TRY to get it loose as it is, I dare ya! (lol) Comes with Cherrywood box & swivelmount (no shock). $400 3.) Neumann M-149 Multi-pattern Tube LDC. (YES! Another microphone! I have Thirty-freakin'-one'-freakin-microphones, and I don't need QUITE that many right now! OK, maybe I do - maybe I just need a few different ones from some of the ones I got... just keep reading, dammit! lol). OK, this is my only slightly beat-up piece, I got it from Bearsville when they closed recently. It's currently got a Peluso K-67-type capsule in there right now (the orignal one was trashed - I still have it & could include it, but it needs re-skinning), one screw that holds the windscreen is broken, but the remaining three screws hold the screen in place with nary a wobble. To restore this aspect to original condition you would have to remove the broken portion of the screw from the body & get a replacement screw. Also, the green LED in the power supply does not work (I've written Neumann about getting this as replacement part, but have not yet been able to establish if it's available); no biggie, as this particular version of the power supply does not come with a switch - you plug it in, it's on... you remove the plug, it's off... who needs the fuckin' LED? This is a well- used mic, OK? No major scratches or gouges, but the finish has that typical Neumann patina to it. The Peluso CEK-67 capsule is brighter than the stock M-149 capsule, take my word for it.. it sounds more open & a little "looser", if that makes any sense... more dynamic? Maybe that's a good way to describe it. Also, the back side of the mic on Fig-8 with the stock capsule on these mics is damn near identical to the front side, while the Peluso is slightly different on the back side - a teensy, weensy, tiny bit less high end & low end than the front side. Most mics have a perceptible difference like this in Fig-8, I'm just telling you upfront the differences between the stock capsule & the Peluso one on this mic. SPECIAL BONUS!!! I have a brand-spankin' new B.L.U.E. Cactus capsule that I will swap out with the Peluso one if you want... in either instance, it would come with a Cherrywood box, shockmount, and of course, PSU & PSU cable. I'll offer this setup in the following configurations: a.) With Peluso CEK-367 capsule (already installed) $3,000 (includes stock capsule - bad/needs reskinning) b.) With B.L.U.E. Cactus Capsule installed $3,500 (does not include separate stock capsule) c.) With the stock Neumann capsule ONLY $2,700 (PERFECT if you want an M-149 CHEEEP to send to Klaus or SPA for reskinning/reworking!) 4.) Neumann M-147 - this much-disparaged mic is really a damn good one if you're looking for something smooth & not "hyped" (Brandon asking about how to get that "bassy, intimate vocal" on Bing Crobsy/Sinatra-kind of Christmas Carols? This mic'll do it). It's a hybrid tube/SS circuit, so it's not super-bright like a TLM-somethingorother and it's not as "warm" a
s a full- tube circuit - it's somewhere in between. Dark or neutral mic pres are not so good with this mic, but something like a Chandler TG2 sounds great (more wooly & adds some high-end air), or a Grace with that slight upper-midrange bump & extended highs also works really well, or a Great River MP2NV with the Transformers set to "unloaded". This mic now has the stock capsule back in it, but I've had a Peluso K-67-type in there (the one that's now residing in the M149 above) and it REALLY opened up the top end quite a bit. You can get these caps
/> of course assuming anyone decides they want to grab it. It's kind of dependant on whatever deal gets done first on which mic... either way, you won't get fucked over, I'll see to that. So, I'll also price this kit using a couple different options, as follows (in all instances, this mic will come with a swivelmount, PSU & PSU cable, and a nice Neumann aluminum case for the kit!): a.) Pure Stock w/stock capsule installed $1,500 b.) w/Stock capsule installed & Peluso CEK-367 included $1,675 c.) w/Peluso CEK-367 installed & stock one included $1,800 5.) Custom LDC w/David Royer Tube Circuit - (YES, ANOTHER MICROPHONE!) This is an MXL V67 (color is black w/black grille) that David Royer thought had a great capsule design, and subsequently published a circuit - and later offered a kit for - a conversion upgrade to a tube circuit & accompanying PSU for this mic. Mike Claytor - who used to hang out here on this NG - built this one, and it's a stellar piece of workmanship beyond what I've seen on other DIY stuff I've run across (Deej also

Basically, it's best to record using the lowest buffer setting you can, without your computer choking. Then, when everything's recorded, set the buffer higher, and you'll have more processor overhead available for plug-ins, more playback tracks, VSTi's, etc. during mixing. The only thing the higher buffer does on playback is maybe add a few hundred milliseconds to the responsiveness of starting and stopping. So when you hit "play" you have to wait a whole 1/3 of a second before sound starts coming out. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

two apps were being picked up by Paris till I hid them. When Paris began working, I unhid them and Paris picked them up and once again I was getting the c0000005 error on close. Rehid them and error went away. So there were two factors in my case causing this error. These plugs, nero resize, and FL plugs are not even functional in Paris, but I'm not sure how to stop Paris from picking them up other that to uninstall them.

You can at the moment only use the analog and the first bank of adat in the internal routing control. Every unit we've gotten so far has had hardware issues. dead or abnormally noisy inputs or outputs. Weird zippering sounds when using the mic gain and also the headphone channels. Grounding noise and buzzing units. If they work out some of these mechanical and or drivers issues then the unit will be a great device but so far I've had to replace almost every unit with some other device. The Focusrite Sapphire Pro is the only other in that price range with similar features. It doesn't have the routing features of the Presonus but has the same number of I/O. In the long run I think you really better off going with the MOTU and RME products. If the the budget is an issues then I would recommend. Any of these would work in that budget and give you the cuemix controls similar to Presonus and RME. 1x MOTU 8Pre 1x Presonus Digimax FS $1080.00 This will give you 16 analog ins and 12 analog outs. or 2x MOTU 8 Pre - $1070.00 This will give you 16 analog in 4 analog outs (8 if you count the seperate headphones) You will also have 16 channels of ADAT to use. So if you add 2 DigimaxFS to each of those you could have 32 analog ins and 24 outs.
