just about too hot to touch -
is this normal ?

I'm trying to figure out if I can set up a P4 system with 3 EDS cards and
an RME HDSP9652 in a Zalman fanless case, the objective being to allow
recording in the control room area (some of my clients don't like being in
an iso booth). Will my components fuse together in a molten ball of copper
?

Anyone tried this before ?

------=_NextPart_000_0116_01C65592.F2340740--You're right.
It's very cool.
Runs like a freakin' champ on Receptor - something that can't be said of
large piano libraries using Kontakt II and streaming from disc.
So far there are piano libraries I prefer the sound of, but Ivory is just
so playable, so expressive, and easy to customize sound-wise, if not sample-wise.
I've been noodling all day. At first the Steinway was my least fave...now
it is my favorite - go figure.
Wish list:
Better in mono.
Half-pedaling.
An upright piano would be cool.

Highly recommended for anyone who needs a VSTi piano.

Rumsfeld replies, we lost three Brazilian soldiers in Iraq today. Bush

ve or a USB CD-R/DVD drive as your fist boot drive... what
about the feasibility of loading a bootable XP-OS CD-R, if
you're looking for something along those lines?

You'd set your BIOS preferences to boot the a-Drive first, CD-
R/DVD drive 2nd, then your C-drive 3rd... if there wasn't a
bootable CD in the floppy or CD-R/DVD drive, then it would just
boot into the OS you normally have it set up on your C-drive.

What are you trying to achieve with this setup, more
importantly? Maybe a simple dual-boot hard drive setup would be
best.

I've always thought a Bosendorfer is like a heavy metal

across the digital matrix from Cubase SX to Paris and having a bunch of
UAD-1 plugins inserted as opposed to inserting analogue gear into a straight
Paris mix. I'm definitely leaning toward the Paris/analogue mix. Even with
all of the processing power available and having the Paris summing bus,
something about the hybrid mix just sound smaller. Maybe it's the truncation
that happens when 40+ tracks that are being processed at 32 bit in SX are
flown over a 20 bit ADAT pipe. I dunno

I know there are lots of advantages to having the editing power of SX and I

last project. As far as plugins go, I'm getting
something that suits me just fine using analog processors in Paris. Are they
emulations of LA-2A's or 1176's.......well nooooo.........but I've got a
couple of Distressors, a couple of RNC's which output at +4 and are balanced
with 1:1 Jensen and Cinemags.They sound great and the comps in my Avalon
737, Meek VC-1, Forssell CS-1 and Focusrite RED7 channel strips do a good
job inserted on tracks, plus there's an SPL Transient designer for kick, an
SPL de-esser and an old TL Audio tube EQ here. Patching this stuff into a
mix just seems to bring it to life in a way I'm not hearing in a hybrid mix.
Add the Paris plugs and it's a pretty decent mix arsenal. If I sold 3 x
UAD-1 cards and my HDSP 9652's, I could likely afford another nice
compressor or two.........maybe an ELOP or something.

Actually, I really wouldn't mind having two more Distressors. I may just do
this. The only thing I'm gonna miss is instant recall, but hell, I've got a
damn digital camera around here somewhere.

I think I've given the monster hybrid DAW thing a fair chance.
