Before you fork over the bucks for that one (which i have not
yet tried-out, so I have no opinion on it), make sure you demo
Voxengo's Elephant... VERY crush-capable, with the ability
to keep it clean or go well into clip-realm if you want it.
Built-in selectable internal oversampling, several different
limiter modes & speeds, dither, K-system metering response,
frequency-selectable DC filter, yada, yada, yada.
http://www.voxengo.com/product/elephant/
And it's only 69 bucks, so the price is right, too!

I still think native is the way to go unless someone is running a big for
hire room, and let's face it more of those are shutting down than starting
up.
One thing about the RME mixer, it shouldn't be changed at all. It's the most
flexible, powerful audio interface mixer I've ever seen. It's incredibly
easy to use, just a little tricky to learn. I'll take that over a photorealistic
mixer that's less powerful any day.
Then again, I'm a linux geek. Then again, so are the RME guys.

They are indeed very nice, but not necessarily a quantum leap over the other
top of the heap plugs.
To my ears not as nice as the UAD stuff. But different of course.....
The demos are fully functionaing - so try them out!!
You will need an iLok.

It is a short poem that the vocalist sang thru one time. For what it is
worth, I am the vocalist on my CD's. My trumpet is my voice. I work
very hard on my sound and voice every day.
My music leans heavily toward the abstract and avant garde because that is
where my passion lies. Even my listening is in those areas. Years ago,
I played Funk, and mainstream jazz, which had more regulated meter to it's
rhythm. Now days, I experiment with different rhythms, harmonies, and melodies.
There are many who can and do like to dance to my music, but I agree, it
was not created with the intention of causing peoples feet to want to pat,
or for most people to want to move their bodies to it.
One of the great things about music, is it reflects the essence of the composer
and performer of the music, and since we are all different in our experiences,
likes, and dislikes, it produces many different kinds of music. I believe
it is all valid and significant no matter how different it is. It is pretty
much a reflection of what is in that persons head and heart.
Thanks

Also, you do know that with FX xpansion VST to RTAS converter, all your and
my VST plugins show up in ProTools?? So, thatends that argument..
Lastly, use what You like, but I still say that the Pro Native route is very
costly and just as expensive as a DSP based DW rig..

Look, I'm no PT hater anymore - not since HD anyway - I think
those HD192 convertors sound pretty damn good, and I've heard a
couple of ITB mixes done in HD that I thought sounded just fine.
I just don't think $20k as a starting point for an equivalently-
capable system to what I have now is a cost-justifiable expense
for me. As I've said before, if I was trying to make my living
off this stuff that'd be a different story - i'd definitely be
on PTHD... not that you CAN'T make money without it, it's just
easier to make money WITH it, methinks... especially when
you've got clients asking for it specifically, and when it's
easier to take projects started at one studio & complete them
at yours if you've got a great mixing environment (or
conversely, if you've got a great tracking room, but another
place has the "hot" mix room in town, start 'em at your place
& the client can mix elsewhere), without format worries, OMF
issues, etc. But me with my little facility that generates just
a little bit of part-time cash... I can't see that kind of
expense being justifiable. That's probably close to what I have
invested in EVERYTHING recording-wise, except for instruments.
NeilSo LaMont. A VST wrapper would allow me to use my 4 x UAD-1 cards and 2 x
POCO's and I could get 24 AD/DA's along with an additional 50 digital I/O
for interfacing my outboard gear and VSTi's ......all for under under $10K?
Thanks,
Deej

>NeilHey DJ,
I don;t know about about 10k for all that I/o, BUT! :)All that under ProTools
HD or Even Motu's Hardware..But, let stick to PT HD..
I would gurantee you that you 'mad-scientist' daw i.o config under PT HD
would be simplified to point of pure pleasure. Being that you could:
-Name and save various hardware setups(nothing new) but just more elegant.
-Way better I/O routing than RME's Mixer and Steinbergs i/o routing.
-Even with PT HD9 with 4 apogee adda16, Lynx Aurora 16's..It would be ONE
(ono) 1 unified sysyem.. And not a hosh-posh ..Now you tell me, How much
is that worth to you? Then, add up all of that 'Man-Hours' to get your Dream
Native rig going and running smoothly , tracking, overdub, mixing.????

Just saw this comment on a Mac audio forum:
"my mbp is only one month old (bought in january,08) and is a refurb,
but booting in single user mode shows TI Firewire, so i assume it has
Texas Instruments chip. its the previous best 15" -> 2,4 ghz,4MB L2,
256vram,160hd. works like it should. i use metric halo 2882. so maybe
they changed the chip manufacturer sooner?"
So it looks like they went to the TI Firewire chip before this new
revision, which bodes well for _my next laptop_ (thanks Chris!).
Cheers,

I'm at a point now financially where I could buy a PT HD 1 rig just for my
house if I chose. I haven't and don't plan to, which I think says something.
I'm also a professional dweeb so running an native audio system is a hell
of a lot easier for me than for most people who have not experience the sweet
joys of hand compiling CISCO iscsi adapters for Solaris 8.

I just loaded my new pc up with WinXP, SP1. From BIOS boot/disk insert to
Windows installed welcome screen took 16 minutes. Can a get a Fresh Prince
ShaLamm! Updates and whatnot's coming (it'll be on the net), but I'm looking
for what to expect in the way of latency, plugs and track counts. SATA 250GB
system and 400GB data, 2 GB RAM. This machine will be my 'everyday' box,
streaming movies, music and handling most of my song building. I'll mix
elsewhere, but this little dude is the workhorse for building/virtual synths
and schlepping video render stuff when I have time for that.
Has anyone noted a major change from single or dual core tech to Quad core
in regards to latency in native rigs?
Any great audio or video rendering benchmarks out there to try? Keep in
mind, I'm using onboard Intel Graphics 8 (yuk) MB shared, so I'm not trying
to test the video card, only rendering capability.

>http://tinyurl.com/2gyy2kSheri and I went to see Bon Jovi at Chicago's United Center on Tuesday
night. That was the last of three sold-out shows...
I've been a fan since the beginning, but for whatever reason, never
managed to see them in concert.
Whoa....
Say what you will about the band, that was 2 hours and 40 minutes of
pure energy, both coming from the stage and flowing right back at
them.
Our seats were 5 rows from the back, so we were really out of the
arrays' sweet spot, so sound wasn't all that wonderful. But the
visuals and performances were absolutely killer.
Whether or not they're your cup of tea, you have to give them props
for finding their audience and resonating with them like nobody's
business.
Jon started "Living on a Prayer" by singing a slow, soulful, acapella
version of the chorus. He stopped halfway through and let the crowd
sing the rest -- let me tell ya, you get chills when you hear 25,000
people who know a song so well that you can understand the words that
they're singing....and that you can hear them singing note-for-note
even above the sound of the band.
Amazing.
Chris Daughtry opened for them. I hadn't really paid attention to his
stuff on the radio, and I don't watch "American Idol".
I went home and ordered his cd. Really good stuff, sung honestly.
And for Tuesday night's show (I verified with others who had seen the
two earlier shows), Bon Jovi changed the set list up and included
"Blaze of Glory", during which they brought Chris out to sing with Jon
and Richie. The audience went nuts, andI have to say, he really
pulled it off.
Yeah, our seats sucked. But that has to rank as one of my top-5
favorite concerts.
pabHi Everyone,
just wondering what motherboards are Paris friendly. Is dual core working
ok ? Thanks for your input
DavidIndeed! I've been trying them out this week and I have to say the 1973,
Major Tom and VibeEQ are very impressive.

to explain what was going on with the music. I never know where people are
coming from with their observations on music, but I do know that more people
dislike and don't have an understanding or exposure to my style of music
than people that would actually enjoy it. So with that said, and given the
very commercial nature of the state of music nowdays, I just took you for
what you wrote. I didn't take it as anything negative, just for what it
was. See, there are more people than you think that would actually ask those
questions and truly mean it.
So, thanks for the compliment on my sound/voice.

Yes, pro work can and IS done on Live , Acid,Sonar,Fruity Loops..But, at
the end of the day, when you turn in that project to a Label, it's better
be in PT format.
I disagree with that PT sucks. It does not. It's not my favorite DAW, but
when you learn it, it's a VERY powerful DAW who's I/O routing is second to
none for ITB & OTB productions.
By you stating that you could purchase HD1 and choose not, Says Nothing..Only
that you chose not to.. Simple.
I'm a Pro who has both DSP (Paris & PTHD2) as well as Native(Nuendo, DP,
ProTools M Powered-via Laptop) AND it's all good.
My point was and is: That Native is not necessarily cheap and keeps the PRo(Engineer/Producer)
swamped down in TECH stuff,a not on music production which as we know, Time
is Money$$.
My Neundo Rig is very powerful..down right sweet!! :) But, being bogged down
is performance test, when we know as you have stated on many occassions,
were fuitle.Being that we chained with current current Operating systems
of the DAY (XP/Vista) OSX.
The Promise of the great 64 bit speed boost( Yeah right). 8-16 core processors,
with not apps or OS (For Music) coded to take advantage of all that power.
Actualy James M was right. It's all about Marketing and taking all of for
ride to Sell Sell Sell.
Meanwhile, A Decent off the shelf Computer(Compaq, HP, Dell-gulp) with an
additional HD, bump is memory can a have High -Track count yielding native
DAW with the right Interface, can have near zero tracking latency.
As a person who use to Build DAws for local studios and producers,my point
of view does not put $$ in the pockets of said DAW builders. Ok enough of
that..
I guess I'm just tired of the Speed bump test that really only yeild marginal
gains That cost $$$ cannot be justified for such marginal gains. It's been
almost 5 years of trying to break the so-called 96k zero latency barrier,
and where are we ???

If you want to get the most out of it then these will help.
Run SP2 especially if you gonna be using for internet stuff.
Don't install IE7 yuck!! In fact uninstall fricking IE and Out look and
install fire fox and thunder bird. But don't do that until you use IE6
to download em. :)
You will probably need to install dot net 1 and 2 but only need to
install 3 if you have any vista machine in your network.
These hot fixes are for multi-core Intel cpus.
Microsoft hot fix:
KB896256
Microsoft hot fix:
KB936357
Make sure you are using the newest BIOS and latest drivers for the
motherboard, especially the on board video.
Which on board video card chip does your motherboard have? 8 meg seems
way too low. Does it have hardwired memory and then shared past that?

No kidding - I don't think 8Megs is even enough for waveform
redraws if you're running a couple dozen tracks.
NeilAlong this topic... what's the biggest bang for the buck right now for
MB and Chip?? Our Nuendo machine is in need of an upgrade....
Thanks,

>Lamont - fwiw, when I posted this I *was* talking about comparing different
*native* systems,
and comparing marketing hype to reality so people actually buying and using

will know what to expect and what not to expect. PT and hybrid systems had
nothing to do with it,
other than the fact that Digi is the king of turning marketing hype into
sales.
I don't know of anyone scoring and doing sound design for film in ProTools,
and that's
the market this thread was derived from, not recording and mixing bands.
It really doesn't matter if you think ProTools is the end-all be-all or not,
no one knows what the best tool for a job is better than the person doing
that work, and using that tool. I wouldn't begin to suggest that Thad use
PT for what he can and wants to do in Live.
No one told Picasso he needed to buy a paint factory in order to paint a
masterpiece.

I have an Asus P5W DH Deluxe board that's a good board (esp. for multiple
PCI and PCIe slots.
(Gigabyte may be another good choice).
I heard the Core 2 Quads were on sale for as low as $199 recently - down to
$250 on newegg.com.

>>Hi guys,
I know this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find a direct
answer in the (my) archives, so...
I have come into possession of a 4 slot Magma PCI>PCI chassis, but the
'mini-SCSI' style cable from PC to Magma is AWOL. The manual sez that
this is a 'special' cable, but I seem to remember reading here somewhere
that a regular version of this SCSI-style cable is actually usable.
Since Magma wants $109 for the replacement cable, I'd like to try to
find something cheaper, if possible. This is just for experimental
purposes right now....
Any comments?

San DiegoHey Dedric, I really thought your info was very informative and added weight
to my points about the cost of native. Great info indeed. YOu are right,
people need to no these things instead of going by the marketing hype.
I do know of folks who use of "Hybrid" DP-soft/HD hardware to score . As
well as, Logic Soft/HD hardware. Then, too ProTools for Dubbing..
You are right, I stated use what you like. But, stand by my words in saying
that most if not all major labels and films projects want the final delivery
on Pro Tools. AND, if you r going to work as studio engineer for a : Private,
personal, Semi, full-blown facility, you gonna need to know protools , and
know it well..
Do I think PT is the be all end all, no. But, It's really good at what does
and Provides.
