What interface are you using.....? Cheers Johnny I used a Tascam US-122 to this point. I've no real complaints with it...

Another vote for Tracktion. I was making keeper tracks for my album minutes after installing it. Good stuff.

My biggest hurdle is EQ at this point. I think too 'visual' and need to use my ears more... It's a struggle to get a full mix to sit without either hearing something that doesn't sound 'right' with the mid bottom, or no bottom at all...

Originally posted by axe2 2001 With all due respect, I submit that a great vocal performance will make any gear sound good. That's all , Rob Well, I wasn't talking about great vocal performances... I was talking about my vocal performance......

The cheapest condenser on the market way out performed my SM58 for my vocals. While in retrospect I am not happy with the results that particular mic gave me, it was a vast improvement over the dynamic mic.

Originally posted by blue2blue I'm not sure how good Tracktion's MIDI support is or how important that might be to you, so that is another consideration. I found the midi implimentation in Tracktion pretty good. I used MIDI for all drums, bases and keys, and did 90% of the programming with the Tracktion editor. I used Cakewalk for years, so I'm very comfortable with that, but I felt at home with the MIDI in Tracktion very quickly....

I recorded and mixed my album with tracktion and free plugins I found on the internet..... I think it came out pretty good. I had zero learning curve with Tracktion. I started recording keeper tracks within minutes of installing the program. It's just that intuitive to use. It's for musicians, not computer geeks....

Originally posted by The Audacity Works "ProTools" (as in the ProTools mentioned by famous artists/producers in interviews) is a series of hardware DSP cards installed *inside* a computer which does all mixing, routing, effects, dynamics, etc. The computer is basically left to redraw the screen and if necessary, run host-based plugins (which, since it's doing nothing else, can run way more and run them more efficiently). Because hardware is doing all the work (like a RADAR, Akai DR-series, Roland VS-series, Alesis HD24, etc.), latency and buffers are a non-issue. The right PT|HD rig can play back 192 tracks of audio and mix them along with 96 simultaneous inputs... with a ton of world-class effects... with unnoticable latency. It acts, responds, and feels like hardware because it is hardware. Conversely, host-based solutions such as Cubase, Nuendo, Sonar, Logic, and even PTLE feel like you're using a computer. There is no comparison, power-wise, unless you want to compare it to something like Ensoniq's long-dead PARIS system (also DSP-based), which was fantastic. Note that since ProTools is hardware, you don't have to use ProTools software (tho' it's included). For example, I use Logic Pro as a front end. Same TDM plugins, same track and input count, same negligible latency, same stability, same routing flexibility... Only with Logic painted on top. Digital Performer also can act as a software front end for ProTools, as could BIAS Peak on OS9. That said, the ProTools software is excellent, but it is NOT what makes "ProTools" ProTools. I'll have to copy this as a text file because this question seems to pop up every few days. Interesting. Thanks for that.

Originally posted by C JoGo DRUMS & GUNS 8 track cassette stuff I take it the guitars are supposed to sound out of tune?? The performances sound good. The mix sounded pretty darn good too.. I like the song.

Originally posted by MrKnobs It's far from finished. Unless Lee decides it's finished! That was the hardest segment to tell in PG fashion. I hope I succeeded. The rest is easy, and the most interesting part of the story. Terry D. I think it was tasteful.... I've never heard anyone describe 'broken' sex before, without using the 'A' word

Originally posted by MrKnobs I started to do just that and she said, "Not.... there. I'm.... broken. Terry D. I still don't believe it, but it sounds cool! Thanks for the finish

Originally posted by MrKnobs Sure, here it is, just for you: "...and that's the last time I ever saw her. THE END." You're welcome. Terry D. This whole story has been the mental equivalent of a dick tease, and I sincerely doubt the validity of the events.... However... It was pretty engaging, and you did beg us to run over from OJ to take a look - and I took the bait, hook and line. I just wanted you to get to the part where you find out she was a man, baby! Thanks for a good story up till this point. You really should be writing novels now that you're retired. You're good at it. I dislike reading anything that isn't technical in nature, but you had me reading this, and hoping to find the next post. Peace bro!

This is just like waiting between seasons of a TV drama, after the 'cliffhanger' ending..... Who shot JR already????

Damn it! POST THE END!
