As mentioned in a previous post i have a Mackie Onyx 1640 w/FW. going to get rid of it as it's way more and very different from what i need. Looking at the afore mentioned FW interfaces and wondering if anyone has had experience with any of them?

Jesse,
What sample rate (44, 48, 96) would you recommend for the source files for mixing or mastering projects?

is anyone using a sub with your system? Oh and anyone using a passive system?

which VST's / Plug-in's is everyone running to do this sort of thing?

is it any use to work (in Cubase) at higher bit & sample rates if say, a sample or one-hit you're working with is only 16 bit?

Hey,

I am interested in mastering since some digital labels expect that the producer takes care of the mastering him/herself. I don't want to release any unmastered productions and i don't want to pay someone else for it.

It would be cool to have some Video tutorials about mastering on a ""bedroom" setup. So not that you need expansive hardware. Just some nice payable/free/standard in cubase plugins.

And maybe you got some tips for my mixdown. I currently work with reason but i ordered cubase 4. I have a little feeling that my kicks lack some dept but i'm not really sure about it.

Ok in lieu of the recent conversation on controllers as well as my need to practice making some videos I've done a 8 minute presentation of the Behringer BCR2000 and a freeware app called HuskerVU.

Any comments welcome.

so i'm mid-stream of remodeling the house and yard. master bath/bedroom is almost complete so i'm starting on the studio. which is actually just my basement. half of it is finished, that's where the band is set up. the other half is not but has had some treatment as it is my "control room" and obviously i do all the electronic production there.
that being said, i'm going to insulate it this weekend and over the next 2 weeks, frame and rock it. Additionally install Real Traps treatments once painting is done (and eventually adding diffusion as well - as i've everything i've read talks about having as much diffusion as you do absorption).
so now comes upgrading the system. I'm looking into D/A converters (most have monitor controls as well - a bonus i suppose as i won't have to buy a different unit for this function). I've narrowed it down to the Crane Song Avocet or the Grace M904 w/remote.
Anyone use either of these, or have thoughts/experience with others such as Apogee, Prism, Benchmark, etc.?

Been following this synth since the announced it last year, was wondering if anyone's had a chance to use it, any thoughts???
