Re: FW HD 828 MKII Daisy Chain

I'm assuming that there's a 2nd FW port on the drive, in which case you can do either. The 828 will run right off of that port regardless of whether the drive is mounted or turned on. The HD will likely need the AC adapter powered up but not the drive itself. But just try that: FW>HD>828MKII. Rememb...

Re: DP vs Garage Band and looping

Basically I think GB is inferior to DP and when I think it has functions that seem more user friendly thatn DP it drives me crazy..and then I too get frustrated and have to ask you gurus wth am I missing. I just assume that DP can do something similar but my ignorance won't permit the operation. I ...

Re: FW HD 828 MKII Daisy Chain

Hello forum, Did a search on this topic and did not find exactly what I was looking for. I'm on an iMac (see sig). Is it possible to daisy chain the external FW hard drive with the 828MK2? If so, how do I go about it? HD-828-FW port on the iMac? 828-HD-FW port on the iMac? The HD is not used for an...

Re: Is there a standalone apple loops browser?

Yeah, UVI Workstation is the workaround MOTU recommends for the Ethno SL problem and admittedly I was resistant at first not wanting to add a third party plug-in to handle it but I brought MSI into it and all my Apple loops etc. I realized the error of my ways regarding it as a one stop VI and loop ...

Re: Hearing Effects While Recording Vocals

I'm with you Newrigel. When I first started doing studio vocals I wanted to hear my "woobie" through the headphone mix, but the engineer taught me quickly why not to. I've never tracked with it since for myself or anyone I record. Plus I do a lot of layered harmony and BGV and it's got to ...

Re: best audio interface for D.P.?

I'll bet the sound would be indistinguishable to virtually anyone...certainly the public that listened to the product. The subjective nature of this stuff can be debated forever, but in the few actual controlled comparisons I've been involved with (including a pretty prestigious one I wrote about he...

Re: best audio interface for D.P.?

The question is sort of like, "what's the best car". The answer is wholly dependent on your purposes - studio or live, project studio, post production, full tracking etc. So my criteria is this: a studio that does broadcast production, small film post and composition, but doesn't do drum ...

Re: AmpGUI7 (now at AMPGUIMODS.COM)

I have wondered though frankly if there might be an opportunity for MOTU to get out ahead of the curve on this issue and consider mods a SELLING POINT compared to other DAWs, perhaps creating some sort of toolkit that would allow users to mix and match interface elements and then save skins as a sp...

Re: AmpGUI7 (now at AMPGUIMODS.COM)

It already is sort of a modular system. You just have to look and see what .png's are used where. Perhaps I will create another guide similar to the .xml guide. Available by donation, of course :) I'm not sure about putting more folders in the Supplemental one. That would be purely dependent on the...
