i found the 824's a bit much for my tastes (where's the sub?), when i tried them. i ended up trading them in for 3 more 624's (i already had a pair i was going to use as rears), and have been really happy with them. one of the coolest pairs of speakers i've ever used (at least for a good "b&quo...

i thought on the motu diagram, for multiple interfaces, they show the dual firewire connections, as well as word clock connections...apparently, by their recommendations, the way joscho has it set up is by the motu book... i have never tried it (i only have one interface), but this looks like it cou...

can a cardbus firewire/usb card even supply power (without an external a/c adapter)? i thought that on my friend's pc, it would not. if it can though, that's the route i want to go as well... in the meantime, i got a targus chillhub. so i have my traveler running on the firewire400 slot (bus powered...

i haven't heard of any specifically, but you won't want to daisy chain it with your audio interface or "tape reel" hard drive, due to bandwidth...that's just pretty much universal firewire stuff. the only thing i know about the tc is that it uses a wrapper for au effects, and unless i'm mi...

i just picked up a traveller yesterday. here's a limited (and not very well documented) rough comparison of my system's behavior with 3 interfaces (focusrite saffire, built-in soundcard, traveller). i started a project (exclusively VI's) with the focusrite saffire. battery2, absynth2, pro53, alphaka...

i'm using reason 2.5 (stilll...gotta upgrade!), and NI Komplete2. There are a LOT of patches for NI, but after getting them installed, i have no issues that i can think of...they all seem to play very nicely, actually. i particularly love pro53, absynth, and battery2. they're the ones i almost alway...

i'm assuming the ports in question are bass ports... for stuff like that, traps are probably your best bet. i don't think diffuser or absorption pads would do you much good (they primarily work on higher freq's due to their shorter wavelengths). if traps are a can't do, you could try to move your mo...

The Commands window is actually a killer way to get into DP. You can learn a lot about DPs capabilities just by browsing this window. Yeah Man! I never read the manual (not that one shouldn't), I just browse the Commands window. And that it has a search function makes it doubley killer (or is it, '...

my front left and right are equidistant from my listening position (37 inches), and 30 degrees from the center line. i used pink noise (-20db), an spl meter (c-weighting, slow response) and made sure their levels were the same. the stereo imaging/balance is excellent :) unfortunately, since i do not...

lotsa nice new stuff in there...mine are still the usual: 1. better performance optimization (ala logic). 2. bug fixes. that stuck MIDI note thing is driving people nuts. 3. native support for aiff/wav/bwav formats (i.e. no import to sdII). 4. pan law of -6db for mono channels, and -3db for stereo c...

a few recommendations/tips: 1. go for the brightest projector you can afford. i've seen some very nice mits and sony dlps lately that would do great. 2. many newer projectors have a vga pass-through port, so you may be able to get away without a distro amp, assuming your runs aren't too long, and yo...

i think a broadcast wav is basically a "restricted" wav (only either MPEG or PCM content for maximum compatibility) with SMTE information embedded, as well as other identifying info, such as title, author, etc. think of it sort of like a location-aware (time-wise) wav with an id3 tag. for ...

That creative encoder may be good for monitoring, but what about encoding for disc? AFAICT, there is no facility for capturing the DTS stream to disk to make cds, dvds etc. insofar as i'm aware, that is correct. from what i understand, the creative box allows you to get around playback of copy-prot...
