YEAH!!! That solved the problem! I think I was trying to do the same thing under Preferences. Thanks again!
Has anyone else had luck, good or bad recording volume automation while recording audio?

Recording audio and fader automation problems?

I tried recording some audio and fader automation at the same time. The audio sound wave is shown in the tracks window, but when I hit stop, it disappears. I can play the audio and the automation works too, but I can't get any graphical displays at all. Happens in both DP 4 and 5. Any suggestions. T...

Are you going to use a split snake to get your inputs?

There is! Theoretically it's 4 GB but most get 2 GB @ most... C'mon DP6!!! At 44.1 16 bit there is 10 MB per minute (approx) so do the math and you'll see why... Hey Paul, could you find a second while your recording (say, in between songs for instance) just to stop DP then play some bars of the se...

Recording stopped after 1hour?

I was recording 7 tracks at 44khz though my Metric Halo 2882 into DP and after 1 hour 6 minutes, the recording stopped. It happened on two sets of music at about the same time length. I usually record through the Metric Halo software and them import to DP, but I wanted to try it differently and skip...

I use Peak to convert to .mp3. Peak is great when you have to batch convert a ton of files like I do for seminars and other corporate work. I haven't used iTunes in a while to rip to .mp3, but there were a lot of options as to the bit rate which equates to size and quality of the file.

Mod or not, it all comes down to sound in the end. Someone with a higher income than myself needs to do a shootout between the BLA modded 828mk2 w/ Microclock, the FF400/FF800, the MH 2882, and the Ensemble. And then again the entire combination clocked off of the Microclock AND the Big Ben. Then w...

I've got 2 MH2882, one with the DSP card. They sound and perform excellent. They have top quality converters, a great control panel, you can use the DSP model as plug-ins for your DAW or inserts on a live console, they require NO computer memory or processing to operate, 64 tracks of recording and y...

I've got Peak 4.13 and I don't have any problems. I open the file in Peak and edit as I need then "save as" using the same file name and location. When I open a DP file that the edited file is part of, DP will will examine and reload the file again. When using DP I use only .SDII files. Ho...

I use MW eq on almost all tracks. It has the best sounding low/high pass filters to me!! My Waves package can't remove unwanted lows and highs without sounding phasey to me. I do all live recording, so cutting the low end bleed from bass or high end bleed from cymbals is a neccesity. Very surgical f...

I've got two Metric Halo 2882's (one +DSP) and really like them for their sound quality and features. I also own three Presonus Digimax96k. I can't comment on the quality of the Digimax LT, but I like my 96k. Obviously there are far better pre's that have a much higher price tag. I would say that th...

Here's the email I got from Presonus... The LT and original 48k DM use 24bit Alesis converters. The Digimax 96k and Digimax FS use higher end AKM's. All 4 have different preamp designs. ; ) We like to keep it interesting rather than copy/paste the same preamp design over and over like some folks do....

Maybe clocking issues?
