So, I have literally searched this forum for roughly 6 hours today...(I checked my history) I use an 828MKII, today I tried to pair it with an 896HD to no avail. In the process I messed something up, neither unit will fully power on unless I unplug the firewire from the back of the units. (Neither u...

The reason I love this forum! It always pays to search before you ask, it saves so much time! Thanks for the tip, now back to mixing!!!

828MKII and DP 6.03 and all works wonderfully here,downloaded and worked on some projects today without a hitch. Hope everyone gets back up and working very soon!

I run an 828MK2 and recently was got my hands on the original 896, I would like to stick with the 828 but use the pre's on the 896 when needed. I have the 828 clocked to my Lucid and the 896 is clocked there as well but it doesn't show it syncing unless I plug in the firewire from the 896 but then t...

I agree, I program most all my drums and it just doesn't compare...(IMHO) The last project I finished is getting some good attention from A&R and publishing folks, they loved all the songs but could tell the drums were samples on the ones they deemed "the singles" What did we do? We we...

Hey Brad!

Thanks for weighing in! I will not be purchasing drums at this time, my clients hire out session drummers so I won't have to worry about it at this point.

I love my 828, I am also a fan of the presonus piece you suggested...that may just be the way to go!

Done completely in DP 5 and 6, upgraded about halfway through... Live drums on three tracks, rest were programmed by me. I played most everything on the album but live drums and two of the bass tracks...Kim, the artist, also played Acoustic Guitar on most everything. This is the second album I have ...

Well... Just bought a house and am building a studio in the new garage, complete with a live drum/amp room. In the past I went to another studio to do drums for my clients and dumped the files back into DP in my studio, now I am having to step up and get more mics and pre's. I currently have the 828...

It is both alarming and comforting to see this post, I am in EXACTLY the same boat and it is only with one specific song... Planning on calling MOTU in the morning, not that they will have an immediate solution but it is a good place to start. I have tried all fixes posted in this thread and it work...

I don't have a clue WHY or HOW this happens but I have experienced the same thing....Do you have an edit anywhere around there? (On the vocal line?) One thing I have done, and it worked a time or two, is create a completely new track and place JUST that passage there to see if it changes anything......

Anyone else experience a hiss being added to your instruments when you print as audio or freeze the track? I am having the same issue both ways...anyone else experiencing this?

It is almost like a distortion, all levels seem to be WELL below clipping though.

Thoughts?

Would say it depends on style of music, but I find the Neumann TLM103 to be a great mic on vocals and excellent on SO many other applications.

I feed it through my Millennia STT1 and it never ceases to give me great results!

My suggestion, build your own. You can save money and get the enclosure you want. I have built my own for the last 3 years and have never looked back. I prefer Seagate because they never fail me, but you know it will at some point. Check out http://www.otherworldcomputing.com , they have everything ...

I too have a new IMAC and the 828MKII and use my FW drive connected to the 828 with no real problems...if I unhook it I have to restart the computer with the drive connected to the 828 again...that is about it.

Cheers!

Thanks Mike,

I think I did try that with the same results, I will try again to make sure though...

Thanks for your help!
