I sent them a down payment and got on the schedule (March 19). Analog is all they will do for now until their new external clock mod is ready.

Can't wait to hear it!

Thanks for the responses.

Black Lion mods

Anybody had the Black Lion Audio mods done on their 828 MkII ? I have heard some good things about them. They are currently upgrading all the analog op amps (pres, lines, headphones) and a external clock mod is coming out soon. The analog mod for a 828 Mk II is $295. web site: Black Lion Audio Anybo...

bluegrass

I would recommend that the band supply you with CD of their favorite band or a band that represents the sound they are after. This is really important during the mixdown. Be careful that the banjo doesn't bleed through into everyone elses mic. They tend to be the loudest instrument and bluegrassers ...

Re: Can't playback two tracks!

OK, I rebooted everything for the third time and added a guitar track while monitoring the bounced bass/drum track. Played back the guitar and bass track with EQs and reverb. Computer meter is about 1/4. Playback meter is about 1/2. it didn't choke though! Everything at 24/96. I'm hoping this was an...

Re: Can't playback two tracks!

Thanks, Chris. I tried upping the HW Buffer to 1024. No good. I bounced the stereo tracks down to two mono tracks and disabled play on the tereo tracks - still no luck. Starting to sound like my disc drive just won't hack it. I thought I should be able to at least get 4 - 6 tracks at 96kHZ with this...

Can't playback two tracks!

I just installed DP4.6 and recorded two tracks and my computer chokes when I try to play them back! A stereo drum track and a stereo bass track. No inserts, no effects. The tracks are audio on a seperate internal WD 60GB drive 7200RPM with nothing else on it. Mac dual 1.8, OSX.3.9, 1.5GB, 2 disc dri...

Re: MachFive and GigaSampler

I looked at Spectrasonic web site demo's.

Trilogy is awesome! The most natural sounding bass I've heard yet from a virtual instrument.

Thanks for the tip croftish!

Re: MachFive and GigaSampler

Thanks, heavypick. Using Machfive sounds fairly straight forward. I do play some bass but doing in the MIDI format lets me assign upright bass, for example, and other types of basses I don't have access to. Now to try and justify the expense! Hmmm... for the price of a new cheap bass guitar I could ...

Re: MachFive and GigaSampler

Thanks for the response and info. I will be using a Roland guitar synth on my stratocaster to play the bass lines and create a MIDI track in DP5.2. How does MachFive work then as a virtual instrument? I've never seen it demo'd so I don't have a clue. And, is there a better way to get a high quality ...

MachFive and GigaSampler

I use DP5.2 and a dual 1.8 G5 with OS 10.3.9. I usually record acoustic music (bluegrass) guitar, mandolin, banjo, vocals. I am interested in using sampled upright bass and ran across this collection: Dan Dean Giga Bass Collection (GigaSampler) dandeanpro.com The demo at this web site sounds incredi...
