Take, 1. Is it possible to use OSC commands to control transport on Boom Recorder? 2. Any plans to incorporate a small menu to control a talkback channel for outputs? I ask because i've been considering setting up a mrmr controller for boom recorder with my ipod touch. http://createdigitalmotion.com/tag/mrmr/ A

The Motu Traveler has 8 analogue inputs and an additional 4 digital inputs SPDIF and AES. So I tried using my SD744T to provide 4 analogue to digital conversions to feed both the SPDIF and AES Motu digital inputs in an attempt to have 12 analogue inputs. To my suprise the 744T fed both the SPDIF and the AES inputs on the Motu successfully and it did not seem to matter whether the digital out setting on the 744T was set to domestic or professional, it still worked. I ran a test with claps and zoomed in to the waveforms and was also suprised to see that there did not appear to be any delay on the digital ins (provided by the 744) alongside the analogue ins of the Motu. …

Hi, How many of us here actually use a HUI (Mackie/Euphonix/Tascam) together with the MBP and Metacorder with several interfaces available in the market? My Plan :- 1) MBP with SSD in the express card slot as the recording media of choice. Dailies on DVD-R 2) Metacorder with MHlab 2882+ and a Mackie HUI mod for 12V. 3) 702T as Backup and TC, Car scene, long walk and talk...........etc etc 4) Com line will be giving up 1 analog input on the MHlab 2882 and do some aux routing with the MIO software. Will like to hear some feed back on my setup, and also some idea on using a HUI on set. Alan Chong

i am interested in boomrecorder setups. i will be doing a show soon and am thinking of this for main recorder. If you use a macbook(not the pro) what is the setup since i think there is only the 1 firewire port( do you use a usb harddrive for backup?). i know that firewire external drive takes the load off the computer, but how are you plugging in the mixer? Also, whats the benefit of a mixer to something like a motu traveler as opposed to a mixer with firewire like the mackie onyx series, if there is a benefit. I will not have the budget for a cooper or any other top end mixer. How reliable is the system if you use the computer as dedicated recorder? any crashes? i…

I've done a great deal of audio recording on computers, on location mostly on a 12" Powerbook G4 w/ Metacorder. That won't be happening anymore because that computer was stolen off my sound cart on a job today. My other computer is a 1 year old MacBook 13" 2.16 Core Duo, and that is about to be hosed off and made into my audio computer. Any one have any caveats about using this model (or MacBooks in general) w/ Meta or Boom recorder? thanks Philip Perkins

Samsung Announces Mass-Production of 256 GB of Solid State Drive for Notebooks Wednesday night, electronics manufacturer Samsung announced that the company has started production of its 256GB Flash SSD. According to Electronista, the 2.5" solid-state notebook drive offers a sequential read speed of 220MB per second but faster sequential write speeds and records data at 200MB per second. The company has estimated that the unit can write 250GB of videos in about 21 minutes versus 70 minutes on a conventional 7,200RPM rotating disk and should be able to launch apps about 10 times faster.

In my increasingly desperate attempts to get yet more inputs for my under-powered Metacorder rig (G4 1.5 GHz), I hit on the idea of adding inputs via the USB2 port, since I really can't bog the FW (400) bus any more than I am already. I've done a test that looks good adding 2 tracks from a USB interface to the rig I already had (22 tracks, thus 24 tracks in record 24/48), and am reticent to go farther (until I'm even MORE desperate, that is)--the test is 90 min continuous record. Has anyone tried using combos of FW and USB2 input devices with Metacorder or Boom Recorder or anything else on a Mac laptop? Yes, I know I need a new computer. Tell my family and loan of…

If I close the program and or eject the hard drives I am unable to successfully relaunch BR without creating new directories? The program worked flawlessly during the 30 day trial but since purchase this has happened repeatedly...at least 4 times this past week. Restarting Macbook pro does not factor. The only workaround is starting BR with drives undocked then creating new folders after the drives are reinstalled. Not optimal to do for just a lunch break Genie shutdown, etc I'm mirroring using 1 FW500GB and 1 USB250GB with BR 7.22 / 2G RAM Again, for a 18 day shoot during trial period seamless on/off cycling Any other experiences or fixes? Please advise

Someone posted a link a while back to a really nifty utility that allows one to preview and move .wav files in a mac. I seem to remember that it also allowed one to attatch the .wav to an email as an mp3 and send it off to wherever. The company wot made it had a neat little video that showed you how to use it. BUT - I have lost the details. Can anyone remember what it was, please? Kindest regards, Simon B

Hi All, Has anyone tried this relatively new Yamaha unit as a Mixer / Interface for Boom Recorder or Metacorder? It looks to me to have a lot more FW i/O options than the Onyx units - you can route individual tracks back to the mixer channels for playback / remix, plus 6 monitor channels. Yamaha claim the 8 mic preamps are a great improvement on those in the 01V/96 and DM2000. cheers, nick

New product from MOTU: UltraLite MK3 MOTU UltraLite MK3 I am not sure what has changed from the original UltraLite. If I remember, what was missing from the first UltraLite was no facility for external clocking. - Jeff Wexler

I read about Take's work on Mirage recorder but was wondering about just getting a video monitor feed in BR and not worry about recording it. The PSC Miranda prototype http://www.professionalsound.com/Catalog/miranda%20cart%20closeup.htm has a cool screen layout, is there a way to incorporate video monitoring in BR without hogging resources? And/or are there any progs being used to monitor on the mac? Just trying to shrink the cart whenever possible

Since my show is on it's scheduled hiatus, which of course is tied in to the possible SAG strike, I have some extra time on my hands. I explored the Audiease site and two of it's plug-ins called "Altiverb 6" and "Speakerphone". What I am impressed with is the incredible range of choices for manipulating sounds wether it is for Film/TV Final sound mixing or music production. These plug-ins seamlessly integrate with Pro-Tools. "Speakerphone" can process sounds into hundreds of possible speakers, rooms and environments. Walter Murch used to do this in a practical way. He called it "worldization", simply put he would output a source through different speakers and re-re…

I just got a Fireface 400 and was wondering from experienced users about the clock's accuracy. Is it good enough to jam to a timecode slate every 4 hours or would I still need to get a better timecode source elsewhere. I used a MOTU Traveler and that clock is totally unreliable. I also tried a TC Konnekt 24D before and that clock seems relatively accurate. But the drivers plagued with issues.

Adobe has announced new version of Soundbooth. From Macworld site: "Last year when Adobe jumped into the Macintosh-audio editing business with its release of the Intel-only Soundbooth CS3 (), it did so with something less than both feet. Designed for those who didn’t require (or wouldn’t comprehend) a full-blown digital audio workstation (DAW) application, Soundbooth erred on the side of ease-of-use. It offered an intuitive interface, solid noise filtering, and a handy AutoCompose feature for generating customized background music. But it lacked the kind of more-advanced features—multitrack editing and the ability to place more than one AutoComposed score in a pr…

I was wondering if anyone here has had a chance to work with the latest MOTU 828mk3 FW interface? I need an affordable 8-channel A/D converter only (don't need mic pre-amps) and this looks pretty good. In particular I am interested in using it in location recording instead of a Traveler (slightly cheaper and I understand it is not capable of battery operation). 1. What should I use for a timecode source in long takes for video sync? 2. Thinking of purchasing Boom Recorder also, so how would I set the FW interface for a stable timebase? Mark Calice

Without meaning to, I topped my Metacorder "time-in-record" record last night at an HBO multicam shoot (SF Opera House, "Youth Speaks Poetry Slam" finals). 16 tr 24/48: 2 hrs 40 min. I didn't really want files that big but at the show start/roll-everything time there was still a line of people waiting to get in that ran all the way around the block, so people kept popping on stage and almost starting the show, riffing--you know the scene. All went well except for a DJ who decided to bust his sound-check feed levels by about 30db when the show started--the PA guy and I scrambled for the first few minutes but things settled down after that. The SF Opera House has a Scho…

This is probably the ultimate digital interface (I don't know what it costs) and now that it is DC power it is something we could actually use. At the 123rd AES Convention in New York City, Apogee Electronics Corporation unveiled Ensemble Mobile ($TBA), a battery operated version of the multichannel digital audio interface designed specifically for use with Apple Mac computers. Ensemble is the only multichannel audio interface with control functions built directly into Apple’s Logic Pro, Soundtrack Pro and GarageBand software. It is also compatible with any Mac OS X Core Audio software application. Ensemble Mobile features 36 channels of simultaneous audio, incl…

Hi there, does the traveler handle 8 inputs with line level (+4dB) or are the s.c. instrument inputs not capable for that high level? Thanks, Matt
