http://www.icon-global.com/ShowPro.aspx?ID=135 Looks interesting- pretty compact controller, 100mm motorized faders and DC powered (not sure if it's 5V or 9V). Price is around £200

Hi Guys, This is probably old news in here, but I'd like some opinions... Have a major upcoming gig that requires a lot of fancy footwork (in terms of IFB, submixes, pre-recorded material playback, on-set ADR - all sorts of crazy). So I'm thinking PT for the flexibility that it will give me. I'm torn between going down the route of an external mixer (such as a DM2000, or the Presonus 24.4.2) to do all my routing and just use PT as the recorder (with 788's for backup), or to go with a controller such as the c24 and do all my routing "in the box". Any thoughts, feedback and/or life lessons gratefully appreciated. Cheers, James "Nova" Nowiczews…

Anyone had any experience using the Sony DMW-C3 control surface? http://pro.sony-asia.com/product/dmw-c3 It's pretty compact, DC powered (15V), has long throw faders and they occasionally come up on ebay for not very much However, it's made for their XPRI editing system and I'm not sure how it talks to the XPRI software (RS422? proprietary protocol?) I'm wondering whether it could work with GlovePIE or similar

I saw this in another post and rather than hijacking that one I thought it might be better to start a new topic. Apologies if you feel I was wrong in that assumption. Anyway, I've wanted to use my 702T in the same way. It only has 2 channels so SPDIF should work right? What cable/adaptors do I need to make this work? I have a Hosa Digital-Transfer Coax cable which has the RCA-style ends. (male on both ends). Do I just need a BNC to female RCA? I want this to go into the SPIDF input on my 002. Last question: am I limited to 48k/24bit/stereo? Or can I do 96k/24bit/mono? Thanks!

Just annonced by Steinberg: http://www.steinberg.net/en/products/nuendo/nuendo_live.html looks very useful, although it may depend on how easily the notes can be exported

I've been investigating options for production recording with a computer, and haven't found anything that really suits it for windows (and I don't want a new fruit-based computer) I've been using RME's global record function on Digicheck to do concert recording for some time, the recording is very stable and the metering's excellent. But it doesn't read time code, there are no metadata options and you have to name files when recording stops REAPER has all the functionality, but it is a full blown DAW and also has many functions which aren't needed on set. Maybe some templates could be useful? Does anyone have experience with either of these programs or any…

Hi guys, Just been wondering about how to do timecode with Pro tools 9 and my 003. I have lost several gigs lately because I don't have a recorder that does time code. I have a Tascam DR-680 and a SD442. I know from the studio that I can stamp the tracks with timecode by basically recording a track with a spmte file, but how then to sync cameras? I probably just need to break down and get a 788t, but cant quite afford it yet. Any thoughts on recording or doing playback straight out of pro tools with timecode(without owning SD or Zaxcom)? Some one mention to me that JLaudio makes a box that converts word clock in to smpte...Don't sound reliable to me?? Thanks …

Not exactly "Recording Direct to Computer" but sort of. I have had no experience with this but looks interesting. "Pro Audio To Go turns your iPhone into a 48 kHz professional audio recorder for use on location by news reporters, journalists, documentarians, musicians, DSLR videographers, filmmakers, producers and editors. With a single tap on your phone, you can record an AIFF audio file in 48 kHz. Upload the file directly to an FTP server or email it, then download and instantly begin using it in your editing system's Timeline. No conversion necessary!" Pro Audio To Go

The Sound Devices 788t has eight of arguably the best preamps and ADCs in a portable piece of sound equipment. It also has firewire ports. On top of that it is the industry standard for location based mutitrack recorder: most sound mixers either have one or are at least familiar with their use. Wouldn't it be AMAZING if this piece of equipment could be used as a computer audio interface? All the pieces are there. Its seem like it is only the software that is holding this machine back from becoming a whole new beast. I already use mine for its preamps in my project studio and then run it through a ADC/interface into Pro Tools. This would cut out a whole section of the sign…

So I'm wondering are Avid skipping the .x steps (as in PT 7.3) and releasing a new version every couple of months so they can make more money? Has anyone tried this new version, is it that different/better tha PT 9?

I have a couple of jobs coming up where I'm going to need to record quite a few channels of audio (more than 4, hopefully 16 or less). One job is with a lot of people talking and I'll be using a couple of Dugan Model-E's (which requires insert points). The other will be a doc about a modern composer and will include some live music recording. I own a Presonus StudioLive 16.4.2 mixer, which I've been very happy with, and I've been using the firewire out from that to record multitrack audio. But up till now, I haven't needed to worry about maintaining sync w/ video cameras over long takes. I know the StudioLive's wordclock is not especially accurate (altho I haven't yet mea…

Hey guys, First off- my main experience with audio is small time studio work and a bit of live mixing. I've been asked by my brother to capture quality audio at this wedding he's photographing and having a guy shoot with a D5. I'm planning on taking my fireface 800 and recording to pro tools... Timecode isn't an option as far as syncing the FF800 with the D5 (I don't think anyway). What are some things I should take into consideration? Are we going to run into crazy sync issues with a 20-30 minute ceremony clip? Has anyone had experience using a FF for live recording? I was planning on patching the mics directly into the FF and then outputting them to the live mix…

Hello everyone, It seems that Boom Recorder 7.25.3 is working on Lion, although I haven't spent to much time working with it. Right now I am trying to finish Boom Recorder 8.0.0 and get it on the App Store. Boom Recorder 8.0.0 will only work on Lion; this is because I wanted to use some new APIs. Next to a lot of small changes, the biggest changes are in the meters: - Optional vertical meters - Optional names on the meter, so that there is more room when using a lot of channels. - Optional maximum peak meter, which only resets once you click in the meter (sort of like a clipping indicator). Cheers, Take

SoundStudio software has been returned to the developer, Felt Tip Software, after it was being distributed for a few years by FreeVerse (a game developer). There is a new version out available from the MacApp Store for $29.00. There is no upgrade policy from v. 3.x to the new version 4.x but the price of $29.00 is essentially what SoundStudio upgrades were in the past. Also, once purchased through the MacApp Store, future updates will be free. I know a lot of people say just use Audacity, it's free, cross platform, etc., but I have never preferred Audacity over SoundStudio. I highly recommend SoundStudio for anytime simple 2-track program is needed. Notes from F…

Hi all! We´ve just updated our Pro Tools HD 3 PCIe to HD Native 9 and we´ve found that Apogee didn´t update its firmware to work with new Avid protocol. Yeap: looks horrible for us. We really have big investment in Apogee converters and what is more important; we are really use to these interfaces. PT 9 recognizes them but these doesn´t receive neither transmit any audio. We connect them through X-HD cards...

I remember (maybe 5 or 6 years ago) when I used Adobe Audition, I recall it being an awesome editing system except it didn't feature SMPTE timecode at that time. I'm wondering if Audition these days now feature it. And if so, can the program downconvert files from Bwf to MP3s while preserving the timecode on the file? Any info about the program or any other programs that can do what I'm inquiring about would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and I am PC based! Thanks!

I recently purchased a 15" Macbook Pro (Version 8 with Thunderbolt, etc.). It has OS X 10.6.7 installed, and I haven't been able to get MLAN Auto Connect to work. Any ideas? I'm also using a FW800 to 400 cable to plug into the MY16 card.

Not sure if this is the right area to post in but I'm looking for info on the AKAI LPD8 midi controller http://www.akaipro.com/lpd8 If someone could point me in the direction on "how to map midi controllers to wave files" would be great. What I'm trying to do is turn this controller (and my Mac Book Pro) into a "360 Shortcut". I would like to assign wave files to the pads to play them as sound effects or even music for playback situations on set. I have Pro Tools but have never dealt with the midi side of things. Thanks Andy

Is there any bleed of time code onto another track if I am constantly jamming Boom Recorder? Should I skip a track between the time code and audio channel just in case?

Hi Group, I have to start a show at the last minute and they are requesting 30ndf 48048 24bit. I've read all the posts and will be setting up like this 744T 48048 30ndf as master clock/sync source. Boom Recorder TC 29.97, clock set to spdif from 744t, hardware sample rate 48K, file sample rate 48K. Motu Ultralight is acting as a pass through for TC to analogue track on Boom Recorder. I think this is the "proven cheat" way of setting up Boom Recorder to record 48048. Any Comments? Many thanks, Patrick
