Hey peeps,
You, know, I'm really liking the DM3200 with Cubase 4
though James was absolutely right about the learning curve
when he advised me to give it 30 days with the
manual.
My only prob is that, with my day job, that month almost
literally becomes a month of Sundays!!!!!
Anyway I have to say that Tascam has done a really
good job with the new MKII firewire card. It makes the boardd work really
well as a controller and actually sounds better than I had expected. The
guys at the DM3200/4800 forum are
helpul, good guys too. There's some useful info there. Can't comment on the
mic pre's yet cause I haven't done any "live" tracking yet.
In a nutshell, while I lament the fact that no one picked
up the Paris banner and kept it a current, valid tool,
I've seen enough to decide I'm committed to this new set-up for a while.
Ton's of potential here especially if I am able to take the time to learn
everything on the board as well as
deepening my Cubase chops.
I'm keeping a minimal PARIS rig to experiment with as
a stereo summing buss. I haven't heard the new rig
that way yet though so I'll let you know when I get
there. (On that note I'm probably going to need to get
a word clock. Is the little Hosa WDC427 worth
bothering with? Don't have much left to spend)
I still have a KSP8 and BFD to learn and I think
the whole purpose of all this stuff is to actually
track and finish some tunes so I'm trying to curtail the usual time doing
the gear-head, noodle yanking, gear lust thing I'm
prone to and actually get a project done with what I have.
Anyway, just wanted to give you guys an update and BTW a fair portion of
my Paris rig is for sale (See my FS post).
Arriva Dishrag,
Jon
