chance. If you discover this during the tracking session, you can adjust
the mic, try a different mic, etc. It’s better to get a sound that works

tweaking. (I think this is the main reason the vast majority of producers

this, but I can't find them, so, please forgive, but I need your help. I
finally installed the RME 9652 and Cubase SX3. I can't get them to sync up
at all. Cubase just sits there when I press play on Paris (I have the adat
sync hooked up) I have tried everything I can think of, changing settings
in the 9652 control panel to recieve adat sync, set cubase to recieve sync,
etc. I'm just talking transport sync so far...havn't even tried audio yet.
I previously had Cubase 1.06 sync'd up perfectly (sample accurate) with Paris
using a Frontier Dakota.
etc(but it's late so I may be missing something) Do you have any tips?????
RodI'm sure some of you guys are hip to this, but I thought I would put this
out there.

xMEC and 4xEDS + Magma.

As I have some nice outboard FX (6 units) and want to use
them on all MEC's and want to have them available on all
channels, I come to that "Aux buss suming problem".
(Btw., effects are: Lexicon 480L, Lexicon 300, TC M3000,
Lexicon PCM70, Sony M7 and Roland space echo.)

Did anyone found some quality solution on this topic????

As I have some skills in electrotehnics, I'm searching
for some DIY solution for this problem.
....something like "High quality 8x2 mixer with balanced I/O..."
Of course, I need 5 mixers of that kind.... or one 40x10...

I also considered a digital summing solution with ADAT interface
in every MEC, then summing ADAT signals in Friend Chip's
DMX12 or DMX16 digital matrix and then convert this summed
ADAT signal with 8ch. A/D to 8 analog balanced sends.
This solution is THE BEST, but it costs about 2700$ !!!!!

I must convert this signals to analog because not all of
my FX have digital inputs.... and Lexicon 300 acts little
bit wierd when conected digitally... ;*)

....well I think an HQ analog solution is the best idea...

Please, tell me if there was some workaraund on this topic.

THANX.


And, btw., these guys using the M-audio digital summing device,
take a look at DMX12 (http://www.friend-chip.de/dmx12.htm)
and DMX16 (http://www.friend-chip.de/dmx16.htm).
These devices are much more sophisticated then M-audio!
....but not worth a fortune...
:-)Rod wrote :"I think DJ switched back to ME to get multiple adats per mec."

Is that some problem with multiple ADAT cards per MEC IN XP ????????????????

I saw that some of you are using M-audio digipatch.

....well, it's good but take look at this stuff:

DMX 12 http://www.friend-chip.de/dmx12.htm
(12 x 12 crosspoint switch matrix, 24bit ADAT and SPDIF)
....about 675$

DMX 16 http://www.friend-chip.de/dmx16.htm
(16 x 16 crosspoint switch matrix, MULTI Digital Format - 4 modules!!)
....about 489$ mainframe + about 200$ for modules (ADAT,Spdif,AES, format
conversion...)


Excelent stuff. Isn't it?

Greetings,

SuadThat's awesome!

Congats!!!!

It's top quality, rock stable, ICH5R Sata raid, Excelent Intel Gigabit LAN,
AGP8x, 5 "normal" PCI busses, dual chanel DDR, no sound.

I have 2 of them. One for paris second for Cubase.
Works excelent.

I had some bad expirience with Asus P4C800. Realy bad expirience!!
From then, no Asus anymore!

>Hi All -

I know this is WAY off-topic, but I'm desperate and thought
maybe someone here might have some experience with this. I
recently picked up an old Zoom 9050 (half-rack unit made in the
early 90s). I remembered these sounding really cool, and got it
for like $75.


Problem came when I tried to hook a MIDI controller to it –
nothing worked. The Zoom has a MIDI monitor, and it displayed
nothing. Cables were good, and the controller works with other
equipment, so it’s definitely the Zoom. Strange thing is, the
MIDI in and out ports on the Zoom only have 3 conductors – now I
know that MIDI only uses 3 of the 5 pins, but almost all MIDI gear at least
has 5 connectors (even if only 3 are hooked-up).

Question – anyone know if there is some bizarre proprietary pin-
out for the Zoom MIDI cable? Anyone else experience problems
with Zoom 9030 / 9050 units and MIDI?

Thanks, and sorry for the OT message :)Hey,

I've had several of these units and every one of them was flaky in some
way. 2 of them just stopped working, one had the same no-midi issue.
Could be just a dud unit. Maybe not, but that's my take on them.

ps. they really do have some cool sound huh?

I should have added "and I'm just a shrimp in the sea
of audio."

But I do commit from time to time.

Cujo,
Just group the faders in Paris with chosen eq and
'relative' selected in one of the two faders. You'll never lose=20
the blend although it will take another track. These days
they're a dime a dozen.

But you knew that.

------=_NextPart_000_0029_01C5DB02.AF1D2EB0--I am looking at a 7 slot tower unit that has the 300W PS in it. Will that
be fine or should I find one with the 400w.
Thanks,
MattMagama bases the supply requirements at 25W per slot, which is the
most a PCI card is "supposed" to draw. Go with a 400W supply just to
be safe.

think there are HD shelves and IDE connectors in the towers though. Perhaps
this causes some kind of train wreck. I wish I could remember who I was
discussing this with. At the time I was considering this I remember I was
kicking it around with you, Brian T. Aaron Allen and Derek, I think.

Well anyway, what I got out of it was that the tower worked fine for office
purposes but restricted throughput so not to go with a tower for audio.

>LOS ANGELES (AP) - George Takei, best known for his role as Mr. Sulu in "Star
Trek," came out as homosexual in the current issue of a magazine covering
the Los Angeles gay and lesbian community. Takei told The Associated Press
on Thursday that his new onstage role as psychologist Martin Dysart in "Equus,"
helped inspire him to publicly discuss his sexuality.
Takei described the character as a "very contained but turbulently frustrated
man." The play opened Wednesday at the David Henry Hwang Theater in Los Angeles,
the same day that Frontiers magazine featured a story on Takei's coming out.
The current social and political climate also motivated Takei's disclosure,
he said.
"The world has changed from when I was a young teen feeling ashamed for being
gay," he said. "The issue of gay marriage is now a political issue. That
would have been unthinkable when I was young."
The 68-year-old actor said he and his partner, Brad Altman, have been together
for 18 years.
Takei, a Japanese-American who lived in a U.S. internment camp from age 4
to 8, said he grew up feeling ashamed of his ethnicity and sexuality. He
likened prejudice against gays to racial segregation.
"It's against basic decency and what American values stand for," he said.
Takei joined the "Star Trek" cast in 1973 as Hikaru Sulu, a character he
played for three seasons on television and in six subsequent films. He received
a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1986.
A community activist, Takei ran for the Los Angeles City Council in 1973.
He serves on the advisory committee of the California Civil Liberties Public
Education Program and is chairman of East West Players, the theater company
producing "Equus."

<insert tasteless joke>

No, Mr Sulu.. I said set a course for Uranus,not 'your ....'

ARRGGHHHH!!!


AAHmmm... I'll have too pay a little closer attention to the
inside next time I open ours. Say, while we are on the
topic... do you have that resistor mod thingy in yours? I
wonder if that was a tech note just for the tower models...
