up until the OEM's start giving USB3 interfaces, Firewire is the way to go even though its a dying breed. I just recently built an AE computer myself with an i5 processor, 8 gigs of ram and a Siig firewire card. Go with the Siig for your card. Its $80(US), but it has a TI chip and its Pro Tools...

That is pretty right on. I've been looking to do something like this with vocals since I have to record them in my car with the ipad, (I live in a small apartment). I use Reaper as my DAW though. How easy do you think this would be to import into a Reaper project? I want to know for sure before...

Dude, this is pretty awesome. The vocals are a little odd, (you already knew that) but the actual music behind it is really fuckin good. I'm digging the layers. It'd be great if you elaborated a bit on the whole process for what you did here.

That's kind of what I was starting to think, just wanted to be sure. No big deal, just the other guy is buying his own. What would be the best way to install? I was thinking an external hard drive so it wouldn't eat up all of my resources. Would that be good enough? Or should I grab an...

Just picked up a copy of Hollywood Strings Gold and I'm curious about multiple system possibilities. I have my main desk system, a mobile setup with my laptop, and one of the other band mates wants to use it on his system. If I get multiple iLoks, is this possible? I read on their website that...

Ok, thanks for the input. Any suggestions on how to improve?

Finally finishing up with my own projects and getting back to my mixing practice. Please take a listen to these two that I've done recently and give me some honest feedback. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4038393/Scar%20Symetry.wav https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4038393/Jotun.wav

My crack at it. No automation, so I already know a few places could be better. I'm mostly concerned with the sounds and tones. Thanks for the feedback. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4038393/Jotun.wav

Here's my attempt. All mixed in head phones and there is no automation, so I know the vox could be better, but its one of the first mixes I've worked on in a while. Just getting the rust out. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4038393/Scar%20Symetry.wav

Great arrangement. Definitely nailing the EPIC sound. Really need those guitars to be louder though. Then it would just fucking slay.

Lots of REALLY great info here. Glad to have someone around with so much knowledge on the subject. One thing that I've noticed that hasn't really been mentioned yet is volume. I'm a baritone that can do a Matt Barlow impersonation in my sleep, but for the life of me, I can't get screaming down...

The Marshall 9000 isn't too bad if you don't plan on using it for really heavy tones. I've got 2 of them that I may be willing to part with if you're interested.

The 6505 is long gone. lol. And a POD Xt isn't an option at the moment. I need to try to make the best out of what I've got, hence the original problem.

My main amp is 6505, but its died a sad death and I'm stuck with using my back up rig for a while that consists of using an old Marshall 9000 preamp. :erk: I'm having issues with getting a balance of a good metal rhythm tone with a decent lead tone. I've tried to run my pedals a couple of...

Gotcha. I figured that would be the crux of the whole thing. Any suggestions for switching patches? What's the best way to set up both Reaper and my computer to make sure that things are running as efficiently as possible and as easy as possible with switching back and forth with different amp...
