have (1) loaded MEC (2 of everything). At one time, I used an ADAT loop
for realtime dumping of 8 tracks (8 insert sends to 8 new tracks, printed).
But 3 and 4 never worked. I swapped the EDS card that the MEC was connected
to (after swapping out the ADAT card twice) and things were healed.
Never bothered to do an exhaustive investigation - just chalked it up to
Paris weirdness.
Try a different EDS card in the same position on your mobo, connected to the
same MEC / ADAT combination. See if that does anything...

Hello, Easter greetings by the way. Hey the other day I =
smelled smoke and heard a crinkling sound in the back of my preamp rack =

grey thing on the cuircut board, I think it's a diode ->l, melted right =
off of the board. Any one know what this is? I can't get a picture just =
yet up on the net but I'll try and describe it.
It's appx. 3/4" by 1/2" by 1/4" thick, has 4 pins on the =
bottom which solder to the cuicut board, dark grey colored and is coded:

RU A 90=20
+ AC -
Anyone of you electronics wizards know where the heck I can =

You guys are great,
Thanks

PS. By the way I broke down and got a Myspace site now. Check =

ntemplating the Logic+Apogee Symphony package. Any thoughts?
Are any of you folks running real studio sessions on Logic systems? How
about latency? Track count? Native FX? UAD-1 FX? And most importantly
- how's it sound?
GanttI was using Logic at the same time as Paris for years and finally now do pretty
much
everything in Logic. It's great to have accurate copying and pasting to different
bars
of music, it's great to use the latest UAD plugs etc. What made it more bearable
to
do sessions with talent present was getting a Mackie controller. I hear great
things
about the Symphony system and that its latency numbers are close to or as
good
as Paris. Logic sounds just fine to my ears. It almost never crashes (maybe
once a
year). Also it has plug-in delay compensation which is worth the price of
admission
right there. There's always issues and this is a good forum:

Just my opinions,

>GanttHey all,
Something interesting has started happening of late--I'm maxing out my DSP
plugs while still having all kinds of room left on my host, but without a
lot of plug-ins I really like. The ones I _do_ like tend to be very CPU friendly,
stuff like the PSP 84 delay and the Orange Vocoder. Reverbs I don't use a
lot anyway and prefer what's on Creamware card to anything I've heard in
software world. So I guess it's basically dynamics and EQ and modulation
effects I'm looking for. Opinions? Suggestions?
It just seems silly to be juggling things and freezing tracks with my CPU
meter at, like, 7% during a mix.

inly common tools that I¡¦ve found to be:
a.) highly useable, with user-friendly interfaces & controls
b.) sound damn good, or at least sound damn good for a specific purpose or
two, and..
c.) are well-written, to the extent that they don¡¦t suck undue CPU power
for no reason
Keep in mind, you may like some stuff I don¡¦t and vice-versa ¡V we all have
different ears, but in any event I can guarantee that none of these suck,
so that¡¦s a good place to start! ƒº To keep it organized, I¡¦ve sorted
them for you by classification/category. ALL direct download links are for
the Windows vst versions (and specifically XP or later versions, where specified)
¡V some apps may have other versions, which is why I also supplied the product
pages where applicable.
Off we go!
***Comps/Limiters/Other Dynamics***:
BuzMaxi:
Pretty damn good transparent brickwall limiter/volume maximizer. Has ¡§smooth¡¨
and ¡§aggressive¡¨ settings. Stick it on your 2-buss, baby! This is version
3 of BuzMaxi; if you can find a copy of version 2 somewhere, I actually like
that one a little bit better, but this one doesn¡¦t suck.
Product Page: http://www.x-buz.com/BuzMaxi3.html
Download: http://www5c.biglobe.ne.jp/%7Ebuzzroom/files/BuzMaxi3_130.zi p
GeneComp & GranComp:
Also from x-buz; GeneComp is a linear compressor, GranComp is a harder-knee
compressor. Both come in singleband & multiband versions. I find that the
presets are also pretty useful as a starting point for various stuff. Try
out GranComp on Kik, Snare, Rock guitars & bass. Try the multiband GranComp
on kick & set each band real hard & then duck down the level on the middle
quite

Note: DON¡¦T USE the
¡§auto¡¨ setting on output, it¡¦s insanity ¡V don¡¦t even know why he put
that option in there.
Product Page: http://www.braindoc.de/english/vstEn.html
Download: http://www.braindoc.de/vst/Compressor_v1.0.1.zip
Ruby Tube:
A somewhat hard-nosed limiter that can also introduce some tube-ish distortion¡K
I¡¦ve found it can sound good on bass (both electric bass & synth bass stuff)
& toms¡K kick - maybe, depends on what you like. Seems better on low-end-ish
stuff overall.
Product Page: http://www.silverspike.com/?Products:RubyTube
Download: http://www.silverspike.com/Download/RubyTube.zip
DigitalFishPhones Spitfish:
The VERY BEST stand-alone plugin de-esser available, IMO (although I find
the de-esser in Voxengo¡¦s Voxformer to be better, but that¡¦s a paid product
& is part of a processing unit with other features). The product page & download
links give you the entire ¡§Fish Fillet¡¦s¡¨ package, which includes some
other plugins, as well. Toss the other ones, keep ¡§Spitfish¡¨ (OK, keep
the other ones if you like ¡¥em, too).
Product Page: http://www.digitalfishphones.com/main.php?item=2&subItem =5
Download: http://www.digitalfishphones.com/binaries/the_fish_fillets_v 1_1.zip
***Delays/Reverbs***:
Classic Delay:
Another Kjaerhus plugin¡K and a pretty damn good stereo delay! Can be set
to tempo sync, or manual; has analog emulations, and a really clean/pronounced
digital delay sound. Good one!
Product Page: http://www.kjaerhusaudio.com/classic-delay.php
Download: http://www.kjaerhusaudio.com/archives/classic_delay_v103.zip
BrainDoc Stereo Delay:
A very wash-y delay sound¡K clean, but responds more like an analog delay
¡V has some modulation & cross-channel feedback capabilities as well. A very
rich / lush delay sound.
Product Page: http://www.braindoc.de/english/vstEn.html

PSP PianoVerb:
A pretty good-sounding, artifact-heavy (but in a good way) rev

power here. I c
