ds to turn me off from some of their mics.

For pre/comp we've either used a Langevin DVC with just a bit of the limiter
coming in or the Sytek on some of the backing vox. I've also had our SE Ribbon,
a borrowed SE Gemini, and a couple of other mics up on the stand but for
male vox we're settled on the Bottle or the Claytor.

Not the fanciest chain by any stretch but pretty good bang for the buck.
I've only done a little test mixing but so far but I've been using the SSL
modeled Focusrite plugs for EQ/Comp when mixing. They sound pretty sweet
to me.

Not sure what laptops you have been looking at so far. Having Intel chip set and TI firewire chip set are the biggest things to look for.
Most mainstream laptops especially budget ones use Ricoh or Via firewire chip sets.

It would only be a "nightmare" to uninstall Vista if the laptop makers had locked out the BIOs so that it only functioned in AHCI or Raid mode for the SATA controller.
Otherwise it would be just that you would need a XP SP2 OEM install disk with the Intel AHCI/RAID controller driver slipstreamed in to it.

If you want to go the Vista route I would recommend using either Vista business 32 or Business 64 edition for audio/video use.
Sense laptops only use 4 gigs of ram total you would be best of using Vista 32 business.
Using the 32bit version will also help with some driver and program support.

I can guarantee that the Vista systems you get from the mainstream manufacturers will be loaded down with 3rd party crap and all the bells and whistles turn on full.
You should check to make that the maker gives you a real OEM Vista Install disk not a custom one.
The custom ones will usually come with some of the junk software pre-installed.
So even if you wiped the drive and did an fresh install with that disk you may still end up with all that junk there.




Assuming you are using the right PC components then this is the audio software and hardware that i know works fine with 32 and 64 vista

Software -

Sonar 7 32
Sonar 7 64
Cubase 4 32
Cubase 4 64
Reaper
Native Instruments ( Current versions, not all the hardware stuff under 64)
All of the most recent Steinberg

page there where you'd normally go to find this info, and I'm in
the process of developing it. I should caution you in advance that Deej, who
was the contributor of the posted info, has warned us that these times are
from an earlier version of the UAD and may no longer be operative. I'll post
verified/current UAD latencies as they become available, and in the
meantime, just in case any of the currently posted numbers seem to work for
you, you'll find the page at:

size, type, modified, attrib. In Vista, if I copy pics from my camera or

creates crap like, genre, and 2,3,4,5 stars, and album, and artist, so on.
Also, the administrator pop ups are annoying as hell. I do not use Vista
for recording. Also, you need at least 1gig ram for Vista basis and 2 gig
for Vista premium just for the system to run at a decent speed.

WayneTyrone,

Thanks for the tip. When I get a chance I'll contact both the NG software
makers and perhaps even Google and see if it can't be resolved.

You should be on Firefox though anyhow. ;o)

Cheers,

I use a Dell Inspiron 6000. I won't recommend it because when the pwr
supply is plug'd in I hear noise from poor grounding. I think it's a Dell
problem. The only way to get rid of the noise is to unplug the pwr cord and
run on batteries or, I've got a 2' wire with alligator clips on both sides
and I manually ground the laptop to my mackie board or pwr amp or any bare
steel.

2. Even though I only use the laptop to create and edit midi sequences (to
later dump into Paris), I do still record rough audio (vox and acoustic gtr)
to it via M-audio MobilePre USB 2.0 so that it's easier for me to build the
midi sequences. The mobile pre is 2 in and 2 out with headphone. In other
words, I find a simple midi drum loop, loop it for 4 minutes, play the
acoustic and sing and then I begin building the sequences.

I tried the mobile pre by itself but I didn't like the direct monitor
function. This would have been ideal, (the mobilepre fit in the laptop
case) but as you will see, I now have to haul around a mini mixer also.

I just use Sonar Cakewalk Home Studio and the efx's only work on playback so
while singing a rough take onto or into a midi sequence project, I have no
reverb. Blah! So, what I have done for my portable rig is run the mic and
acoustic into my CFX12 mackie with built in digital efx. I route channel

5
(vox) out of aux 1 and channel 6 (acoustic) out aux 2 to the mobile pre and
via USB into the laptop Cakewalk project. I mute these two tracks in the
project while recording. The aux sends are dry signals for recording.

While I'm recording, the project is playing back the drum loops or bass
lines or whatever keyboard parts are on the sequence. The mobilepre grabs
the laptop audio via the USB and sends it to my mackie channel 1 and 2
(L/R). So I listen to L/R playback and I let the acoustic and vox signal
continue down thru the mackie channels and into the mains. The mains now
contain the project L/R playback and my vocal and acoustic signals with the
efx's placed on the mains so I have some or a lot of reverb as I'm tracking.
I listen via headphone output which is the mains signal out with efx's.

Hope this helps.


WayneSome of the Celeron and the last Pentium 3 processors use motherboards that
have the Flip Chip - Pin Grid Array or FC - PGA socket. - This is not a new
socket, just a new name for Socket 370.

However, Socket 370 is now dead. The Celeron and Celeron D (not a dual-core)
processors do not use Socket 370 or Socket 478 motherboards, they use the
same LGA775 socket as Pentium D (dual-core) and Pentium 4 processors, both
of which have been superceded.

Intel Pentium 4 processors (superceded) use the earlier Socket 423 and
Socket 478, or the current Socket LGA775 motherboards, which run the latest
Intel Core 2 Duo (dual-core processors) and Intel Core Quad (quad-core
processors).

No, it's not the same. This kind of upgrade would be more for someone that
already has this type of mobo, IMO or knows where to get one.

Tom's Hardware to see what was recommended in the past, sifting out the nut

possible that you can't find a mobo for it, which is more or less why I said
upgrade instead of new rig. I see this as more of an upgrade to someone
that already has a compatible motherboard.

I'd say the standard for this era CPU are going to be 5 PCI slots, onboard
USB and stick to name brands like Asus, Abit or Gigabyte. Use Intel chipset
for the motherboard. This is a socket 370, also known as a flip chip also
known as FCPGA (Flip Chip - Pin Grid Array). That is the CPU socket you're
looking for in the bargain bins for mother boards.

Hopefully that helps clear up some things?

Changing power supplies made zero difference. However, lifting the power
adapter ground pin got about 75% of it. Safe? Not really, but it makes it
almost managable. A Ebtech Hum Eliminator oughta catch the rest but I've
long since moved on so I never tried it. YMMV, FYI.

nd power block on laptops are the first place manufacturers will cut corner to make the laptop cheaper.
If some one doesn't have a grounding problem on a laptop then it is more to do with luck.

Your method of dealing with is the correct one.

> chrisl@adkproaudio.comI've asked about this but it was ages ago and I'm curious to check in again.
when I upgraded to v.3.9 of the UAD-1 Powered Plugins I began having problems
with clicks, pops and occasional loud (REALLY LOUD!) hooting noises that
scared my clients and me half to death. I tried to go back to v.3.7 but
could not. UA tech support was useless - they no longer support Mac OS 9
and no one seemed interested in even trying to help. So, I've pretty much
quit using the UAD-1 FX w/ Paris. Is anyone else running Paris on a Mac
w/ UAD-1 v.3.9?

GanttCrap, I recomended (a couple months ago) Norton Ghost to a friend. :-(
I use Ghost 2003
