only one real issue I'm finding with monitor speaker setup versus car
To JBI:
May I recommend to you the current (March) issue of Recording magazine? The issue's focus is on monitoring, and it's got several articles you might find valuable. Better hurry; the April issue will hit the stands any day now. Peace, Paul |

Replacing a Car Radio

One thing you'll notice if you look at the video (even just long enough to see what the dashboard looks like) is that the radio is in a 2-unit high panel space with most of the controls in the space below the display. All of the replacement radios that I looked at were 1-space high with all the controls scrunched up into one space. In my partner's car ( a Toyota Opa around 2000ish) i just replaced the original Radio/Cassette/CD ,that had decided to wind the level (Volume for Mr T) up to full and subsequently only the Power button worked, with an updated model with Aux input. Got a used one for NZ$28 (about US$20). It was equally a 2 DIN unit jobbie, and has more comprehensive EQ than the old (treb/bass). geoff |

Cubase/Nuendo, Samplitude, Sonar, even Logic ContraTools was the first with big marketing, which does not always coincide with good quality products... |

Although it is doubtlessly the equal of any other comparable DAW software, and better than many, I resent ProTools because it achieved its status by being early on the scene, then cynically (a lá Apple) locking its users exclusively into their own hardware and software at escalated cost. Me ? I use Sonic Foundry, ooops Sony, ooops Magix Vegas Pro, Acid ProSound Forge, CD Architect, and Cocos REAPER. geoff |

So people want ProTools files of their project in the same way they used to want 24-track 2" tapes. It wasn't the sound quality or the ease of use, it was that they could walk into any studio and drop it down and pick up where they left off last session without having to worry about importing or exporting. The good news is that now that they are using 32-bit floats internally, it's at least bit-for-bit true if you turn all the processing off. Earlier versions of Pro Tools were not, making it pretty much intolerable for classical work. The UI is still horrible, but at least you can be sure what comes out is what goes in if you don't do anything specifically to it. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
