ray dsr Posted July 3, 2001 Share Posted July 3, 2001 I'd love to get some feedback on using a computer as a 2-track master recorder. Is anyone doing this? After numerous problems with my Masterlink, I think I'm ready to try something different. Any thoughts? Thanks, ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray dsr Posted July 4, 2001 Author Share Posted July 4, 2001 Someone out there must be doing this! Or at least have an opinion about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro Jules Posted July 4, 2001 Share Posted July 4, 2001 Many folks (including me) mixdown to 2 tracks in their DAW. I do this. I get 24 bit mixes of my Pro Tools sessions. I skip the Pro Tools 'bounce to disc' function as it has quality issues. Many folks do this. If you can get a sound card that accepts SPDIF the you could 'capture' your (I presume) analog mix at 24 bit with one of the many excellent converters avaiable Cranesong hedd Apogee PSX 100 Apogee Rosetta Lucid ????? RME There are many more... The advantage for you is potential 24 bit (perhaps 96k depending on the card and converter) instant mastering editing copilation with out squinting into the masterlink.... bit late here now, perhaps someone else could finnish off!!! But I say go for it! Jules London UK Jules Producer Julian Standen London, UK, Come hang here! http://www.gearslutz.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray dsr Posted July 4, 2001 Author Share Posted July 4, 2001 I already mix down through the tc finalizer converters, so I can store 24/96. I'm just looking for the best computer program and tips to do what the Masterlink does only better (store the mixes, edit and compile them, burn them to CD's). -ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro Jules Posted July 4, 2001 Share Posted July 4, 2001 How are you getting 96 k into the Mac remind me!? DAW editing ROCKS you should be happy... Jules Jules Producer Julian Standen London, UK, Come hang here! http://www.gearslutz.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray dsr Posted July 4, 2001 Author Share Posted July 4, 2001 Right now I'm not getting 96k into the Mac. That's why I'm looking for tips from the folks who are. What programs and interfaces are everyone using to acheive this? I don't even have a new Mac yet. Just the Masterlink. I love what the ML claims to be able to do, but find it unreliable overall. Plus, it seems using a computer for the same features would be better and clearer to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Seaberg Posted July 7, 2001 Share Posted July 7, 2001 I've been mixing to Sonic Solutions on a Mac for some time, but you don't want to spend that kind of money. A GREAT I/O card for the price is the Lynx Studio www.lynxstudio.com/lynxone.html with a retail price of $550, it includes drivers for PC and Macs so you can use almost ANY editing software with it, including ProTools Free! The card is 24-bit 96k capable with AES or S/PDIF I/O as well as wordclock I/O, highly unusual for a card of this price. We also have a copy of Peak www.bias-inc.com/ that works great as a two-track editor. It will read and write ANY file format, keeping your options to export files to Mac or PC. ------------------ ERIC SEABERG San Diego, CA eseaberg@home.com ERIC SEABERG San Diego, CA eseaberg@home.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Seaberg Posted July 16, 2001 Share Posted July 16, 2001 Mr. Darling, I don't have the Lynx card yet, but I would guess that OMS would see it, yes? You may want to double check Lynx's site for more info. ------------------ ERIC SEABERG San Diego, CA eseaberg@home.com ERIC SEABERG San Diego, CA eseaberg@home.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
