[ddots-l] Re: emergency help needed on an audio interface

So, Phil, you are basically saying I should cancel my order with ADK now and
contact this guy? What makes him better than ADK. It sounds to me like they
have a good knowledge of what they are doing for the most part.

changing my order, since I put a lot of time and sweat into researching this
out, and I wanted
to get the system with jaws and sonar already installed, and stuff.

 

Phil replied: I understand.  Yet another reason to go with Jim Roseberry.
Jim would have specked the system up for you and probably installed all of
that too.

the fw works, then I have
16 ins and outs to play with. If it doesn't, I can still control sonar with
the tascam, and I can use its midi, but not its audio, but I can use the
audio
in other apps, so I can split off the tascam and motu to do two different
tasks for broadcasting versus studio recording, respectively.

 

Phil replied: that sounds like an expensive way of doing this.

 

Damon wrote: I know some who
have ADJK systems who have no problems with the Tascam. And honestly, I
don't want to go through the nightmare of basically canceling my order and
starting
this process again. I know Bryan from Dancing Dots personally and I think he
is steering me in the right direction. I hope, anyway.

 

Phil replied: just trying to save you some money and grief.  Bryan is a good
guy.  I just wouldn't personally touch an ADK system with a barge pole.

 

Damon wrote: But, I put a lot of
months into this since I can't record my album on what I already have and
with the motu, I have some extra things at my disposal, internal effects and
compression, a peak limiter so I won't overload the mic inputs like I do on
the tascam because I underestimate vocals all the tiem, and more analog ins
and outs. I may be albe to hook the tascam up to the motu through the adat
connectors and use the audio that way, but I am not sure, have to recheck
the
manual on that, maybe I am wrong. So, this isn't a completely bad thing. I
just feel stressed out by trying to do this all again with a new company.

 

Phil replied: well as I said, Jim would have specked the system up for you
in a few minutes.

 

Damon wrote: The system is specked out as follows:

 

Intel quad core 2.4 ghz

 

Phil replied: FWIW, that's a slow system isn't it?  We are now on to duel
Quod core and beyond.

 

4gb ram

 

Phil replied: no point in putting in 4GB on Windows XP Pro 32 bit as that
will make the system really unstable that is, if your intending to use the
3GB switch.
