and if AirWindows is as good as it's touted to be, i may be able to get rid of the sum mixer and associated patch bays and hardware. LittleOne 8 if i can find one or a LittleOne 16. I just sold the mics so financing is on the way. any extra work needed for the stereo files can be transferred back to MixBus for further processing. if i decide later i want better i'll deal with it.Īrdour is my choice for 2-bus to "mix" to because it's free and it's the same basic platform that Harrison uses for MixBus. would love to get another STT-1 but i don't see that happening soon. any extra gain needed will be from the M-Audio, my JLM TMP8's or the MLA7. you have to go deep in the pocket to beat themįor the moment, 2-bus will be converted to 96 or 88.2 thru an M Audio Fast Track (a Focusrite Forte would be nice) I have laying around. those Cirrus converters are actually pretty good imo. if needed i can stripe smpte on the daw and lock the ADATS to that.įor the initial a/d, i'm sure the converters in the i/o26 will be just fine for me. īoswell, post: 421795, member: 29034 wrote: For the ADAT tapes, I remember you saying you have an Alesis=" …"]Alesis iO|26, and that has a pair of lightpipe inputs that you probably would want to use for this type of transfer, so would you transfer 8 or 16 tracks at a time and then line up the blocks of tracks in your DAW? Ooops! i said Audacity when i meant Ardour. Surprising as it may seem, Audacity works well as a two-track capture DAW as long as you don't rely on any of its processes that perform signal modification. The iO|26 has 8 line outs that you presumably would use for the source of individual tracks or pre-mixed stems.Įither way, unless I have misunderstood, I don't see you needing more than a good-quality stereo ADC for the capture PC. Because a passive summer is attenuating, you would either need an A-D with analog gain or use a quality pre-amp in front of a 4dBu A-D. For the ADAT tapes, I remember you saying you have an Alesis iO|26, and that has a pair of lightpipe inputs that you probably would want to use for this type of transfer, so would you transfer 8 or 16 tracks at a time and then line up the blocks of tracks in your DAW?įor the mix activity, the passive summer should work well, but, as Chris says, the result is very dependent on the quality of the A-D that you use for digitizing the 2-bus mix. All the rest is digital transfer, although that can bring its own difficulties. Kurt, as I understand it, you want to backup all your archive audio material at the track level (from ADAT tapes, old hard drives, DAT tapes, cassettes etc) to more modern storage, but also set up a live tracking system and a mix station involving a passive summer both for re-mixing from old multi-track sources and for new material?įor the backup process, the only source you've mentioned that needs A-D conversion is cassettes, and almost any converter will be adequate there. Lets help people who deserve it I say.įWIW, look after yourself on this but if it grows into something here, I would need anything with 1-8 dsub ins from the Orion32 analog outs and will sum a balanced 3pin into the line ins of a Prism Atlas AD> uncoupled to a capture DAW.Ĭorrect me if I'm wrong, but it sounds as though we are talking about two separate but related things in this thread. I have the best converters, high end cabling, and a variety of choice pre's right here. NOTE: If he gives me one too, which I would hope he would also, because I will use it with an M-2b. That approach is truth and if people have confidence, they will rise to the occasion. I'll give the manufacturer an ad that is worth way more than his best box. We at RO, are interested it supporting the deserving. You aren't writing an article or promising anyone anything. trying to sell something i don't need in order to buy a LittleOne 8. financially "challenged" but i need a summing mixer. i'm really stumped as to what i should hook up and what i should sell. Just got some monitors last week and still hooking up the p/b. this way all my work will be on one machine where i can back it up to several different places. then i want to go through all the hard drives from old machines that died and get all the audio files off them as well as transfer dat and cassette tapes i want to archive. i will be transferring ADAT tapes into the new system too. My plans are to drag my old production computer and transfer all the files via lightpipe off it. i'm sure the learning curve for both the newer computer and MixBus are contributing to my foot dragging. i would have waited to buy it (MixBus) but at $40 (a promo deal that was about to expire), it's hard to get hurt. It will probably be out of support by the time i get it going. As far as MixBus i haven't had the chance to use it yet.
