Hurry! Sale ends May 1st !!!
Yes it is a "reduction of bits" and yes this would be oversimiplfying. But out of curiosity I checked out the Crane Song website: http://www.cranesong.com/analogdither.html and this analog dither product sure looks interesting. For only $30 It definitely seems worth checking out. Occasionally there really is a product that seems almost too good to be true and indeed turns out to be a winner! I took a look at the www.recording.org forums for more info on this and many folks there are raving about this product using terms like "miracle," etc. If anyone else here gets some experience with it, please post your comments/reviews. Thanks! drbam

Vegas Audio is dead...
I agree. Regardless of SoFo's explaination as to how they aren't leaving audio behind, the real "test" of this, in my opinion, is the fact that Acid has not been integrated into Vegas which is just incomprehensible! The marketing issue is clearly a "no brainer." If I hadn't been using VA from its beginnings, there would be no way to know that I would currently know about the audio application, or that it in fact still exists, unless of course one were to read the fine print or what I refer to as "oh by the way . . . we have a nice multitrack audio program too which we are fully committed to." They should fire whoever did the "marketing analysis" on that one! Anyway, it reminds me of a line in a movie which went "are you going to believe what you see or what I (we) tell you?" Since I'm familiar with Vegas and in most ways, I really like it, in a few months (after completing some existing projects) I'll probably be looking at Sonar, primarily because of its slick integration and other features Vegas should have included by now. Oh well . . . ;-( drbam

Instructional Manuel/Book/Guide for VV3.0
I too would pay extra for a professional manual. And for VV3, it should be clearly divided into separate audio and video sections. . . just like this forum should be.

How dead do you like your studio?
I agree with everything that SHTUNOTÊsaid, and I would add that mic and mic pre choices (and converters) are a major factor. Some mics and mic pres sound much more "open" than others and this is apparent even in a very dead space. Most voice over/spoken word studios I've seen tend to be very dead. Some V/O engineers have told me that they prefer to avoid potential ambient artifacts that might make processing and editing more challenging later on, in other words, they wanted to have as much "control" over the vocal as possible.

Divide VV3 and VA2 forums???
Well now that there is only one product (V V 3) for both video and audio . . but yes, ABSOULTELY there should be separate forums in my opinion. If one is doing both audio and video then you can view both forums depending on your need or inquiry, much the way I (and many other SoFo audio only folks) need to work the Acid, Sound Forge, forums, etc. This seems a "no brainer" to me.

24 96 without a 24 96 sound card...
This is a helpful discussion. I've been using two 20 bit Layla sound cards with 98se, and recently began recording at 24/44.1 in Vegas Audio 2. To my ears, everything sounds better than recording 16/44.1. My understanding is that I'm only missing out on the added 4 bits (20-24) that the Layla converters don't handle. Is this correct?? I would appreciate any and all comments/responses to this. Thanks!

VV3a - Not happy...
>I personally took the ASPI DLL from my Nero directory and put it in my >system32 directory an all my CD-R problems went away like magic. Was this with 98SE?

VV3a - Not happy...
RevF: I can relate to your stuggles with the burner issue as I'm going through similar problems and frustrations. I would very much appreciate your letting me know how your TDK decision pans out. There's a bunch of new ones on ebay and I was thinking of going that route if it turns out good with your setup. I'm sticking with 98se for the unforseeable future as its been nice and stable and I don't want to mess with it. You can contact me directly at drbam@cableone.net Thanks!

BUSlink Firewire Hard Drives
I've used them (5400 speed) for backup and archiving of audio files. Obviously these are too slow for recording/playback of multitrack audio. But for me this is a relatively inexpensive way to avoid the labor intensive CDR backup. I usually work with long ambient/world tracks (often 10 min or more per track with albums always hitting the 74 min wall) so backing up to CDR is a real chore.

CD Burner Suggestions
Thanks for the responses. I'm really only interested in a COMPATIBLE CDR burner for audio only (and data of course). I'm not doing video and I'm not interested in the DVD format yet. CDR burner compatibility hasn't even been resolved so I'm not about to invest in DVD. As a result, I've recently returned to burning my audio tracks and mixes real-time to a stand alone CD recorder. It takes forever but at least I can count on it. So any and all suggestions are welcomed! Thanks!
