TDM is for Protools HD only. AS is not real-time RTAS. RTAS is Real Time Audio Suite, AS is just Audio Suite. These run in both Protools LE and Protools HD.

HTDM is Host TDM. I think it's some cross between RTAS and TDM.

I didn't get that much love on the boards. Should we pass the win on to someone else, or should I just be happy with an invalid win? Just wondering. I'm not sure why you think it is invalid, unless you know something the rest of us don't. :) I, however, can not give you any advice on what to do whe...

Would getting a good snare drum that doesn't have a flat low sound help bring up the range? I'm planning on picking up a new snare, since I honestly am getting nothing out of the one I have. Oh, yes, that will help. Also, tuning it properly helps a lot, but I can't help you with that. I spent two w...

I'm not sure what lo-mids you are talking about, but if anyone can delve deeper into this muddiness so I can fix it in my next song, please explain. I'm guessing that the snare and kick drums are causing a bit of mud-sound, no? The low-mids are in the range of about 300-800 Hz or so. When you have ...

It's been happening pretty regularly to me all day today. I think I've only seen the front page 10% of the time.

<u><b>Magnetbox :</b></u> uhhh, not sure what to think about this one. a bit too 80s and not executed too well. Would you care to elaborate? In what way is the execution not too well? Just curious--not much in the comments there that I can actually go on to make a change to it.

So I started thinking of how everything took forever when I was a kid, but now the years are flying by. But it's my time to do as I want, whether I waste it or use it wisely, so it's no ones fault but mine if I don't take back control of what is mine, because.......it belongs to me. How's that? :mr...

I'm getting better. I promise my future songs will be getting better on the recording and mixing, but I can't make any promises with the songs themselves. :wink: Personally, I think that is one of the great things of doing Songfight.

Some reviews for this week's songs. Balance Lost/Balance Regained: It starts off pretty good. I like the "first" vocalist. He fits in well with the music. There is another "vocalist" who comes in on the right. (I'm not sure if these are really two vocalists or some type of effect...

Boltoph : I like the groove to this. I also like the chorus. Seems like grunge music a bit, but I like the clean part, too. If you change anything, there might be a few parts in the chorus that seem not to fit too well, but nothing I can put my finger on. I'm not entirely sure what the song is abou...

You should post a URL for your updated version of your song. I've always thought it would be cool to do a "one week later" update of the songs from a fight to see how/if people changed them in response to the reviews. Well, ok, since you asked. As a side note, I re-recorded new vocals, bu...

Congrats to Loyalty Day on their win. I just want to thank everyone who did reviews. And, so you know they didn't go completely to waste, I've actually gone back and made some changes to my song based on some of the comments. On the positive side, I see that I must be improving.

Just a quick idea--may not be what you want, but: What about converting the cassettes directly to CD without going to MP3? I know, I know, but hear me out. Most of the newer car CD players can handle playing CD-RW discs. So if yours can do that, both sides of a 30-minute tape will fit on one disc. R...

Re: Cassette to MP3

anyway - I figure I can record the cassettes as WAV files on my computer - convert them to MP3 - then burn the whole 4 books onto 1 CD. Problem is - each MP3 file will be 30 min long - so the story will restart at the begining of each track everytime you restart the car. Well, the first solution I ...
