A very good alternative IMO are the sonalksis plugins, with the additional, considerable benefits of latency free working, and not being restricted to the number that can run on one card - a UAD card will run out of steam with between 7 - 9 of the "better" plug ins like 1176, or even less with others such as Nigel.

HI. My name is David Tobin, and many of you will know me as a regular contributor to this group in the past. I have worked for a number of Karoake and Soundalike companies for a number of years, and once again the opportunity has risen to offer work to high quality motivated programmers. I am looking to enlarge and strengthen a team of programmers working with logic on a mac (if poss - but not essential), who have great ears, good samples, or virtual instruments, and an understanding of hitting deadlines. We remake tracks for some of the biggest companies - and we could be talking anything from Paul Young, to the Crazy Frog, Charlotte Church to Rachel Stevens - whatever is asked of us. In the first instance, please email me urgently if you are interested in being considered for regular paid work. Please use the following email address: david@... Please include a method for me to contact you - email or phone. I will then ask for demo's to be made, from which we can judge who will be most suitable. I look forward to hearing from you all. David Tobin

Hi all - Regarding the earlier post "Programmers required" Just to clarify what is meant by "Programmers". I am not looking for anyone to pass me MIDI parts, or make MIDI files or anything like that. Effectively, you are making backing tracks at a high quality - by listening to all the parts and recreating them. You would be recording mixes without vocals down to AIFF/WAV/MP3 and sending those - not individual parts. So - if you have got good ears and are skilled as a musician and want some extra work, give me a shout at david@... Talk to you all soon! david Tobin david@... www.davidtobin.co.uk www.perfectharmonyuk.com > HI.

Thanks everyone who has replied to me regarding this - Phew .... unbelievable amount of people who are interested. For the moment, I am going to give the opportunity to UK programmers first to do some demo work. This is purely and simply because, being based in the UK myself, I wont pay bank charges to pay wages to UK accounts! So - 1. If you are one of the guys from another country that sent me your details - We haven't forgotten you - I will hear demos from the English guys first. If they are not good enough, I will be STRAIGHT back onto all of you to give you a crack at it immediately. We will know all within the next week. 2. If you are UK based and have not responded yet - last chance..... If you would like to be considererd for a regular source of HIGH QUALITY backing track manufacture - we are looking for you.... More details when you contact me. Contact me by phone or email in the next 24 hours - then we will stop our search. Many thanks to all that have been in touch.

Which just furthers my point that folks should start a new message instead of replying to an existing one to start a new topic, as it throws off everyone's threading (or at the very least those who are using Apple Mail, the only app I can confirm at the moment).

Yeah, happens here too (Mozilla/WinXP). If 'Display Message Threads' is turned on, unrelated posts can be hidden, nested away under whatever post the sender hit 'reply' to just to save time on composing anew - guilty of this myself before I discovered the view threads facility in Mozilla. ___ Ade

Hi gang.... Following a previous posting for programmers requiredt make tracks for the karaoke market - I am again looking to strengthen our team. I need people that have great ears and a willingness to work to tight deadlines making backing tracks. The work we have is very regular and we don't need anyone to deliver midi files - just accurate copies of original tracks - using programmed midi and live audio where necessary. Budgets are not huge, but work is (as stated) very regular. We are looking for people to test on a verse and chorus of a track, and then if the test is of sufficient standard, we will ask you to complete the track and pay you for your work. For more details please email david@... or call 01933 314040/ 0779 393 8525. At the moment, we are still only looking for UK based musicians as experience tells us that it is a little harder to make this job work with those based in other financial/time zones. Please email/phone for more details - only serious people apply, and those with broadband will get priority. Thanks gang! David Tobin

Another job offer gang.... From the guys that place the "karaoke programming" post - we are looking for studios to take care of all of the vocal work for the backing tracks that we make. We need to be able to make the backing vocals and the front vocals for all the tracks that we have to make replicas of - both male and female. Varied styles required - excellent ears needed as backing vox harmonies need to be exact - both chords, voice styles and recording techniques. Budgets are modest, but work is really regular, and work will be passed in reasonably large chunks so singers can be booked in 1/2 day or full day sessions. It is an advantage if the engineer is also able to sing, as your profit margin will increase! Please only apply if serious about ability to hit regular deadlines. Apply for more details by email to david@... or phone 01933 314040 or 0779 393 8525. Be prepared to do a test vocal on a small amount of music - and if the test is acceptable, we will ask you to finish the test piece and get paid. Look forward to hearing from you all... David Tobin

Hi friends Is there any user in Honolulu ? I need some advice in Logic Audio I would appreciate your help. Bishop Salamat Khokhar

Does anyone use a Samson C-Control for recording and playback with an external mixer and Logic? I just got one and try to figure out how to integrate it. If I feed the sum of my external mixer to "Mix in" of the C-Control (as the manual suggests) and go from the C-Control to the audio interface, I cannot monitor Logic while recording, right? I guess that is to avoid feedback. Workaround is to connect the mixer's sum to the audio interface and the mixer's C-R outputs to the C-Control. That works good but since the C-Control is not in the recording chain I cannot use the "Talk to 2TK" function, which is a nice feature (you can add spoken notes to a track). Is there a way to record via the C-Control and hearing Logic's playback through the same device? ___ Peter Ostry

Is anyone using the Dell w/Logic? Specifically, there are some known issues with backlight bleed, and I'm curious if they are visible when using Logic and/or similar applications. Obviously the bleed would be blatantly apparent on a plain black screen for testing purposes, as shown in many of the photos I've seen posted, but I'm more interested in real-world uses. And since this monitor is not available at any retail locations, at least none near me, I cannot look for myself. In the end I'm certainly interested in saving money, but not at the expense of quality. Thanks!

I recorded a long practice session last night with my bands. 12 tracks at 24 bit/44.1 Khz. Got home and opened the song off of the portable FW HD on my desktop and it gave me errors like "what kind of file is this", "8 bit files cannot be used", etc... The file is the exact same size as all the other files that were recorded. I researched and found out about using audacity to import the raw audio data to be later exported to whatever format, but no matter what input paramaters I chose (16/24/32 bit PCM/float/dwvw big/little/no-endian) the imported audio was unusable. Extreme static and distortion, and the little audio you can hear in the background is sped up it seems. Why is this happening? How can I recover my track? Is there some other software/platform besides logic/osx that would be more reliable? I'm sick of random crashes and corruption which IMO is a hallmark of working with Apple software. My PC rarely ever crashes. Setup: I use Logic 6.4.3 and OS 10.3.9 on 2 different machines. One is a PB400 the other is a G4 DP1.25. Both have a gig of ram. I also use the Waves V4 diamond plugins extensively. I have a MOTU 828 and run a digimax LT into it's optical in. Mostly I just record bands... around 12 tracks simultaneously at 24 bit. I use a LaCie firewire HD with my PB to do this on location (the built in HD is too sensitive to vibration). I then load the song up at home on my DP1.25Ghz G4 for mixing and overdubs.

I can't wait to get my hands on the new Miroslav Philharmonic plug-in from IK Multimedia (the company that makes AmpliTube and SampleTank)! It's full of orchestra and choir samples that are supposed to be the best sounding out there.
