Hello, My Dad bought me PT8 in March but didnt know you needed a computer and interface, so I bought an iMac 24 2.16Ghz Duo 2 Core off ebay. Well got laid off from my day job as a Telecom Project Manager a month latter and didnt work for 5 months but that gave me allot of time to learn PT8. OK so 6 months latter and about 50 songs in I maxed out the iMac 24 and ordered a new computer (PC) to run my PT8 Still have not received from Dell but once I get it IM going to be recording again. I Play Guitar, Bass, Drums and keyboard, started recording at the age of 14 using two Boom Boxes to do overdubs. Well nice to meet you all.

Hey Gang....
I've been a musician for years but am finally able to put a DIGITAL studio together. I've been using Adobe Premier for the past year with a analog board (Mackie) but I've just purchased PreSonus Firestudio 2626 and am Totally lost...Any one know how to work this?

>What type of studio do you have?
Just a nice basement setup.
AMD 3.2 Quad, 1tb music, 300gb system, 4gb Ram
HME 9652 card
2-PreSonus DigimaxFS
2-PreSonus Eurekas
Presonus Central Station
Pod X3
Yamaha HS80M Monitors
Misc Shure, Audix, AKG mics. Nothing major, just middle of the road stuff.
Other parts and pieces, but the standard 'grab bag' of accessories that everybody has.

>What type of work do you do?
The main use for the studio is just for me and my friends. Will occasionally do an outside project, but I usually find that the less talent a musician has the more ego they have for some reason. THIS is why I play grinch and keep the studio for myself. Its my hobby, I make money at my real job and the studio is my passion.

>How long have you been working in the Industry?
Started playind drums at 11 and always loved when we would record. The mixing board is an instrument in and of itself and with DAWs, its like conducting a 1000piece virtual orchestra. Very inspiring to have that much power! I just turned 30 now and have been recording since I was 21-22 off and on.


>Do you work in the Industry full time?
Oh HELLS No, I would've killed myself by now if it was my job. Thinking back to all the heartbreak/ache I've had in/because of music, I much prefer to have it as my hobby and only have ups instead of downs. Nothing against those who endure the road and all that comes with it, but a band situation is no longer for me. The guys I play with in the studio, I've been in bands with and I find that now they are more serious with having to spend less time being there. I find this the opposite of being in a band, you have to be there ALL the time and get lazy playing the same songs over and over knowing your just playing for a crowd that might not give a dang. No...I'm not bitter.

Hi Everyone,
I am new here and visited the site. I am Jone. I am from Toronto.
There are many interesting things I have seen in the site.I like forum discussion since people can share their views and ideas to others.

[cgbrad]

Hello everyone. Glad to be here. I am a vocalist and sometimes guitarist for a rock band in Kentucky. Full time musician in the 80's but now gigging about one weekend a month and recording.

So Howdy!!

>What type of studio do you have?
We've gutted and converted a late-model motor coach (taking it all and working while traveling), so we work in a 9x12 acoustically insulated and balanced environment.

>What type of work do you do?
All our work is our own music from a multitude of instruments, but mainly several keyboard types and guitars for sound creation without any plug-ins, loops, or sounds from someone else's creation. Our music and sound creations are designed for the film industry and soundtracks... we rarely perform.

>How long have you been working in the Industry?
The industry? About 4 years. Music creation and production? 50 years.

>Do you work in the Industry full time?
Mostly rewarding 12-14 hour days and nights or whenever the head-full-of-tunes strikes us.

We rarely get special requests and resort to our own imaginations for sale/lease product creation and delivery; this way we're rarely under pressure and know who pays on time and what is expected of us.

And, we use regular Intel Macs exclusively.

Hi,

I am new here too.

[Terry Wetzel]

I'm old! I mean really old! I've been a guitarist since the late 50's and I've watched rock and roll evolve. Can't say I'm very fond of what it has become! I have a basement studio which started a while back as analog,(Teac 4 track).
I fooled around for a while with M-audio/Protools but I don't have the computer smarts to be good at it so, I switched to Alesis 24 track, hard disk with a Mackie 24 channel board. It's very simular to analog and what's more important, works for me. I record myself doing all the instruments and vocals and sometimes throw in a string section or horns with my Yamaha keyboard. My favorite artists are all Rock a Billy. Gene Vincent, Buddy Holly, Carl Perkins, Rick Nelson, the King of coarse, You know, The original cats! I played night clubs back in the 60's but got married and had to go to work. It's been a hobby since then. My Brother and I had a band in South Florida in the 60's called 'The Minute Men',(not the california punk band. We were there first. Did several sessions including 5 songs for Norman Petty, Buddy Holly and the Crickets mngr. in 1965 plus several indepenent sessions at Criteria Studios in Miami. Hope I haven't bored you and, It's great to be alive!

[music producer]

I'm Steve, I have a project studio in the corn fields of Indiana; my system is Pro Tools HD 2Accel. I'm a combination producer/keyboardist/songwriter, and use that particular skill set to produce singer-songwriters quite often.

I specialize in midi/virtual orchestrations. My drum programming is rather rudimentary, and I almost always prefer a live drummer unless there is no budget. I use Vienna Instruments Special Edition and EWQLSO Platinum for orchestral sounds. It's a good combo - I can cover most bases with the 2 libraries, though there are some holes, but as you all know, you play to your strengths sound-wise.

I also get hired a lot to play piano and keys on orchestra and rhythm dates, mostly at Aire Born studios on the NW side of Indy.

I work with a few label/corporate clients; by far the most work in this area is with Hal Leonard Publications, a great group of guys to work for.

@rathbone 53 - I don't know if the shortcuts I use are ones that would be helpful to you, and I'm 7.4.2 , not 6.x, but I am fanatical about shortcuts.

We started out with a Tascam Porta Studio 2 from Sweetwater many years ago, progressed through an 8 track cassette Tascam, then a Roland VS1680 and made a hybrid system that used the Roland with a Digi001 to get 16 tracks at a time. Moved on up to a Digi002, then our HD3 system. Sweetwater staff guided us all the way to here.
