>Does anyone know of a driver for the Waveterminal 2496 for Windows NT?
Bob, I believe that the current info at their website is that it will work
with XP. The Win2000 drivers ought to work.
>Is anyone using XP with Soundforge, Cakewalk, or Cubase? Do they run OK?

I use CDwave, MKWAct, Cool Edit without any difficulty.

I believe that it is a more stable OP than previously. Just be sure to
continue to seek out drivers etc. The only problem I had was my RME
soundcard. Resolved that by downloading Win2000/NT drivers. I reindstalled
Samplitude and it works fine.

> just purchased a new MAC G4. purchased an midiman audiophile 2496 card
You need to get the ASIO driver for the card, presumably downloaded from
their web site.
Then (and heads-up all) go to www.prosoniq.com and download sonicWORX
artist free for just a basic editing program and also sonicWORX studio
demo for an absolutely
-spectacular- editing / post-processing / analysis package. I've never
seen anything like it. It's -very- seldom I plunk $413 on the table for
a software package
but I swear when you see this you'll start saving your pennies. It's
German software and I promise your lower jaw will drop in amazement.
Put the ASIO driver in the drivers folder of sinicWORX (or other
software) and set the Mac sound manager to built in and you're in
business.

Folks,
is there any way at all to actually put Audio sampled at
48kHz in PCM format on a CD in such a way that a DVD player will play it?
This is to avoid having to resample stuff.
Mpeg formats and/or other compressed formats are out; resampling is also out;
I want to be able to store 48 kHz sampled PCM audio on a CD
using standard CD burners w/o having to process the audio at all, and in such
a way that some standard, everyday consumer device can correctly play the
audio thru SPDI/F to a standard D/A device w/o involving a computer.

I've noticed this before, but didn't think much of it until now,
but how can a digital feed give an "OVER" unless the M1 is being
conservative on reporting levels? I noticed this while working on a
linux mixer/control panel applet for the Zoltrix/CMI. I was feeding
an M1 from the digital out and playing around with some of the card's
settings. Several times I noticed the "OVER" indicator come on,
but didn't really think much of it (I was just playing around and
not making a serious recording). After reading this thread, I wonder
how, if the digital source is feeding 16 bit S/PDIF, the levels can
go over 16 bits?

The DA-20 does have this feature:

hi,
sorry for the last few messed up posts. it seems my outlook was sending
my mail in html format, i have no idea why.
anyway, i'm trying to set up a soundcard with windows XP. i have a
turtle beach montego II plus, and a zoltrix nightingale( not pro). turtle
beach says they are not supporting the card for XP, that you should by a new
card ( surprise !). i read on a newsgroup you can use the NT drivers for
it, only losing the 3D capability, which i dont care about. i've had no luck
getting it to work and havent even tried the zoltrix yet. i'd like to get
the montego going, as the zoltrix is slated for a different machine, but if
it has to be zoltrix and XP, thats ok. i can give more details if needed.
if anyone can help, let me know offline, as it's off topic.
thanks much,

All,
Has anyone heard from "Boca" Bob Silver? I sent some cds/dats to him on
October 16th and have not heard back from him since. I know people run into
trouble sometimes, so I'm hoping everything is alright with him. Thanks -

Sorry for the cross post, but I am looking to track down a copy of the Black Crowes 10/31/01 show in Boston. I'll take a DAT/CD/SHN copy of the show. If it's a DAT, I'll be more than happy to convert it and offer back to the masses. Below is a link to my list if you can help and are interested in trading for it (will also send B&P if that's what you prefer).
Thanks!

Subject: Hart 11/6/01 - SoundForge 4.5 question
Date: Thu, 08 Nov 2001 14:34:02 -0500
During the Mickey Hart show on 11/6/01, I had a 1 second overload
at the start due to the extreme dynamics of the performance. Looking at
the visual display in SF 4.5, I see the normal up and down, then suddenly a
square (levels are almost maxed out). I was able to highlight that
segment, then normalize to a consistent volume with the surrounding
music. I was wondering if it were possible to 'uncompress' the block of
sound that was overloaded, or in other words, stretch out the highs and
lows to make the dynamics of this brief section resemble those of the
recorded music both before and after the brief overload. Any help appreciated.
Other than that spot, my recording from the 3rd row (fob, dfc, MtG
2000/m210-> SX-M2-> SBM1-> D8) came out surprisingly well.
Take Care,
Delano
