Recording set ups...

[keyplayer]

Ok....I'm still behind the time in the fact that I do not own a sequencer....(hardware or software)....do everythinhg in real time

Recording gear:

Mackie 1642vlz 16 channel analog mixer...(use it for the mic pre's)

Yamaha aw4416 16 track digital recorder

Audio Technica at3035 mic... used mainly for vocals

Keyboards:

Roland Rs-9 used mainly as a midi controller...sometimes use the drum sounds tho

Yamaha motif es rack my first choice when looking for sounds

Kurzweil pc2r rack good for orch and brass and B-3 sounds

E-mu virtuoso 2000 rack hardly ever use it

Kurzweil sp88 keyboard usually only use it to play live

Misc stuff:

Lexicon mpx 100 effects processer

Alesis SR 16 drum machine

Pevey graphic eq Don't really use any of this misc stuff anymore

Well, thats about it.....been thinking about investing in a software sequencer but don't know much about them.....downloaded some demo's but I just

get more confused.....Hard to teach an old dog new tricks!!!!!!!!

I used all of them and then some.

 

I have changed my recording set up considerably since then. I loved the Creamware soundcards. There was nothing else like them on the market. I always thought it was a great shame that the company went under. Their gear was expensive, but not for what you were getting. They were based around Sharc FPGA processors. For most that might not mean much, but they were a game changer.

 

FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) processors are underrated in music applications. They give you the advantage of hardware processing, effects etc, so ultra low latency.

Thanks for sharing your experience with Creamware soundcards and the Sharc FPGA processors. It's unfortunate the company went under, but it's great to hear about the unique qualities and advantages they brought to your setup. I'm curious, what alternatives have you found or adopted since then? Always interested in discovering new gear and setups!
