Sound engineer tech based in London. Started a career very young doing Live sound on the road, touring with bands as FoH or stage tech, later progressed with studies in Cinema and later on Sound Engineering and Recording Arts.

Currently, managing studios in an educational institute pays the bills, but all the spare time is spent watching movies, recording bands, editing in ProTools or with the head stuck in a videogame.

comment Why is Pro Tools the industry standard in high end audio production?
@LeeDumond if it wasn't fooling, you would see an apoggee on your I/O, not an 192, same with Lynx, SSL, and other manufacturers. The SSL MADI box is seen in ProTools as 4 192 units - and if you loose sync, you have to actually put the first unit back in loopmaster. it looks to me a bit like "fooling" ProTools - as opposed to the "you can now run ProTools on any slapdash hardware setup you want" that Ian mentioned!

True Lennart. tbh, it's not that stable anymore - tbh it's not stable at all when something as simple as saving is bugged on version 9.

+1 for the multitrack editing though I don't know what my life would be without it! now, support engineer? sorry, my experience is really bad. I got better help and support from random maintenance techs and from my Digi certification examiner than the phone calls/emails. Except if you own an ICON and they can take £300 for any little piece needing replacing

comment Why is Pro Tools the industry standard in high end audio production?
they didn't. In recent years they had a partnership with M-Audio when the whole buyout process begun. I do have to say that the hardware from the HD series (192, 96 and 96i) was getting really really outdated! other brands where doing better stuff for the buck. Some other companies where even fooling protools into seeing their devices as 192 etc. and they work great!!! (Lynx, SSL, Prism, Apogge)

just a note - normalize in ProTools can normalize within a selection of regions. Although probably not what you want to do.

it is scientific. Nice way to brush up on the maths through the initial "concepts" bit. I had the "pleasure" (i guess, not sure pleasure it's still the right word) of meeting the guy last year.

comment choosing gear and set up for recording live 16ch same time
Which sound card/ AD/DA converter do you plan on use? the 32 channel allen heat you showed is a 32 channel mixer which would probably allow you a easy setup based on split mixer design, but the USB facility will only convert signals from Matrix, etc, not from Direct Out. What exactly are you trying to ask, if the desk would be a good choice for the value?

You put the guitar through a DI before going through line in, right?
