A few of the recent hardware purchases include the Sytek MPX - 4A (with Burr Brown op amps) and Neve 5024 mic preamps. Many thanks to all of you for your comments.In the past couple of years CHS has spent some time updating our studio. I believe I have the Cubase LE that came with my Yamaha Motif – will this suffice? Or is there a particular host that you would recommend? One last question: I have a lot to learn about the computer end of music-making, and it’s my understanding that Ozone and Wavelab require a host program to run through.

Of course, that’s assuming that the first release of Wavelab for Mac isn’t buggy. I think I read that the Wavelab folks will be debuting a Mac-compatible version, so going with Ozone 4 for the time being will leave a space for Wavelab when they release. I will have to factor in the cost of a capable laptop into this last (yeah, right!) bit of gear acquisition. Is one easier that the other to use? I doubt that I'll be putting every last feature of either through the wringer.Īnother consideration will be that one is PC and the other is Mac. They both seem to get very good blowback here on GS. So, for re-mix polishing and (possible) mastering: Wavelab 6 or Ozone 4? I may very well send final mixes to a mastering house, but I’d like to try my hand as well. Mics are pretty solid – Pearlman TM1/AEA R84/Oktavamod MK-319. Outboard pres are Great River (actually GR MEQ1-NV) and John Hardy, compressor is Purple MC77 - but I may put it up for sale soon in favor of a Drawmer 1968. I originally intended to go into the Alesis Masterlink from here to keep everything OTB… maybe a good convertor in between… but I’ve come to feel that is just too limiting. I’ll be going from a Yamaha 01v96 à Alesis HD24XR (both newly acquired). I am a home-recordist and starting to do my own music styles are generally rock with some ballads. ' Any input from users of either/both is very welcome. Hi everyone, this is a thread I've moved over from 'Music Computers' due to lack of response - hoping to have better luck here!
