Thank you Bob :)

I'm using SawStudio 5.1 with the latest Melodyne Editor (1.3.0) and it seems to transfer, process and render (Build Mix to New Soundfile etc) just fine without using Live mode at all.

Which is...

Hi Daniel

I think your problem is that you've got the USB MIDI ports routed to the DAW control bits of the 01V96. On the left-hand side of the DIO/SETUP:MIDI/HOST page you need to set GENERAL RX...

Hi Daniel

Did you set up and use the MIDI Loopback driver (e.g. MIDI Yoke) correctly? If you are getting the same effect with and without my translator, then it suggests to me that nothing is...

Hi Larry

Try my SAC-SAW to 01V96 translator... download and instructions at http://www.takelog.com/sac_yamaha_converter.htm

good luck :)

That was me! You can find the app, and all the details on how to use it, at http://www.takelog.com/sac_yamaha_converter.htm

Good luck

I've been in touch with a friend and former colleague who was a young tape-op at Abbey Road in the late 60s. He has read this thread with interest, and passed on the following information:

"Cary...

Yes, I believe the first time the multitracks were transferred to create a new 'meta-multitrack' was for the Yellow Submarine film/DVD/CD re-release in the late 1990s. I was around then and witnessed...

If I've given the impression that Allan Rouse would spend the duration of a 3-minute transfer wildly swinging his speed control lever back and forth to compensate for the fact the verse 1 was...

Ah yes... those weren't the days. Surely a major reason why AK's subsequent synchronisers (the excellent AK 1.11s and 1.12s) never really had the commercial success they deserved was the sheer terror...

Ah... apologies for my misunderstanding



You could do the same with the AK1.11s and AK1.12s that we used at Abbey Road - a menu choice could select between (i) get position lock and then...

Indeed - each machine has a machine control port that can be connected to a synchroniser. But what does NOT go down that cable is a clock signal, such as Black+burst or wordclock or whatever. Trust...

A key thing to remember in this discussion is that no analogue tape machine, or whatever complexity and vintage, can absolutely guarantee that a certain playback will happen at a certain speed. Why?...

Dave's right. ALL the engineering of ALL official Beatles related projects over the past few decades has been done by the same small group of people at Abbey Road; Peter Cobbin, Peter Mew, Paul...

Hi Dave

I don't know if the transfers that were done in the late 90s (originally for the 5.1 remix of Yellow Submarine, and possibly the Anthology - I can't remember the exact details) were used...

I was a techie at Abbey Road from 1991 to 2000 and was around when the Beatles 4-tracks were sync'd up and transferred to digital. As far as we were aware, nothing like this had been done before, so...

It works - I've used a MIDI fader controller (BCF2000 or Yamaha 01V96) with SAC, whilst simultaneously using a Frontier Tranzport with SAW Studio (to drive playbacks, make SAC-linked recordings etc)...

Fabulous work Bob - many congratulations.

Very much looking forward to seeing those videos, but please don't rush. Take some time off to relax with friends and family - boy, do you deserve it......

There's also the possibility that defragging an audio drive could make performance worse, not better.

If you are doing multitrack recording - i.e. recording lots of tracks simultaneously - then...

That's great Bob - thank you :)

If/when you decide to venture down this path, do feel free to get in touch. I'd be very happy to throw some ideas around on how these things could be included in...

You're absolutely right - it's SAW's mixing that really made the difference here, and Bob deserves the praise. It was a live performance, with a few (very few) patches from the rehearsals, so there...

Many thanks to everyone for your very kind comments - as Mark Stebbeds says, it's a great feeling knowing that your peers respect your work :)

Mark

Hi all

Very pleased to bring some good news - a CD that I edited and mixed entirely within SAW Studio has won a Grammy :D

Best Classical Contemporary Composition
Jennifer Higdon - Percussion...

Thanks once again Bob :)

cheers
Mark

Brilliant, Bob! Thoroughly deserved success.
