The Perfect Audio Interface Under $300: Creative E-MU 1616m - Windows 10 Setup

 As indie artists further dig in to their respective trenches across the new home recording landscape, this work horse has proven to stand the test of time: The E-MU 1616m from Creative has lasted 10 years, and three Windows Operating Systems. As long as you've got a PCI-e x1 slot open on your motherboard, you're going to benefit from the 192 khz speed with the same conversion technology as the Pro Tools HD Core A/D. Are you an independent artist that doesn't want to shell out the big bucks for studio time? You think you could manage putting together your own tracks in a DAW of your choosing? Maybe the 1616m is the right option for you. This device features 6 full analog inputs, including to XLR/Line input channels on the front, with four other rear 1/4" TRS balanced inputs. 6 TRS balanced outputs, as well as expandable ADAT lightpipe input and outputs that clock at 192 khz as well. Now, this is listed as an "End of Service Life" device, so you won't be l

Why Fujifilm X-T3, ART DMPA II, and Other Projections

  Seasons greetings,   I've come on to an opportunity where I'm able to invest in some new equipment for the studio, and that has me shopping for cameras. That has led me to choosing between three options, namely:  The Canon EOS -R, the Sony A 7III and the Fujifilm X-T3  Each of these are 60fps, and 4k. Although, Canon and Sony have the only 4k that is NOT cropped, I'm choosing the Fujifilm for more nuanced reasons that rely more on the color science.  In addition, I'm polishing of the final touches on my E-MU Creative 1616m recording interface with the ART DMPA II to bring in the last two channels to capitalize on the maximum 19khz speed capacity in my Pro Tools 2018 DAW rig.  So we're talking tech, we're talking ideas, quality, and future plans from the Hearando Studios with Good God Father.  Watch it all here:  https://rumble.com/vbnv87-why-fujifilm-x-t3-art-dmpa-ii-and-other-projections.html    [[REFERAL LINKS]]  Minds Rumble   [[SUPPORT DIRECT]]  Bandcamp  

Our Cosmic Estuaries, Fresh New Video, PLUS RonUSMC RAIDED ME!

Holiday greetings to you, As we've already buried ourselves in several hundreds of bags of popcorn, watching the events unfolding around us, and spanning the globe, I, Xwan, have taken a moment to outline some ideas, as we process next moves. Being driven further in doors, and in assessing the nature of things, there's become greater opportunity to generate video content from here at my home studio. So far, I've managed to conquer half the globe in the game Civilization VI , as well as beginning to attempt some ASMR, in saying some prayers and reading some scripture . Aside from that, there was a great session playing EVE Online, where Twitch viewers donated $70 million ISK in one night! I STILL have that ISK in my wallet. So I've been working through learning the game, and incorporating it in to my content generation. Have to give mad props, and thanks to RonUSMC for raiding my All this has been happening along side of coming music that I'm currently engineerin
