How many tracks of Stereo Pairs of Audio can you get with yo

Nestor · Post by **Nestor** » Sun May 11, 2003 11:20 pm

I would like for us to tell each other how many stereo tracks everyone is able to reach.

I personaly can reach (without using plug-ins at all in Cubase) 28 tracks.

About 20-22 tracks in Logic, 24bits stereo wavs.

I say about 20-22, cuz the way they are routed in Logic seem to affect the count.

I get 32 tracks in 24bits with vdat without a glitch.

Hello!

The maximum I have tried was 15 @ 96/32 in SX with the minimum ULLI setting. No pops, no clicks, no glitches. But I think my PC could do even more.

Hi There!

I remember a few years ago, I pushed tripleDAT on a PIII 700MHz + 512MB PC100 + Adaptec+Seagate U160 SCSI + Pulsar II Plus and gone as far as 48 stereo tracks with 4 simultaneous effects (triple effects).

Compared to my old Pentium 200MHz + 64MB + SCSI-2 = 18 stereo tracks, zero effects and slow graphics rendering...

Oh well... I forgot to say my tracks are 16 bits...

to reach all this... Of course, I use too 24 bits, but I can reach a maximum of 10 or 11 stereo tracks.

Please, remember we are counting STEREO tracks, NOT mono ones, thanks...

...the one who can record the most tracks, what does he win?

Wow, I am impressed!

However, I would not be able to understand a lot of ancient Greek, especially when it is pronounced with the Erasmian and not with the modern Greek way.
I feel sorry that I dont know anything to say in Dutch!

something like: sing for me, o Muse, the man who helped to destroy Trojan city.
First verse of the Odyssee epos.
As you knew already I think.
I had to learn those stuff once, but now I hardly understand a few words of it.
Wasted time (learning old language I mean), I could have written many songs in that time

BTW, today I got a postcard from Rhodos Iland today, I guess you're born there?

Well, generally it is not one of the most useful things to learn a dead language like ancient greek or latin...however, if you speak it then you can learn more easily many other modern languages (as most of them are latin-based and contain an awful lot of ancient greek words too!: for example, Muse=Mousa, Music (which is what the muses do)=Mousiki

)
Yes, I am from the sunny Rhodes Island. I hope you liked the postcard!

Ok, we are far off-topic now, but I will continiue (sorry Nestor). Is "muse" related to "amused"?

sorry for another ot, but couldn't resist:
those languages are quite useful when you're in hospital and the doctors don't want you to understand their talk...

@Immanuel: I dont think so

@Astroman: true!

...I think we have fucked-up Nestor's topic... Sorry Nestor

BTW, why are you asking about how many audio tracks one can record simultaneously? Do you need more than your PC can handle?

Immanuel · Post by **Immanuel** » Thu May 15, 2003 11:27 am

Yes he does

Immanuel: 28 stereo tracks seem A LOT to me! But maybe for others they might not be enough... I never need more than 16 stereo channels maximum...but thats me...

Nestor has a big thread going on about buying a new PC - he wants more, and does get it too

Nestor · Post by **Nestor** » Thu May 15, 2003 11:34 pm

Wow! Reading all this was like travelling around the world and coming back to my chair…

Don’t worry guys, be free… it’s better.

I need more tracks cos I work with only one Pulsar with 4 sharks. If I had… let say 15 or 19 DSP, or even 10, things would be completely different. I am forced to bounce by now, to be able to build complex atmospheres. This is the why I need more tracks...
