Re: [gina-users] Hello! + question
Yeah. you are write...Events has answered me all the time...And I agree with your ideas about Gina...But, for the price, it has a lot of "bang for the buck" and it close the gap for the home project recordist...for under 500, you have a lot of power under your fingers...That´s how I see it...A very very useful toyI am finishing a album on a pro studio, but believe me...most of my pre-production stuff has been done with Gina, and I would say that 40% of my home tracks will be transfered to the studio and this will save me a lot of money...:-))) Alfredo Gareth wrote: > Hi Alfredo > > Yeah, I've done all that with the consumer/pro thing.

Re: [gina-users] Hello! + question
Gareth...just guessing...: have you tried swithing back and forth the Consumer or Pro option for Gina s/pdf under Gina´s drivers? Some people also have comented that they had to re-start Windows for that to be effect...Not in case, but maybe in yours...who knows...What does Event says about it?

Re: [gina-users] Hello! + question
Hi Gareth...I am using Gina for mixing to a DA-30, MKII dat recorder, then transfer digitally back to my audio editing sequencer (Cakewalk Pro Audio 7.01), adding some mastering...SoundForge, Wavelab...and then back to the DA-30 digital, no problem at all...I have heard than some older stuff have some differences into how they implement the S/Pdif configurations...i.e., older DA-30s had such limitations and one was unable to make digital transfers among the dat recorder and a digital card but only if removing some internal jumper, very trickiy stuff only to be handled with a manual at your side... In my own case, the dat recorder automatically recognizes 44.1 or 48hz from the Gina...Perhaps you should check your sampler ??

Neil...It was just that Gustavo and I haven´t seen each other for years and incredibly we have been reunited again in this list both using Gina...The world is getting smaller...Anyway, I join your hopes about Gigasampler to be used with Gina...It´s going to be very very useful...About the drivers, I have contacted Event too, and as far as I could read "between the lines", they were expecting Win98 to be released for developing new drivers according to Gina´s own DSPI asked this question on last February, and they confirmed that point...So, now Win98 is on the shelves...perhaps we´ll have news soon...But let´s us keep on sending emails to Events asking for the new Gina´s driver just in case Regards, Alfredo > I wrote to Event Tech support a while back and they mentioned their plans > are to get Direct Sound drivers for the GINA ready, and then work on real > time effects.
