8 outs again

When using the 8 outs, what sounds do you put on the same side ( l/r).
Is there a standard when it comes to this. Maybe somebody has a method.. i will use my 1402 vlz alt3/4 to go out into my DAW.
Any other tips will be appreciated

its all based upon personal preference if u wanna put a sound in stereo or mono, or pan it to the left or right side.... a lot of peeps put most of their drums in stereo, keys if needed, etc....

thanks and sorry for the double post , but i meant like putting the kick sound on the right channel along with snare, thus going into your DAW on the same track.

I put almost all my samples in mono, so they only come out on one channel...... I only use the Stereo if I have a sample that loses a lot of quality if one of the channels is cut......

That's just my way of doing it, I'm sure other have different ways that work for them also.

Like 4 said, it's all based on pers. pref., you figure out what works best for you. Try everywhich way you can think of and see what's really going on and do the damn thang.

i output all of my sounds on on its own side so when it goes into my DAW everything will have it's own track. more freedom to tweek afterwards like adding effects.

Hey sparq, tell me about Nuendo...IS this your DAW... what interface are you using for your cpu.. And how poewrful does my MAC need to be to run it. I heard some good things about it. Im currently using the VS 1880

my audio interface is the Lexicon Omega which is just fine for me. about nuendo, i love it better than pro tools, with one exception, when using rewire, nuendo does not record rewired tracks to audio where as pro tools can record rewired channels to aux tracks to be routed to audio tracks. other than that, nuendo is great. if you heard anything about cubase, nuendo is the same thing. everything you can do with cubase, you can do with nuendo plus hella more. also with nuendo, OMF support is standard whereas pro tools in order for you to import/export OMF files, you need to purchase (in some cases upwards to $450US) a program called digitranslator. the reason for OMF (if you don't know) is i can work on a track in nuendo then export the file as an OMF file, bring it to a big studio where pro tools is running and import my OMF file. everything track for track (including track names) is now in pro tools. you can also do post production with audio as well as video. you can score movies, music videos, commercials, etc... right out the box in opposed to pro tools, you need digi DV and other plug ins.


this is from the manual for MACs:

Computer requirements
Hardware – Mac
The absolute minimum requirements for running Nuendo on a Macintosh
are as follows:
• Macintosh with a G4 processor, 256 MB RAM and OS X.
We recommend a G4 733 MHz or faster, 512 MB RAM or more and OS X 10.2.
RAM
Audio work requires a lot of RAM! In fact, there is a direct relation between
the amount of available RAM and the number of audio channels
that you can have running. As specified earlier, 256 MB is the minimum
requirement, but as a general rule “the more the better” applies.
Hard disk size
• The size of the hard disk determines how many minutes of audio you
will be able to record.
Recording one minute of stereo CD quality audio, requires 10 MB of hard disk space.
That is, eight stereo tracks in Nuendo use up at least 80 MB of disk space per recording
minute.
Hard disk speed
The speed of the hard drive also determines the number of audio
tracks you can run. That is the quantity of information that the disk can
read, usually expressed as “sustained transfer rate”. Again, “the more
the better” applies.
Mouse
Although a regular mouse will work fine with Nuendo, we recommend
that you use a wheel mouse with two mouse buttons.
• Having a wheel mouse will speed up value editing and scrolling considerably.
• If your mouse has two mouse buttons you should program the right mouse
button to generate a [Ctrl]-click (this is typically the default behaviour of the
right mouse button).
This will allow you to bring up context menus by right clicking (see page 201).
NUENDO
3 – 32 Installation and Requirements for Mac OS X
Audio hardware
Nuendo will run with audio hardware that meets the following basic
specifications:
• Stereo.
• 16 bit.
• Support of at least the 44.1kHz sampling rate.
• Is supplied with proper Mac OS X (Core Audio) drivers.
A basic rule of thumb is: if the hardware works under Mac OS X, you
can use it in Nuendo.
• Nuendo also supports audio hardware with Mac OS X compliant ASIO
drivers.
ASIO drivers may provide special support for routing, monitoring, synchronization, etc.
Note that the ASIO drivers must be written specifically for Mac OS X – Mac 9.X ASIO
drivers cannot be used.
