Hello Chaps,

Hope all is going well for everyone in Fairlight Wonderland!

So have finally managed to get hold of the RS manuel for the CMI III 
from Peter in Sydney (Bless his heart!). Still need some help - 
Peter has been great in teaching me how to use the system but there 
is a little problem - the time difference!

Is there anyone in Europe who would be willing to help me over the 
phone

Am not going even to bother to start with the MFX2 as my studio will 
be controlled by my i-mac with logic. Mixed down through my 
Soundcraft Ghost and recorded on a high Definition Hard Disk 
recorder.

You help would be most appriciated

Thanks

Michael :)

Hello Michael


I have used an MFX2 tower exactly as yours for many years.

I would definitly advise you to bounce tracks from the page R in the
dtd . Edit the sounds later as possible in your "hd" mac. 
You can synchronise the Mfx2 dtd with the page R , just press the play
button and the 2 will work together in concert. 

If you use a lot of polyphony voices in a setup , bounce them in the
dtd. So you can free your cmi voices to go further in your project
without leaving the fairlight . Virtualy you get 14*16 = 224 channels
of cmi voices ( DTD recording borrow you 2 channels for recording )
Record any live musician or vocals in the fairlight too, at the end
you ll get an other sound . Nothing to compare to a mac or based dtd song.

Building a song in the DTD is light fast, the remote and screen are
very helpfull and efficient. No need of a mouse or tons of windows.
