Oooh, I'm really looking forward to adding this to my little studio here. Anybody have any advice on best practices for integrating this bad boy into a protools setup?
I'll be bringing the Radar digital signals (AES-2 and ADAT) into my iMac via an RME Raydat sitting in a thunderport PCI-e expansion bay. Right now, I'm planning on tracking to my iMac/Protools and just using the converters on the Radar. However, I'm seriously thinking about tracking to Radar instead, and using protools as a virtual digital console. What I'd really like to do is incorporate the Radar remote/transport.
I have some outboard I'll be incorporating via a patchbay, as well - Dangerous DBox and assorted 500/51x units.
Right now, I'm not planning on a console, but that may well enter the picture at some point down the road. I'd love to have a nice console, but space is a concern, as is budget. If I ever go the console route, I won't be doing anything sub-par.
Any tips or advice from anybody with experience using Radar in a protools environment would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Calvin

I used to use Radar V ADAT w/ going into two FF 800's clocked by a 2192 going into Logic. I"m glad to hear that you're going this route as well, I'm sure you will be pleased! And honestly, I think just using the Radar as conversion is going to be your best bet. If you recorded on the actual Radar HD you would essentially just be recording to a DAW anyways. So unless I'm understanding you incorrectly, you might as well have access to all of the different tools available inside PT.

Thinking about all the possibilities... |

Your in for a bad ass setup, Calvin. Happy for you bro. About the console, I use a Soundcraft Ghost but it's highly modified. I basically use the shell because I went through it and replaced nearly every component. It doesn't take up much real estate in the Argosy desk. This might be a viable option for you to look at. Either way, enjoy the Radar!! |

Either way, enjoy the Radar!! Thanks. I'm sure I will enjoy the Radar a great deal. I came into the industry on a Stephens 2" 24 track machine feeding a Neotek Elite console. Yes, I was very spoiled from a young age. These days, I just don't get the satisfaction I'm looking for from working a mouse. Anything I can do to get back closer to the way I used to work would be great. So, I'm sure I'll enjoy the Radar, and I bet I'll end up tracking to the Radar rather than just using the conversion on the way to protools (or Logic). I guess it's only natural to want to put a console in here, but we'll see. If/when Jeff Steiger starts making his CAPI console available, I might go that route. It would sound amazing, and I could build it piece-by-piece. Even if it took a couple of years to get it all together, it would be great. Or, I could grab something like a ghost or other smaller console and tweak it to my satisfaction. Either way, having the Radar here will make things a bit more enjoyable. Should be a fun fall season! |
