Are there any options other than lut buddy? I find it lags my pc a hell of a lot when absolutely nothing else does

If I go for 8 port, do I need to use all 8 or can be I just use 6 for the time being?
Are any of these not awful?

Nope it was not a disaster, hence wanting raid0 again. I want it solely for speed. I’m under the impression that 1x drive is slower than 2x identical drives raid0’d together, is that correct?

Sorry, I don’t really know anything about them. I’m a pc user, Intel i7,windows 7 64bit,32gb ram

Thanks for the continued input guys. Sadly the mics I went for don’t work too well at longer distance, they pick up way too much background sound.
I can’t get my head around this compressor now, I’ve played around with all values but the fact remains, if I have limiter ticked, whatever i set the threshold and release to (the only 2 controls in the limiter) if somebody shouts and it peaks (or would have peaked if not limited) then the audio after this point is significantly quieter than it would have been if i’d not limited it…

thank you so much John, I should have known it was lack of knowledge instead of lack of features causing this issue. I’ll find a problem area of some dialogue and play around with this in depth tomorrow.

Thank you Dennis. I’m going to have to spend some more time testing this effect as I thought I’d done all I needed to do to get the desired effect as described below. Here is a screengrab of my settings:

“The dynamics effect is a good way to fix problems with audio levels that vary too much. For example, if you have several people speaking and some of them are much quieter than others, it can be difficult and time-consuming to manually adjust the levels. Instead you can use this approach:
Lift the overall gain of the clip (or track) to a point where the quiet parts are loud enough.
The loudest parts will now be too loud, so add the dynamics effect.
Check the compression option and adjust the threshold and ratio until the louder parts are acceptable.
You may also need to enable the limiter option to safeguard against clipping.” -

could not agree more

Peter,
yep I always do that. Often I manage to talk them out of it but I never want to insist incase guests can’t hear.
It’s just something that drives me mad and I figured there just must be a way around it as I never hear anybody else complaining about it but I think they’re not as fussy as you and I!

Pete,
I do the same as you but if they virtually eat the venues cheapo microphone and the PA speakers are directly behind the top table you’re not going to get nice quality audio! 🙁
