Audiomedia III - Digidesign

electronicmusic.com

The Digidesign Audiomedia III transforms your computer into a robust multitrack audio workstation with commendable ease of installation and cross-platform compatibility. Its high-quality analog and digital I/O connections simplify setup with external mixers, making it a strong contender for serious audio recording. However, while it excels in audio fidelity, the reliance on RCA jacks may not meet the needs of all users, particularly those accustomed to more professional connectors. Despite minor configuration tweaks required for some software, the overall performance shines, especially for those migrating from external digital recorders. In summary, it's a solid investment for serious musicians, but expect some limitations in connectivity options.

"I do almost all of my music work out of my studio at home. Ok, here goes: I use a pair of Adats, a Soundcraft Ghost for mixing, a bunch of outboard Symetrix and Lexicon processors for dynamics and effects, and an Eventide Ultraharmonizer DSP4000 for pre/post processing and vocal effects. For keyboards I use a mix of older and newer stuff. I have an old Prophet 5, a Casio FZ-1, a Roland MKS-50 with a programmer and an Oberheim Matrix 6. For newer gear, the Roland JP-8000, MC303, and the Novation BassStation are nice for creating new sounds quickly. I also have a little Korg 01/wR with a software programmer that can be coaxed into making some fat sounds (no analog filter tho). I'm pretty religious about not using presets, so I really favor the more programmable synths.

A lot of the recording and arrangement happens inside a PC; I run Logic Audio 2.5 for digital recording, post-processing and midi arrangement. I use an Audiomedia III card for digital transfers to and from a Tascam DA-30 dat. For guitar I use my trusty Les Paul through a Marshall half-stack, with an Oberheim Echoplex on the fx loop. "
