Comments on: Is ISDN dead? http://brentheber.com/2009/05/13/digideliverysourceconnect/ Info for PT users of all levels Sun, 07 Mar 2010 02:54:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: soundeziner http://brentheber.com/2009/05/13/digideliverysourceconnect/#comment-3529 soundeziner Fri, 02 Oct 2009 21:55:46 +0000 http://brentheber.com/?p=60#comment-3529 No. ISDN is NOT dead. For music and VO perhaps but not for broadcast. All the live radio broadcast interviews booked through our facility are via ISDN. NPR, BBC, CBC, some of the major PBS stations, and more have only ever requested ISDN of us. Now, would I like that to change? Absolutely!! No. ISDN is NOT dead.

As we did the setup then with a LAN-trechnician, and had no issues since, I havent checked the setup. So maybe source-elements made the setup easier with newer versions... regards erik PS: Have you ever used the remote transport sync? Hi Mattrixx,

Worked a treat. I made sure I had the correct UDP forwarded to my main workstation however. In my earlier message, I'd mentioned I tried it, well I have bought it now and I am extremely happy with its performance so far... Sounds a lot better than the codecs I had been using. Hi Erik,

We actually use both ISDN and Source-Connect! I dont know how much time you spend using this plug-in, but we have seen major problems as the correct setup to use source-connect is pretty hard to achieve. Well we brought in a LAN-Technician to do it, but Ive worked with several studios around the world that had problems with that! So ive heard a lot of artifacts and black-outs... Im not saying that I dont like source-connect - in fact it makes my work a lot easier - but as long as you need special skills to set it up better stay skilled in using ISDN... Sorry for my english... regards, erik PS: Great site Brent! I work in a studio over in europe. We actually use both ISDN and Source-Connect!

So assuming they have SOME sort of software DAW they should be able to connect to you for two way communication. :) Hi JHinton,

I have recently tried it out and it is really awesome. I guess it's just a matter of time for the 'take up' to eliminate the need for ISDN, which I've never really liked the sound of (CDQ and Prima). Of note also is esession's 'Virtual Glass' (http://www.esession.com/home/index.php).. check it out, which is currently free but has a slightly different target market and marketing model. (it also does not have the unique restore feature). Cheers, Matt Nice one Brent!
