Greetings - I have a UR44C and a pair of AT4041's. Recording vox & guitar. So far, I've tried recording to a Samsung Tab S6 (Open Camera recording) and a Lenovo X390 (i5 10210U, 8 GB) running Audacity. The S6 was released August 2019; the X390 in Feb. 2019. The former sounded clean and...

Greetings - I have a Symetrix 302, which feeds a Delta 44 into my PC, and record using Audacity. I monitor via a mobilePre USB. Like this: I *don't* have Audacity play back the track I'm recording. Am I introducing unnecessary latency by using the mobilePre for monitoring and, if so, would...

Delta 44 vs. AudioFire2 Goal: Pass the signal from a Symetrix 302 preamp into Audacity or Reaper. AudioFire has the advantages of portability and a headphone jack. Any other noteworthy benefits? Any sonic differences? Any advantages in the the Delta's column? Thanks much. - Richard

Greetings - I have a Roland F-90 digital piano that I'd like to record. What sort of inexpensive hardware interface would allow me to record it into i) a WinXP PC running Audacity? ii) a Macbook or Mini running GarageBand? Thanks. - Richard

Roland F-90: MIDI or analog? Greetings - To date, I've only recorded vox & mic'd acoustic guitar into either Audacity or Music Creator. Would like to add some piano to a mix. We have a Roland F-90 digital piano (the manual for which has long since been misplaced) which, in addition to MIDI...

Greetings - Looking for a couple of cost-effective TRS cables that are 'good enough', to connect an SX202 to a Delta 44 (both recently acquired from evilBay). Thanks kindly. - Richard oldWithoutMoney.com

Greetings - I'm a simple guy with simple needs -- recording acoustic strings (guitar/mando/banjo) and vocals, one track at a time. I also would like to hook up MIDI out from our Roland F-90. My current home recording setup uses an AT2020 or SM-57 into a MobilePre, thence to a homegrown PC...

Greetings - Would like to upgrade my MobilePre, relatively inexpensively, and determine if 96/24 or 192/24 really sounds better than 48/16. To my ears, anyway. Simple guy, simple needs. I only record one mono or stereo track at a time. Need to plug in an AT2020 (so phantom power req'd)...

Greetings. I occasionally write songs, and record them using an old PC (Athlon 2700/512MB) running Audacity on WinXP, an M-Audio MobilePre USB and (usually) an AT2020. Guitar & vocal. Sometimes I'll add background vocals or another guitar or mandolin line. A simple guy (very), with simple...

Greetings. I need a pop filter (or two). Two questions. 1) Are there significant sonic differences between foam & screen? 2) If not, I'm inclined towards foam. But prices for the name brand filters are simply outrageous. Can anyone suggest where I might find a reasonable source for filters...

Greetings. If I have some modest mics (SM-57, SM-58, AT-2020) feeding an RNP preamp, what would be a comparably cost-effective way to get the signal to the computer with decent fidelity? Thanks. - Richard

Greetings - Newbie here. I've got an old homegrown PC (Athlon XP 2700), Audacity, an SM-58, an SM-57 and an AT-2020. Just recording vocals, guitar & mando. Perhaps some keyboards. If I watch my room positioning, I can occasionally get a decent recording of my wretched performances, but there's...
