awesome, thanks!

So I have Cubase SL and will no longer be needing it as my computer has died. My question is, can I resell this item to someone and will it work for them. I figure as long as I give them everyhting that it came with (install disks and dongle key) it should be ok right? I only recently bought the...

which way should the buffer size go? up or down? should i increase the number of buffers from 4, or lower them?

so after doing some deliberating, i've decided on the 488 mkII and have found one at a local shop for a great price. only problem: no manual! if anyone is willing to make me a copy of this i will send you money for the copying and shipping fees. thanks!

yeah it does. and you know what, i think i figured out that the problem may be that the dongle was in the usd port when we installed cubase, which it shouldnt have been. i'll give it another shot tomorrow and hopefully that was the problem

thanks for the advice. i'm looking into to several different things now. firstly, to defragment my mac i need to buy software since OSX doesnt come with it. is something like Norton Utilities ($99) good for this? second, i'm looking to probably get another hard drive now. i looked at the apple...

so now my question is, what are the main differences between the 488 and the mkII. the ones i know of are: mkII has 4 preamps, the 488 only has 2. mkII has two xlr input, the 488 has none. those are the only i know of. any others? can they both record 4 tracks at a time? i'm deciding between...

okay people, opinion time. which would you suggest getting? i'm leaning towards the 488mkII because of its 8 track capability. also, whats the difference between the 488 and the 488mkII? thanks

hoping someone can help with this prob. i am using cubase sl with my apple g4 powerbook and the program starts skipping/stuttering after recording for about 15 minutes (this includes starting and stopping and recording over tracks). this ruins the recordings and makes me have to shutdown the...

thanks for the help. i'm going to check on the defragmenting aspect to see if that may be the case. i've already downloaded the latest patches so that shouldnt be a problem. as far as the HD stuff goes i really dont have any idea what to do. i've been told multiple times that this G4 Powerbook...

I have a powerbook and recently bought cubase and havent been impressed by it yet. i keep having problems with the program starting to skip and distort while recording. no one has been able to help me with this problem at steinberg or on their forums. i basically feel that i wasted 300 bucks at...

First, are condenser mics better than dynamic when mic-ing amps for computer recording? and if so, why? second, i dont really know the difference between mono and stereo. i record my drum machine in stereo since it has two outs, but what about something with only one out? should it be in mono...

So heres my problem. When i'm using Cubase SL, after a few minutes of using the program it starts to skip and get distorted when i'm recording. It ruins the recording and once it starts i basically have to stop the session, turn off the computer and wait a while. What could be the problem...

okay, so i have a 100 watt Sunn bass cabinet and my question is what is the highest wattage head i could use without blowing the cab's speakers? i know the number will be different for a tube or solid state so if anyone has any idea please help. right now i'm using a 140 watt hartke head (solid...

So i'm going to be buying a new computer soon and wanted to see if anybody had some advice as to which comp. to buy and what i need to get started recording digitally. First: i am deciding between an apple ibook or powerbook. if i get the ibook it will have 640MB SDRAM (128MB built-in & 512MB...
