Hello. In Cubase VST/32 5.0, if you plan on using sampled drum loops in a song, from a program like Drag & Drop Drummer or VST Drum Sessions, does that mean the only sample rate you can use is 44.100? I have an M-Audio Delta 66 which is capable of 96.000, and I'd love to be able to take...

Hello. I know this is REALLY basic but, what cable do I use to go from the S/PDIF out on one card to the S/PDIF in on another card? I know I use an RCA cable, but is it the same kind as you use for home stereo connections? Or is it some kind of special "stereo" RCA cable? The kind I have at home...

Hello. Could everyone who is successfully running a SoundBlaster Live! card and an M-Audio Delta (66 or 44) in the same system please list the Motherboard you're using? Many Thanks ~ Michael

Hello. Is it a big no-no to install games, ms word, etc. on a computer you plan on using mostly for music recording? (I will have 2 30 GB 7,200 hard drives, 800Mhz P3, 256MB RAM, etc). Since I will have a dedicated audio drive, is it ok to "corrupt" the boot drive with other stuff? Or am I...

Hello. If I'm using a Delta 66 for my analog recording into Cakewalk, and I want to use the internal synth from a Soundblaster card for my MIDI tracks, what will I loose by going for a Live! Value instead of Platinum? The Platinum has SPDIF outs so I could go directly back in to the Delta's...

Hello. Can anyone reccommend a good company that specializes in building custom DAW's? So far I've found Wave Digital & Sound Chaser. Thanks! ~ Michael

Hello. I was just browsing the Gateway website and I noticed that their performance line now has 30, 45 & 75 GB Ultra ATA 100 Drives available. Has anyone heard if the ATA 100's are worth getting excited over? The drives will still spin at 7,200 - any word yet on how this will relate to audio...

Emeric, thanks for the info. Yes, that was a great post on the other board by Slack - although the discussion got a bit over my head & technical. I'm trying to keep things as simple as possible! The 2 hard drive issue is the one thing that I can't seem to decide on. I'm curious - is a windows...

Hello, I'm putting together my first DAW after years of small time MIDI programs and 4 track recorders, and I was wondering if anyone could offer any solid advice on weather or not using 2 hard drives is really all that much better than 1 partitioned 20 GB Maxtor UDMA 7,200 RPM drive? I know...
