Hello, I need two mics, for stereo recording into a laptop, for recording jam sessions. Nothing fancy enough to actually mic everything up individually, but rather something to throw up for some impromptu jamming. I was looking at the M-Audio Microtrack, but then I'm like, why would I do...

I want to use my laptop for editing tracks and playing soft synths and samplers (Reason) but not really use it for tracking live instruments (I've got a desktop for that). Has anyone tried the Audigy cardbus? I know, Creative generally sucks, but I don't care about its recording abilities (or...

http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/FireWireSolo-focus.html It's nice to see some affordable FW interfaces coming out. This looks like an excellent solution for someone like me who runs both desktop and laptop. And only $199.

http://nuhi.msfn.org/index.html Cool program. Get rid of IE, Outlook Exp., Messenger, WMP, etc. and slipstream it with SP1 or whatever. I just found this yesterday when looking for a way to make my life easier at work.

http://www.echoaudio.com/Products/PCI/Gina3G/index.php I am so there! Nice and affordable, with the Echo converters I love, and built in pre's. I love Echo!

First of all, I have to say Audition 1.5 is the Be All End All audio app for me, and I am ordering my (student hehehe) copy today. The VST effects and Rewire capability make an already fantastic app even better. This is the program I've been waiting for. Anyway, since I had been using CEP2.1...

NEver build someone a computer, unless your blood related, and even then think twice. I built a former co-worker a computer. Athlon 2800+, Asus mobo, Crucial memory SATA HD, Radeon 9600 AGP. Burned it in for hours, and ran SiSoft SANDRA burn-in wizard. The same routine I've done for multiple...

http://www.silentpcreview.com/article146-page1.html Finally an SFF case, not barebones. A tad bigger, but w/ a 120mm fan and it'll accept any mATX mobo. And it's cheap, for what it is. This thing is really going to bite into Shuttle's sales, I predict. I for one will be getting one, for...

Has anyone ever ran this on their DAW? I am curious to see what others get, and how relevant you think the results are. http://perso.wanadoo.fr/vb-audio/us/mm/test_spp/test_spp.htm On my 2500+ machine I get: SPP1 44.1: 2909 SPP1 48.0: 2673 SPP2 44.1: 2187 SPP2 48.0: 2010 SPPM 44.1: 3302...

I want to be able to have a separate computer to run Reason, that I can throw in a little bag and take to work and connect to a KVM there to work out stuff on lunch hour. I have lots o' spare parts, so I was thinking of a Shuttle system. Here's what I had in mind: Shuttle SK43G: $199.99...

Echo has the new Echofire stuff coming out, one with a sub $400 street price, and new stuff from Edirol, Presonus, and M Audio. It's about time companies realize FW is the way to go for external and portable audio devices. Being an Echo fan already I can't wait to check out the Echofire 2...

I am wanting to record the clean sound from my new Spider II amp, with a SP B1. My question is, how far away do I have to be so I don't damage it with sound pressure? I've heard they're pretty forgiving in that regard, but I am anal about this stuff and want to make sure I don't f*ck it up...

I was thinking of upgrading to either a Layla or Delta 1010, but they don't have pre's. Which means I need either a mixer with 8 direct outs or something like the Octopre. I prefer the rackmount style, but $900 plus is more than I want to spend on the pre alone. Is there anything with at...

Hello all, I am a guitar player (who can read music). I want to add more dimension to my music by getting a USB keyboard (probably an Oxygen 8) and a softsynth. All I want to be able to do is play the synth in the computer, and record it in Acid, then mix it down to a stereo wav to import...

http://www.fxteleport.com/ Anybody ever try this program? It seems too good to be true, to work properly. It sounds like a cool idea though.
