a Camber 17" crash/ride that I got with my very first kit about 18 years ago...I don't have the cymbal as a daily player on my kit - but every now and again I'll put it out for recording -the cymbal sounds great on tape

this defies logic...but I've heard many a bad cymbal sound great when recorded.... including a pair of b8 hats one of my first cymbals ever, a 16" camber ride/crash combo, actually sounds purty nice recorded as welll...

that's cool AlChuck and I stand corrected. I'm basing what I said on my experience with the presonus firestation = the wdm drivers only support 2 channels of audio while asio supports multi-channels... thanks for the insight..

audiophile will only allow simultaneous recording of 2 tracks...(a stereo recording) regarding drivers...my understanding is fairly limited - but I think that the main diff. between WDM and ASIO is that WDM only supports 2 channels of digital audio while ASIO supports multiple (>2)

the aardvark q10 has 8 built-in preamps so you would not need an external preamp/mixer. the delta44 does not have built in preamps, so you would need something external. other than that - the main difference in the 2 is that the q10 has 8 channels and the 44 has 4. If you're planning on...

sounds like you're having issues far beyond those that performance tweaks can solve....if I were you I would try a fresh install of the operating system on a newly formatted drive and go from there.

what operating system are you using? Make sure the audigy isn't sharing an IRQ with anything...this will most definitely result in pops&clicks. Also, disable USB as this can cause major problems (as USB is 'hot-swappable' - the computer is constantly checking the port to see if anything new...

what are you trying to record with? a mic going into the mic input (utilizing the audigy mic preamp)?

I track with a stereo pair of Rode NT3s either in X/Y config. or as a spaced pair...this setup is more than adequate in my book for picking up the cymbals (even hi-hat) - and I'm a drummer! If he doesn't like the panning of the ride....just don't pan hard L/R!! does he understand that a...

or...you could spend $6 and get these: http://www.explorersdrums.com/product2115.html these things work great. they have adhesive on one side...you stick it where you want the hole to be and then use an exacto knife to cut the head out (the ring is essentially a template). Once the hole is...

once you've plugged your 1/8" plug into the SB line-in - make sure that the line in isn't muted and that the record level is turned up. You can do this via the soundblaster control panel software

make sure that the proper driver is selected in the 'System' directory. The Maudio ASIO driver is the one that you want (I think that's what it's called????)

first, a disclaimer - this is for using SX 1 (not 2). not sure how many things have changed between the versions... in the mixer window, each channel will have it's own strip. expand the view to 'wide'. at the top of each strip there is a small 'box' (above the panning and level displays)...

isn't wavelab only stereo? you might only be able to record using inputs 1&2.....? I don't know how similar the units are....but I have a presonus firestation. I have 2 sets of drivers (ASIO & WDM) - ASIO support all 8 channels while WDM support stereo recording. The WDM drivers (which...

do you have the mlan patchbay set up right? are you getting 'green lights' for both input and output in the mlan control panel? are all of your vst inputs active?
