So I've been wanting to post some better music videos of my singing and playing on youtube and I've come up against a basic issue which I'm wondering if anyone here has an answer to. Basically, I want to record the audio using Logic Pro (I use a Mac) and then I understand I have to film the...

I did once... but I got better! :) Funny thing is, I never felt like I deserved to create anything worthwhile with it; I got no joy from having it, only a sense of guilt every time I launched it. Long story short, I purged everything from my computer that wasn't legitimate and went out and...

Yep, happens to me too. Sometimes with a melody or progression; sometimes with a lyric or concept of a song. Although it's a bit frustrating, in that I pretty well have to give up on my own song (as "they" got there first) at least it means that my stuff might stand a chance of getting...

I'm running my set-up on a 2008 MacBook (white) Core 2 Duo with 4GB RAM. Logic Pro 8 works fine for me, system-wise, the only issue being screen real estate. Like the poster above said, if you need portablility then fine but if that isn't an issue then you can get a nice big iMac for the price...

I've heard that said a lot so there must be something in it, but I wonder if the OP actually has no monitors at all. If he/she is currently mixing with headphones only, wouldn't entry-level monitors at least be better than that? I'm in the same boat, actually: no monitors at all so everything...

Hi drumsab, just wondering if you finally got the US144 to work with the iMac as I'm considering getting the same Tascam for my MacBook. Did the powered hub solve it?

For those of us who have limited experience/knowledge of home recording but are nevertheless keen as mustard, this has got to be one of the most useful and eye-opening threads in the forum. So much to learn and yet I can see the sense in most of what is being said here. It would probably horrify...

I use a Samson CO1u which produces pretty good results. I haven't noticed any major latency issues (although it is there and gets slightly worse over time) in fact I had far worse problems when I used a normal condenser with a firewire interface. Of course it could just be me and my lack of...

But if you use an XLR mic with a USB or Firewire audio interface, wouldn't you still be likely to run into the same latency issues? I only ask this because I had terrible trouble with a nice condenser mic (Rhode NT-1A) and an Edirol firewire audio interface; latency like you wouldn't believe. I...

Ha! I'd trade them all for a publishing contract. No better copyright proof than having your stuff published, complete with dates and mega famous divas and bands to sing it! ;)

I am also cripplingly paranoid about such things which tends to make me reluctant to spread my music about; in turn this means I am not giving myself the exposure I could have, etc... Anyway, I used the UK Copyright Service who charge £39 for five years. They have a US based operation too. I...

The Behringer C-1 is a condenser microphone and can't be used without the phantom power so you would be better off buying dynamic microphones for your remaining six inputs. These do not need phantom power and decent quality ones can be bought for around the same price as the C-1. I think this...

Hi all, I've just bought an Alesis Q25 USB midi keyboard and really like its compact size and quality feel but the fly in the ointment is one key which makes an awful springy metallic sound when it's released. The rest of the keys are super quiet but this one (bottom C) is so loud when released...
