Greetings, if anybody is electronically inclined, please shed some light on this. I got an ol puter with a 200W power supply. Does that mean that the power suppied is always 200W or up to 200W as needed. And if the compute is idleing, is there a significent reduction in power consumption? I...

Greetings, I generally see SPDIF conectors as shown here called what? coaxial inputs? optical cable? I am not sure, what I know is the connector type. NOW, I was looking to buy the Gibabyte GA-7VRXP which has listed: -Audio (1 x Line-in / 1 x Line-out / 1 x Mic) connector on its website. In...

Greetings, I have always seen the audiophile spoken of very highly here, i comes from m-audio which make the Delta 1010, so there is a good company behind it. I have also heard some people speak highly of Creative stuff, like the new Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum eX, especially for the price...

Greetings, Well hanging around here all the time arguing that I can indeed tell the different between 28 bit and 32 bit static, I feel the need to contribute some well made music to this community. Well that’s not going to happen! Seriously, my friend and I were bored along time ago one...

Another Soundcard poll D1010 vs AardQ10 Greetings, There are so many people like me who want a simple 8 channel setup but just don't know about potential pitfalls. And yes we should do our homework, but with so many opinions available here, its good to hear them all. SO for 8 channel options...

Greetings, Generally I consider myself a reasonably creative person (back in kindergarden I turned some pasta and paste into works of art) So I think that Mackie VLZ Pro 1402 is pretty cool considering I don't need 24 tracks or anything. But I am wondering why all the line level inputs...

Greetings, This may be slightly off music creation, but... I was hoping people could stick some WWW's of good places to shop for DAW componants, especially canadian ones (are there any?). That exchange rate is a killer on shiping.... Actually, any links you got are appreciated. Share the...

Greetings, Learning to play guitar a while ago to the early Metallica days, I became hugely influenced by the constant doubled guitars, especially the riff leading rhythm guitars. Even though I consider myself a fairly good "technical" guitarist, its just never as perfectly blended as I would...

Greetings, I got an MD8 (its so damn easy!) and I use it with my computer now of course. This sounds stupid but, what the heck is the recording quality of the MD8 as opposed to a direct computer setup. MD's are compressed and such, but is it equivalent to 16bit recording? 24 bit computers to a...

Greetings, I have pleading for help with using Cubase MIDI, so I just wanted to put a link to that plea here in case any kind soul is nice enough to pity me and offer help http://www.homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?s=&threadid=32994 Thankyou SirRiff

Greetings, Ok folks, this is a rant from a guy who has been exposed to so much information he is almost sure he understands it it all. There are good deals on two channel preamps (ART Tube MP) and there are deals on PCI card converters like the Delta 44, 66, 1010 and so on. Then you go the...

Greetings, I would imagine the Cubasis MIDI setup resembles Cubase sooo... Under the audio inputs section do you need to have a MIDI port listed for MIDI recording to work? My inputs list as Wav L and Wav R. My stereo audio works. But my midi doesnt.....do I have to activate an input? Should...

Greetings, Ok, up to now I have just recorded my drum machine (Alesis SR16) straight to .wav and just lived with it. Now, I figure I should finally join the year 2001 and record via MIDI. Heres the thing, I just don't get why I don't get a signal into some sequencer softwear, i got a demo of...

Greetings, Exactly how to you exploit the duel monitor system... A recoding program in one and editing in the other... That doesn't seem like a huge advantage (maybe with 20 tracks) How hard is it to setup? What kind of hardware is needed? Just wondering, SirRiff

Greetings, I have been messing with CEP for a little while now. I have an Alesis SR16 drum maching that I normally just record as a wav for simplicity. Now I want to record it as a midi track. I have fiddled and have absolutely no idea how to do this. I thought I would plug the midi IN and OUT...
