So, I just bought an Alienware 14x. I've been recording for years on my desktop, but this is the first time I've tried to use a laptop. Obviously, the Realtek crap card isn't working very well (interestingly it works pretty good in Ubuntu with Audour 2, but in Windows 7 using Sonar 7 it sucks...

Ok, I'm tired of recording one track at a time. It's been fun for like 4 years now, but I'm looking to expand my universe. Let me tell you what I want, and you tell me my best option. Keep in mind, I'm looking for the most bang for the buck. I want at least 8 inputs, mostly instrument mic's...

Ok, let me say that I have played piano for a long time, and own a few keyboards. Hey, I have an SK-1 even. Didn't realize they were that cool until I started reading through this forum. Mines not pink, though. Anyway... Can you all answer a few questions. I want to use it for Sonar 2...

Ok, here's the deal. I won some Event PS 8's on ebay for 300.00. The seller claims that he wanted to put a reserve of 375.00, but forgot. He's refusing to sell them for 300.00, and becuase I havn't sent money (due to our disagreement) I have no "legal" recourse with e-bay. He will sell them...

Ok, I'm looking at getting some monitors. What are "bi-amped" monitors, and is it better to get bi-amped, or active monitors that aren't bi-amped. Does this mean that only one speaker is powered, and it powers the other speaker with a patch chord?

Ok. I am about to prove that I am a big noob! I've been recording for a long time on my PC, but I want to take it up a notch. I need some help with connections. The first thing I want to do is get some monitors. I havn't decided which ones yet, and am still pouring over all the forum posts...

Well... I have played guitar for a number of years now, and own a fairly nice Strat... but my acoustic isn't exactly what I'm looking for. It's an Epiphone PR 350. Not a bad guitar, but I want something more. I've just got back from guitar center having spent 2 hours looking for a new...

I apologize for posting so many "newbie" questions... but things continue to get better for me, so why not keep asking. Ok, here's the problem now. I went to the musicxp tuning tips site, and tweaked all of my settings. But now I am having more problems than I've ever had with dropout. It...

I have been searching through past posts and have learned a few things. Like: lower latency is good, be can cause drop out... higher latency can cause popping and cracking... is this right so far? I don't know... So, my question basically is what is a good setting for latency. I'm using ASIO...

I'm having a problem with ASIO 2.0 in Cakewalk Sonar 2.2 xl. Sonar is only letting me record at 16/48, when I should be able to record at 24/96. Any suggestions. Yes, I know... I'm using an Audigy 2 Platinum EX... make fun of me... but help me too, please. Oh, and yes, the EX model is...
