I built one from parts I bought from Scan. It cost me about £700 about 3 years ago now. Even then, I got a graphics card, which isn't reall necessary.

I think OP is trying to find something similar to iRig or Apogee Jam. Though as I believe these are both for Mac, perhaps someone knows of a Windows version for OP to use?

I found those numbers interesting. and I thought I'd see what numbers my Firestudio Project spits out. Using Universal Control to set the sample rate, and Studio One to see my latency, I get these: 64 - input: 1.90ms/84 samples > output: 3.90ms/172 samples 128 - input: 3.36ms/144 samples >...

The interface is set up so that input 1 is left, and input 2 is right in a stereo recording. You want left and right recording? Plug in 2 mics. Want to stop it recording to left? Record as mono, rather than stereo.

For that money, you can probably get a fairly nice i5 or i7, and 8-16GB RAM. and I'd recommend 2 or 3 hard drives. That gives you a good range. I personally use a 2nd gen i5, 8GB RAM and 3 1TB hard drives. My CPU and RAM do plenty fine for what I do. For a plugin-heavy song, I reckon they could...

Two mics, pointed at separate speakers, going to separate tracks, adjust for phase, pan tracks opposite sides.

You should leave in just a brazili... wait, this isn't the right forum. More seriously, I just got some laminate wood flooring in, and just keep a rug under my desk and other heavy stuff to keep them from scratching the place. Other than that, it would seem pointless to hide the gorgeous floor...

I have much love for Samsung Spinpoint F3 drives. I believe the Seagate Barracudas and the Western Digital Blacks are on a similar level. I have 3 Spinpoints in my machine, and none of them have had any problems in over 2 years of using them. =]

I'm sure you could get Cubase working through the WINE programme thingy. As for native Linux programmes, I haven't seen a whole many great ones. One of the few things stopping me from fully switching. I use Peppermint a lot, myself. Which is based on Mint, which is itself based on Ubuntu. So it...

"readings I've done on the art of songwriting generally state this is a big no-no" You've been reading things written by idiots. =P Nothing is limited is music. There are no rules. There is theory. Understanding how music works, and why. But it never mentions how it -should- be done. It just...

"Shure seems pretty bad when they translate there prices to other currencies" My point was that you were blaming Shure. They priced it basically the same. VAT is what the government add, and has nothing to do with Shure themselves. How much it is worth on a personal level is certainly...

It's £316 with free delivery. Take off the mandatory tax of 20%, and it's £252.80. [US$381.65/AU$365.78] So it's a little over $350, but not to the point of more than it's worth.

I'm actually working on some template type stuff myself. I'm always moving between Reaper and Studio One for different instruments, But I have started with some really nice guitar stuff in Reaper, and generally know where I'm going for my bass and vocal stuff in Studio One. Just need to tweak...

I do try. =P "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to miroslav again."

and you could have just given an answer in the same time it took to write that out, rather than being a waste of time. Titan is not being rude, but asking quite nicely for some answers. As for answering, I don't believe you can actually add an 1818 to another, but with ADAT, you can add some...
