I didn't buy expensive recording software, I did however just buy cheap recording software. Got Reaper for $40 which is a steal.

Guess I should. If I import a mic and customs find it they will ask me to pay tax for it. I would also prefer to buy locally in case there's any problems. I've had bad luck with electronics in the past. I did find an sE X1 large diaphragm condenser for a very good price. I did a bit of googling...

Can't find it in any of the local music stores. I can only find the V67N that seems to be a small diaphragm mic. Living in Sweden has it downsides it seems.

It will be studio only and by studio I mean my bedroom. If I ever go on stage I'll buy a SM58 but that's not happening anytime soon.

I've started looking for a mic since I'm sick and tired of the borrowed dynamic piece of crap I have now. I'll mainly be recording vocals and acoustic guitar but there will be other instruments like piano, some percussion, guitar and bass amps, maybe some flute and more. I'm basically looking...

Last time I checked, you can get 2x4 GB of RAM for less than 4x2. It would also leave more room for future upgrades.

All s1155 CPUs have a built in GPU so all processors are compatible. Other than that the differences are, H67 can use the built in GPU and the P67 can't. The P67 supports overklocking which is only possible on two models right now anyway (the 2500K and the 2600K, the K is the secret). Finally...

Sandy Bridge is the new middle segment. It will replace the current s1156 and the P55 and H55 chipsets. This is not the high end stuff to replace the s1366 Core i7 and X57, they are released months later. So Sandy bridge will have motherboards in the $100 range and affordable CPUs. Expect prices...

I'm sorry but I can't take anything you say seriously after you recommending that piece of crap monitor. Seriosuly, 27" TN panel and only 1920x1080 resolution? I wouldn't take that even if they gave it to me. That resolution is ok for a 24" but you really should stay away from 1920x1080 for...

After some work it seems like it's fixed. Seems like it was the IRQ problem a lot of USB cards have. I disabeled some stuff I don't need, pulled out the WiFi card and tried a couple of different USB ports and it seems like it's working fine now. As long as it's IRQ a PCI card might not solve...

If you're not in a hurry I would wait a couple of months. Intel will release their new Sandy Bridge architecture in January and AMD is following that up with their Bulldozer so there's a lot going on. I know there will always be something newer and better but the release is soon so I would wait.

I bought one this weekend and it crackles on playback. Seems like a common problem that's not related to Windows 7 but a conflict of USB devices. I'm currently working on fixing it. Seems like many people get it to work by simply moving around the USB ports untill they find a combination that works.

I ended upp getting the M-Audio Fast Track Pro. Turned out it was pretty much the only thing I could easily get that filled my specifications and budget. The next thing that was slightly better was twice the price so that really wasn't an option. So far I'm happy with it and to my untrained...

Do you need the extra support for virtual machines, UNIX support and extra encryption possibilites? Most likely not so I would say that Ultimate is a waste of money. Pro has some nice features over Home Premium thought, like the ability to act as a Remote Desktop server which is neat. It also...

There are cheap VGA splitters you can use. Not so sure how well it works though since VGA is not that great for higher resolutions. Unless both your monitor and your TV has the same resolution the image on the TV will be rather distorted or in the worst case, some might be missing. Don't really...
