    Startup Service

    Almost finished with tuning my system for audio recording. I've spent many hours doing it. One question I still have not figured out is if HD Audio Background Process needs to be enabled or can be disabled in Startup. It's from Realtek Semiconductor. I use a Roland Duo-Capture EX audio interface...

    Two Pairs of Monitors?

    Seems like a silly question but I'd be lost if I broke something now. I have a pair of M-Audio powered speakers that run from my external audio interface. Is it possible to run a pair of old Yamaha EM150 unpowered YES speakers in the chain? The Yamahas have 2 speaker jacks on the back of each...

    Help me Design my Space

    Looking for suggestions on how to setup my space. It's a loft. I'm not quite happy with the acoustics. I'm recording guitar, vocal, electric guitar - all with a Shure SM57 and SM58. I'm at a loss. I've moved things around quite a bit, just can't seem to get it. Is this just a bad space for...

    Recording Level

    I've been going direct just to get a grip on my process on the computer/AI side of things. I'm ready to start recording with mics. I found very quickly that a fingerstyle rhthym and lead track on acoustic requires my AI input to be cranked up way higher than direct. Is this normal? I'm using an...

    Monitor Connections

    Quick question. Is it alright to connect two audio interfaces to my M-Audio Monitors? One interface would be from one computer using TRS connections and the other would be RCA connections. If it doesn't bother anything, could I also run both signals at once?

    Amplification Gear / Power Amplifier or Powered Mixer?

    Okay so here's the scenario. I'm all set for recording. Got mics, got audio interface, got DAW, got headphones. I record guitars and vocals. I'm currently running my audio interface into an old Yamaha mixer/PA amp (from the 70's) to power a pair of PA speakers for general listening purposes. It...

    Guitar Effect Pedals

    Quick question here. Is it okay, or proper to run my guitar through my pedal effects chain then into the audio interface before reaching my DAW? Seems fine to me so far. Just wanna check with the experts. I have my sound. Took me years to put it together. I prefer using my sounds as opposed to...

    Two DAWs

    Quick question. Is it okay to install two DAWs on my computer or am I asking for trouble? Do I need to uninstall one before installing the other? I'm using a PC. I have Sonar X1 LE currently installed. Thinking of checking out Reaper. Edit: I also have a copy of Pro Tools that I kinda like...

    Connection Question

    So I have changed my setup. I'm now running an audio interface into an old six channel YamahaEM-150 using tps cables (I think that's what they're called they're phono jack plugs) from the back of the audio interface (left and right) into the front inputs on my Yamaha EM-150 mixer/amp, then to PA...

    Old Yamaha EM-150

    I have an old (you guessed it) Yamaha EM-150. Born sometime in the 70's. I've used it for a simple vocal PA in a small band practice setting and also as AUX output for iPods, etc. I've stepped up from a USB mic that was going straight into the computer for recording - to a Roland Duo-Capture EX...
