My US800 finally arrived, and after uninstalling all my other old audio drivers I hooked it up and installed the Tascam drivers. The installation went swimmingly… I didn’t even have to set it as my PC’s principal sound device, it automatically filled the role. I plugged my instruments into the...

When someone comes into the Newbie forums throwing a tantrum talking about "such and such equipment is garbage" and "you don't know what you're talking about person who's has 5000 posts and 10M rep points" people are jumping out of their shoes to console and help him. For the last 3 days I've...

My very modest "home studio" which I use to create simple songs by myself consists of only a computer running reaper and a DigiTech RP255 guitar pedal connected by USB cable. Recording songs is only a hobby and my setup is fine with me audio quality-wise, but I'm hoping to add a little ease of...

Hello! I have a Yamaha DTXplorer kit that I use for recording drum tracks, and have a problem I'm hoping someone could help me solve. Whenever I hit the kick strongly, the kit produces a crash sound. This happens in both midi and regular audio output. I don't think it is simply vibration...

I attend the University of Iowa and they offer a class on Garageband software through their music department. I never used Garageband and don't own a Mac, but I decided to take the class anyway because hey, why would you take a real class when you can get college credit for recording music...

I know Acid and some other programs have the reputation of being "looping" kinds of programs, which is how I like to make music a lot of the time. I'm not playing techno or rap or other genres which have a persistant beat, but even rock is sometimes easier to write using repeated loops rather...

Since I’ve gotten my hardware running relatively error-free, I’ve spent the last couple weeks learning and tinkering with different software, trying to figure out which one is best for me. I have downloaded trial versions of lots of different software including Reaper, Acid, Cubase, Sonar, and...

Actually, I hadn't planned on doing anything in the way of room treatment or monitoring... I was going to record exclusively direct to PC, through headphones. Is that bad? My situation is: 1. I live in a townhouse apartment so I can't be too loud 2. My music equipment doesn't use any amps...

I’m having a mind-melting recording problem and I’m wondering if anyone out there can help. I have been working on this problem for over a month and have still not figured out what is causing it, and this post is my white flag cry for help. I have a modest home recording setup using a TASCAM...
