I need some advice here. I don’t post very often here, but I read all the time, and I am always impressed with how knowledgeable and helpful everyone is. I have my own home set-up, and though it’s nothing too fancy, I really enjoy recording my friends and I. This last summer I recorded a...

So the other night, after a week of SWEET recording, I turn on my computer to mix a few tracks and.....no cigar. It won't even load windows. I said "!#*@" and a few other things my wife frowned at, and then took the computer over to my computer-whiz-techno-buddy. I use a Maxtor 7200 RPM 40...

I've read what I could about pops/clicks/jumps here in the forum, but I still have a problem. I'm running the Gadgetlabs Wave 8/24, nTrack studio, with a 700 Mhz Pentium III, and a 7200 rpm 40 GB hard drive, and I'm getting pops and clicks. The nTrack manual says to increase the buffer...

I am really confused here. I know that I'm just inches away from figuring this out but I desperately need help. Here's the deal: I want to get some drum tracks for songs that are mostly guitar/vocal. I'm using n-track software, wave pro 8/24, and the same computer has an SB live in it (which...

I have a computer that I'm using just for recording. I use Gadgetlabs 8/24, n-Track, and a good mic. Until now I've done mostly guitar and vocal tracks, and everything sounds great. But now I'm wondering about getting some keyboard sounds (specifically piano and percussion). The reason I'm...

I use a gadgetlabs soundcard, n-track studio, and some guitars and mics. But I really want to put some realistic-sounding piano tracks on some of my songs. I don't have a keyboard, or even a sound module, and I don't want to spend a ton (maybe 200 - 300 bucks). If you can steer me in the...

I've decided to sell my guitar and get something nice, a real good one to last me . . oh like a thousand years or so. My price range is right around 1200 bucks (assuming I can get a decent amount for the guitar that I'm selling. I'm pretty sure I can). So here's my dilemma: I took my uncle...

Two questions: 1) How far apart should your monitors be when you set up your studio? Or does it not really matter? (Obviously, it does, I know. But does it matter how far?) 2) The Tannoy reveal (bi-amplified) monitors are in a Kung Fu fight against the Event 20/20 (also bi-amplified).....who...

musiciansfriend.com has the Gina and the Darla sound cards both for $299. Can someone tell me the difference between these two cards? What can I do with one that I can't do with the other? Thanks. Squashboy.

Several people have recommended the "Layla," "Darla," and "Gina" sound cards (made by Echo, I think), but I can't seem to find a price for them anywhere on-line. They are listed on Full Compass, but I'm living in China, and I can't just call the 1-800 number to ask a salesman. The link in...

After reading a few of these messages I see that I am not alone in my musical aspirations . . . or ignorance. Sooooo, here's my situation, and I'm hoping some good-hearted expert out there can point me in the right direction. Here's what I have: A guitar I know it doesn't sound like much...
