All right, let say I'm recording a song using guitars, bass, vocals, and drum machine software. I decide in this song that I don't want drums kicking in til later in the song. My thoughts would be just to create a real basic drum part so I can kind of keep time with it as I'm playing the guitar...

First off, lets just say you're recording a vocal track...you let it record through the song and the vocalist sings at the points he needs. Then when it's all said and done and the recording part is over you noticed all the blank spots where the vocalist didn't sing. I put silence over em (using...

I just downloaded the latest version of Windows Media Player as it was brought to my attention that it can play CD's through it digitally without having to worry about an internal analog audio cable. Well, there's good news and bad news....Good news is it works, bad news I get some crackles and...

Ok, FL has been installed and I messed with it for a little bit. My 1st reaction was "oh no, not techno crap" since some of the drum sounds had that sound to em. But from what I've seen, I can get in there and change the parameters around and not make it sound so "techno" and more natural. And I...

In order to get Fruityloops I need to have an internet connection which I don't currently have on my recording computer. So I spent $50 for software that I can't even use on my recording machine. Can you guys help me in any way? :( :confused:

Ok, I'll start with the easy one first: where exactly in Win 2K can I enable/disable items from starting up when the computer boots up? Ya know, Win 2K's version of msconfig which I'm so used to in Win 98? Does it have something to do with Task Manager? Other question: How exactly do I get a...

I'm planning on buying some good but "inexpensive" drum machine/looping software so I did a search last night on the forums about it. I found a thread on the subject and most people recommended Fruityloops. I was wondering if this software can do fills as well as loops? I mean it'd get kinda...

Ok, I've tested this with CEP and I don't get this problem so it must be something within Ntrack I'm not setting or something. The problem is that say I record a drum machine track, then I record a guitar track. If I mute the drum track I can still hear the drum track within the guitar track. So...

Ok, to make a long story short...my computer is now officially running and the Audiophile has been installed and is working properly. Now my question is what exactly does all this software do and will I need it. Here's all the software included: Ableton Live Delta D Sound RT Xpress IK...

I've been getting some conflicting opinions regarding chipsets. Now you all know my current situation...if not, check this thread: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?threadid=78072 I've posted similar threads at other message boards and I'm getting a difference of opinion on SiS...

Well currently, my supposed recording PC that I had just finished is at a friend's house (one who is knowledgable about computers) trying to get the damn thing to work. Apparently what is happening is after saving changes in BIOS the whole thing powers down. He says he even tried installing...

I will 1st off say that I am NOT getting this soundcard, I'm sticking with the Audiophile 2496. Figure to go ahead and address that now before some of you all get worried. I was hoping maybe you tech heads could point out if this card is just another gamer card from SB OR could it be possible...

I was ordering hard drives from newegg for my recording computer I'm building, and I had decided to go with Seagate since a buddy of mine recommended them to me. I was going to go for one 20 gig (OS) hard drive and one 40 gig (audio) hard drive but I didn't see any Seagate 20 gigs on newegg...

I was pondering for my computer how I should set up the IDE devices on the computer I am building. I thought what I would do is run one hard drive (OS & apps) as primary master (by itself), then run my other hard drive (audio) on secondary master and CDRW on secondary slave. Then I started...

Ok, I'm in the process of building that computer...so far all I need is the soundcard (Audiophile 2496), hard drives, memory, and monitor. I'll probably order most of that stuff in the next few weeks. My question obviously is what would be the best OS for me to go with. I have access to either...

I've recently decided that I want to go with the Asus A7S333 motherboard so I emailed midiman to see if that Audiophile 2496 was compatible with it and this was the reply I got: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Chris, We have not test with...

Some of you all might remember me...I was one of the curious minds inquiring about building my own PC for recording some months ago. Well that reality hasn't happened yet since I've been spending most of that money on a much needed new bass rig. Now that I've got a bass rig I think I'm ready to...

This was brought to my attention in another one of the message boards I go to, not sure if it was ever mentioned here. But if you're a newbie and plan to build your own PC pick up the latest issue of Maximum PC. I picked up mine the other day and it's got a lot of helpful stuff in it. And...

OK, took a look at some heatsink/fan setups today and got a couple questions (plan on getting an Athlon XP processor). Is this the right URL in regards to recommended fans/heatsinks for Athlon XP's? Looks like it to me but just want to double check...

Ok, I do want to point out that I am no way against upgrading (you'll find out in minute) but do have certain feelings towards it. Ok, the problem I'm currently having (since I've already picked a mobo which is the Asus A7A266) is what processor to get. I have came to the conclusion though...
