I've read many threads about best practices when recording grand and upright pianos but my client next week is a musical cast which involves a toy piano on some songs. Ya know, the kind you buy a kid to dink around on? I didn't see anything in here specific to TOY pianos and wanted to ask if...

I got my Rode NT-1 today. I opened up the box, read the manual and properly set it up (meaning that I connected an XLR cable to my Alesis io4 interface into GarageBand on a MacBook). It didn't seem to work so I cranked the gain to 11. The signal was barely detected. I then tried the same setup...

I have a very basic setup for home recording. I use Garageband with the Alesis iO2. Recently I got 2 microphones: the AT4040 and the AT4041. I tested them the instant I got them and everything was fine. All of a sudden, Garageband no longer receives any signal from either mic. The signal gets...

I'm in the market for a new mic or two with the sole purpose of recording vocals, not live performance. My research has led me to one of these options. Does anyone have a recommendation?

I've been using Garageband for a few months now with no problems. I'm working on this one project and all of a sudden, when I went to listen to it, an error popped up saying that I have too many tracks to run in real-time. I consulted Garageband Help: I quit all other programs, deleted all...

I have a Line 6 Vetta HD amp head with a ton of guitar tones saved on it that I need to transfer to my iMac as MIDI files. I also have an Alesis I/O2 interface which I have been using in GarageBand to record. I hooked up the MIDI-out of the Vetta to the MIDI-in of the Alesis and performed a MIDI...

So I just received my Alesis I/O2 in the mail today and was dying to try it out. It works when I just plug directly into it but, when I try to use my Line 6 Vetta head with a direct line-out for the guitar, I'm having trouble getting the signal to the Alesis. I've tinkered with all the output...

I'm in the market for a digital interface so I can plug my guitar into my computer and record with GarageBand. I'm looking at the Alesis I/O2 and the MAudion Delta 44. I have 2 questions: 1. Which is better? 2. Whichever I choose, will I need anything more than that to record with GarageBand?

Do all digital interfaces come with embedded software that you have to use for recording? I have an iMac with GarageBand and, though that's not the best program, I would most likely start off with that. What issues arise when attempting to use any given digital interface with GarageBand?

I've been looking at 2-channel digital interfaces so that my music that I record into my computer doesn't sound as if it was done with a Fisher Price tape recorder. I've had my eye on the Alesis IO2 for some time now and have read some reviews. It seems like it would do the job but I'm having...

I've been looking for a quality 2-channel digital interface so I can record my music onto my computer without it sounding like it was done on a Fisher Price tape deck and I thought I'd ask the room for recommendations. I've had my eye on the Alesis IO2 and I've read reviews of it but I seem to...

I am brand new to this forum. I have been a musician for many years but am just getting started in recording my own stuff. Lately I have been looking at the Alesis IO2 2-channel digital interface to record stuff on my iMac but I have been hearing some disparaging things about it. Can anyone...
