You guys are all awesome with wonderful suggestions and input. I love it! Wish14 - I've been given the same advice on another forum. That's exactly how I plan to start. MrWrenchey - The toy piano isn't mine and I won't have a chance to mic it until it's time to record. geck zzed - Sounds like...

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...

Thank you all for your input! So I tried the exact same setup (using 2 different interfaces, different XLR - XLR cables) with my iMac desktop and had the same exact problem; I had to crank the gain all the way to 11 in order for any sound to come through. And the sound that came through was...

Thank you everyone for your input! The only other computer I have available to me is an iMac desktop which I will use momentarily to see if the problem persists.

I did try a different interface. I first tried with my Alesis io4 (using various inputs with the same result) and then tried the exact same setup with my Alesis io2 (using both inputs with the same result). Yes, I have phantom power and that is not a problem. By "it's just a duffer", do you mean...

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?

No I did that. I locked all the tracks. When I tell it to play, it displays the progress bar stating that it's locking all the tracks and then starts to play it. After about 5 seconds, I get the error. :-( I appreciate your reply though. I have this same question posted in the Garageband forum...

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...

Thank you It's on its way! Thanx again!

So... 24/48 is not that bad then?

Well... I will be recording both electric and acoustic guitar but the real question is that, though the Delta has 4 inputs, it does not have any XLR inputs whereas the Alesis has 2. The Delta has 24/96 but the Alesis has 24/48. Eventually I will be recording vocals too and would want the XLR...

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?

Thanx for the tips! For the record, I was not bashing GarageBand. I love it for what little I have been able to do without an interface. The truth is that I don't know enough about it and have heard great things about Logic, Pro Tools and the like.

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?

Also... First, I want to thank you both for the feedback and suggestions. I also wanted to ask if 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...
