No, that's not what I want to hear :-) But you should think there's plenty of hardware power when the CPU is approaching the 1 ghz mark, and you have 256 MB of ram to play around with. Guess the rather slow USB interface is the real bottleneck then. But I really I want the advantage of...

Hi! Going from pc to laptop, I'm having a bit of trouble deciding on the best solution for MIDI/audio recording. Will a USB interface card, like the Yamaha UW500, bring the latency down to an acceptable level on a PIII 860 mhz laptop? .Check it out here And what about multitracking? Will I...

The strangest things always seem to come out of Finland. So be on the lookout for the WLM "Hit", favoured by Herbie Hankock amongst others. It's extremely portable, actually folds into it's own stand and becomes a flight case...manufactured during the 70's and 80's. I own one. Dirt cheap and...

I've never used a sampler before, but need one now for live use and in the home studio. Well, I'm not even sure if a sampler is what i need... What i basically need the thing to do, is loop some short drum bits in the background, while i hammer away on my master keyboard, synth and piano bits...

240 monitors I own a pair of the K240M's (M, i believe, stands for monitor). The purpose of these headphones is obvoiusly to recreate the sound as close to "neutral" as possible, that's why some people find them kinda light in the bass department. They're meant for studio use, as a second...

Help a total newbie! I have to choose between the two. The analogue Roland juno at about 300$, the electribe ea-1 @ 350$. Will be used mostly for weird pads and extreme leads, in a Grandaddy/Pavement-like setting. I've heard that the Juno is hard to edit and has very limited live tweaking...

Your mixer's nosy? Prowling around your recordings, sniffing in your drawers and peeking at your girlfriend? That's Peavey for ya. The Pol Pot of Audioland.

I've been glancing at the Korg Electribe sampler - dunno if that's "professional" or not, but it's within my budget...know anything about it?

I've been recording and mixing on a PC for five years, but I am totally new to MIDI, synths and stuff. (believe it or not) Now I'm looking for a gadget to hook up to my cheap MIDI master keyboard, which will allow me to do the following in a live performance: - Import my own samples of organs...

Wesley - what you're basically saying is that "proper" sound is for millionaires, and the rest of us should quit because we don't get "reference sound"? Of COURSE twiddling your sound in Sound Forge is mastering. Isn't a great photo taken by an amateur a photograohy? A painting's not art if...

Go guhlenn! There's no reason to let professional assholes, who spend their days producing everything from gypsy music to a- capella nun choirs, tamper with your sound. Unless they FULLY understand the kind of sound your're after, specialize in that genre, are easy to work with and dead cheap -...

That post, camn, doesn't apply if you're in a lo fi rock band and send the mix to an engineer who tries to be Brian Eno and eq-filter-compresses the piss out of your stuff to "clear up that noisy recording". Just had to get it out of my system. Trauma, you know. :-)

On my SB Live i have about 15 ms latency, without any other drivers than the ones that came with the card. (On a 600 mhz AMD cpu) The platinum isn't different from any other live card, except for the Live Drive. Third party AISO drivers do exist, search the forum for links. I've only heard good...

The guys over at http://www.headwize.com will GLADLY tell you EVERYTHING and a great deal more about headphones. If the answer's not there, it's nowhere. I use the AKG 240 Monitors, which have been in use in studios over the past 20 years. Don't know about loud, but they won't misrepresent your...

You NEED a mixer. Check your other thread for what i said about the Behringer MX802. You don't NEED a preamp for your guitar. All the effects are available through software - you can add them AFTER the track is recorded. Or buy a damn Zoom 505 guitar effects box with all that shit in it...
