Of course tuning is only really an issue if you're monitoring through headphones.

In addition to what the other two posts said, I have this to add. The mono switch is for monitoring purposes only. It's especially handy when you are tuning two instruments to each other. Without the two signals blended with each other its hard to tell if they are in tune or not. It's also...

Playback Device? I'm afraid I'm not too familiar with XP, but in Windows 98 you have to set the preferred playback and recording device in the multimedia properties dialogue box. If it were set to your internal sound card then you wouldn't be able to hear playback through your US-122. Just a...

Hi there. I am running Pro tools free on a Dell Dimension, P3, 512 RAM through a Tascam US-122. I had no problems w/ the interface at first, however since the desktop was given to me w/ several habitual hiccups, (sounds like a band name doesn't it?), I decided to reformat the hard-drive and...

Funny, I didn't think it was a political issue. I thought it was an issue of good business practice. As for "Ass holes" & "Nazis", I know neither of the parties in question. I'm sure that like most people Fletcher CAN be an Asshole at times. So can I. What I DO know is that I have a long...

Wasn't aware it had been discussed in detail... Have pity on a poor newbie?

While researching pricing on mics, I came across Mercenary Audio's answer to Neumann's restraint of trade nonsense. Though I am, as a newbie, completely overwhelmed by the volume of knowledge I have to absorb about both musicality and recording, I am somewhat familiar with good business...

Hats off to Roy Harper's Question... (a cymbal crashes somewhere in the distance...). Don't some mixers have a built in feature which utilizes pink noise for EQing?

I can't believe that no smart-ass has mentioned, ('til me), has mentioned the Led Zeppelin album. That's what "Presence" is. LOL

One man's humble opinion/question! I thought about going the standalone all-in-the-box way myself, but decided against it. (Keep in mind I haven't purchased yet). The main reason had to do with the upgradability of standalone units. (Although this can be a problem with PCs it seemed to me...

Man I got to check out my own post more often! Mike; Kewl picture. Now I have something to SHOW my wife. I'll let you guys know when I have the whole set-up put together. In the meantime keep posting recommendations. I enjoy the input as it clues me into the type and quality of person...

Thanks for the input fellas, (gals?). Ambi, what would you define as a better mic/preamp/soundcard? The reason I initially posted this thread was because I didn't want to sink my money into a noisy soundcard, that didn't have the input options I needed. That's partly why I was looking at...

Brief reply... yeah right! Mike, is snookums ok? (You did say "just about anything")! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! (Do you think he's thankful)? That was exactly what I was looking for! So let's see... I'm looking at Full tower ATX case Asus motherboard Intel P4 2.4 gig 2 Hard...

I did just a little research and initially Nuendo looks good. From what little I read, Cubase has less post-production options. Wether it's true or not I don't know. Considering that the majority of opinions I have heard steer me away from integrated control surfaces, would you say that a...

Great stuff guys, (gals?), I checked out your sound card recommendations. I had to stop looking because of the drool, (both lust and IQ oriented I assure you), on the keyboard. What I would also appreciate is any input into which products to avoid. I didn't make it very clear in my first post...
