I can't monitor what I'm recording and hear the previously recorded tracks at the same time. I am going in from the POD to the sound card and am using CEP 2.0. The Quattro says to set your software to go to the outs of the Quattro 1/2 or 3/4. I don't see any settings for that. thanks dave

I have a soundcard on the way and need a preamp. I got to thinking that maybe I should just get a decent 8 track mixer with decent preamps. I have max of 850.00 to spend. What do you guys think of that? dave

I am building a home recording setup and the only item I have so far is a Quattro sound card on the way. I think my next step should be a pre-amp. I am thinking of the Grace 101. Is that a good choice for vocals? I'll be recording vocals and guitar to start out with. Also, would that pre be used...

Anyone have any experience with this card? Musiciansfriend for 259.00. I need to upgrade the card that came with my computer. And I'll need a pre-amp, right? Any suggestions? thanks, dave

I have a Sony VAIO and want to upgrade my Soundcard. What do you guys think of the M-Audio Audiophile USB? It's about what I can afford and can get it at MF for 499.00. Will it work with my computer? I am running windows ME. Can I do up to 4 mics at once? It looks like I can. Do I need to get a...

Does one usually use a mic pre-amp for live sound? If you can then how do you by-pass the pre's on the board? Maybe pre's are used only for recording? dave

I need to record acoustic guitar and I've heard of a pre-amp that's made for acoustic guitar made by ART. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I just can't get a good acoustic sound and am hoping this helps. davem

Has anyone heard of the Kurzwell RG-100. I need a midi keyboard and this one is for sale. They don't know how to sale it for and I was wondering how much it is worth. It has a slight problem in that the foot pedal responds backwards. On is off and off is on. davem

while not having posted anything yet I have downloaded many songs from this forum and have noticed on most songs I get a feeling of there being something missing. The same is true of the songs that I have recorded. Many of the songs are very good. After listening to it the first time I like to...

Does anyone know if the Yamaha speakers model no. NS A638 is a studio monitor speaker. I saw them used and was wondering if the pre-fix NS meant monitor speaker. I looked on Yamaha's web page but didn't see the NS A-638's listed. Maybe they're an older model or something. They were asking...

I was listening to my synth on the 'puter whwn it stopped making noise. I checked on my device manager and found that the MPU is disabled or not there. Not what the heck do I do? Anyone know where I can get another one? davem

I need to know a way to get a good monitor mix. we four musicians. Would it be a good idea to just get line out from the house mix. We all wear headphones to monitor ourselves. This is a church praise band and soundmen are all volunteer and not a musician among them. thanks...
