Hello I posted this in the Sony section too, I wasn't sure where to post. I'm a newbie to PC recording though I'm getting the hang of it... Prior to getting the Tascam us-144 mkII for xmas I was simply going from a small preamp into the mic input on my laptop and laying down some rough guitar...

Hello... I'm a newbie to PC recording though I'm getting the hang of it... Prior to getting the Tascam us-144 mkII for xmas I was simply going from a small preamp into the mic input on my laptop and laying down some rough guitar tracks using Amplitube. Well, today I installed the drivers and...

I hear crickets.

Keep in mind I'm probably more of a newbie than you, however just for sng's I'll chime in. I'm using an "entry level" HP laptop, 250g HD 2.20GHz and 2g of Ram with Sony Acid Pro 7. I use my Boss BR 600 8 track recorder as an interface and go right into the mic input on the laptop and after...

Oops, my mistake.

Hi everyone, I used to post on the analog forms mostly, been a long time and now I'm gone all digital like and I'm like a lost puppy, really. Ok, so I'm using Acid Pro 7 and so far... I've been able to lay down some test tracks using Amplitude. I've been able to lay down (sort of) some midi...

Absolutely! The V-Verb is BY FAR the best cheap reverb unit ever made, bar none. None of the "brand" name low end models compare. It compares to my Sony V77 in quality verbs. Though I do prefer my V77 most often, it's a VERY close call. Never mind $200, forget that. Some places still have them...

Exactly! Some people will never get it. It's not their fault.

I can only speak for myself. I never said, nor implied that talent alone will get you anywhere. I gave an example of how I took to the drums like a fish to water. Do you believe everyone is born with a natural sense of rhythm? Go to youtube and look up talented little kids and tell me it's all...

No no no no no! Sorry Chris, you've got it all wrong. Mastery has nothing to do with "it", nor does putting in thousands of hours. BB King is no master on the guitar, there are probably dozens of guitar players out here who can put him to shame. There are countless 16 year olds on youtube that...

Those that don't "know"? Let me guess, you know? lol. You can asked "whether they or you would be more advanced if you studied some theory" if you want, but it has no bearing on reality. Eddie Van Halen and Eric Clapton never took guitar lessons, would they be "better" if they did? Would Buddy...

If anyone is interested I have a brand new factory sealed Boss Micro br for sale. I purchased it from my local music store who went out of business a few months back for $179, which was like $40 off regular retail. I never used it because I ended up finding a little Zoom PX04 off ebay for a buy...

In today's world I don't think a product like the DP-004 can compete when for the same money there are much better options. I mean the DP-004 doesn't even have basic EQ, that is unforgivable. The Boss Micro is a MUCH better deal. You get tons of, if not groundbreaking, usable effects, EQ, a...

Yeah, all the great songwriters of and before our time took music theory and read music theory books :rolleyes: Paul McCartney can't even read music, neither can James Taylor. I'm quite sure Willie Nelson never took a music theory class or read a book. On reading music Willie said: "I don't...
