Howdy. So I'll give you all the lowdown. I recently purchased a new external hard drive to put all of my audio tracks on an relieve some stress for my main hard drive. Now I have the hard drive daisy chained through my M-Audio Firewire Audiophile. Now I have the Audiophile hooked up to my laptop...

So I posted about my problems of getting my Firewire Audiophile to work on my laptop and I never got much help. My laptop DOES NOT have an integrated Firewire port and that is why I must purchase a PCMCIA card. After using many NEC and VIA chipset firewire cards, I got one of the recommended...

I've owned a Epiphone SG '61 Reissue model for about 2 years now and I love it. I've never owned a guitar with a Tune O Matic bridge before and I'm still not sure if there is a right or wrong way to set the height of the bridge and if it is a big reason why I can not get my guitar intonated...

First time posting a song up here so take it easy on me :D Anyway here is one of my band's songs that I recorded for our upcoming release. It is still missing a guitar solo, backing vox, and possible rerecord of the lead vox. We are very short on equipment but here is what we used Drums OH...

A lot is going on here with my problem but I'll try to get to the point. I recently purchased a PCMCIA Firewire card for my laptop so I would be able to hook up a recently purchased M-Audio Firewire Audiophile to it. So I go ahead and install everything and Windows seems to think everything is...

I've been doing lot of research and I'm thinking about building a DAW since it seems like a great investment and would be a lot better for recording than my laptop. Question is to anybody that has a custom built DAW. DO you use it for recording and internet? Just the whole virus and spyware...

Hey everybody. I'm planning on doing some recording pretty soon but I'm short on mics. I've heard from a few people that I could rent microphones. I'm not sure where to find places that rent out equipment. Would local music store probably do this? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I just don't...

Ok so here's my story. I have this old desktop from way back in 1996. I've been looking on ebay for some upgrade parts and it seemed like it would be a fairly cheap and fun project to try to turn this thing into a little DAW (I don't record with a lot of tracks, I like my music simple). Anyway I...

Not sure if this is a stupid question or not but I've been thinking about putting some money out and getting a 24 bit audio interface. My biggest concern is how well they reproduce the original sound. What I mean by this is how when I record to my old reel to reel, it sounds just like it does...

Hello everyone. I am fairly new to using wave editors and the one I am currently using is Audacity, which I've heard many good things about. My question is can you use a program like this to edit digital peaking on a wave file? I was looking at some old demos I've made in the past that I never...

To anyone who may have this or may know anything about the Edirol PCR-1, would I be able to hook up my mixer to this unit through the RCA inputs and use this as an audio interface for my laptop. I've been looking around for something that fits my budget (college student, you know the deal) and...

I've been working on a project recently for a friends band and everything is recorded and sounds pretty damn good (just a demo, nothing too serious). Anyways I thought the vocals sounded pretty dry so I added some reverb and echo to them to liven them up a bit. Problem is I can hardly tell there...

I'm sure most people here don't like using plug-ins or if they do, presets but i'm have trouble with two of them. One is called "Mix Down" and the other is "Premastering". Now the thing I was wondering is which I should use for when I'm first mixing and which one for mastering. The terms are...
