I'm simply looking for a pair of studio headphones (NOT IN EAR) and I have no clue about any of them. Please give me some insight on all types of headphones from $50-$150.

I finally got the recording process down on my TASCAM DP-02CF and now I really understand why so many people say "trust me you'll need a preamp." My signal levels are always low when I"m bouncing and recording multiple tracks. Does anyone have any suggestions for an EXTREMELY low budget preamp...

I'm trying to understand computers in general and there is just too much to know. I am saving for a laptop for my home recording studio. I am looking at getting a Macbook, not a Macbook Pro, but it lacks a firewire port. What is firewire, and is it necessary if I want to record, mix, and master...

Due to the importance of mixing, adding effects, and mastering with software I've decided to save for a new laptop and I'm filled with questions. Firstly, which type of laptops are best, HP, Dell, Macbook, etc.? Secondly, which software for laptops is better, Mac OSX, Windows XP, or Windows...

I've been looking at usb audio interfaces that are between $100-$400. Most of the audio interfaces come with some type of recording software and plug-ins with some effects. So then what is the point of buying the standalone DAW software such as SONAR or Pro Tools? P.S. Dumb question: Do MIDI...

I'm a guitarist trying to record my ideas. I have a TASCAM DP-02CF and that's about all my growing studio has at the moment, other than two KRK Rokit 5's and some cheap MXL mics. I'm looking at different DAW's and what each one is specifically made for because I really need drum tracks. Which...

I can now see the pros and cons of different DAWs but I still can't decide. Which DAW would you pick and why?:confused: Fruity Loops Studio 8 Pro Tools M-Powered 8 SONAR 8 Studio P.S. Sorry about the double post. I was trying to do a poll.

I'm looking to buy DAW software and it seems like the Cakewalk SONAR 8 Studio is the one for me. I want to transfer my audio tracks from my TASCAM DP-02CF to my computer, add virtual instruments, record, mix, and add effects. Is this software user friendly(for Windows Vista)? Do I need any...

I'm just starting out with this whole audio thing. I really need some help with the computer side of it. What DAW software is the most user friendly but still has a variety of tools? And when they say virtual instruments, does that mean that the sound is generated from the software, like a drum...

I'm new to the whole audio recording concept, so sorry if I don't word things right. I have a TASAM DP-02CF and an Alesis SR-18 that I record with. I have a computer but no space for a full setup at the computer. Is there a way to transfer the audio files from the recorder to computer for...

Simple question: What's your favorite preamp for $150 or less cuz I'm building a cheap studio and have no clue which preamps are nice?

I'm starting to understand what mixing does, but can't you change the EQ and add effects on the recorder itself, so why spend the money? The main question is how important is having and being able to use a good quality mixer? And if it's a necessary piece of equipment (I'm making a studio made...

I'm looking for a new mixer for my home recording studio. My price range is between $200-$300. I keep hearin people that say behringer sux, and some say that they're great for the price, so what type of mixer is giving you the most for your money. (P.S. I'm EXTREMELY new to recording so tell me...
