I'm using a computer like an external effects box via ADAT Optical cables between my Hardware recorder and an RME 5496 PCI card. The computer is also setup to send audio of VSTi's over the adat for recording. My comp is an AMD 64 2.2 or 2.3 Ghz single core, a few years old with 1Gb of ram...

Moved this question to the computer forum. How do I delete this thread?

There are so many different Eq, compression, delay, reverb, etc. plugin's out there, and they can range at a price of anywhere from free to thousands of dollars. For reference, What are you using now, and why did you pick out the plugin's you did over the others? What details can you provide...

I built a Drum Trigger from a Remo practice pad. I'll test it out later today. If it works well I'll have to consider making a full set and looking for a brain/controller to convert the signals to midi. I saw this alessis unit called the trigger I/O, and it seems pretty resonable for using it...

My Ampeg Combo Amp is making a hissing noise. It's not really bad, but not good either you know. Close micing it picks it up. I had it in for repair a while ago cause one of the tubes went, and money was tight then so I only had one replaced and he put in a different sized tube (the amp has a...

I want to invest in some DIY room treatment. Right now I'm in a cluttered room about 15'x17'x8 approximatively. I've been reading the sticky post, but am not understanding it all the way. I see things like 703, 706 etc. Ridged fiberglass, or rockwool, etc. 2", 4" etc. So hears what I need to...

I'm making some cables from bulk with Moogami Quad Cable & Neutrik connectors. How long can they be up to for quality results? Also, I need to pick up some ADAT cables. Is there any quality difference that matters from say Hosa to more reputable brands? I sort of thought the difference was...

Hi, The screw for the front strap keeps falling out of my fender strat. I've heard varying theory's from Putting toothpick pieces mixed with wood glue to just filling the hole with wood putty then screwing the peg back in. Figured I'd run by you and saw what you thought works best. I don't want...

It seems to have better action than the px110 and is back down to one pedal input. Anyone else try playing it yet, what are your thoughts on it? The pedal jack supports up to three pedals with a special (optional) casio pedal that looks like it is suppose to attach to the (also optional) frame...

I'd like to pick up a decent enough headphone amp for 3-4 phones. Cheaper is better, cause I could just run some off the board but I figure it'll be easier with a standalone amp. At least for any more than two people tracking at a time. A while back I was looking at a samson rack unit. Don't...

I thought I read a while back that you can make some great bass traps from fiberglass boards covered in burlap or something. Anyone know what I'm talking about and know the specifics? What are some other things I should do to my room to enhance the overall treatment? As it is right now I have 4...

I'm pretty content with the pre amps that came standard on my Akai Dps24 for now. That being said, I haven't really worked with any individual preamp other than an M-Audio Tampa. What can a good pre amp do for my recordings? What are some you would recommend in different price ranges, and Is it...

I need 3 hard drives. One for programs, one for Uncompressed Wav recording and other data and one for Large VSTi's. Some brands that seem popular are Samsung, Western Digital, and Seagate. I see seagate uses perpendicular read and write. Don't know if this would be a positive or negative though...

Ever used it, seen it, can comment on it or direct me to other user reviews on it? I can't find a whole lot so far online but it looks promising for what I need. Some details are confusing. Like it has 26 simultaneous inputs available with 2 adat in's, but how many can it record simultaneously...

Anyone know if Sonar 5, 6, 7 has Core 2 Duo support? What about Core 2 Quad? And isn't there a 64bit version of sonar you can opt to install? Questions 1) Does your operating system (XP home SP2) have to be 64 bit to take advantage of this or will just having a 64 bit enabled processor do it...
