Sorry, I figured these problems had everything to do with the EIE and not my PC. I'm using Reaper in Windows 8.

When I use audio output jacks 1 and 2, I only get sound through my left speaker. Jacks 3 and 4 don't give me anything. The headphone jack gives me sound through both speakers. Also, I'm getting sufficient volume from my computer (via USB connection to the EIE) but the volume is a little low...

So I'm looking to upgrade my rig and starting to seriously think about going the Hammond/Leslie route. I'm looking at the XK3 and I'm wondering if it's worth it to upgrade to the XK-3C. I'm not a techie so it's hard for me to understand if the differences warrant the extra cost. I'm also not...

The Marshall does have a line out.

Hey everyone, I want to record guitars using my USB interface. I have a Marshall Valvestate amp head (people say it sucks... it sounds ok to me but I'm not a guitarist), a Radial JDI passive DI box, and no speaker. I also use a mixer to record my keys through so it's available for the guitars...

Hi everyone, I'm a beginner trying to do some recording. I have four keyboards plugged into a Behringer Xenyx 1222 mixer. Basically I want to use two outputs on the mixer, one for my monitor, and one for my USB interface. So far I've been able to get signals on the PHONES/CNTRL output and the...

This seems like the route I want to go, although I'm not sure what exactly a VSTi is or does. I use Adobe Audition 3.0. How do I use Battery "inside" Audition? And I can program my own, custom drum tracks this way?

I'm trying to decide on the best approach to making drum tracks for my music. It seems most programs require external hardware like drum machines or MIDI controllers. I just want a program that allows me to drop drum hits note by note, measure by measure. I used to use a program called...

If you don't have a good sound card, you'll need to get a USB or a firewire interface. Check out M-Audio; they seem to be everyone's favorite.

Cool, thanks for all the replies. To clarify, we're a pretty tight band so playing it live and in time isn't a problem. We'll probably just go with that for the sake of having something to give to singers now. But really, I guess we wanted to just experiment with the click track and overdubs...

I want to record a demo for my band. It doesn't have to be pro-quality, just something good enough to hand out to singers for auditions. I've done a little recording alone but never recorded a band. My basic setup is to mic everything into my mixer, then go into a USB interface and use...

Well I've figured out that I need a low impedance pedal for use with keyboards. I've been looking at Ernie Ball. They have the 6167, which is 25k ohm, stereo, usually around $140. It specifically states this is for "active instruments and keyboards." Then there's the 6181 VP Junior, also 25k...

Just a quick update, I went with the M50 and it is AWESOME!! I LOVE the leads on it. After I save some more cash, I might have to look into that Voyager, haha. Anyway, thanks for the replies.

So I'm in the market for a new synth. My primary interest is as many cool sounds as possible for both a live setting and in the studio, with particular focus on good strings, organs, pianos, and weird, experimental lead sounds and atmospheric ambient stuff too. I'm not really interested in a...

Well, what do all of you use? I'm ready to upgrade my rig so I need to decide on this to figure out my budget. I usually just plug into a PA both in the studio and while playing live. Should I buy an amp? Or do you guys think a PA is sufficient?
