I'm curious if there would be a way to run my Lexicon Omega usb interface into my iPad2 for recording in Garageband.. Has anyone found a way to do something like this? If not I would at least like to find a way to record from a standard stereo mixer into the iPad. Thank you!

I received an iPad 2 for Christmas and I would like to try using it for recording. I've seen the iRig interface but it looks like it will only record a mono input like a guitar, keyboard, or mic. I'm wondering if there are any iPad2 compatible interfaces like the iRig or the iRig itself that...

I would like to know if there is a way or software that I can use like triggers by placing a noise gate to the live recorded audio track of say snare hits and exporting the data to midi? Does something thing like EZ Drummer do this? I'd like to get the midi data and then be able to use different...

My iBook is a 1.2ghz PowerPC G4 with 1.25gb of ram and is running Mac OSX 10.4.11. I'm wondering if anyone knows what version of Logic would be most up-to-date and compatible on this machine... It's probably damn old anyway, but I'm pinching pennies here. I'm hoping to find someone on eBay with...

I recently purchased the Blue Spark, haven't had the chance to use it on a session yet but plan to very soon, and I will be picking up the EV Cardinal and EV Raven in about a week. I know that EV and Blue worked together on these (at least that's what I've heard rumored from others) so I was...

Ive ran across the oppurtunity to pick up a TC Helicon C1 pedal for tuning live vocals but Im wondering how transparent the soft correction is for just mild reenforcement of pitch? Would it be unfavorable to use as a piece of outboard gear? Just want to hear some people weigh in.

I was once working on a session where a kick drum mic just wasn't available and I resorted to putting a Sennheiser e609 on the kick, knowing It would get down around the 40hz range better than any of the other mics on hand. The result wasn't bad at all, and the e609 was really comfortable with...

I'd like to find a decent, cost effective stereo mic for when I'm catching room ambiance. I like the fact that I wouldnt have to sit there and make sure I have two small diaphragm mics aimed in a perfect XY and could simply set up a stereo mic.. Any favorites out there?

I have the opportunity to get a Blue SPARK large diaphragm or an AKG Perception 120 large diaphragm. They both seem pretty comparable but I can get the AKG for about half the price of the Blue.. Which would you get?

EDIT: Just realized that the Raven is a DYNAMIC mic, and the Cardinal is a CONDENSER. Big difference lol I noticed that both the Cardinal and the Raven go on sale a lot and I might be interested in checking them out. Does anyone have any experience with these mics and know of the differences...

I'm planning to remove the trigger pads from an old Yamaha DD-50 and install 1/8 or 1/4 jacks for trigger input, and use the MIDI out from the DD-50 to input into my DAW. The DD-50 would basically be the "brain" of the drum kit and act as a MIDI controller in which I would assign various drumkit...

I have one of those 15 pin serial to midi cables and I was wondering if there would be a way to send midi info from my PC's sound card across that cable to my Mac. Basically play the midi info from software on the PC and have it record on the Mac in Garageband...

These were at a local Savers for $12.99. Seem pretty solid. Anyone know anything about these speakers? Online it looks like I might need to replace some gaskets and such but these might make some decent studio monitors, right?

hey so yesterday i found an imac g5 1.6ghz with 2gb memory at a pawn shop for $250 and snagged it. it has os x 10.5.8 i believe and is installed with pro tools le 8! any chance i can find an older pro tools interface to work with this just to get me started? are there any old 888 units or...
