I'm sure people said this about guitar distortion 60 years ago...

I dont have any experience with the FirePod, however the order of software installation shouldn't matter. My advice is (if you have the room), create an image of your hard disk, and then start getting it all installed and running. If it works fine, first time (which is entirely impossible with...

In your bios are you able to assign IRQ's and reserve IRQ's? Do some research on reserving IRQ's in google, and I think that may help. It sounds to me that the hardware in your machine isn't giving the correct priority to your soundcard.

Please post a photo of the inside of your PC and/or give the exact name and model name of your computer. Ideally the service tag if it's a dell. Then I think I could help a lot.

The page took a long time to load. Most wordpress sites do. You lose 50% of your visitors if the main elements haven't loaded in 10 seconds (yours didn't). The site validates which is good, but still the accessibility for people with screenreaders isn't great. I wouldn't worry too much...

have a lock on the door, and a motion detector. If they're not deterred by a light coming on/alarm going off and a lock then they're going to get what they came from and I suggest you stay out of their way. My point is, most people will be put off by an audible alarm and a lock. If they're...

So I am going to rip out the DVD re-writer in my i7 820qm that I rarely use and replace it with a hard disk. Currently I have a 500gb 7200rpm drive that I am going to replace with a hybrid drive. I have about 90gb free, and if I move all the files I think are "moveable" I will still only...

I'm running a PC, athlon 4200x2 with 2 gig of ram. I use a LOT of plugins which my digi001 was able to handle fine, but I notice that I can only push the buffer on the fireface up to 1024, instead of 2048. 2048 is available for the mac but RME said it doesn't really perform any better. I am...

I can get a bunch of crap for the time being and just check the whole thing works and really get used to it. The 01V96 V2 looks really nice, but I'd want to upgrade to a digi002 first I imagine (else I'd need two pre's, but then I guess there'd be value in having a couple of golden...

I wonder if in fact, a simple pro-tools optimised control surface, an octopre/Digimax LT and another 6 pre-amps from somewhere, would not be more appropriate.

I notice you have the 002 with control surface? Is that essentially an 8 channel version of what I'm after? I have 14 XLR cables coming in from my live room, and a look to set everything up so it's always there and plugged in, hence I'd quite like that many inputs always available...

I may well do, yes... although I am thinking that a digi002 with control surface may be far better for what I need...

Ouch, I was thinking maybe £1000 total, and this looks like the setup is going to be closer to £2000 (card + desk). It DOES look very nice though. Do you know if this can record 16 or just 8 tracks simultaneously. I see it has an adat out, but I dont see any documentation about how many line...

Wow, and only £13 jabillion. What a bargain :D

Currently I have a digi001 and a super massive teac/tascam m15 (24 track 70's desk - this one used to belong to Phil Collins apparently)... The desk is ridiculous and is far too complicated for me to use... What I thought I was after was a 16 track desk (nice pre's), with 8 of those outputs...
