If you're trying this to play live you're probably screwed. I doubt you'll ever get to the point where you can play your vdrums and monitor ezdrummer samples while playing, with low enough latency where it doesn't mess up your playing. You can detect 10 ms easily and probably less (even if...

Power hungry, overkill, and overestimating, what is this nonsense you speak of? I have 16x16 io and about 100x more DAW than i need, and I haven't recorded more than 2 tracks at a time in years :D Welcome to the club brother... Youre right about easier upgrade options later tho

I like the UR44 way better than the M-Audio 2496, 4 pres and plenty of io. You didnt mention an interface but it sounds like you got that covered. And if you have the option I also like the idea of trading a ssd for a BIG sata drive, and I'd probably take the i5/16gb ram over the i7/8gb...

I bet a pc with those specs could track dozens of tracks at once, mix down a hundred with plugins everywhere, and toss in a shitload of vst's, practically without even waking up. My old xp/cubase 4LE laptop with a 2GHz dual core, 2GB ram, and a useless 5400rpm IDE drive could handle the...

If reflections are bouncing off your back wall and coming back completely out of phase, they can cancel out what you're hearing direct from your monitors. Or if they're coming back IN phase, they'll amplify that frequency. If you walk around your room you can probably hear the difference when...

"Invalid attachtment" for all of em.. Get some OC703 if you can or Roxul if you can't, make some frames, cover em with fabric, and put em all over. Corners and 1st reflection points. The more the better. I have some pics of the ones I made...

I just spent a long time trying out dozens of diff digital pianos a month or 2 ago. I was mostly looking for was 88 keys and the most realistic piano sound, Yamahas sounded the best to me in general. I got a p255 with a stand and bench for just over a grand. Yamaha keys seem a bit heavier...

Just regular thin paint, not huge amounts globbed on it? I have no data to support it, but I think it'd be negligible. MAYBE a teeny tiny bit on the super high freq's. I think you'd never be able to tell, someone can correct me if I'm wrong. The kinda freq's youre TRYING to trap will go...

I use K240's, theyre relatively cheap considering how good a job they do. Sennheiser HD280's would be my #2 pick. Both are $99 new. I think you cant do significantly better without spending double / triple / more.

Wait what, what year is it man....

I know you know this, but I would clarify that by saying: Mic -> XLR cable -> preamp -> interface -> USB cable -> computer A preamp boosts a mic signal usually to line level. An interface converts a signal and sends it to your computer so you can record it. For any xlr jack on any mixer /...

Aaaand thats what I get for not finishing a thread before replying,

Or a full one...

I always thought sending distorted clipped square signals to speakers was worse than a clean signal well over the speaker's rating.

Also considering going with a new zed instead, It doesnt have direct outs but I can tap into the inserts. For the same $$ it wont have the channel count but I dont really need 16 tracks. Plus I'm kinda leary on a 17yo mixer IDK if it's really been taken care of or whatever.
