    playback problems

    I record with a delta 1010 and cool edit pro. My first real session was yesterday, and everything went smooth enough, but when I was listening to the songs this morning it was really choppy. Tracks start to skip around, and then one track gets out of time with the others and it sounds awful...

    Foriegn Alesis?!?!?!

    I just ordered a new Alesis 12R from musicians friend, for only 230$ I coudln't pass it up. It arrived to my doorstep and I ran to the box riped it open, but right before I plug it in I notice it has a huge outlet. The output on this thing is 220 VAC! On the manual it says it shouldbe 120 (so...

    insert cable snake?

    Are there any such thing as an insert cable snake? I need 8 channels of insert cables to patch my mixer to my soundcard and buying 8 insert cables is expensive.

    click tracks?

    I've always recorded bands live in my modest home studio, but I want to start experimenting with recording with click tracks. I guess I'll figure out the tempo of the song, then record a click track, then have the whole band play the song but only be recording drums. Then The band can overdub...

    Alesis 12R insert question

    I'm looking to get a front end for my delta 1010 and was looking at the Alesis 12R mixer, but I just read in its manual that instead of plugging the cables in half way (like in Mackie mixers) they are saying to use a stereo splitter cable and plug the stereo end in the 12R insert and the two...

    new system question

    I have had a lexicon core 2 (4in/8out) soundcard for about two years running on windows 98, it can only run on 98. I have just got a new computer and a delta 1010, and I'm not sure what OS to put on it. I'd assume the 1010 would work best with XP. Could I put 98 on the new computer and use both...

    SM PR8 Eight-Channel Mic Pre-Amp

    Has anyone used one of these? What pre-amp would you compare it to? For $200 it seems that it would sound awful. Nick

    mixing with a mixer from soundcard?

    I have a 8 output soundcard, and I just ordered a soundcraft M-8, can I mix with the M-8 after I have recorded in cool edit pro (after I have 8 tracks recorded in the multitraack screen, can I send each track into the mixer?). I'll patch each output of the soundcard into the input of the mixer...

    tracking with a mixer?

    I want to get a 8i/o soundcard without preamps. So I'm going to need a mixer. The thing is, I've never tracked with a mixer before, so I don't know much about mixers at all. What will I need in my mixer to get 8 mics onto sperate tracks into my DAW? 8 buses? 8 aux outs? I'm looking to get a...

    setting level of output on CEP

    I'm using CEP and I choose which output of my soundcard I want to monitor out of while I'm recording. Is there a way to set how loud or quiet the output is? Or do I have to go in my soundcard settings every time I want to change how loud each output is?

    M-port?

    Anyone use one of these yet? How are the preamps? Do they compete with those of the Q10? Any big problems with the system one should know about befoer buying it? It seems like a great price for the soundcard ADA converter and all that software...

    software to "master" in...

    I track and mix in CEP, I want some new software that I can take tracks I recorded in CEP and "master" them (mostly compress and EQ them). Most of the bands I record don't want or need to have their songs mastered by pros, so I'd like some names of software that has good compression and EQ...

    thread to end all threads..q10 vs 1010

    I own the direct pro 24/96 and have been happy with it. For awhile I've been looking at the Q10 because it's the logical step up from the 24/96, but I would like to know before I go out and spend $800 that the Q10 is a better choice then the delta 1010. I like the Q10 over the 1010 because of...

    Guitar amp combo

    My 4x12 half stack is taking up too much room, I've decided I'd like to get a combo. I want this amp to be able to handle playing gigs (I'm not playing anywhere big, I don't need anything THAT loud). My first thought was to look at 2x12's because I'm afraid that 1x12's are going to be to small...

    dumb aardvark q10 question

    I'm looking to step up to more then 2 imputs, so I'm looking at the Q10. It's advertised as all in one package, so "you don't need a mixer". So here's my question: Lets say I'm recording bass directly into the Q10, can I hear what I'm playing right while I'm playing it? Because if you can't...

    stand alone mixers or sound cards?

    Which one do you prefer. I'm looking to buy a new digital interface and I was only looking at sound cards because they seems easier to use and have more features. What are the advantages a stand alone mixer over a sound card (other then the ability to take it palces)
