    Control Units

    I've been giving a lot of thought lately to retiring my old analog mixer (an old Phonic) and upgrading to a decent control unit/interface. I'm mostly doing computer recording nowadays anyway (but will keep my mixer and tape deck handy "just in case..."), and figure an upgrade would be...

    Reaper?

    I've been hearing a lot about REAPER lately (mostly good stuff), and was wondering if people here had done any real serious testing on it yet. I guess it would be best to compare it to other free software (Audacity, Ardour, etc), but realistically, I would like to see how it stands up to the...

    Upgrading my DAW

    Hello guys, I've been using the same DAW for about 1.5 years now, and am looking to do an upgrade. I'm just in the research phases right now, and unfortunately, a little out of touch with what's going on in the computer world at the moment, so if some of my questions are silly, I apologize...

    Reviews of Cubase 4 / Cubase Studio

    I just read a review (in "Sound on Sound") on the most recent edition of Cubase to come out, and it's not the most positive review in the world. It says it has a lot of potential, but they've done so much overhauling that it's almost like Cubase is going back to Version 1; there are many...

    Is Agnula Dead?

    I went to Agnula's and Demudi's site today to see if there were any updates on some bugs I've had on my Linux box, and it says the domain name is expired. I hadn't been to the site in a few weeks, has anyone been there more recently and know of any announcements that they're ceasing the...

    Drum Samples

    Hello, hello, I've been working on some projects of mine, and have gotten to the point where I'm ready to replace that crappy beat-box drum sounds I'm currently using with something a bit more realistic. I was wondering what kinds of recommendations people here have for realistic drum sounds I...

    Anyone know anything about this particular HD? http://www.wdc.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=137 I have an opportunity to buy one, brand new, for $40, trying to figure out if it would be worthwhile in my DAW.

    Is this possible?

    HI, Is it possible to transfer a regular music midi file (like would be downloaded on a midi site) and set it up in a program like Cubase to put "real" samples to? I would like to write a bass line in a music notation program, then turn it to a midi file, and then transfer that to Cubase to put...

    Video Card Recommendations

    Hey there, What tends to be the most common good video card DAWs are using now? I have one LCD monitor, and I'm about to pick up a second one, and need to upgrade my card so I can use dual monitors. Also, I have a separate hard drive devoted to gaming, so I need the card to be worth a damn...

    Help with 1010 Please

    Hey there, I have a Delta1010. I've recently moved my computer to another room, and won't be using the expansion for the Delta1010 for the time being, and would like to set the card up to just plug into my amp straight from the back of the computer. It's got the typical red/white audio outputs...

    Using 2 Delta 1010's

    Hi there, I would like to upgrade my little studio to be able to send 16 tracks at once instead of 8. What would I need on my computer to be able to hook up 2 Delta 1010's? Is it even possible, and if so, how would it be set up? Thanks,

    Wurlitzer Orbit 3 for $175

    Hey guys, At the Salvation Army Store on East Lee Street, in Greensboro, NC, there's a Wurlitzer Orbit 3 sitting in the back with a $175 price tag on it. The fiance wouldn't let me bring it home since I'm already taking up living room space with my piano and stereo, so I figured I'd let you...

    Small Midi Controller

    What's a good small midi controller? I don't need 88 keys, I have a keyboard for that, I just want something small enough to sit on my desk that I can make some bass (and occassionally, drum) tracks with. Does M-Audio make anything that's "desktop" sized? If not, who else?

    Question about mixer inserts

    Hullo, I'm thinking of picking up an old Phonic PMC1202 mixer to use as a drum mixer. On the back, it doesn't have direct outs, but it does have the kind of inserts where you can put in a Y-cable, so it obviously sends and receives at the same time. Can you use those as just a direct out if...

    I need some DIY Speaker help please

    Hiya, I found a couple SS-U580 Sony Speakers for free the other day. One of them has a busted woofer and tweeter, the other is in perfect condition. I used an epoxy on the back of the speaker paper on each of these, and it fixed them so that there's no buzz or rattle, but they just don't sound...

    DIY Monitors

    I noticed in the DIY thread below that many of you guys have DIY monitors. How could I go about making some good monitors? I have some good AIWA (I think that's the spelling) speakers from my old system that I'd like to make use of, but don't really know much about different drivers and such.

    No Soundblaster = No Soundfonts?

    I hope this isn't a terribly stupid question, but I'm still learning midi little-by-little. I have a Delta1010 and don't have a soundblaster on my computer, so can I still use Soundfonts since they're made to use with Soundblasters?

    Drum-mixing consoles?

    Hey folks, I'm looking for a small (8 XLR channels) mixer I can use as a portable drum mixer; the FOH board my band uses doesn't really have the channels I need. What's a reasonable (cheap) mixer that could be used for live (and recording) purposes that can take a little bit of road abuse?
