I don't see any references to such a thing. Is it the case that SX tutorial covers SE? Thank you.

I've read a few software reviews of sequencers, and a couple of times I've seen words to the effect a piece of software is pretty darn good, but lacks "advanced features" of a top-of-the-line Cubase or PR or Sonar. OK, what are the most "advanced features?" Thank you.

I'm getting a new computer for Christmas [for DAW] and will buy one of these two cards. Please let loose with any opinions. Thanks. EMU1212M http://www.zzounds.com/a--2676837/item--EMU1212M M-Audio Audiophile 192 http://www.zzounds.com/a--2676837/item--MDOAP192

I know that comparing the two is the oldest cliche in the book, but here's the question: is there really much difference? Can one actually do something that the other one can't do? Aren't the differences between them pretty small compared to the similarities? Thanks

To what extent do certain mics favour certain voices? Are there any generalizations you can make, as in, 'Brand A favours such-and-such a type of voice?' Thanks

I'd like to know the reasons for not using a recording PC for general use. The security/hacking/data-loss thing I can see, but what are the other concerns? Could someone please explain, or provide a link? What about downloading effects and all the media you need for recording? USB transfer...

Reviews seem to consist of those who think it very valuable and those who think it to be Of The Damned or something. What does it do for you? Thanks

On another thread, brzilian referred to E-MU soundcards as not being the easiest to work with. Since I'm considering buying one - the 1212M - I'd appreciate any opinions about E-MU cards in general. Thank you.

Do any of you prefer to go direct, rather than micing an amp? [I'm doing my homework before assembling a DAW.] Can you get as good a sound directly? Thanks very much.

I've pretty much decided on the interface, but it doesn't have any preamps. How much does one have to spend for a decent preamp? Any suggestions on particular models? Thank you.

I'm a beginner. I'm going to build a PC-based DAW, to run something like Sonar + Ableton + an editor, with a decent interface [PCI or USB 2] providing not more than 4 inputs, and maybe only two, since I'm going to be more or less doing my own projects, one track at a time. I need some advice...

I need a cable for recording, mostly guitar, through my AKG 320. Might as well buy a 30 ft. one in case I need the length sometime, eh? Which couple of brands are recommended, and at what price? Thank you.

OK, so I got myself a Tascam 424 MKII (and thanks to all for guidance.) I need a stereo cassette deck for the mix-down, and I don't have one. I can get a Fisher Studio Standard for $40, and it seems the one to get (yes?) Trouble is, the one in the store does not have a headphone jack. Huh ...

I'm wondering how the older microphones - say 1960s, 1970s - compare to the products made today. I know that in the electric guitar world, for example, some decades or periods are good, some bad, and the graph goes up and down over time, depending on the brand and who owned it when; but...

No dount microphones had different "voices," right? Do these differences disappear as you go higher up the price ladder? Do the best mics just do a more perfect job of capturing the "pure" sound, as if your ear was there listening? (I've seen mics advertised for 3 to 4 THOUSAND !!!!)

I heard this described as "20 years old and better than the Shure SM57" but I can't find much information about it. If anyone is familiar with it, I would appreciate some advice as to what the critter is like. Thanks you. R

I just bought a Tascam 424 MKII, and the dang manual is for a MKIII. I can't even play a stereo cassette on it without the thing sounding like the soundtrack from a Godzilla movie. Where can I get a manual? Thanks

I know the 57 a bit, but not the 54. How does the 54 compare? I'm recording alalog. Thanks

I mean this: generally speaking, * if these things look OK and seem to work well, do they last a long time? * are there things which are problematic? * are there things which just wear out, like mufflers on Fords? * if "normal" things wear out of break down, can they be repaired at...

I've read oblique references to this machine, suggesting that some older machines were somehow different from ones made later - and I'm talking strictly about the MK II. Anyone? Thanks for any help.
