    my cousin was throwing away his old Dell today, and i offered to take it off his hands. well, got home and open it up, stripping it of it's usable parts, and lo and behold.... the infamous SBLive sound card. so i just installed it on my computer, FINALLY hooked up my Audiobuddy, plugged in...

    How does MIDI work?

    i just have a bunch of questions about mIDI i know you first need a soundcard that can do midi, such as the audiophile 2496. and i know you need a "controller", like a keyboard basically. so you hook up the midi out of the controller to the midi in on your soundcard, and that's all the...

    i suck at coming up w/original sounding stuff

    they all sound the same. 4/4 time. 4 chord progression. maybe a two chord prechorus. rinse. repeat. i've exhausted my knowledge of progressions and how to create new ones. agh. i need some more voicings i think. i've used these already: Em C G D <------- alot G C Em D C...

    is there a BIG difference between a sbLive and recording card?

    is there a large audible difference that even a non-musician, non-recorder could notice? is there actually a sound quality difference? or is it just "a little" better. thanks

    i need CHEAP monitors!!! the $200 m-audio's are GONE!

    no one sells them anymore!! so,... i need something else. i figured i'd get the Delta 410, since it's only 110 bucks right now. if that deal goes away, i'll get the audiophile 2496. i have an audio buddy, but it doesn't work very well w/ my onboard sound. so... i was looking around, for...

    My review of the $39.99 condenser

    the MXL V63 BP which cost 39.99, now $59.99 i'm comparing it to a $9 radio shack dynamic. signal chain is: mic(s) -------> "MIC IN" to onboard sound .... welp, it sounds different. a lot more... reverby. kinda high on the treble. i don't know if it sounds better. i thought these...

    my 2nd post! "Get Me Out" - my attempt at distorted guitar

    hey all, this is my second mp3 post here. my first was a while ago, and now that i listen to it, i'm like "whoah that was bad". i'll probably say the same about this one in time. the music is pretty unoriginal modern-soundish rock. i tried recording my Peavey 10w solid state amp for this...

    Not impressed w/Audiobuddy preamp. grr.

    i am using onboard AC97 sound though. :( PLEASE tell me that if i get an audiophile or a mia that it will sound a LOT better. cuz i get much better recording using the "mic-in" on my sound card w/a radio shack mic, than the audiobuddy and a sm58 through AudioBuddy. that's not very...

    I hear the radio when i use my audio-buddy

    yep. the radio. is my crappy soundcard to blame? onboard AC97 sound. or is it the guitar cable i'm using to connect the two together? or is my audiobuddy defective? it's loudest when i don't have a mic hooked up, but i have the mic cable set up. if i turn up the gain, it's really loud. it...

    Some whacked out Audio-Buddy problems!! help me...

    first of all, ... i can hear the radio through my headphones. i heard, "From this moment on" in fuzzy lofi quality. second, the second channel doesn't seem to work at all. i plug in a guitar straight into the audiobuddy, and i don't get any response. thirdly, it doesn't sound very good at...

    Is Cubasis VST decent software?

    cuz i don't have any multitrack software. i'm using cool edit 2000, but it only has 4 tracks. cubasis comes free with the Echo Mia card. so i want to buy that card. i feel the mia has an advantage over the m-audio audiophile just on this free mulititrack software. i have an onboard sound...

    Is this a decent signal chain?

    Studio Projects B1 and SM58 ---> Audiobuddy ---> Echo Mia ? you could probably record some pretty decent stuff with this, right? vocals and acoustic. i have the 58 and buying the audiobuddy today. but i'll be plugging into my onboard sound card line-in for now. i'm stepping up from...

    so the Studio projects B1 is a good all around solution?

    when i mean "all around" i just mean vocals and acoustic guitar. thanks!

    So a vocal booth is the best place to record vocals?

    i'm guessing that it is, ehh? i'm really new to room acoustics and stuff, as you can see. my bedroom is 12x12 carpeted floor. i gather that it would be a bad recording room. so what makes a good recording room exactly? i heard someone say that recording outside would be the best. can...

    first song by me... "There is More"

    hi guys. i'm a lurker, that has come out to post. this is my first song i recorded. i don't think you guys will like it, because it's pretty generic pop/rock. but i like the words, of course, cuz i wrote them. :) the song is about how life sometimes just doesn't seem good enough. i hope...
