    My eleven year old is recording her music on SoundForge!

    I'm so proud! The girls are 8, 11, and 12. The 11 year old is the songwriter, principal singer, and choreographer. They sing pretty good harmony. Hope to have them on YouTube eventually, see if we can't kick-start something.

    Why do I need a dual-core system when my 80486 works just fine?

    Just asking. I need a blazing hot processor to run the goddamn OS and other bloatware, not to record. Needless to say this pisses me off. Once upon a time code was tight, right, and efficient. But now we're so caught up in snazzy graphics and...

    How to objectively judge a preamp

    I have a Yamaha i88X (which is generally acclaimed to have good preamps) and a Alesis IO2 (which is generally acclaimed to have so-so to poor preamps). The only mic I have is a Shure SM2B. I am recording voice over (M/F), vocals (M/F), guitar (direct and cab), and clarinet. Next on the mic...

    Dancing with Dell

    What a pain. Called Dell Customer Support (India) because of insufficient memory to load a driver. 1420 (Vista) has 2GB but still error-ed out. Worked with one tech, then a 'senior' tech, all to no avail. Called back yet again and worked with yet another tech, actually pushing binary...

    Perhaps I'm a little paranoid...

    Which I am sharing in a narcissistic exercise. Daughter went into the Navy and asked me to get her a laptop. Her budget was $1.5K. Where laptops are concerned I'm a huge believer in warranties simply because the damn things break. So going in I had a preference for Dell because Dell is the...

    What I want doesn't exist...

    ... wonder what it would cost to make it? A single channel quality preamp/EQ/ADA converter/phone patch channel strip that snaps under (and is powered by the battery of) a 14.1" Dell laptop. The phone patch must work with cell phones. Hmmmmm...... Right now... as long as I win the lottery and...

    Now THIS is f'ing cool!!!

    If you record with a laptop you may have become aware of solid state disk drives such as those used in the MacBook Air, but... ye gods!... the prices! Well, SansDigital has just come out with a cool little idea that packs two compact flash cards into a 2.5" SATA2 enclosure. Thus, for $489...

    Do you ever... just for the hell of it...

    Build your dream computer du jour on paper? In somewhat the same fashion as the MacDonald's Index I like to set a budget of $1,000 and see how much I can get a couple of times a year. In the past, sometimes I could get more, sometimes I'd get less. But of late it just gets better and better...

    Inserts

    I have an Alesis IO|2 which features a TRS insert jack on each channel. As there are not seperate send and receive jacks I am assuming that each jack is both send and receive. Please advise.

    Who's the malformed impotent mongoloid social malaprop?

    Has Studio Projects lost it's edge?

    When I first joined up Studio Projects was all the rage, everyone raving about the C1. Then the B1 and T1 came out. Everyone's tounge was waging, and raving, over the sound. Allan was frequently hanging out, Harvey would weigh in, it was an interesting time. Studio Projects introduced their...

    mLan. mLan, mLan, mLan, mLan....

    In another post therage! suggested that the Yamaha i88X was a solid sound card for the money. Since I had never heard of the i88X, and I needed a soundcard, I looked into it. There is a lot that I like about the unit, specially the reputation of the pres, but I am somewhat leery about the mLan...

    I just got a wild hare up my ass and figured, hey, why not!

    I mean, I'm stuck in hospital bed, and maybe, just maybe, this will help somebody. The eternal debate between IBM PC compat and Apple Macintosh... One More Time! I spec'd out the HOTTEST computer I could using the mwave.com website. This baby uses the HOTTEST Intel processor, the HOTTEST Asus...

    Top Drawer Bottom Dollar Voice-Over Studio

    I've been twiddling my thumbs of late and decided to unilaterally push this random thought out of my head and into whomevers... There has been much discussion and acrimony over exactly what gear needs to be purchased/assembled to create the most acceptable music studio at the most reasonable...

    A friend doesn't trust my opinion....

    There is a small system builder in town who builds and installs custom systems in Temecula. A friend asked him for a custom system based on a AC-1Core4 Carillon system, stressing the need for quiet performance, and he quoted the guy the following... Intel P4 640 3.2GHz 800MHz FSB, 2GB of RAM...
