I recently bought a SeaSound SoloEX and a MK-4902 MIDI controller. I was trying to set up the controller last night. No luck. This should be dead simple: The MK-4902 just has the MIDI out jack, which went to the SeaSound MIDI in. The controller powers up and seems to function, but I cannot get...

OK, so I listened to the people here and got an ASUS A7M266 and a boxed 1.2G/266 Athlon, at a cost of at least $100 more than other options. It looks like I have to get a video card for this, but am a bit wary as there are so many hideous, insoluble gremlins that come from AGP cards that can...

Anybody doing it successfully? People claim to. One of the selling points for the J-Station over the POD was that the J-Station was specifically set up to do bass with "models" (yeah, and what does that REALLY mean, anyway?) of several different bass cabinets and Ampeg SVT, Trace Elliot and...

I'm looking for a site that reviews computer equipment, specifically motherboards in this case, for its suitability for digital recording. So far, I have _never_ found a hardware review site that even seems to know digital recording exists (tomshardware is a good example of this). I've been...

From their website today (note wrong year in notice): ******************************************* 6/29/00 Unfortunately SeaSound is no longer in business. This page is hosted as a courtesy to current owners of SeaSound products and those considering using these great sounding, albeit defunct...

Anyone know what the standard center-to-center distance on the device mounting holes in rack rails? I'm setting up a jig on the drill press and want to get them more or less right. 8-) Thanks...

OK, I started to buy an IWill KA266-R today, but received advice not to do so because of the poor DDR performance of the ALi chipset. In looking at some of the reviews, I was surprised to find widely differing performance with DDR depending on application, regardless of momboard. Likewise with...

Need some advice in a hurry! Are there any "known issues" (i.e., PROBLEMS) for DAWs with the ALiMAGiK chipset used in the iWill KA266-R momboard, or with this momboard itself? This is one of the VERY few Athlon MBs with DDR and RAID, so I need to know before I buy. Did a search and didn't...

Someone asked me this the other day and I had no answer: Ultimately, what is the real difference between using a hardware compressor in the rack or preamp and the software compressors in your recording program? Is it simply a matter of being able to monitor the effect in real time at the front...

GC's selling these again for $99.99 this month and I'm curious as to the prevailing opinion here about the unit's usefulness in the home recording studio. I once saw a thread on r.a.p to the effect that these devices really _did_ do something. Thanks for any thoughtful input.

[Newbie question, mirrored from soundcard forum for more input:] This is the rig; check it out: http://www.seasound.com/website/sta..._solo_main.html I dunno. I think I may break down and get one of these after all. This is a killer price. The only compelling objection I had to them so...

This is the rig; check it out: http://www.seasound.com/website/standard/pages/product/interfaces/soloex/product_solo_main.html I dunno. I think I may break down and get one of these after all. This is a killer price. The only compelling objection I had to them so far was the supposed no-WDM...

It's kind of striking to see what people are charging these days for a dang bare box. Anyone scratch-build his own rack? Any tips/plans/sites? As always, thanks...

I'd like to see a page that clearly describes the prevailing terms for various pieces of hardware and their functions. For example, I know what a soundcard is and does, and I know what a breakout box is and does, and I know what an A/D converter does...but what is the term of art for an...

Still shopping parts to build the DAW... I've gotten a lot of confusing and contradictory information about RAID drive setups in DAWs and their value in speeding things up. If RAID is valuable, I'm preparing to go get a pair of Quantum 7200RPM 8.5MS UDMA/100 40G EIDEs on sale at Fry's for $109...

Other than the supposition that these are new developments to reduce latency, I don't know anything about 'em. I do hear that they are unsupported in many common devices, so I figure I had better get up to speed with this before I buy the wrong thing again. Thanks!

Man, I am so confused! I'm _trying_ to build a computer for a DAW, but am continually finding myself stymied by hardware selection questions. OK, I am going to run two HDs RAID, and I know that I want fast seek times. I also see that people recommend 7200RPM drives. What I don't understand...

OK, so I'm gradually building a DAW and buying the parts. I've bagged a couple of 8.9ms 40G Seagates to run RAID and was planning on getting some RAID motherboard with a 1G Athlon. When pricing stuff, I repeatedly ran into people telling me that bargain PC133 memory would not work reliably...

I've been checking the sales and there _appears_ to be different Echo Laylas currently on the market, one with 24/96 capability and one without, though they are both being represented as the same thing. What's up with this?
