Does anyone know anything about the wav. splitting shareware called CD Wave? I need to split some vinyl wav. files I have on my SB Live! for recording to CD. I already installed it once without using it and immediately after that my CD burner blew. Thereafter, I removed CD Wave from my PC to see...

I have a SB Live! Drive with midi I/O. I want to use a better sounding card for recording. Would I need midi I/O on the new card to control my midi gear or would I be able to use the Live Drive's midi interface at the same time I'm recording with the new card?

Suddenly, my Plextor 8X4X32 burner won't read or write discs, although a few weeks ago, it worked fine. The burner is recognized in Windows and when a disc is inserted, it spins it and the system seems like it's trying to recognize it, but then it stops spinning and nothing happens. If I try to...

Could someone with knowledge of these cards please check out my previous post (2-8-2001) entitled 'Vegas 2.0 vs. Pro Audio 9.0' and shed some light on this soundcard subject? This business of bundling software with soundcards makes an already complicated matter even more so.

Well, after a year of considering what equipment I would need for PC recording, I actually got to the point where I bought some of the software. Pro Audio 9 finally came down to $180 at Musician's Friend after being at $300 all year, so I snatched it up. I still haven't decided on the type of...

Wouldn't it be great if someone made available a combo portable multi-tracker and pc/audio interface that would make it unnecessary to have a soundcard? Budget-wise, I find it difficult to reconcile spending $500+ for a high quality soundcard when I won't even be able to record a drummer in the...

I was thinking about asking the manufacturer of my new PC to cross-ship a replacement full tower case in place of the one I have now which doesn't have enough bays for an internal CD-RW. I will probably do the work myself. I've worked with electronics and done internal repairs before, and...

I called tech support at Cyberpowerinc and was told that I wouldn't be able to add an internal CD-R due to lack of a third bay, just as I suspected. They said I could either send the PC back for a 3 bay case or get an external CD-R. I looked up the case on Cyberpower's website and it was...

I should have taken Emeric's advice when he told me to buy my pc locally. I bought it from across the country and ended up with a pc that I don't think I'm gonna be able to add an internal CD-RW to without removing the Platinum Live Drive from the only available bay aside from the DVD one. I...

I know DVD can contain more info than CD-ROM, but for speed of software loading, wouldn't it be better to have a 52x CD-ROM drive than a 10x DVD? Which would be better for home recording? Of course, if you have a 32x12x10 burner to go along with the DVD drive, you'd still be able to use the...

I've read on this site that the 440BX motherboard is best for audio recording. My friend says that I should only get an Abet BF6, BE6 or BE6-2 because they'll work with anything. Are these the only best 440BX motherboards? Also, what is 440BX and why is it so special? Brian F.

Sorry, but I couldn't delete this posting that I tried to stop before it got posted. All I can do is edit it. Brian F. [This message has been edited by Brian Ferrell (edited 06-27-2000).]

I am probably going to buy an ABS computer. They give you a choice between a Creative Labs 32x8x4 burner or the more expensive Plextor 12x10x32 ($109 more). I don't care that much about speed as I do about quality of the audio recording. Does anyone know if it's worth the extra money for the...

A friend of mine who is a pro computer operator says that CD-R hardware is better than CD-RW hardware. Is this true? I thought that a CD-RW burner also burned CD-Rs and since you have the option to burn both CD-Rs and CD-RWs, a CD-RW was actually better. Also, I've heard that burning CDs at 2x...

This was posted in another forum, but I think it is more appropriate in this forum. Pentium IIIs have a cooling fan that would be a noise problem with miked recordings in the same room as the PC. I've heard that Athlons don't have a cooling fan. Does that give them an advantage over Pentiums...

Does anyone know of any soundcards that support both pro recording AND PC gaming well? I've read somewhere on this bulletin board that certain pro cards don't work well with certain games.

Could someone paint a scenario of what it would be like to lay down a four track song with one track each for guitar, vocal, bass. and drum machine on PC. Let's say I'm using an SB Live Platinum card. You've already outlined the basic equipment requirements for me (thanks again), but I'm...
