    Zoom r8 as interface?

    Anyone using the zoom r8 as an interface? Any luck? A friend of mine uses the r24 as an interface with cubase le and it works and sounds great. I'm hoping to have similar luck with the r8. I'm running cubase le on a windows 7 PC.

    Copyrighting one song at a time vs a collection

    So are the legal protections the same if I copyright a collection of songs vs one song at a time? I'm referring to copyrighting the songs themselves rather than the finished recordings. This is with the US copyright office by the way.

    Is 5:05 too long for an up beat modern country song?

    It definitely doesn't feel that long. I was pretty surprised when I saw that run time. But I'm not exactly impartial. :D Any words of wisdom out there? I know I'm not giving much to go on.

    seperate midi interface used with a recording interface?

    Ok, so let's say I'm running a Zoom R8 or R16 into my windows 7 pc (32 bit) to use as an audio interface. My recording software is Cubase LE. The Zoom has no midi, so let's say I want to send midi messages to my drum machine to control when it starts and stops. The drum machine (alesis sr-16)...

    Quick question: I need to download something to convert from WAV to mp3. I'd like a program that makes it easy to convert at different quality settings. Are there differences in sound quality between any of the programs? Free is best, but I wouldn't mind spending a little bit for something...

    Help! Was shipped 32 bit Win 7 instead of 64 bit...

    Ok, so this falls under the mantra "you get what you pay for." I bought a computer for cheap online. The company had great customer feedback reviews so I figured I'd take a chance. They shipped the machine. Didn't boot up. Turns out after some research, I likely had a fried motherboard (an...

    Help me understand something about preamps and audio interfaces

    So basic question for you. If you're recording w/a DAW on a home pc, and you have an audio interface with mic preamps that aren't very good, can that be solved by buying separate preamps?

    I'm looking at the Presonus Audiobox USB interface, primarily because I've heard they have excellent mic preamps.
