I wrote an Email to Kurzweil asking them if they had any intentions of releasing a new flagship workstation. I told them their competition seems to release a new board every year or two, and they have not done anything for 6 years. I got a response almost immediately, as follows: - - - - - - -...

There's a new movie out called "Art School Confidential". The reviews about it brought up the point that applies to any art genre. I thought I'd share a bit of the theme. First, a partial of a review that hits, to me, right at home: "BY ROGER EBERT / May 12, 2006 I believe you can go to...

Just a vent post. I have spent dearly for piano realism on my Kurzweil K2500XS, and recently upgraded to an even better Steinway Piano sample than those I previously loved. I have listened and played with other manufacturer's machines, too. BUT... Just not anywhere close to a real (good)...

Shoot... i've had my first glitch with my synthesizer, a Kurzweil K2500. During a routine upload, via a floppy, of a MIDI song, somehow my startup in the System CMOS got corrupted. Usually, just like in a PC, you can exit the startup and gain control of the boot sequence by clicking on a...

The M-Audio owner's manual (outdated, by the way), says that the 2496 card is so flexibile that it can be configured to play GM sounds as well as the Windows OS sounds. Presently, my Audigy card plays windows and Media 9.0 sounds, while my 2496 is configured for SONAR. Anybody know how to...

Hey guys (and gals)... if our breakout cables on Delta cards (i.e. Audiophile 2496, Delta 44 or 66, etc.) should ever need replacing, does M-Audio make a replacement cable available for sale? Just curious, Todd

Just realized something about my Kurzweil synth's specs that I forgot about. So, here's my question people: Which would be better sound quality for recording? Recording my Kurzweil synth through its Digital Out to S/PDIF, but at only 16 bit @ 48,000 since that is the best that the Kurzweil...

I just bought a brand new M-Audio PCI 2496 Audiophile. On the outside of the box, it shows Windows XP support, but the owner's manual has not a single word about support for XP, only Win95, 98, ME, and NT. Also disconcerting is the Driver CD. There seems to be a driver for every M-Audio...

Read my post in the Cakewalk forum. "EMU 0404 with Sonar?" Todd

Am I missing something??? I have two 1/4" cables coming out of my synth (L and R), going into a "Y" connector with a Stereo 1/4" male end. My sound card's LINE IN requires Mini plug in, so I have the "Y" going into a stereo 1/4" to stereo Mini adaptor (I actually bought a 2nd of these adaptors...

There have been a few posts on the definitions of drivers, but nobody has given a good layman's common sense answer as to what "we" should be looking for when buying a sound card. Pretty darn obvious that MME is out to sleep now. So.... WDM, ASIO, or, and now also ASIO2? I've seen comments...

Other threads have made me aware of seemingly excellent audio cards by EMU, and would love to buy one (i.e. the 0404), but am afraid until I hear of others' experience. yay or nay folks? Thanks, Todd

PC4 3.0 GHtz FSB 800 with 1 Gig RAM Windows XP Sonar 3 Audigy 2 with Firewire port on it. Question regarding Sound quality, latency issues on 2 different M-Audio products: Firewire makes its connection to a computer via a PCI card, so then how is a PCI card faster or slower than Firewire? Am...

I've been looking at an ESI (Ego) Waveterminal 192X card that boasts some pretty good specs. But, as usual, need to hear from users to know if the card measures up. Anybody out there know or hear anything?

Somebody, please, help me resolve the remaining issue(s) with my new USB Audiophile and Sonar v.1.3. First, the specs: I use a Dell Inspiron 5000 Laptop PIII 650 with WIN 98SE, and it runs great. Then, Sonar 1.3 and it runs fine, too. I have installed the Drivers for my new USB Audiophile...
