    Edirol fa-101: am I missing something?

    doubtless they'll be cutting corners. It just seems to be common sense. also, I've read tons of bad reviews about the firepod's less than stellar digital conversion, latency, and clarity. I'm not so interested in the preamps anyway, although I also like the option of going bus powered without...

    Edirol fa-101: am I missing something?

    cheaper than all other cards in it's range of general capabilities (adat, spidif, routing options being slightly superfluous for my needs) why does no one really talk about it or seem to use it? I've found no bad reviews anywhere. the worst thing I've found is that the preamps maybe aren't as...

    visual editing

    I used to use cool edit/adobe audition on my old pc, but now I have a macbook pro. I've been fooling around with some programs (logic, digital performer, bias peak, etc.) with audition I could simply switch to the edit view, apply effects and immediately see the visual outcome (and obviously...

    Regarding external hard drives

    would it be faster to daisychain the harddrive with the ultralite, or should I plug the ultralite into my firewire 400 port and plug my external harddrive into the firewire 800 port? I have a macbook pro laptop

    motu 828 mkII firewire specs

    unlike other manufacturers, it seems that you cannot (easily) obtain secs for motu products and you can't download the manual from the web site. I'm probably wrong, (sometimes I suck at looking for stuff) but does anyone know where I can find the specs for above mentioned product. also, I'm...

    Recording mallet percussion

    do a q sweep with the parametric equalizer.... then you can isolate the frequency of the pedal squeak and lower it. then again it might hurt the overall eq of your vibes track. I personally dig weird sounds like pedal squeaks... I think anything in the groove can't hurt your song. you can...

    vocal/acoustic guitar

    thanks for the suggestions so far the mxl 960 seems likw a good deal. I'm mostly concerned with signal to noise ratio..... I want to get a mic that does a good job putting the vocals infront of the mix

    vocal/acoustic guitar

    wow what a flood of replies. thanks for the comments on the akg... I'm hoping to get at least one decent condenser for $300 or under I currently have an MXL603 and MXL2003.... I like the MXL2003 (any opinions?) but I find the 603 to be sub par for acoustic recording... the bass response is a...

    yet another best bang for buck thread

    I've boiled it down to two choices: RME fireface 400 and Onyx 400f. I understand that the RME is probably a lot better but for 300 I'm short two preamps. am I better to buy the onyx and spend another 300 on a two channel mic preamp? I've been researching endlessly but I'm not adept at this...

    rme fireface 800 question

    I've noticed this issue with outher audio interfaces... if I use the front panel preamps on the fireface, do they defeat the line inputs on the back and vice versa. or, say I buy a seperate mic preamp, can I just keep adding inputs? can't find an online manual for the rme so I'm stumped

    MOTU ultralite question

    I notice on some interfaces you cannot record from the preamps and the line inputs simultaneously (example: M-audio 410) I can't find info to say one way or another... does anyone know???

    cubase le + OX tiger?

    Just got a macbook pro and I'm looking for an affordable interface solution (less than Can $700) to do some recording- sometimes just me, sometimes with a band. I've read alot about compatability issues with ox tiger and cubase le.. I'm aware that there is a new version (1.08 or something) but...

    Recording levels/noise reduction

    I've been recording for a while now, and I'm starting to get anal about generic pre-recording noise. I've tried many different settings, but I just can't seem to get the noise down to what I feel is a reasonable level. I have it low enough so that you can't detect it at all when listening on a...

    recording problems

    I'm using a delta-66 with cool edit pro 2.0 and I've noticed that recorded waves sound somewhat "digitally." I notice it mostly with acoustic guitar... it isn't anything too major, but It sounds a little less than natural. I'm new to computer recording, so I'm open to any suggestions on what...

    Delta 66 Problems help!!

    Is anyone using a delta 66 with windows xp? I can't get it to work. It seemed to install correctly (although it said there wasn't a digital signature-whatever that means) but now I can't get any levels. I checked the device manager and it shows no problems with the delta 66. I'm using cool...
