You cannot route an audio signal through the c-port when the computer is off. The c-port needs the computer to know which I/O to use and how to route the signal.

What do you mean "he thinks he own the house"? You should consider yourself privileged to to live in his house.

I got an external power supply for my c-port because with my old computer, I had digital noise that came from the gfx card. With an external power suppply, you can "override" the power feeding from the computer, as it may be contaminated and the c-port doesn't have good power filtering. With...

All programs that are decently written can utilise multiple CPUs, if the OS supports it.

He he, I simply say that all studia have windows indoors...:rolleyes: Maybe I'll install webcams for the hidden angles.

Here's the latest version. You simply move the furniture a bit when you're mixing. Lucky me, my GF works with office furniture so we can buy wierd shaped desks on wheels pretty darn cheap:) Waddya think?

How important is it that the monitors point directly at your mixing position? In my latest drawing (see below), the monitors point "behind" the mixing position and I think I've seen a similar "mixing triangle" in one of John's studio plans. Should I try to move the monitors closer together to...

Just for the record, dual boot is not the same as partitioning.

If you just ordered it, wouldn't it be a tad too late for tips now?;) It looks like a killer syste though. I'd skip the ZIP drive though. I never found them useful, especially now when CDRW are around.

I think you're in the wrong forum. This is about building studia. Try the "other equippmet..." forum.

Do you mean the DSP24 Value?

The only thing I can think of is that your Dell may have some sort of "case is open so you'll get no power" thingy that isn't propery handeled. What model is it? My Dell (Optiplex GX200) has a very odd mobo where all PCI slots are on a separate board, which slots into an "expansion card board...

Mmm, me like. It's pictures like these that make it so easy to get the GF to approve building a studio instead of a living room.

This has some good info. Although it's written by people at Auralex, it's far from only about their products. http://www.acoustics101.com/

I was wondering if you went walkabout again. Welcome back.

What model do you have?

Thanks Mark. I'm basically looking for a pair of headphones @ around $50, just for tracking and "regular headphone use".

Anyone heard of these? It's one of those "much more expensive with a different name" brands, like 797 Audio, but has anyone ever heard of Pro.2 before?

Build your own. The only decent off the shelf computers I've come across are Dells. I have one but I would never have bought it if I hadn't gotten it so cheap. 667MHz PIII, 256RAM, 20GB HDD and a 19" flatscreen monitor for $100. If I could spend the money at the moment, I would build a DAW...
