    Mbox

    If you want ProTools, don't mind being limited to 48kHz recordings, and don't need more than 2 inputs MBox is definately the way to go. Especially attractive now that they're dropped the price to $350 (or $400 for the factory bundle) If you need more inputs but you still want ProTools, go with...

    Popping & Clicking sounds

    Sounds like pick noise to me. Where are you focusing the mic? Try backing off on the mic a touch or focusing the mic somewhere other than at your picking hand (try focusing it below the hole and towards the butt end of the guitar ... that was an odd choice of words). :D Also, does your...

    Plug-in power?

    Yeah you're basically right there, but for the sake of clarification, TDM plugins are handled by the Accel card, which is a card installed in the host computer (the more Accel cards you have, the more TDM plug-ins you can process). RTAS plug-ins, yes, are handled by the host CPU. The 192 is...

    What's the worst professional mainstream mix you've heard

    Damn! Guess I should read the whole thread. :D But really, it's so dark I think it needs to be mentioned twice. ;) And really, it's not just "Jellybelly," it's the whole (double) CD.

    What's the worst professional mainstream mix you've heard

    Thought of another one. Smashing Pumpkins' Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, while being a flippin' amazing album, is one of the DARKEST mixes I've ever heard. Not sure if it was intended to be that way but it sure sticks out (or rather, *doesn't* stick out) when I listen to it next to...

    A *REALLY* stupid question

    Yeah sorry I probably should have linked you to a picture of the 1010lt myself. And yes, those breakout cables do come with the 1010lt.

    A *REALLY* stupid question

    I'm going to guess you're referring to the Delta 1010lt and it's breakout cables, which are white and red female RCA type inputs and outputs, along with two female XLR type inputs. There's also a digital breakout, which you seem to be describing as well. 2 female RCA types for S/PDIF, 2 MIDI...

    Amplitube good? My first setup.

    Alright, alright. Replaced the word 'tones' with 'sounds.' Happy? :-P

    Vocals are too clear

    First thing would be to go in and edit out every lip smack/breath/whatever that occurs while not singing. :)

    help...

    I would assume that "phones" is referring only to headphones. What other types of jacks are on the tape player? "Aux in" or anything like that?

    help...

    Does your tape player have a built-in microphone, or is there a jack for a microphone? Are you just talking at the tape player or are you talking into a microphone?

    Amplitube good? My first setup.

    Amplitube LE (now Amplitube Live) is the stripped-down version of Amplitube, leaving you without the dedicated stomp box, FX, and EQ sections. That being said, I use my copy of Amplitube LE all the time. Even though it's stripped down, you can still get some very usable sounds out of it. I...

    roommates

    I have a pair of 7506's -- yuck. I wouldn't recommend them. Take a look at a set of AKG 240s, along with the others suggested.

    Moving to Apple

    Agreed. DP is absolutely fantastic when it comes to working with MIDI (editing MIDI events is soooo simple), and ain't too shabby for audio recording and editing, either. I also have a friend who does a lot of synth-based music, and he swears by Logic. I've never used Logic myself but I trust...

    Getting a new computer

    You've got $5,500 to blow on a computer? Wow, I wish I had that kind of money... :D More power to ya. My roommate has a Dual 2.5 G5 running Pro Tools LE w/002R, and the thing runs like a dream. Only 1 gig of RAM, too. Works great (certainly better than my brand new PC with Windows XP and...

    tiger direct.com or cyberpower.com

    Aside from the absurdity of the story itself, there's some pretty nasty stuff being said about TigerDirect in this Slashdot thread: http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/04/28/2214245&tid=123&tid=179&tid=3 Then again, I have an instructor that can't say enough nice things about the...

    has anyone dealt with alienware computers

    I have an Alienware rig back home (P4 2.4Ghz, 512MB RAM) and a brand-new Dell with me here at college (P4 2.8Ghz, 512MB RAM), and the Alienware, for the most part, works better for recording purposes. I can run lots of tracks with effects on my AW, no problem, while my Dell gets bogged down...
