Happens all the time. We all have a million songs floating around in our subconscious all the time so a lot of the stuff we "create" is bound to have some relation to songs we've heard before. I'd say 1 out of 3 song ideas I have end up sounding a lot like songs i've listened to a million...

For me, I find it's sometimes a lot harder to write "top-down" than "bottom-up," meaning that if I have a good melody or guitar riff, I find it harder to flesh out the rest of the song and incorporate drums/bass/other instruments. If I'm having a creative block, sometimes I'll work from the...

I see, I was confusing the mic in with the line in on the sound blaster method. Thanks. And by stuttering I mean I get a decent signal when I record it but there's a lot of popping along with it. I guess 'popping' would be a better term for it.

Thanks, c7sus, I should know better than to listen to GC guys for technical advice by now, but oh well. Question though, seems like there are a lot of people who record direct-in to their, say, SB Live with a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter without problems (besides the direct dry signal obviously...

So I recorded this song and though it sounds okay I want to record a second track of guitars direct-in and see if I can use some amp sims to fill out the mic'd guitar track, as it's admittedly a little thin-sounding. I run a delta 1010lt, which has RCA ins/outs, XLR, and S/PDIF. I went down to...

I just downloaded and installed the new drivers for my 1010lt ... restarted and now I'm gettin Found New Hardware notices and whatnot, asking me to reinstall the software and all, blah ... I don't have time to do it right now but I'll let ya know how it goes. EDIT: Looks like I just had to let...

Hey, it always worked for Uncle Jesse on Full House

Personally, I use Nero to rip from CD to the hard drive (wav format), then use Audio Catalyst to convert to mp3. It's a pain in the ass, but hey, it's free. :) As far as media players go, can't go wrong with winamp....

I've taken a few MIDI/Digital audio courses at my local community college, and the teaching has been valuble, especially considering the relatively low costs associated with CC classes. However, when you're taking a class like that at a CC, you usually have a bunch of people who are there for...

I also use a 1010lt and though I'm only recording 1 track at a time right now, I think having so many inputs will keep me from buying a mixer for awhile, and instead focusing on buying other equipment. As far as your situation goes, I'm just thinking it may be easier for you to set everything...

Do you need one? No. WIll it make life easier for you? Probably. I run Sonar just fine without an external mixer (the software has a mixer built in, after all), one-track-at-a-time style. If you don't have an audio interface with a lot of inputs, it may be wise to invest in an external...

Just run an extension cord from the living room, that should take care of it. ;)

Well, AMD's new Athlon FX is a 64-bit proc, and Intel's is coming soon(ish), though we'll have to wait awhile for Windows and other applications to natively support 64-bit operation. As I said, you can build a 'comparable' system for a lot less. Macs are generally still ahead when it comes to...

Unless you have extra cash to blow, I'd also suggest building your own PC. As has been said, you can get a comparable amount of power as a high-end Mac for a whole lot less. Just make sure you buy an assload of RAM and a big, fast hard drive. You can use the extra money you'll save for some...

Christian music, eh? Well hell, all you gotta do then is take real songs and change words like "baby" to "Jesus," you can do that for way under $1000! /cartman Just kidding... ;)

I also own a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe and god DAMN the thing is loud, I wouldn't recommend it for apartment living (I'm going to have to leave mine behind when I go off to school :(). Playing straight through the amp, anything over 3 or 4 will about blow your head off, and anything over about 1...

I'm no English teacher, but ... translated for clarity's sake.

Most newer games use actual audio (wavs) for background music these days, MIDI was SO 1990's ;) But as far as WC3 and FFXI go, I dunno.

Keep in mind that if you mix with all your levels low, then you're just going to have to do that much more to bring the volume up to a "professional" level. Most professional works are mastered REALLY LOUD, so if you put your low-leveled track next to a professional mix, there's gonna be a huge...

I own the RPx400, basically a bigger brother of the RP50, and I would recommend against it for most effects modeling, most of it's effects sound REALLY digital and just blah to me. However, if you're just gonna use it for delay and stuff, that'll work, and it'll be nice for you to be able to...
