    Firewire Interface and ExpressCard Firewire...

    I've created some topics on what USB interface to go with but changed my mind. I want to go with some high quality firewire. I use a laptop and just found the express port which I never knew existed (I ripped apart my laptop to find that a plastic insert was in it). So the plan is to plug this...

    5 String Bass?

    Ah well what can I say... :) I suppose I'll go with the fiver, otherwise I'll regret not having it in the future and if i don't want the fifth string, I'll take it off or something.

    5 String Bass?

    I have checked out some DI's and this is what I came to: http://www.guitarcenter.com/Tech-21-SansAmp-Bass-Driver-DI-100458615-i1145273.gc#read-reviews And that way I won't need a bass amp, but perhaps in the future I'll get one when I feel like I want to shake the drywall off. For a 5 string...

    My Biggest Battle

    I'll be screwing around recording some tracks and come out with a nice sounding song. Then I'll mix but when I go to listen to it, it's to quiet. I record direct into a Lexicon Alpha USB driver and it's a piece of junk. If I turn up the line in volume, I get some static and distortion. I can't...

    5 String Bass?

    I've played a 7 and thought it was pretty cool, but owning one and using it I don't see practical. I'm a rock and metal guy, who knows, maybe one day I'll be playing some deathcore stoner doom metal or something crazy.

    5 String Bass?

    Wow has this gotten sorta off topic! My opinion hasn't changed regarding 5 string or 4 string. There hasn't been to much help, just an interesting read so far. BTW, I don't know if I'd get an amp but just record direct and save my money.

    5 String Bass?

    Hmm, idk. A fretless looks a little hard.

    5 String Bass?

    I've been looking into some bass guitars and found this: http://www.guitarcenter.com/Schecter-Guitar-Research-Stiletto-Extreme-4-Bass-528006-i1455911.gc#read-reviews I like it, and it seems to be a pretty decent guitar. I play electric and never have I played a bass so I don't want to get to...

    Direct Recording Audio Interface

    Alright. I'll look around for some deals. Not sure what I should do now, I've been wanting to get a bass guitar and a DI (http://www.guitarcenter.com/Tech-21-SansAmp-Bass-Driver-DI-100458615-i1145273.gc#read-reviews) but now I want this Fasttrack pro. Just a question, do I need a DI for...

    Direct Recording Audio Interface

    Sorry for the late reply... So the difference between my current setup (Lexicon Alpha) and the Fasttrack pro is just higher quality sound? If so, then I'll be ordering one soon. And is the difference between the fasttrack and the fasttrack pro higher quality also? Just not entirely sure if it...

    Direct Recording Audio Interface

    It was the Tascam US 122 or 144 that I was looking at originally. But I don't think it has RCA outs for my monitors so thats sorta a problem. The M-Audio fast track looks nice but how much of an upgrade would that be?

    Direct Recording Audio Interface

    Hey! So it's been a long time since I've gone on these forums. I've been really getting into recording lately so I want to upgrade my audio interface. I need to go with USB since I'm using a laptop that doesn't have a firewire or soundcard capable of recording. Currently I have a lexicon...

    The ART Cleanbox 2-Way Stereo Converter

    Hey, I have this hum and I want to take care of it. I have my amp going into the a lexicon alpha ASIO interface by a RCA to XLR Cable coming from the back of my Line 6 Spider Jam Amp. I'm getting this annoying buzz that I can't seem to stop. I tested all kinds of things and it comes down to...

    New Laptop, New Recording Method

    I got a USB Lexicon Alpha ASIO thing that does what I need it to do. The Omega is good also, that is if your looking for a USB Interface.

    Buzz - Hum Problem (#2)

    Hey, This is my second thread on a buzzing issue. I'm recording direct from my amp to a Lexicon ASIO Driver (USB). I was using the headphone out jack to record but today I got a RCA to XLR cable to go from the back of my amp to the ASIO Driver. I was thinking this would fix the buzz problem but...

    Grounding Issue!

    Ok I think I got it: http://www.zzounds.com/a--2676837/item--MONMDJCR --- Amp to DI Box http://www.zzounds.com/a--2676837/item--BEHDI100 --- DI Box http://www.zzounds.com/a--2676837/item--WHRMC20 --- XLR Cable And then all that goes into my ASIO Interface.

    Grounding Issue!

    Ok. I'll do it that way. My amp has an output like that in the back. How much should all the cable's cost? Well, I'll check it out and post what I think I need. (It's 100% possible that I choose the wrong stuff).
