I have a Q10 and generally dig it. You got a killer deal on it. :) You're running an AMD CPU? I remember reading somewhere, possibly at the Aardvark website, that they highly recommend an Intel chipset on your motherboard. In fact, an Intel chipset might be a requirement. I don't recall if it...

I'm not sure about the control surface you mentioned, but I just picked up the Behringer BCF2000. I mainly got it for use with ProTools LE, but I also got it for use with Vegas. Just last night I was playing with the configuration and it was pretty straightforward. The online Help in Vegas was...

Sorry, the first post was "post haste". :) I should have painted a better picture of my setup: I'm using an MBox with the ProTools LE, and the BCF2000 is connected to it's own USB port (not a USB hub, like the Oxygen 8 is). I called Behringer tech support and they were very friendly, but had no...

Hey there, I just bought the Behringer BCF2000 control surface. I read online that it works with ProTools LE if you run it in Baby HUI mode (detailed in the readme of the latest firmware). Heck if I can get it to work though. I can see the device in the midi setup in PT, but not under Setup...

Just got back from Woodwind & Brasswind (only an hour away). I took a chance and picked up the Alesis M1 Active Mk2 monitors. I've been listening to a few commercial CD's and home mixes...dude! I'm only a couple of hours into them, but I am definitely not disappointed. And given my current...

Hi there, In looking for monitors, I've noticed that many of them seem to take an SPDIF digital input. As it happens, my soundcard has this kind of output (Audiophile 2496). Is there an advantage to feeding monitors with a digitial signal, or should I take the normal signal path...out of my...

Hey, I'm looking for some too! My budget is a bit less though. I'm considering: Event 20/20 V2 Passive Monitor ($149 each) Roland DS30A Digital Reference Monitor ($195 each) Alesis Monitor One Mk2 (Pair) ($199 pair) Event TR5 Powered (Pair) ($299 pair) Right now, for the price and the fact...

Here's an update: I got an email from someone else at RIAA today, apparently a higher up person, who said they are changing things to take into consideration small labels and indie artists that want to use ISRC codes for the sake of getting their tunes on the online music services. I will be...

Let me preface this by saying I am not a fan of RIAA. Not in the least bit. I'm just on a quest to learn what I need to do before sending stuff out for mass reproduction. The cdbaby link in my previous post really got me thinking. So I wrote to RIAA, and here is basically what they said. I post...

I was playing with the CD burning ability of Vegas 3.0 tonight (gonna upgrade to 4 very soon), when I came across the ability to add the ISRC code to each track of a DAO burn. One thing led to another, and I ended up at their site: http://www.ifpi.org/isrc/ RIAA is the "agency" for ISRC in the...

Thanks a ton, Vectron! I will check this out! Rock on!

The answer to "why" is that I already have an SR16 and I'm cheap. :) I was hoping to not need a drum module if I could connect an e-drum kit to my SR16 somehow. In other words, I'm trying to spend as little as possible. Quality is not my main focus, as all I need to do with a drum set is...

As will be obvious by the end of this post, possibly sooner, I know diddly about electronic drums. I need to get a drumset for practice and limited recording. I currently have an Alesis SR16 in my recording setup. As I understand it, one must have not only the electronic drums, but also a drum...

Hi there, I wasn't sure of the speed of my disk, so I downloaded a freebie util to tell me. It appears to be a 5400 RPM hard disk. Until now, I've never enountered an app that didn't work alright with a 5400 RPM drive, even if the documented req's specify 7200 RPM. My setup: Vegas Video...

Excellent! Thanks for the link! That one is definitely getting printed and forwarded to a couple of more people I know that need this answered. Thanks again!

Are the M Audio SP 5B Studiophile Powered Monitors any good? For amplified speakers, the price seems pretty good (right around $300).

Hi folks, I am close to buying better monitors for studio, but I have a question about placement. My current monitors are basically bookend speakers that I mounted to the wall in the corner. My computer monitor is right between them. I put them on the wall at the best height for my ears to get...

MacTwang, sounds like you got a good deal. I've noticed too that Sonic Foundry has pretty good upgrade options. For instance, you can buy Video Factory for like $60, then upgrade to Vegas for $199. That's a real savings over the normal full price for Vegas. I'm not advertising for them, but my...

Wow, that's pretty wild. In a world of corporate acquisitions and takeovers, I wonder if some other company is waiting to snatch them up. Better yet, maybe they'll open source a product or two and I can start using Linux for my recording...

Thanks for the loops, dude!
