I won't even touch the Kazaa topic. As far as the computer goes, Without actual model numbers, nobody here will be able to help you. There are specific issues with specific models of everything. A little more info and you'll get more useful responses.

Can someone suggest a pair of headphones that posseses the following? 1. comfortable 2. inexpesive (sub $50) 3. Durable (It would be nice to be able to fix them if they broke i.e. available replacement parts) 4. compact (folding would be nice) The purpose of these would be mainly listening...

I guess that answers my question. I think I'll buy it anyway. There's something to be said for just having 'something else' when what you're using isn't working... Chances are, it'll wind up hanging on the wall pretending to be some vintage, super-expensive, esoteric mic. I'm not sure...

Is this a ribbon mic? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3027956069&category=4671

That's the noise floor of your sound card. This is where more money equals better audio performance. With a few exceptions, this also applies to analog gear as well. Unless there is a hum or buzz in the signal coming from some nearby piece of equipment, there isn't much you can do.

In the past, Apples have been regarded as having better performance with regards to audio and video. This is still true if you consider the fact that even the fastest Macs processor speeds are much less than their PC counterparts, while their apparent speed is very close. This in itself tells...

You've got it right. Most tracks are mono tracks. Even if you mic something in stereo, it's just 2 mono tracks. You can pan them wherever you want. Beware of phase issues however. This can happen when using more than 1 microphone to record 1 source (instrument). If the distances aren't...

Those damn software people...releasing software without help files....those bastards.

Is this any good? http://webservices.cnet.com/bandwidth/results.asp?type=cable&kbps=2166.8&ISP=&AreaCode=631

The POD and it's bretherin (J-Station, Behringer Vamp, etc..) Are wonderful and amazing tools. They give you all of the classic amp/cabinet combinations for pennies compared to the real thing. They can and are used for recording every day. At some point though, you want just a little more...

Try this thread first. https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?threadid=84188 There's a zillion possible ways to hook these things up. Although the setup described in the link above will only allow recording 2 tracks at a time, it should be a good starting point. From there you can...

Simply put, computer monitor real estate is worth more than ad time during the superbowl. You need only to use a mutimonitor system for a few minutes to understand how much faster and easier it is to work with. Taking it a step further, even Windows 98 will support up to 4 monitors without any...

Isn't it a bit odd to try so hard to replicate a studio monitor system with home stereo equipment. I understand your theory, but you have to realize that all you are going to wind up with is an OK mid field monitor system. If you really want to reproduce the sound that most people will get on...

Originally posted by Brochaos Can any suggest some EQ settings that will make my Martin sound just as good recorded as it does live? You can EQ till the cows come home, you won't get the live sound if it's not live. This is the life long dream of recording engineers the world over. They...

The stocking cap thing sounds like a good idea. In this case however, headphone bleed wasn't the problem, it was a signal routing issue.

AMD specifies that their processors can withstand temperatures up to 90 C. The problem is that the motherboard can't alway stand these temperatures. Unles you have parts on hand to test with, you're basically shooting in the dark. It seems to me that the fan is OK, but the motherboard is...

I don't think it has anything to do with the soundcard. Let me see if I can reproduce your problem and I'll let you know.

Even when the specs on the wall wart read the same, they are not always the same. To prove how inaccurate those numbers can be, test one with a voltmeter. If it's supposed to be 9 volts, I can almost guarantee that the voltmeter will read 13 or 14 volts. It's called 'no-load' voltage. If the...

Re: Re: How do I find matched pairs? Great thread. I would have never found that if you hadn't posted the link. Thanks Harvey

Install the soundblaster, then boot. let windows recognize the hardware and do its little install routine. Then shut it down. Install the Delta and boot again. Go through the install process again and reboot if prompted. Boot again (my feet are starting to hurt). Go into device manager...
