In theory there is no problem. However, neither USB nor Firewire will support the throughput that a modern IDE bus will. Therefore, you might run into issues as the track count rises and you are recording additional tracks.

1. Play softer 2. Move the computer farther away from your bass amp

I really do give up. The incomprehension is staggering.

I don't see that you listed the price for the Oktava. For a used 319, you shouldn't pay more than $75. And you won't get stereo with one microphone.

I couldn't have said it better.

I'm familiar with precision and loss thereof, having programmed in C for 18 years. However, a double-precision floating-point type occupies 64 bits - two words in a 32-bit machine - AND HAS DONE SO FOR YEARS, since the advent of 32-bit-word machines. Unless the Cakewalk software was using the...

What you can tell me "for a fact" is so subjective I really don't know how to respond. I have a bachelor of science degree in computer information systems, but I guess facts don't mean much in this topic... so I'll give up.

I believe the problems you experienced are caused not so much by how you were reading and writing but by the limitations of USB. USB can be very convenient but it is not built for speed. Firewire may be better, but you're still going to get better performance from internal drives.

I would submit that this is advertising fluff. It really doesn't stand up to technical scrutiny.

There's obviously some confusion here! Every computer has its own word length, which is dictated by its physical architecture. In general, the length of the computer's "word" dictates a) how big an integer can be, b) how much memory can be addressed, and c) how big a file can be. I started...

My DY-69 is may favorite guitar, and I have a Martin D28 and a Taylor 615. I think Alvarez Yairi has made so many models that it's difficult to find a whole bunch of any one. I've had two other Yairis and they were nice but not in the same league. Goes to show that, when something is made by...

You're not talking about sensitivity so much as output. I don't think you're going to find a battery-powered condenser mic with much higher output than the C1000S. I'll say you should probably be looking for a preamp, which you could buy within your budget.

Well, are you asking about the C1000 or the D1000? Big difference.

Sorry to say that my VTB-1 also has a noise issue when I try to use it with some of my ribbons. I can get a lot more clean gain from the integrated preamps in my Aardvark Q10.

You haven't mentioned any instruments, so I will assume there are none; and, you haven't described what equipment is available to you. If the room is quiet and sounds nice, my first choice would be to use a Blumlein configuration, with your ears telling you at what distance to place the pair.

Dude, you need the SM57. Industry standard.

The Beyerdynamic M88 and Sennheiser MD421 are great on kick AND vocals, as are the more usual suspects listed above.

Instrument preamps? Bluegrass is acoustic music. I'd use the Dani Pace method for live and the Track Rat method (stereo pair) for studio. I disagree with Red Dog Studio's suggestion to put a mic in front of the bass. The upright bass will come through just fine without having a mic in front...

Yeah. You are in effect chaining two preamps.

While it's not bad advice, the reason given here is bad science. Bass notes DO have longer wavelengths, but they are "fully manifested" as soon as they leave the source.
