"I was born a poor black child..." - Steve Martin Thanks for your support. In truth, I'm terribly excited that I can record the stuff in my head: it's been a 24 year wait, and boy are my arms tired... uh, sorry wrong joke... Stinking of curry, Denis

Thanks for the idea, I did go back and make sure my sample rate is 44100 Hz at 16 bit. Denis

I'm running a cheesy mic into a SBLive! drive, recording acoustic guitar. Every time a note is played, there's a staticy scratchy noise that gets recorded too. It only occurs on playback. I've tried moving the mic around the room, sitting at different positions relative to the mic, turning...

Can you explain?

Blue Bear: "Stereo speakers tend to have been sweetened by design, studio monitors tend not to be (as in, hyping the inherent speaker's tonal characteristics is not included as part of the design). " You've answered my question. I was thinking inside the cabinet, so to speak. "Compensation...

Ok, but... When auditioning speakers for a stereo system, my test is how well acoustic instruments sound i.e. do they sound real? So, this means that the speakers do NOT have "flat" response? I was led to believe that good stgereo speakers have flat response, and compensations should be done...

Thanks to all who answered my questions. It seems that we have a majority vote. Music store staff agree. Since my first post, I ran across one of those cheesy $0.18 Creative mics that came with my sound card. I was shocked to find that it sounded better than my stick-um pickup by an order of...

Recording my classical guitar (nylon strings) has been driving me crazy. I've been using a DiMarzio contact pickup direct into a line input on my PC with dismal result. Eventually it dawned on me that I need a pre-amp to boost the signal at the very least. I considered, for about 4 minutes...

Thanks for the info. I was looking for Cubasis VST Project Pack. I'd seen it somewhere for $99, which is great for a starter recording software with an audio card. Unfortunately for me, even if I can find it at that price again, Steinberg has a disclaimer for the card if one has a PC with a...

I recently went up and down through Steinberg's site looking for info on Cubase Project Pack and found nothing other than a scant description. Is there any place I can go to get more info and perhaps compare to other products?

I know, I know... "contact pickups suck etc etc etc" Well, I'm fairly new to this game, and also fairly broke, so I have to go with what I've got. What I've got is a DiMarzio contact pickup that sticks on to the body of the instrument connected to a barely-shielded cable of about 8 feet in...
