i had the same worries about the product in your quote, so i found a review on it (above link). i dont know anything about the guy giving the review, but he seems credible. he discusses his previous...
if ur gonna build more, i suggest that link i posted above. the guy did a nice job and shows the progress well. the only thing i would change about his creation is that he focused solely on absorption (it was for his home theatre). if/when i create my own, i would take a page out of jeff...
i noticed people using a lot of different objects as a trap/reflector/absorber stand-in. i thought it would be cool to share what u use as a substitute. ive read here that some people use egg crate type material while others are saying its bad. somebody said they were going to try to use...
prove it. not doubting u...just curious. is there a site where i can listen to ur stuff? i noticed most people here put a link to their music in their signatures.
i was just reading reviews on the us-1641 and received an idea. what if i buy a separate USB card and have it solely dedicated to the interface? essentially, its supposed to be faster than firewire (400 anyway), so this could solve my dilemma, right?
good idea, buying locally. i had a friend buy the us-144. he bought it direct and when he had problems with it, it took them 6 months to fix it and send it back. maybe if it was purchased at a local store, i might get a better turn around time *shrugs*
i havent read the word "closeout"...
i dont want to make a "whats better" thread...thats already been done.

but, when i was reading this thread, it made me hesitate on a decision i made recently. i was planning on a USB tascam device that has eight...
i saw on the front of a tascam interface two buttons that supplied phantom power. the first button was for channels 1-4, the second 5-8. what if only a few mics require phantom power? is turning phantom on for the rest going to hurt the ones that dont need it/make noise/make them...
well put guys. you have definitely helped with my decision. so, ill probably end up getting that 1641 that comes with cubase LE4. ill get another 2G stick of RAM and a TB hard drive. then all ill need is some new mics, and ill be good for a while...im hoping
well, do any of you know how similar Cubase is to PT? because, im thinking the right choice for me, right now, is to just get that Tascam us-1641 that comes with cubase. its only $400, and if i decide that recording will become a more serious hobby in the future, then i can make the expensive...
see, im not sure how much more it offers. im going by what i hear, and what i hear is that PT is the standard. if its the standard, then im sure i will have better luck getting support and finding reading material/classes. is that a safe assumption?
