DAW means Digital Audio Workstation. Basically, for a DAW to be called a DAW you have to have some way to get sounds onto it, be able to manipulated it, and be able to move off the DAW to another medium. That is... a computer with recording, editing and/or cd/dvd creating software on it...

Sony Sound Forge 9 for editing, Isotope's Ozone 4 for polishing, and Sony CD Creator 5.1 for CD master creation

If youre upgrading RAM, and going to an SSD, the dual core 2.8 will seem a LOT faster. Save your $300 until you upgrade your motherboard - THEN upgrade your cpu format.

If you changed motherboard along with the CPU, you're gonna have to 'load up all the drivers' anyway, cuz they'll all be different. Get an SSD, at least for your OS and apps. You will not regrete it. You will also not be able to go back to waiting for things to open. I've been using SSD's...

SSD's for operating systems and system files storage will increase the speed of reading those files by a factor of about 10. The software that used to take 11 seconds from a spinning drive to open and settle in for use, now takes 2 seconds. Searching for data does not require a phsyical...

Yes... you need a source that has at least 2 tracks available, like... left/right. We use a cheap Pad PC. we set up the left track to hold the 'click' track. it can be anything that the drummer, or band prefers. Some like a snare sound, some like a cow bell, others prefer the wood clacker...

I had my Midas Venice 320 modified to have the direct outs be post-gain, post insert, pre-fader, pre-EQ - they were originally post fader. Once I have my gain structure for the live mix, I connect the direct outs to an Alesis HD24. The faders on the mixing board only affect the live mix, not...

George... agp, eh? thats on old, old system. new egg is your friend, so is google: Newegg.com - Computer Hardware, Video Cards & Video Devices, Desktop Graphics / Video Cards, AGP 4X/8X

Asus makes excellent MB's. I've used them for years and never had a failure. Regarding overclocking... it's highly, highly overrated. Today's i cores perform 100's of times better than overclocked dual or quad cores of the previous design. In fact, save some money and go with an i-5 core -...

Actually, Les... or Paul... depending on the sound card or onboard sound of your PC, you could simply plug-them in. You'd need to convert the output from your PC to the input of your monitors - those are powered monitors, right? Something like a mini to 1/4" or whatever. However, if you...

I'm not an expert, but it seems everything is pushed to the edge of distortion. The sound is definately 'edgey'. Listen to the cymbals - they sound really brittle. The bass and kick drum are almost all snap, no body. The snare too... it's got pop, but there's nothing behind it. The whole mix...

I dropped it. About 3 feet, onto a hardwood floor, it was in it's plastic case. and now... nothing, no lights, no start when I slide the 'start' switch. I changed the batteries. I tried starting it with the wall plug. nothing. There is nothing loose sounding when shaken(gentley). There is...

right click on 'my computer', highlight 'properties', and click. One of the tabs tells you about the operating system, version and bit, along with your installed RAM. software is generally compatible one version back. That is, 64bit will run 32bit software, but not 16bit. 32bit OS will run...

I've had good luck using AudioPile snakes and cables. He's a real person who will talk to you on the phone. He can custom build some things for you. And his prices are very reasonable. Of course if you want professional grade connections, you should consider Whirlwind. Top of the line...

And really... moving up to 64bit is only advantageous if you run programs that access multiple cores, and over 4gb of RAM. Mostly high-end video editing, and I'm talking professional level Hollywood-pyxar stuff, is the only software that can utilize a 64bit system. You will get no gain in...

You'd need to check if your motherboard is 64bit capable, then check whether a Pentium 4 650 is 64bit capable. google is your friend. If both answers are yes, then you have to find out if all your other hardware is 64bit capable. You could also try the windows app that checks if your system...

If you have the installation apps (usually the setup.exe) for the programs you want to keep, the easiest way to clear your system is to buy a new hard drive(around $180 for a 96gb SSD, or $75 for a 750gb HHD) and reinstall Windows. If you're still using XP, buy Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade...

Gerg.... I assume you have some kind of anti-virus software, yes? Do you also have anti malware software? A virus and malware are two different things. Generally speaking, a virus attacks files, and malware attacks functions (like changing your home page or internet function stealing - like...

How about this one: Newegg i7 combo you could probably knock off $75 downgrading to a i5. Add a video card for about $100, an 64gb SSD(Solid Sate Drive, 10-15 times faster than a platter drive), Win7 64 OEM for round $100, and a sound card - round $100. add a monitor($150) and mouse/keyboard...
