I'm interested in this too, only around the 1G price range, hopefully cheaper than that. These days ram is easily upgradeable to at least 2gigs, and external hard drives for finished tracks come pretty cheap, so I suppose the main thing is to get a speedy powerful CPU. That and getting one with...

Here's a link to a $200 dollar M-audio PCI interface card that looks interesting. Don't know how clean it is or how good the mic pres are... M-Audio Delta 1010 LT PCI Digital Audio System With 10 in/10 out 24-bit, 96kHz audio card with mic preamps, digital I/O, and MIDI I/O. I like that it has...

:) I’d like recommendations for how to best record audio. I’m interested in the $300 PreSonis firebox, but I want ("need" really) to spend less than that. I appreciate helpful suggestions/tips. Another idea is a podcast mic I saw at MF which is run by batteries and can plug into any jack and...

Wow, however obvious! The $300 firewire product is,,, "alot better",,, than the USB one that is almost 1/3 the price. :rolleyes:

Yes, for now I'm happy with 2 mic inputs and it would be nice to also allow line in etc. Aside from the included software programs, how does the hardware stack up to say the firewire one I mentioned? Are there latency issues or simultaneous monitor & record issues? How is the recording quality...

I have a Shure sm58 mic, but I do not have a mixer or PC interface besides my ATI All In Wonder multi-media video card, but that is more of a VCR type interface (Vid,Lft,Rt phono jacks). I have a WinXP machine, plenty of ram and hard drive space, plus USB2 and firewire. I’m shooting video’s of...

Flash Recorders Are Cool! I just picked up a cool item from iriver. It's the T30 1gb flash MP3 player/recorder and it rocks. It's got USB 2.0, headphones and line in for recording from any source, no PC needed. If using a microphone, evidently you need one that is self powered or something that...

I have an old Presario laptop, currently AMD K6 380mhz, that I want too try to run some (same age) studio recording programs on it. Via the laptops ZIF socket, I'm installing an AMD K6 II+ 570 (fastest in class, and lower voltage rating), it'll run at about 670mhz after the CPU upgrade and...

While I'm saving up for my next DAW, I'm wondering about the viability of the Mac Mini (G4, a faster one, $600-$700) and it's supplied Garage Band software. Or maybe an IMac w/faster processor. I'm looking for an affordable porable rig. I have only used IBM clones in the past... Optionally, I'm...

Sounds great Yareek! I'm glad to hear that high dollar HD subsystems are not required. Thanks much.

What is raid "JBOD"? What is raid "5"?

Right, Besides raw processing power, I suspect that the HD writing process is a bottleneck of the DAW system. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume that if you are recording 1 track, then you have one processing/memory thread and one file being wrote to the HD. Double all that for 2...

SHUTTLE Actually, my latest lean is towards MICRO ATX. These are MB's with 3 open PCI and an AGP slot. But yes, a Shuttle XPC is also an option, but they tend to be a bit higher priced than their MICRO ATX brethren. I need more economy than I do smaller size... And that's what is so attractive...

Where do you go to find out about a rock solid computer/motherboard? I want - Small form factor, i.e. slim, cube, or notebook PC - Serial ATA II and Raid (something?) for really fast HD access - Upgradable CPU and RAM - Fairly decent everything else But most of all, I want it to be reliable...

estring Good deal for you! I checked it out, nothing for me in that price range. Great grab!

I'm looking for an inexpensive, but not ineffective, PC recording editing rig. Please don't just suggest something. Try to explain "why" you appreciate whatever you suggested. PC - I don't want to spend more than $600. - I prefer WinXP (and own a copy of it) but would consider an Apple. - I...

I wonder if you can use more than one USB mic at the same time? But be able to set each mic to a seperate track instead of just one general feed from both mic's.

Kitchenman Have you tried switching your mics around? Maybe your other mic which goes into some mic input in the computer does have pass thru. BTW, if "pass thru" is what enables one to listen to your mic's performance, but you don't want that, but at the same time you do want to listen to your...
