    First audio interface of my life! need help to choose

    My favorite interface is the Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6. Excellent pre-amps and converters, 2 line ins in addition to the two preamps so I can use whatever hardware pre-amps I want to, 4 TRS outputs. In three years I've never had a single issue with it. I hope NI makes a bigger...

    kidkage's PC build thread (read: kidkage's request for PC build help thread)

    Well, guys, /thread. I gave in to a great deal on a gaming PC (under $1000) that seems to be supercharged for audio work. An Asus ROG G20. i7 4790, 8GB RAM, 1TB 7200rpm/8GB SSD system drive, Nvidia GTX 760 graphics card, Windows 8.1. I'm going to be running 2 USB 3.0 drives with it. (A 7200rpm...

    let me see your studio!

    I love it! I really like seeing bare-bones work areas. Even if it's just a kitchen table with a laptop and headphones. For some reason, I'm always super inspired by them. Maybe because I can relate to them. Probably why I prefer home and project studios to pro studios.

    let me see your studio!

    Lol I've got the tables too! 4 of the 40 something inch ones, and one of the 50 something inch ones. I had to retire the 50 something inch one because my monitors have made it permanently buckle in the middle. So now I'm back to using a 46" with my new monitor stands :D

    what should I get??

    Another vote for Equator! I've got a few monitors (you know how some people are "microphone guys" or "outboard people"? I've got this obsessive fascination with monitors...) including some KRK G2 Rokit 6s that were my first monitors, the Equators, and some pairs of Focal monitors as well. The...

    Guitar, MIDI keyboard, studio monitors, bass amp, acoustic treatment - FOR SALE

    Well, the combination of realizing I'm a gear hoarder and realizing the paychecks aren't coming in like they used to has brought me to the point of trying to sell of some gear. I thought I'd ask here before I have to resort to eBay. Ibanez AF75 w/ stand - $320 Novation Launchkey 61 w/ cable -...

    Monitors make that big of a difference

    Ok. I don't think I have it in me to type out my earlier response again. Fortunately it was basically just saying what Jay and Dave said: Rexinator missed the point of monitors, and no monitors are actually flat. And since I'm frustrated at my original post disappearing I'll just cut to the...

    I just spent an hour typing out a response. Only to be signed out and have nothing saved in the auto saved content. I hate you right now homerecording.com

    Best preamp under $1000

    I don't know that I've ever read/heard a bad thing about the Grace Design m101.

    Monitors make that big of a difference

    The Equator D5s are my favorite in that range. $400 for the pair including shipping (if you're in the U.S.) I think they're the best in the price range up to $700. The only reason I didn't say "they are the best" is because I'm hesitant to believe definitive sweeping judgments about something...

    Monitors make that big of a difference

    They absolutely do! For better and worse. Better - An accurate representation of music youre listening to and creating. Worse - It'll drive you crazy to listen to music on bad sounding systems after you hear a good sounding one lol I'll never forget how it seemed like the world went from...

    Blade Guitars?

    Yikes. Don't you hate when you find out about some incredible obscure guitar maker and think "wow! a great guitar I can (probably) afford!" and then google it and find out it's even pricier than Gibsons lol. The worst was when I found out about these recently: Blackmachine makes a dozen or so...

    Also, thanks for reminding me of Thunderbolt Jojo Baffman! I completely forgot that it's possible to have that on Windows machines now. I'd definitely like that.

    Well, I had to cancel that $400 SSD I bought. The guy said he wouldn't be able to ship it out until December... wtf?! It was a blessing in disguise though. I decided that I'll be able to get away with using my Glyph Portagig that has Komplete 9 on it as my recording drive as well. Sure, it's the...

    Software Instruments Sound Bad in Mono

    Ah, the classic stereo-to-mono problem(s) we all experience at some point - our sounds disappearing! Basically - you're experiencing phase issues. For whatever reason, stereo sounds pertaining to you virtual instruments has caused them to kind of... cancel each other out. ...I'm not sure if...

    kidkage's PC build thread (read: kidkage's request for PC build help thread)

    Just because I feel like since there are so many components that an issue could unintentionally be overlooked. For instance I bought an awesome Dell E6410 laptop on ebay earlier this year. All of the basic things are great - cosmetics, cpu, storage, etc. But when I went to replace the optical...
