    Best mobo for AMD XP?

    I'll have to chime in for an nvidia chipset once again...I've been using the Asus A7N266-C (nforce 415-D chipset) with an XP1700+ for almost a month and I still haven't had to reboot a single time. The pc is used both as a server for sharing my internet connection and as a DAW with a Delta 66...

    Gordon Raphael "the Strokes" 's producer in SOS

    Not really...They had the backing of RCA when they recorded, but they turned down Gil Norton (who obviously would have made it sound like a major label album) and stuck with a then unknown producer by the name of Gordon Raphael who co-owned a basement studio. It was NOT recorded in one of NY or...

    Attention Athlon motherboard shoppers/owners

    Great press??? Where?? I try to get reviews from real users on BBS's rather then magazines paid by advertising money.... On BBS's the ECS board using the sis 735 chipset (that's the one you have, isn't it?) has been reported as a mobo with a lot of issues...Which is why I went for an nforce...

    Gordon Raphael "the Strokes" 's producer in SOS

    For those of you who know the band "the Strokes", there's a good article in April's "Sound on Sound" issue. It explains how they recorded the album "Is this it?". Interesting read, as the album sounds very different from the average radio-friendly commercial record, and the whole album was...

    Delta 1010 problem

    I have a Delta 66 which works flawlessly with an XP1700+ on a Asus A7N266-C motherboard (nforce chipset). If you change your motherboard for a non-Via one, you should be fine. Some PIV mobos are 'buggy' as well, it all comes down to doing some research before you buy...

    A little mic to mic test: Neuman TLM103 and SP-C1

    Nah that's not the way to do it.... Start controversy...Antagonize, ie: "My xxx mic beats the hell out of your yyy mic, so shut it" You'll learn... "What makes a good man go neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?" - Zapp Brannigan...

    aaahhhh Genelec 1030A for 990 EUR (860 USD))

    Did he get his monitors??? Did he?? Well, I went back to the store today, to have a closer look at them and make up my mind. I didn't get to listen to them (this is more or less a music pawn shop, they don't have any equipment hooked up), but I've heard 1030's before. Anyway, I checked them...

    aaahhhh Genelec 1030A for 990 EUR (860 USD))

    That's the price for a used pair that I saw in a second hand music store in Paris this afternoon. I was looking for a pair of monitors and was going to go for a pair of Tannoy Reveal actives (750 eur/650 usd new)... But now this...Damn, I've been thinking all afternoon about this....It's a...

    Attention Athlon motherboard shoppers/owners

    As elevate said, you don't have to reformat the whole drive, but for stability's sake, I would at least reinstall the OS. If your OS and data are on different partitions, just format the OS partition and reinstall. If they are on the same partition, backup ALL your important data (which you...

    Inter-M monitor amps : better than samson servos?

    I'm looking into an amp for my soon to come monitors (probably Tannoys, still not sure yet). Any of you familiar with the Inter-M R-series (R150, R300 and R500) ?? Do you know how they compare to the Samson servo series??

    can i mox down to a cd-r recorder?

    Yes you can both mix and mox down to a cd-r recorder, but you have to do it in software first. What multitrack software are you using (Cubase, Cakewalk, Sonar, N-Tracks...)? Or is it a standalone cd-r recorder you're using?? Give some info on your setup

    Good information source for computer questions

    I think the best way to learn about computers is to do the same as many people here do to learn about recording : find a BBS that seems friendly and informative (and deals with the subject you're interested in!)

    System Overload

    What speed is your processor??? If it's one of the faster PII's (ie 400-450Mhz) you might be okay by adding a little ram (add at least 128Mb). Otherwise I think your system is just not powerful enough to playback the Logic Demo song : how many tracks are there?

    Which mic sounds the best?

    "Warmness" is a subjective quality. There's no way you can rate "warmness" : it depends on how and on whom the mic is being used, as well as who's listening... Signal to noise ratio isn't something you should be concerned with when choosing a mic since all the ones you mentionned have very low...

    Good information source for computer questions

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh nooooooooooooo!! Frankly that site used to be very good, but has declined over the years....I mean c'mon, just read the titles of the latest articles: "IDE-RAID with notebook drives : quick and quiet" : that's got to be one of the dumbest ideas I've ever seen on the web...

    Check this please.....

    You seem to be forgetting the most important part of the pc, the part that will allow all these pieces of hardware to work together.... *drumroll* .... the motherboard! A good choice of motherboard is often the difference between a stable and an unstable system...do some research, plenty has...
