Do I really need all that RAM to record about two channels at a time and mix about a half dozen? I'm sure if I spent $3000 instead of $1100 on this set up I could get better equipment. Hell, if I spent $10,000 it would be awesome. But I venture to say that for my purposes very few people will...

never mind! motu says it doesn't matter; they both work and either way you have to plug it in.

I was about to order this from sweetwater and they called and pointed out that this has 4-pin receptacles and therefore does not transmit power (so i would have to plug in my ultralite to use it). Should I be getting a 6-pin instead?

i think the quality is good. i like that you are getting a little room; it works. you definitely should play around with the eq. the high helf does not make sense to me, nor does the huge boost at 200. just for example, try no shelf (if anything i would consider a boost at 16k), a small...

sounds good! enjoy your life of tuning. ;)

In order to get your wife to go to bed earlier, have sex with her. This will help her sleep, and will also relax you for the recording process. One thing I would try for a guitar like that is to record with a single mic, a foot or two away, perhaps pointed at the bottom of the sound hole. (It...

Okay, I figured it out; this will be the card I need, the "400" rather than the "800" http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/FWCardCardbus/ h2h, is it worth it to you to sell me just the motu unit? you can pm me... next question is what software to use. I used to use N-track; really don't...

An interesting way to approach making "art". Could you point us to examples of songs you (or others) have written using such a process?

So the SIIG (and others like it) is a firewire adapter card? So the ultralite would be plugged into such a device which is plugged into the express card slot in the notebook (instead of the shitty firewire port)? Are we talking about this...

um, could you explain this to me in language a 9-year-old can understand? I thought pipe was saying two things, first, "With the RME FF800 it works fine with the dreaded onboard fw/usb combo port" (and i'd need to turn the wifi off when I use it). What is an RME FF800, how does it make the...

So this stuff (from the vostro 1510 specs) is the problem? Chipset With integrated graphics: Intel® 965GM Express chipset With discrete graphics: Intel® 965PM Express chipset Graphics Intel Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator X31006 256MB NVIDIA® GeForceTM 8400M GS (64 bit)...

Thanks my man. I'm not sure I'm going to go ahead and do this yet, but I was looking at a Dell Vostro 1510 laptop; they have a great deal going that will give me, I think, everything I need (and without a bunch of software I don't need) for about $600 (it does have a firewire port). I checked...

Thanks, very helpful. What about my soundcard; should I get my laptop configured with any particular soundcard?

It's been several years and I need to update what little I know. What is the state of the homerec art? I plan to purchase a new laptop for use in recording at home and portably. I'd like to be able to record up to four tracks at once (mostly using mics). Mostly acoustic but sometimes...

you can wring your hands instead.

It's true. If you want to be a rock and roll star you have to be willing to do anything for the sake of your art. It takes a lot of sacrifice.

Yes to both. Just work with it and you might end up with a good song. If not, no loss.

If you can look cool holding it up high, then you are really cool. I don't think many people make fun of BB King, for example. I agree that relaxing your hand and wrist is very important. And don't play for eight hours without stopping for awhile in the middle to take a break. Also, you...

Why not have the vocalist swallow a little condensor mic like the ones they put inside acoustic quitars with blended systems. (Or, depending on the singer, place it in some other orifice.)
