Depends on what you're trying to do. Because I was on a tight budget, and I'm doing most of the instruments in the recording myself, the J-Station seemed the way to go. I liked the idea of having most the amp models that the POD has, plus the 3 bass amp models, and the 2 acoustic amp models...

I use a gadgetlabs soundcard, n-track studio, and some guitars and mics. But I really want to put some realistic-sounding piano tracks on some of my songs. I don't have a keyboard, or even a sound module, and I don't want to spend a ton (maybe 200 - 300 bucks). If you can steer me in the...

While we're on the subject of buzzes. I had the weirdest thing happen to me this week. I pulled out my old Alvarez classical guitar, and decided to get it back in shape. I lowered the action a bit and put some new strings on it. Well, everything sounded great, except the b-string. It was...

I think you are all probably right about those salesmen. In fact, the one that brought back the buzzing guitar tried to act like he couldn't hear it, but after I showed him (several times) he consented. So either the guy is deaf (which, MAN, do you want a deaf guy working in a music store?)...

I've decided to sell my guitar and get something nice, a real good one to last me . . oh like a thousand years or so. My price range is right around 1200 bucks (assuming I can get a decent amount for the guitar that I'm selling. I'm pretty sure I can). So here's my dilemma: I took my uncle...

My two bits I just built a computer too. I was a little freaked out at first because the learning curve was so huge, but after everything was finally put together it only took me a few days before I had a real recording, and was listening to it from a CD. Here's what I'm using: Gadgetlabs...

Okay, in answer to Eddie, El Grande Computer is still under construction… more on that later. But it'll be a doosy. Soundcard: Gadgetlab's Wave 8/24: I went with this because I'm a beginner, and everyone who has written about it talks about how EASY it is to use. It's 24 bit recording, but...

So, I went to the re-opening studio celebration, and it was a little too crowded to discuss serious business, but it looks like this friend of mine might be serious about producing us, although I’m sure he still wants my money. He’s asked us to “share time” with his band at a few shows in...

Two questions: 1) How far apart should your monitors be when you set up your studio? Or does it not really matter? (Obviously, it does, I know. But does it matter how far?) 2) The Tannoy reveal (bi-amplified) monitors are in a Kung Fu fight against the Event 20/20 (also bi-amplified).....who...

I’m going to a celebration for the opening of this studio on July 14th, and I imagine that he’ll probably tell me exactly what his “deal” is. I really like this guy, and the few projects we’ve done together have left me sounding really good…but totally broke. I’ll see what he’s offering. If...

Geeeez, I didn't know I was mediating a WAR. Well, folks, the problem for me is I still haven't got my Internet account set up at home, so every time I want to check the forum here, I have to come clear to the college. I'm glad to see that everyone is still so concerned about where I throw my...

Okay, I’m back on this side of the planet now. Tired, jet-lagged, but ready to get some recording gear. Regebro, do understand your suggestions, and I have considered that more than once. It seems like a good way to go because it would sure be a lot easier to figure out and use. It might...

I'm also looking at the digi 001 for PC. It seems that no one knows anything. I ordered their free video and watched it. They were using a mac the whole time on the video, and they didn't say a word about the PC version the whole time. So,are these just unchartered waters or does someone know...

Actually, I've done a bit more searching, and ... digi 001 can't, and neither can Pro Tools. There's a big fat debate going on about it in digidesign's forum. Most users I've read tend to think that although it doesn't support 96KHz that it doesn't really matter, and that...

That's my question. Let me know if you can. Muchas Gracias. Squashboy

I'm just about to pack up my stuff and head back to the good ol' US of A, but before I got home and starting spending all my money, I wanted to ask one more question. Here's the deal. I'm pretty much sold on the Gina 24. It seems like it's the best bang for the buck (24bit/96 KHz, and I don't...

I want to ask the same question (about the built-in preamps) about the Aardvark DIRECT Pro ($599). Does that really work? Squashboy

I'm planning on recording acoustic and electric guitars, vocals, and some light percussion. I was going to get the Darla 24 or the Gina and using an ART Tube amp ($100) and/or a decent mixer ($300) to power the mics. Two factors here: 1) I would like to be able to record drums in the future...

Briefly, what is I/O, and how would it affect the recording on 44.1KHz? I have read what Dragon says about having to eventually record back to 44.1KHz when you record to CD, even if you recorded in 96KHz to begin with. So what's the advantage?

Sure....NOW I learn about pricewatch.com, after searching myself BLIND! Oh well, better late than never. I'll definitely look into that PIII 750 option. To be honest with you, I don't really know the difference. I'm mostly just trying to gauge everyone's opinion on what's best. The Ati card...
