Based on the minimal information you have given, I think you should return the focusrite and get a Mackie Blackjack. It is an affordable interface, and while it is limited to two inputs and two outputs, the ONYX preamps are very good pres and it has phantom power.

Core Duo processors are not supported by Mountain Lion (the most recent 64bit OS) Core 2 Duo processors are. CD does not support 64bit, C2D does. A G5 will run OSX Leopard, which will run 99% of the DAWs out there, the 1% is any DAW that requires a 64bit OS. Every OS after Leopard is...

You should be able to find a used/refurb macpro in the $500 range. If not I see tons of Powermac G5s on craigslist all the time for less than $200. Either one will do you more than well.

Great beat man, the mix needs some work, but I like what you're doing!!! what do you think of this rough mix: https://soundcloud.com/gt4-productions/track-8

I'm going to post one more time, as far as knowledge goes, this forum is where it's at, but as far as feedback on hip-hop tracks, the much younger subsidiary forum of this one seems to be where it is at: future producers.com I'm looking for as much feedback as I can get on my ROUGH mixes...

nice work, I like the progression!!! It turned into a really great looking room!!

Have you tried actually contacting Ableton?

I have used Live for strictly audio recording. If you have the money to spend, go for it. You will not be disappointed!!

Not that it matters, but why does he require you to buy equipment and record him when he has his own studio? Why wouldn't he just have you record him in his studio with his equipment, while teaching you what you are doing?? Anyway, the monitors are for reviewing/mixing what you have recorded...

Google a pdf of the user manual. That should be a great start in answering all your questions.

If they visually look ok, you are probably lucky. As far as testing with an mp3 player, start at no volume then work your way up to about 60% if there is an issue it will be evident far before that...

anyone have any input?

Here it is. I'm looking to hear it all, the positive and negative. Thanks!!! (please note, this is not mixed down. just a rough mix as part of a demo, but if you have mixing advice, I am more than happy to hear it) https://soundcloud.com/gt4-productions/track-10

dunno if it's different on a windows machine, but if you hold down shift while you select which tracks to arm, you should be able to arm multiple tracks.

GIK?? Still looking for some answers!! :D

Mr. Reynolds, thanks so much for all your help!! And with my current material situation, you are saying I should build 4 corner bass traps (positioning TBD), 2 first reflection panels, and then 2 back wall panels. All at the dimensions you suggested of course. (or should I do the corner traps...

as far as the ceiling, are you saying it's not a huge priority to treat it, or that is the only place you would use 2" panels? I also forgot front wall treatment, would 16"h x room width (minus the front traps) @ 4" be good? and to clarify, are you saying the back wall panels (not corner...

you must spread some Reputation around before giving it to kcearl again.

Really? I thought that I 'frame' the outside with wood and then cover the front and back with fabric, wouldn't making a wooden backing defeat the purpose of the panels all together? (please pardon any ignorance)

Please tell me what would be ideal, I am looking for guidance. Please do keep in mind the size of the room... I can do whatever I want, so I would like to have the most ideal setup. Also, any suggestions on the wood to use for the framing to keep it light?
