This is a beautiful looking facility! However, given the high number of (cheapo) Behringer gear I highly doubt that you purchased all the software. :rolleyes:

Yeah, the old myth that MACs are more expensive is actually not true if you compare MACs and PCs with simiar specs. Turns out that they are almost the same. I recently got an Alienware notebook with is similar to a high-end Powerbook, except that the PowerBook is actually a bit cheaper ($200 or...

Is this thread never gonna die?? :o

Great! I think I'll order one of the PAIA headohone amps and fire up my soldering iron :D Did you put it in a rack space using a rack panel or use the supplied box? I think having a rack unit might be much better coz when you pull on the headphone cord the whole thing won't crash to the ground.

I'd rather instal CYGWIN which is a native Linux environment for Win XP. With Cygwin you can execute any Linux program/command within Windows. Works like a charm, is easy to install and doesn't require too much disk space (around 300MB for a full installation, but you can customize it). I had...

Yeah, but only because they don't know sh!t about gear, so they get the brands which get mentioned the most! :D

Great looking tracking room, marknrox! How are you gonna record when the A/C unit is running? I figure it will be very noisy.

How does that unit sound like? Any good? I read a lot of mixed reviews of the PAIA stuff.

Nice setup! I especially luv seeing the A&H Mixwizard 16:2DX in the corner :D Did you do the mods you suggested to me a while ago? I'm a bit reluctant to open the mixer and mess around with my soldering iron! How about putting some acoustic panels on the walls?

What's the questions? :confused:

Just go to a computer/electronic store and buy a FireWire PCI card. they cot around 20 buxx or so. If you have a notebook, you can get a FireWire card for your PCMCIA slot.

Its still the home recording studio forum, Bruce :rolleyes:

I think it was a Westen Digital, but the rate of HD crashes is roughly the same for all major HD companies. In the company I work for we have around 500 computers and one HD crash per month. The recovery rate is 100% if you send the HD to a company which is specialized in data recovery -- but it...

Buy a stock computer (I have a HP and it never let me down). Just make sure you put as much memory in it as possible, and that you can upgrade in the future. Anything less than 2GB will be a joke in 2-3 years, so be prepared for the future. And: Buy an external USB/Firewire hard drive or an...

My new notebook has 2GB, while my desktop has 1GB ram (maxed out already). I have 3x 80GB HDs, 1x 250 GB external USB/Firewire HD, and 1x 450 GB USB hard drive. Guess I won't be running out of disk space any time soon, and have plenty of backup options (after a baaaaaad crash and loss of all...

In your case I would not use a computer at all (unless your band makes electronic music). I'd be afraid the pc might crash during a performance, hang, or do other stupid things. I think a decent rugged mixer would be the way to go. You could always suppplement that rig with a notbook later if...

Yeah, sure. :rolleyes: I had an AT4047 for a while and liked it a lot. Of the mics you narrowed it down to, I'd get the 4047. Good luck!

I agree with you, elevate. Its interesting from a psychological point of view that almost every MAC user thinks that MACs are the most powerful, most this & that computers out there when they obviously got the facts wrong. That's why I felt like replying earlier when it was said that the...

oh boy, here we go: the endless MAC vs PC debate :rolleyes:

I didn't really do a more careful test at this stage, so I won't be able to say which sources make the biggest difference.
