    Computer or Stand-Alone Digital?

    sheesh Man, this thread has grown far to long, and encompasses far too many topics. Nintendo? Come on. This thread is now cursed, and anyone who posts a new message to this thread will have bad luck recording music for the next year. Hehe.

    Hard Drive Failure, any advice?

    Hey, dont you trust you buddy? A wav file is a wav file, and if he says he got the data transferred, well then how well do you trust him? If you want proof have him play the files for you on his computer. Otherwise the issue remains how to transfer the files back to your new hard drive. He...

    Computer for less than $500.00 for recording, What else should I use???

    AMD vs Intel The Duron is comparable to the Celeron, a low budget alternative to their regular line. What you want is the standard AMD Athlon or the AMD Thunderbird. Blows away Intel and is cheaper. Standard uses a Slot A motherboard, and Thunderboard uses a Socket A board. Asus is a good...

    SB Live vs SB AWE 64

    I've heard . . . I've heard, but not yet tried, the Creative PCI Ensoniq'. I've heard the design hasn't changed since Creative bought the company that makes them, and it has an exceptional S/N ratio, better that anything Creative Labs puts out. The best part is they can be had for a whopping...

    Problem with SB Live Line levels too low, Help!

    Thanks I tried the software and it helped boost the recording levels, thanks. The Input Gain Control slider doesnt seem to do anything, though.

    Computer for less than $500.00 for recording, What else should I use???

    What you need Hey, dont forget the CD burner to burn your audio disks, and lots of RAM, 128 MB is a start. My guess at prices would be: Motherboard $90, CPU $90, FAN $10, 128 MB RAM $100, Case $35, Floppy $15, Burner $150, Video Card $40, Modem $30. That leaves 50 bucks to play with. Get...

    N-Tracks vs. Powertracks

    Powertracks now Version 7 I hear you there. I haven't had to normalize yet cause I try to get the levels set correctly before I record. Note there have probably been 2 significant Powertracks product upgrades since then, now version 7, so they may have corrected that problem. I am finally...

    High pitch whine from SBLive

    Change slots Yes, I used to have a similar noise problem with a SB 128 card. PCI sound cards tend to to be affected by peripheral devices in the computer, maybe by resource sharing, or maybe by EM fields where the card is physically situated. (Particularly the voltage reducers on the...

    Is this all I need?

    Don't buy the Art. The ART Tube MP suffers from inexcusably high noise floor. I have never heard that about any other product in ART's tube pre line. But I have heard from reliable sources that the ART Tube MP itself (the cheapest in the line of pres) has noise to deal with. I'm not saying it...

    Problem with SB Live Line levels too low, Help!

    I am converting my old analog band cassette tapes to digital by running a line-out from the tape deck to the line in on the SB Live Value edition and recording with Cool Edit 2000. The line levels are really low, about -60 dB even with the volume controls pegged in the SB control panel. What...

    Computer or Stand-Alone Digital?

    features? Is that a viable bonus to say that the computer is great at running everyone elses software? It the hardware that counts too, baby! I don't want to start a PC vs. Mac war, but it seems to me there is ten times more available hardware for the PC than the Mac. As far as I'm concerned...

    Computer or Stand-Alone Digital?

    AMD or PIII I think Athlons are just fine, if not better than pentium class machines. I have a PIII, an Athlon, and an Athlon thunderbird, and I can't say I am more fond of one or another. I am currently using the Thunderbird for my DAW. If you guys are having problems with youe DAW's...

    optimizing windows 98 for audio recording?

    video sites For video, there are many different sites depending on what kind or video manipulation you are doing. For encoding DVD (MPEG-2) down to DivX (MPEG-4), which in essence can reduce a 8 GB DVD down to a size that will fit on 1 or 2 CD-R's without losing much quality, goto...

    Computer or Stand-Alone Digital?

    Computer vs. Stand-alone I think the answer depends on how knowledgable you are with computers. Computers are a good way to go if you feel you have the technical savvy to deal with a lot of variables, settings, and controls. Otherwise they can be very frustrating. One other thing to think...
