There are third-party add-ons that claim to provide an ASIO driver for on-board sound, but I have no experience with them and don't know if they are either effective or address latency issues. As a rule, USB or Firewire audio interfaces come with ASIO drivers that are specifically written for...

Well, with all due respect to everyone, it doesn't seem like anyone has given the most obvious candidate for the latency problem: make sure the DAW (which ever one your using) is using ASIO rather than the Windows sound drivers or whatever. ASIO allows adjusting the buffer size and using it is...

Well, maybe, but there are still two different answers. Music is music, and it works the same way regardless of genre. I'm not up on popular music, so you'll excuse this rather dated example of what I'm talking about: ISLEY BROTHERS - "SHOUT" [ New Video + Lyrics + Download ] - YouTube...

I agree with your points, but I think I need to clarify them somewhat. "Music," at its most basic definition, is tone that varies over time. Music differs from noise in that the sequence of tones have specific mathematical relationships to each other, both in terms of pitch and in meter...

Another thread made me curious: How many homerecording.com posters read and write music? This isn't a snob thing -- I don't think reading and writing necessarily music makes someone a better performer or composer (and I'm living proof that it certainly didn't make ME a better performer -- I've...

Well, let me explain it. Not all vocal music is pop played by bands. For every other kind of accompanied vocal music -- classical, opera, musical theater, standards, jazz, gospel -- the accompanying musician follows the singer. It's up to the singer to set the tempo, decide when and how much...

You cannot go directly from RCA to s/pdif. You need an interface that will digitize the audio signal. There are interfaces that have s/pdif outputs. It would help if you tell us exactly what you're trying to do -- are you trying to digitally stream live audio, create a digital mix of music...

I have a pair of Rokit 8s that I like a lot. They have better low-end response than the Rokit 5 and 6. Amazon US has the older version on sale for only $149 US each. I suspect that Amazon UK would have similar savings. That would put them at the top end of your budget.

Thanks, that's good to know. If Garage Band doesn't do the trick for her, I'll invest in a couple of Reaper licenses. It would be good to have the same program on each of our computers so that I could talk her through the process.

Someone is selling Cubase with a dongle. I've not used "dongle-based" software before. If I buy this, would I be able to continue to upgrade as future editions come out?

I was thinking about Reaper, but I'm guilt-ridden enough that I would pay for the two licenses. ;) I don't want to switch from Audition (I use 3.0 and CS6) and Sonar -- I've been working with them for years and I'm an old dog. However, all I need from my writing partner is for her to give me...

It is quite possible that your sister IS my writing partner. :) Thanks. We'll give it a try.

Yes -- this is what I did and the FTP installed fine. It did not appear as an option in Audacity. When I got home, I installed Audacity on my Windows machine and verified that I was in the correct screen and was going about the selecting the FTP correctly -- on my machine, the Fast Track Ultra...

The FTP is working. Not being a Mac guy, I have to use "Windows-speak." It shows up in the Mac equivalent of Devices, and I was able to select it in the system sound output section (whatever that's called). However, when I opened Audacity, the FTP didn't show up in the section where you can...

My writing partner uses Macs (but otherwise she's a very nice person :)). I'm setting her up with with a Fast Track Pro, a mic, pop filter and a stand so that she can record pickups on her own, without my having to drive 2 hours round trip to do it. Here's the problem: I'm looking for some...

Those were my thoughts, too. An external CD burner can be had for $20-30. Price notwithstanding, a wifi burner is going to need a proprietary driver and, given the nature of the wifi spec, would have difficulty maintaining a high streaming speed that would make it anywhere near as fast as a...

Out of curiosty, why?

Any CD burner will do -- they're commodity items now. I use an Epson Artisan 50 for printing labels on CDs. It's cheap and does a nice job.

You don't. However, the human voice is a musical instrument, just like any other, and, when someone says, "singing," I don't assume karaoke, but singing with other instruments. Other than for singing with a recorded track, the band, orchestra, or instrumental accompanist ALWAYS follows the...
