Thank you. OK, this is the critter I'm buying. Note that it's version 2, whatever that means. [Drivers??] Will I need a direct box? [Note that the pre amp will be an M Audio DMP3.] Will I need all 3 pieces of gear: interface, direct box, preamp? Note that I'm doing 1 track at a time - sort...

Sorry, bull, I'm terminologically challenged. What's a DI option, and how does that take care of the direct box function? Thanks.

Thanks, benny. Well that's more or less what I had originally thought, as per "Billboard Guide To Home Recording," Roger Nichols' site, and other sources. This creates another mystery: why is there NO discussion of the things, on this and other forums? And, do home studio people use them, or...

[No, a direct box is not a PODxt or anything like that.] In doing my homework, I see references to direct boxes, which are used for "matching the level and impedence of microphones and instruments to those of your mixer or card." Well now, isn't that exactly what your pre-amp does? Is "direct...

Caution: from the little I've seen on the www, the 0404 USB 2.0 is perhaps "a work in progress." Great specs, but needs a revision or three before unleashing it on the public. However, that's taken from a very few references.

"""lead free solder?"""

Hah!! The new one is called the 1212M V2, for version 2. I don't know what the updates/difference is/are.

Now hang on.... Wouldn't ALL interfaces/cards have soldering, and wouldn't most of it be lead??? I wonder why the 1212M got picked on.

That makes sense, but who knows?? Hmmmmm......

Oh is THAT what's going? Thanks. Is lead solder a problem?? Does the solder heat up when the device is operating normally?

If someone makes a product, no-on has any right to rip it off for any reason. All this justification - and that's exactly what it is - is so much sophism. If your not going to buy it, mind your own business. If it is your opinion that a Mercedes-Benz or Ferrari has too much profit built into...

Yes.......... The 1212 gets a lot of serious positive reviews about its sound, but it also gets a few more complaints, but a lot of that is software related, from what I can tell. The choice isn't perfect, because I'm not very technical, but then, I'll be using most of the default settings and...

People steal software for the same reason a dog licks his privates: because he can.

"""I believe the reviewer said that they heard a noticeable different between the converters of the 96 and the 192, but that the 192 still did not sound as good as the E-Mu 1212m.""" My research is purely reading, not practical, but the above seems to be the case. In fact, you would have to...

I think that if recording equipment had not progressed much past what was available in 1959, really good artists would have records 'sounding' about as they do today........ or maybe better.

In my opinion, it's too obvious. It might work well, some people might like it, but I could not bring myself to do such a direct lift. Of course, the context is the big thing. How does it "sound?"

Yes, thanks. I will be getting a video card, which is necessary to run dual monitors. For DAW purposes, I understand that it doesn't much matter which card it is, as long as it supports dual display. The builder said the card would be maybe $50, but I don't know which card he was referring to...

Yikes! How necessary is the 550?? Brand name, well, I'm done 55 threads where "buy from a builder" is the agreed wisdom. I've always bought Compaq. but they won't even take extra drives.

Yes, I'm getting an EMU 1212M or M Audiophihe 192.

[I have a reasonable price on this Christams preasant, for a first DAW. I just want to determine that it should not have any compatibility or other problems with mainstream hardware or software, ie. Cubase, Sonar, Ableton, Emu, M Audio, midi/vsti plugins, etc.. Please have a look. Thanks very...
