That really sucks! What if I want to have my cake and eat it too!? I have to dish out lots more $. Although the firepod has cubase lite, so that will take care of my basic recording needs :)

Yeah that makes sense. Thanks for your input, I'll let you know what I end up with. Cheers, Matt

One other thing..hah is a firewire port the same as usb, or is that a whole other component? As you can tell, I'm quite ignorant on all this! ;)

I think if I went with the 1010LT or 1010 I would go with the 1010 because it is mic ready. But on the downside, I still need preamps. And that interface doesn't have a headphone out. That Firepod looks promising. I was, and still am considering a simple US-122 or 428. Even though it is USB it...

You have to download a plug in from a source, such as a website. There are two types, I belive, DirectC and VST. Each work with different types of audio programs. VST is a subsidary of Steinberg, I think, which is the company which produces the DA program Cubase. Plugins allow you to add...

I've been looking to get started recording and have a couple of ?s. I browsed through the old posts and got a couple answered (since we all hate repeats), but I still have a few. Sorry if I accidently repeat anyway, I see it all the time on guitar forums and I know it makes you want to pull out...

Yeah thats the thing, there seems to be so many options. Cubase is something I haven't looked into at all, but I'll check it out, along with the million or so other programs out there (or so it seems like) Thanks everyone manning1 check pg post

Manning, my pc is as follows Emachines T2200 Windows XP home, service pack 2 (standard ed.) 100 GB HD 512 MB DDR Ram 3D S3 Pro Savage8 3 1394 Ports, 6 USB ports 40x CD-RW DVD Drive After I get powertracks, I'll let you know what ?s I have. What would you suggest with the above setup, most of...

Yup, I remember that you are a big powertracks advocate. Good to know,maybe I can pick your brain after I get up and running. :) I posted over at pgmusic, thanks for the tip. Do you find that not being able to manually control the virtual faders is a large setback (see above)?

Huh, that makes sense...I'll check out the 224. Do you have any experience with powertracks? If so, how do you like it? thanks, Matt

What's a control surface? I'm new at this....you mean like a midi keyboard controller?

I saw lots of these type of thread titles when I searched, but didn't see any like this so here goes....Does anyone use a US-122 with powertracks? Are they compatible? It seems like this is a pretty reasonable beginning unit for the price, and I think I'm going to go with it, but I'm thinking of...

Cool, I'll look into it. The first thing I thought was "well, $49, you get what you pay for." I was going to spring for the new abdobe audition but found out that it doesn't do midi. Seems like this might be the way to go. thanks for the help everyone, I'm sure I'll be back. ;) Matt

I saw that pgmusic seems to be oriented toward this program called powertracks. Is this a good program to use, versus cakewalk or cool edit? Thanks Matt

Yeah thats what the problem is. I'm not really sure how this stuff works! haha. I know that you need an interface toboost the signal of mikes, especially condensors, in order to get them onto the pc. But in terms of multi tracking, using midis, programming and everything, I really don't have a...

I'm completely new at this and I guess this is the place to be. I'd like to record to my pc through Cool Edit Pro. I'm going to get a USB interface and use that to record stuff one at a time. I play guitar and sing. I'd like to have bass, piano and drum on my songs as well, but I don't know how...
