    Can't install Tascam US-144 drivers...

    what makes you think that Service Pack 3 will solve the problem? It takes a long time for me to get Service Packs, im on 56k modem, so I can't try your suggestion unless there is a strong chance it will be the solution...

    Can't install Tascam US-144 drivers...

    During the installation of the Tascam US-144 drivers, my computer crashes and reboots, and I then get a message saying that my computer has recovered from a serious error. This happens right after the install software requests that I unplug and then re-plug in the device... I tried...

    Cubase better then Soundforge?

    I am currently using Sony Soundforge Studio 9.0, but I am receiving a free copy of Cubase with some recording USB interface that I just ordered... My question is: Should I install Cubase instead of using Soundforge, will it make any difference to the quality of the sound that will be recorded...

    Can a Computer Recording Sound Professional?

    Why is the Alesis 8 channel so much cheaper then other USB interfaces? On the surface, it seems more sophisticated... Anyhow, I've found a Tascam US-144 available for $120 on amazon, that seems like a good deal and it has gotten good reviews, so I might go with that one...

    Can a Computer Recording Sound Professional?

    My goal is to have a clean sound so you just hear the digital piano and no background hiss... Its not really feedback or distortion that I'm describing, just a low level of background hiss that gets in the way of hearing a clean sound... I have no way of determining what part of the noise is...

    Can a Computer Recording Sound Professional?

    The Alesis MultiMix 4 USB is an analog mixer, but the Yamaha p-80 is a digital piano... doesn't that make them incompatible?

    Can a Computer Recording Sound Professional?

    I got contradicting advice today about how these USB interfaces work... The kid at Best Buy said I could use an RCA cable that splits into a single 1/4" stereo phone cable and put it into a channel of the USB audio interface, and it would record as stereo... The kid at Guitar Center said I...

    Can a Computer Recording Sound Professional?

    A lot of the $100 price range USB audio interfaces that are available are one channel only, meaning that I can't record in stereo... Do you think that will be a detriment to my recording of the digital piano, or will it not matter since only recording one instrument?

    Can a Computer Recording Sound Professional?

    I'm just planning to record some digital piano tracks in the memory bank of my Yamaha p-80 into the Soundforge... I'm not sure what you mean by "processing"... I don't really plan to add effects or edit it or anything,... Is there an advantage to saving it as a WAV first and then saving it as...

    Can a Computer Recording Sound Professional?

    How would I record in WAV format with Sony Soundforge like you are suggesting? When I record with Sony Soundforge, I'm not sure if it records in any particular format, you just have the option to save the file as an MP3 or as a WAV, or whatever format you choose... Are you just suggesting I...

    Can a Computer Recording Sound Professional?

    What are keyboard output patches? Sorry, I'm not familiar with that.. I don't plan to do any MIDI stuff, just want to run my digital piano into the USB interface and record some noise free mp3 tracks...

    Can a Computer Recording Sound Professional?

    So if I get a USB Audio Interface, there is no need to replace the sound card as well, correct? Sorry for the stupid questions, Im a total newbie at this...

    Can a Computer Recording Sound Professional?

    Okay, thanks for the advice... what specific USB Audio Interface do you recommend? I dont want to spend more then $100 if I can help it... Also, I should mention that the Yamaha P-80 have rca audio outputs but I don't think they are specifically considered LINE OUT, so will this effect the...

    Can a Computer Recording Sound Professional?

    I have some strange feeling that a new sound card wouldnt fix this issue, there still might be some noise in the background.. Running a cable from audio output into a 1/8 inch stereo cable input, it just doesn't seem all that stable to me... barely touching the cable causes all kinds of...

    Can a Computer Recording Sound Professional?

    I've been struggling a lot with background noise and hiss, and just not the greatest most professional sound quality, when I record a Yamaha digital piano into my computer LINE IN... I am considering taking this to an engineer to work on, is it possible to take these mp3 data files recorded on...

    I'm getting a nasty background hiss!

    Ok, I got a stereo cable and that fixed the MS Sound Mapper issue, I now get sound out of box channels... However, the right channel is still at a different DB peak level then the left channel, before anything has been plugged in, as before... I got rid of the hiss on the left channel, now its...

    Soundforge wont let me set channels correctly...

    Further experimentation led me discover that if I try to use MS Sound Mapper-Right, nothing records at all... the right channel appears to be completely non-functional, even though it shows some noise activity on the input monitor.. So recording with just the MS Sound Mapper option leads to a...

    I'm getting a nasty background hiss!

    It sounded fine on the way out, there is no distortion or anything... I think the hiss may be related to something else, because I'm having certain issues before I've even plugged in any devices... For instance, Before I've even plugged the cable into the computer, the channels seems messed...
