OK, I'll bite - what exactly is so terrible about these? When I was looking for a board, all I heard was "get a Mackie". When/why did this change, and what is a better option for someone on a budget?

Ah. Now I get what your saying. So do you think six is the minimum?

In my post I said "For the most part, I would probably only be recording a stereo pair, or in some instances, four tracks at once." Sorry, I don't think this is unclear or phrased incorrectly. Should I have said four channels at once? I'm not talking about the number of inputs, I'm talking...

I've been wrestling with the decision of which interface to get for recording into my PC, and the recent price drop of the M-Audio products at AmericanMusical.com has me giving it even more serious thought. For the most part, I would probably only be recording a stereo pair, or in some...

First, thanks for all the replies. I appreciate the feedback and have been enjoying the conversation a lot. Second, I understand that there are "no rules". I wasn't looking for a yes or no answer, I was looking for some opinions, and trying to get a feel for what others have done. I...

Sorry - that title wasn't very clear. My question has to do with the ACTUAL recording. I've got some tube preamps, and I also have a Mackie 1202 VLZ. Is it better to go with an un-EQ'ed sound (as with the preamps) while recording, or is it better to adjust some levels (eq levels, not channel...

I think I may have to grab one of these (Delta 1010, Delta 44, Delta 66). I had a bad experience in the past with M-Audio, but I'm going to have a hard time passing this up. Does the Delta 1010 record 8 channels at the same time? How many can it playback while recording? Is anyone using this...

how are these M-Audio units compared to say, the Echo Gina or Layla? I'm tempted to get one...

MadAudio, can you use multiple Layla's at the same time? How about Echo's Gina product? Is it possible to have two in the same system and record with them at the same time?

I don't see many posts about them, but they've been around for a while and I haven't heard to many people bitch about them. A bit pricey for my thin budget, but it might be worth holding out for...

This thread has been very informative. I've been away from recording for a long time, and I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. The Lexicon Alex, especially on eBay, seems like a huge value. I might be interested in trying this approach. I need to get an interface for my PC, and...

So then you're talking about doing the final mix, rather than making changes and going back into the PC here...but I did see your post regarding giving it a try and checking out the results going back into the system. You brought up another interesting point - effects - I've never been 100%...

amonte33 interesting...never really thought this was a "viable option" but maybe I haven't given it enough of a chance... MadAudio, what other devices do they mix to? CD Burners? Do you think going back into the PC would degrade the audio too much? the first limiting factor that comes to...

After I make a recording, I usually use Cakewalk's EQ to tweak the bass, mids and treble on a track, and I use the on-screen faders to set the levels of the mix. I noticed that there are a lot of computer interfaces with multiple outs and I was wondering... Is it possible to send several...

NICE! So this is some well covered territory... is it possible to make these changes in one user account called "Recording"? Or do I have to do this each time before I start?

hi kbaccki, thanks for the relpy. "You should have a second hard drive for doing audio work, whether or not you use the extra drive you already have. " Done - I've got one sitting around that I should throw in at this point. "BTW, if you absolutely must install win98, you can partition...

Hey everybody, how's it going? I used to be a regular poster on this board when I was actively recording, but I haven't done anything in a few years now. I'm looking to get back into recording again. I've got a pretty solid PC (well, it was pretty solid when I got it): Dell Dimension 2350...

After a long abscense, I want to get back into recording on my PC. I've got a fairly new PC that should be good enough (1.8GHZ P4, 1 GB RAM, Win XP Pro, 80 GB drive) and I still have my original software (Cakewalk Pro Audio 9.0). Eventually, I'd like to get something that will allow 4 or more...

after a long time off, I'm starting to get back into recording again - only after so much time off, I'm not sure what's out there anymore or if I need to upgrade. I've got a fairly new PC now (P4, 1.8Ghz, 640MB RAM) running Windows Professional, but my hardware (Midiman DMan 1044 or something...

Anyone use the GuitarPort for recording? I've got a POD, but I was thinking of selling it to make room for other gear. If so, I was considering getting one of these. Are they any good? I know they are limited in the simulations they do, but that really doesn't bother me - it seems to have...
