What software are you trying to record with? I assume Cubase, but we got to start somewhere. The C1 has a built in pre-amp, so that's not the problem. Your mic and the C1 are all you need. It's a setting we need to get to.You should be checking in the DAW software, not windows.

A couple of things that can cause audio problems are virus software running, background apps, network cards... When you are doing music, don't conect to the internet and turn off everything you absolutely don't need. Do the cntr-alt-del thing and turn off all programs and processes you don't...

LOL: very good, Well when I came to, I reread my notes and the experiment was a complete success. Science has unequivically proven: "A brick wall limiter causes can cause serious damage, use with caution" Got me thinking about side chain compression. What happens if you have a brick wall...

Gets me thinking? So if I walk into a brick wall, it hurts. If I run into the brick wall I get a concusion. So I guess brick wall injury must be logarithmic. Well, the only way to know for sure is to do the experiment. BRB

You can also look at other DAW's instead of protools. Lots of them have simpler versions under $100. Even Reaper has a free version. You can get basic hardware, mic's, monitors. The whole thing can be under $500 and you can always upgrade as you go.

Time to take the plunch! Computer based DAW is the future, so you might as well dive in. Maybe the best thing is to tell us what you want to do and we can make recommendations.

Give us your computer specs. Yes you need an interface, with buit in preamp, probably $100-$200

To keep it simple, your computer has a sound card which is fairly useless for recording. You need an interface, which acts as your soundcard, but allows you to plug in mics, guitars etc. Remember, interface is now your soundcard. There are lots available, but at a minimum you require: - phantom...

Not sure what you are asking, but 1 mic is mono. You can't get stereo from one source.

For acoustic, you want to google x-y micing. You want an interface with 2 preamps, phantom power, and then a couple of condenser mics. Lots of options available, but like I said, research acoustic guitar recording before you buy anything.

+1 go computer

Just a thought, Could be a power problem. Do you have everything plugged into the same outlet or powerbar. Any chance you can try power from a different outlet? Especially plugging the computer and Tascam into totally seperate outlets that are on different breakers. Also, cables in and around...

Another thought, like miroslov said, a single cab won't do much to reduce volume, but the footprint is smaller. What about just another self contained amp altogether. I had a small Washburn that sounded great when turned to 11 lol, but just wasn't that loud. Look at the Roland Cubes or similar.

Like everyone said, it may be broke, may be bad cables, may be ground loop. Remember though a distortion pedal is simply a preamp seriously overdriven so it amplifies anything put into it. Could even be your pick-ups are poorly grounded or badly shielded if at all. You may want to consider a...

Wow, your computer is smokin. I don't know why you would have laency problems. Do some research on optimizing for audio production/recording. Something is running in the background taking up resources. I have 1/4 of you computer and run at 256 buffer without a problem until I hit 12 or 13 tracks.

Here's a simple way to think of it. Compression makes loud sounds quieter and quiet sounds louder so that everything ends up sounding the same volume. Now this is a very simple way to put it, but it is a place to start. aaronmcoleman gave a great description, but to make it a little simpler...

I don't think anyone will hear a difference between cables. Some benefits though are softer easier to roll cables, probably can take more abuse as well. On a similar note, I bought an HDMI no-name cable for $5 instead of the $60 cable they tried to sell me. Works perfectly fine, and this one...

The jacks are for a hold pedal and the other is for an expression pedal which can be used to change volume or tone settings.

I'm not sure of that specific connector, but from the picture, it looks like they probably have an o-ring seal inside the connector. It may just take some strength to break the seal and it should come apart. Disclaimer: If I'm wrong, I'm not replacing it !! :)

Yes, it will work fine. For Sonar will work with any interface that has good ASIO drivers. It also works with WDM drivers but is best with ASIO
