    Sound card and AMD compatability

    m-audio cards work fine with my underpowered AMD 400MHz. I've got a VIA intergrated chipset .. so you can't get any lower than that. Works great. I've got Windows 2000 however with a ton of RAM. I suggest you dump Windows ME. Without specific details, I have to tell you that it's IMHO, the...

    Propellerhead REASON

    I posted this in the MIDI group and I won't be posting it again .. but does anybody have some positive/negative feedback about the propellerhead REASON software? I just downloaded the demo, it seems to rock .. it looks and feels profesional. Is this a serious app or is it child's play?

    regular computer geeks just don't get it??

    being a computer geek myself .. (been programming for about 12 years) .. the only thing that my pc knowledge is applied to in the realm of home recording is TWEAKING THE CRAP , *ahem* out of my lowly amd k6-2. I brought that Piece of Sh*t back from the brink of death so many times it's...

    Just how bad are you?

    hey i'm sort of a wannabe satriani, petrucci, gilbert. They've done marvels for the hard rock and progressive scene. By being a wannabe, i simply want my technique to have flavor .. that's all. The pinky is in the mix! However, for the longest time my scale runs usually involved only 3...

    noise when recording

    make sure the instrument or mic is at least 10 feet from the PC. Shut off the monitor while recording .. just to see. make certain that your levels aren't too high and that there's no clipping going on. make certain that power cables and audio cables are running at 90 degrees to each other.

    winzip is losseless too . ..but if the monkey's audio compressor thing is made for audio , hell then why not give the developpers a bit of glory and give it a try. I'm at work, but anybody want to compress a file with both Winzip and Monkey and compare the two?? gotta give em a fair shake ey?

    defrag or not defrag that is the question

    dachay2tnr is right. defrag regularily so that when you record, your wave files will be in a nice contiguous space (hopefully) on your drive, otherwize, chunks of your wave files may find themselves scattered all over the place. This would affect the loading time of your project.

    OK Guys, Build me your Dream Computer!

    I'd drop the monitors altogether and get dual projectors. why stare at a screen when when you can have the picture on your wall? It would certainly save space on the o'l desk now wouldn't it?

    Mac vs PC???

    I can't find the DOS prompt on my MAC? joke. The mac architecture traditionally on motorolla 68k family of processors has certain advantages over the pc. the RISC (reduced instruction set computing) set of instructions is smaller. there are more CPU data and adress registers. 8 data 7...

    Recording

    if you have an effects unit, then you can take the output straight into your pc's soundcard input. You may need a converter thingy for your cable .. that's about 3$ at radio shack. In this scenario you would unfortunately be bypassing your amp's cabinet and my wish to look into getting a 'red...
