    Soundblaster Live for 30 clams I guess.....Why not cough up another 70 and buy an audiophile 2496 though?

    New PC for Cool Edit Pro

    we meet again! Yes, you are a good tipper ;) cnadasys.com...... I'll look at it. Seriously, I'm in a bind at the moment. I need to go back to having a ####ing day job. it's as simple as that. everything costs too damn much. Like I said, the 'season' in Phoenix sort of didn't happen last...

    New PC for Cool Edit Pro

    Thanks manning I will be in touch. Luckily I have some PC gurus in the family. If I explain to them(along with your specs) what i want, they will put one together for me. cheaper than buying a whole one, ya know. to be redundant, gigs have sucked wind this season. I assume your season is...

    Do I need a Mixing board?

    yeah, she's a Boat Anchor I realize I need a complete new system. I'm a little short on funds at the moment. it's good to be thinking this thing thru though. One can easily go out and buy a bunch of stuff and not be happy with it. I'm shopping/browsing. The dell website has some good deals...

If I NEED this PNY card, I'll yank it and...

I think the video...

    New PC for Cool Edit Pro

    Hey All...... I got some great tips about gear on the CEP forums. If anyone here is into CEP, what is your favorite PC configuration? I'm thinking AMD Athlon/ 512RAM/ 2 80 Gig HD's with 8000cache each at 7200RPM........ but, what brand of HD's?? duh.....there's a boatload to choose from. so...

    Do I need a Mixing board?

    hey there! I copy/pasted all the tips/ideas/particulars from you...and jeremy and emailed it to myself. the one thing I still don't grasp is the video card. you put it in caps, sounds like trouble. I can only ssume that a fancypants gimcrack 'gaming' type video card would/will screw with the...

    Do I need a Mixing board?

    thanks jeremy yes, we have a vocal preamp that can stereo split and I also use my GSP21PRO for vocals sometimes. it actually has some really decent reverbs and eq. it's useless for live guitar playing (it's intended use obviously) and the compression is pretty so so. but, it works nicely with...

    Do I need a Mixing board?

    Thank you sir! actually, I have both Band In a Box and PowerTracks. Also, the old version of CEP. I like the old version. besides, money is an object I'm afraid. reality sucks it's for people who can't handle drugs or something like that. already had the 2496 scoped as well. I foolishly...

    Do I need a Mixing board?

    I'm clueless I am just making my best guess that the capabilities of a PC are greater than a tascam 2488 or one of the various models which 'compare' to it. I saw a post to somebody on here indicating that if one is doing one track at a time (which is what I'll be doing) maybe a vocal...

    Do I need a Mixing board?

    what book do you recommend? seriously, I think you're right. I have recorded my guitar into the cheesy soundcard I have (SB16) via an old GSP21pro processor. I have recorded from the JV1010 sound canvas straight onto cool edit also....just experimenting. I have a soundcraftsman stereo power...
