maybe As far as portability, and ease of use the MR-8 will work fine for you. Transfering WAV files to the PC is a snap, but you have to download the wavmanager from Fostex to do this via USB. With an SM58 you will achieve good clarity, but will want to mic closely, I suspect. Be aware that...

Thanks. I just wrote down what the rep told me. I'm pretty sure he just said 856g, but I could've misunderstood. It's easy to do when you don't know what you're talking about ;-) Anyway...thanks for the clarifycation, christiaan. Much appreciated.

my computer specs Dell 4600, Intel Pentium 4 processor, 2.66GHz w/533MHz FSB. The Dell rep told me it has an 856G chipset, but I don't understand how that indicates if it is VIA, Intel, or something else. Couldn't find related info in the literature that came with the computer. Thanks for help.

I am very new to PC recording and still trying to wrap myself around the more detailed info about computers in general. Can anybody explain chipsets to me in layman's terms and tell me how to determine what kind of chipset is in my computer. Or can you offer a link to an article that might help...

Wow... ... so many options. Don't know how I'm ever going to decide which way to go. What I really wanna do is hook four 414's together, rig them up so that they send 16 separate tracks to a CD-R, and then mix down to my CD burner. Voila! My dream system! If only it were that easy... Thanks...

me too I'm also in the process of choosing an interface and have been researching the Aardvark Q10, but I am enticed by the other features of the Roland Studio Pack (especially the hands-on mixing part). Some feedback I've gotten on the Roland is that it is not very straightforward, a bit...

cool Thanks so much for the tips and keep 'em coming! It really helps to know what others are using and how. Good luck elisav13, and to everyone (like me) who is just getting started with PC recording! Really appreciate the input. I'll get it together eventually...

another question Hope you guys don't mind me jumping in here with a question. You've mentioned two of the sound cards that I have been considering: the Aardvark Q10, and the Delta 44. But this is where I get confused about tracking drums to the PC and I'm hoping for some clarification. Once I...

upgrade memory later?? hey dejacky, This question will show what a newbie I am to PC's, but...is upgrading to 1 GB of memory from the 512 something that I can do in the future? How difficult/expensive will it be? Chances are I will be using only maybe 8-12 total tracks most of the time, but I...

my specs: I have an Intel Pentium 4 Processor at 2.66 GHz, 512 MB of active memory at 333Mhz , 70 GB of storage. It is 7200rpm. I tried to do my homework on this and it seemed it would serve my purposes just fine. I just downloaded the trial version of nTrack and look forward to trying it...

4 tracks simultaneously?? I totally agree that fewer mics on the kit is usually best. I've just been limited to one track for drums for a long time. I'm pretty sure I can only record two simultaneous tracks with my tascam!? It's the standard 414. But I've been wanting to try using it as you...

Where things are for now... Thanks SubA , for listening and for the kind words! dejacky, so far I haven't made any final decisions about how I will ultimately do my tracking. I think what I'm striving for is the best of both worlds - a way to take my years of experience with analog/portastudio...

thanks again I really appreciate all of your suggestions. No decision yet. I'm going to take it step by step. I think for starters , I'm simply going to use my MR-8 for tracking and play around with a couple of different mixing software programs to get my comfort level up, then go for the...

awesome Thanks Ethan, I appreciate your response and I look forward to digging into ALL of your articles from EQ mag. Looks like very valuable info there that is going to help me out a lot. Cheers! Kester

Huh? What did ya say? I can't hear you! Where is that sarcastic emoticon?? *@#! ;-) :-)))

Keep the suggestions coming, PLEASE Since I am very much in the formative stages, I really appreciate all the suggestions! Thanks. I'm open to all possibilities, and SIMPLE IS GOOD!! The purchase of the PC is a neccessity, in fact I just got it a few days ago! So, I'm just trying to figure...

Hey, mixmkr Wouldn't that be "YELL that to Pete Townshend"??? He's almost deaf!!! And, now that it's too late for him, he strongly advocates that musicians protect their hearing.

that's great! Thanks,Mark! No wonder my computer wouldn't let me install it. Doh! And I'll definitely take ya up on the offer for more help, as I'm sure more questions are likely to arise. Thanks again.

THANKS for the input To clarify: I desire 8 channels in/out, because acoustic drums are my main instrument and I will want at least four mics on the drumkit. I don't really want to pre-mix the drums because I want control of the drum mix in the final mixdown. Plus, I would like the option of...
