Yea, that was actually the very first think i tried, however the new drivers just locked up - i'll be posting shortly ,but 4 weeks later i FINALLY got it working thanks to community support.
uh, the one im responding to
4 weeks later - finally resolved. The unit was never bad, it was presonus software drivers - had REALLY old ones that dont work with new UniversalInstaller which caused it to freeze up - old drivers caused major noise to emit from the left channel.
Very rigorous...
Broken :-(
My FireStudio had a bad left output :mad: My replacement will be here Thursday, so hopefully i'll have a full writeup after i get at least a weeks worth of using it w/o the bad output.
I was wondering how the rest of you handle this. I have an audio interface (FireStudio) that i use for recording. I would like to be able to play youtube videos, mp3's, etc. from my pc - im not sure how to do this since i had to disable my internal sound device.
So, how would you go about...
Thats the information i was looking for, thank you. I wonder why of all things, FireStudio would not have XLR at least for the main outputs. Im glad you responded before i wasted money.
My studio is almost set up but i still have noise that comes from my laptop through the monitor speakers when my laptop power supply is plugged in.
Would this help eliminate some of the noise?:

Im not expecting...
Still integrating this new hardware and setting everything up - results are good so far but i'll post a review on the 2 products after i use them more - so far the quality is what i was hoping for.
Well ive found that to record with Mic's and do what i want, my GNX4 was not cutting it. So now im using PreSonus FireStudio for my inputs, using X/Y to mic the guitar, etc.... The recordings are getting better and better but i still have a lot of adjusting/learning to do. One thing i am...
I am right there with you. Ive only found 1 guitar (a 5k Martin) that sounds as good as my $700 Seagull, so im in no hurry to update. Its def not the prettiest guitar but the best sounding for the money that i could find - and i VERY RARELY have to tune it. LOVE IT!
Also, just wanted to add...
What i ended up getting...
Well after research, talking with everyone under the sun, etc. i decided and purchased:
FireStudio and a FaderPort
I'll hook em up tonight and let you know how it goes.
With all this said, i can actually see getting one. I write music for myself and my band and its VERY hard to relay my thoughts (drums esp.) so this could be very good. I always shyed away from being the sound engineer but for whatever reason im really diggin it now. I think it will help me...
Hey, its the newb section right? Well i was wondering - would you ever use a MIDI keyboard if your bands songs dont include - keyboard?
I know with MIDI you can do cool things, but im not really getting why nearly every home studio i see has a MIDI keyboard in it. Is it for doing something...
You have been very helpful - thank you so much. Due to the limitations of the Zoom that wont work for me - i'll look further at the Tascam M-164uf although its really ugly (who cares). Im also looking further into Presonus Firestudio.
Wow, that zoom sounds EXACTLY like what i need. My comment has to be - why in the heck is it so cheap? I mean, it has mixing, control board, built-in recorder, etc. - does quality suffer as a result? ... im wondering what the pre-amp quality is.
