Hi Gecko zzed! Thanks again for showing up and great advice! You mention -- "It also functions as a 4 channel USB interface, so even if you gave up on the video, you could still use it as an interface." What is a 4 channel USB interface? By mentioning, "...even if you gave up on the...

Hi! I bought the Scarlet 2i2 3rd Gen in early January. It is still sealed in the box as of today 4-22-20. I got depressed thinking I'd have to learn ProTools all over again. I learned ProTools in 2003, and remember the pain. I was younger then and more enthusiastic technically, but not so...

Hi JamEZmusic! It was very nice of you to take your precious time to respond so conscientiously and invaluable input for me! Sorry your device burned out on you. I imagine it is a very expensive piece of equipment. That's great you have compositions in the making and hope all goes well. I...

Hi Gecko zzed! I'm trying to find my reply I wrote about an hour ago and can't find it! I have a reply and need to hopefully figure out where it went. So very nice of you to take the time to respond to me! Also I understand if you don't have time but maybe if you can take a look at what I...

Hi JamEZmusic! Wow! So nice of you to take major time with me! Nothing to be sorry about with me, no pressure here! I'm going to copy/paste all of this with my thread including your invaluable advice, and store it on my flash drives and my portable external drive for safe keeping. The...

Hi Gecko zzed! Thanks again for responding and below to JamEZmusic is maybe to you too, but understand if you don't have time. I'm probably getting redundant at times. With recording before I bring it to an engineer to remaster with the term "mixing" I'm not sure what you mean. I plan to...

Hi JamEZmusic! (also Gecko zzed, and anyone else!) Thanks for your input (s)! My "studio" will be my bedroom in my 481 sq ft apartment. I'm yet to be fully ready. I have a slow going process with my tote type boxes of my books and a lot of papers I have to sift through. I don't know if it...

Hi gecko zzed! Thanks again for input. I'm only glancing before turning in at a weird hour once again! What about ProTools being used 90% of the time by production or recording studios? I'm a bit worried about that and maybe I don't need to be. I don't know who I'll finally select to do the...

Hi JamEZ,music! I just arrived here before turning in and so nice of you to contribute here! I need to muse over this. I know I'll have more questions. I'm glad I'm asking before hand. Back in 2004 I used ProTools because it came with "M-Box" I recorded with, yet I thought it was not a...

Hi Gecko zzed! You mentioned my Scarlet 2i2 3rd Gen would come with a limited edition of Pro Tools and I found out it comes with Pro Tools First which their website notes is: Every Scarlett 3rd Gen interface comes with a package of software tools to start you on your recording and production...

Hi Again! I just realized something! You said you're in radio! I don't mean to put you on the spot... but maybe I could send my recordings to you once I do it. My apartment is crammed with stuff I was hanging onto for too long after caring for my mother until she transcended. I'm taking...

Hi John! This is great as you're in radio! The first recording was in a resolution not readable to CD players. I could hear it with my computer. The engineer who did the final remastering, Stewart Weaver with Oasis CD Manufacturing in 2004, I can't find anywhere. I didn't want to email the...

Hi! What is replicating a CD and how is that different than duplicating a CD in regard to a glass master? When I two yrs ago tried to do a reorder Oasis CD never made that distinction. They said it was, I think, remembering 14 yrs ago, it was a good idea to have a glass master as they would...

Hi TalismanRich! Very nice of you to take the time to respond! Wow! I never did get shock mounts with my mics. I bought them as a matched pair from I think it was 8th Street Music for $160 each. I have the foam socks that go over the end of the mic. Are those as good as pop filters? I...

Hi Gecko zzed! My program you were asking: ProTools came with M-Box back in 2004 and worked with XP in my Dell 4400 PC. I was told the 2i2 is the successor in that line and liked that ProTools came with it, yet I forgot the term used but sounding like ProTools for beginners, something like...

Hi Snowlizard! Thanks for your response! I'm so un-knowledgeable that all I can say is I guess I'll be listening via the headphones jack on the 2i2. I have to be quiet as possible as I live in a big high-rise apt bldg and the walls are thin. A lady was even complaining about my nylon string...

Hi! I have to admit I haven't used the 2i2 yet as I need to get rid of a lot of stuff I've kept for too many years stacked in my bedroom in my 481 sq ft apartment. I ordered the 2i2 because I thought after Christmas they might raise the price from $160, but they haven't yet that I see. I keep...

Hi Gecko! A big sigh of relief here! So great to think I won't have to buy more equipment or another sound card. I didn't have much money in 2004 and 2005 when I recorded with my M-Box and used Studio Projects B3 large diaphragm condenser mics for my two solo piano albums. Now it's just my...

Hi! I'm returning to recording after originally recording two solo piano albums (no vocals, just piano solos) first time since 2005 with the "M-Box". They turned out very nice and sold 4,000 copies without ever touring or advertising etc. Now I'm going to make another attempt to record solo...
