    What Cables do I need?

    Sorry, I was kinda changing around. The only things I NEED to plug in are the Mic. Everything else has an alternate method. The only things that I CAN plug in are the Guitar and Mic. Everything else has a connection that isn't compatible with the presonus mobile. I think my conclusion is...

    What Cables do I need?

    Well, as far as my keyboard goes, it does not seem like it will plug into the PreSonus. It doesn't have a line output. Only a USB cable output, as seen on the pictures on the yamaha website I linked to before. For the Guitar, I currently have THIS type of cable. Guitar to USB. Once again, no...

    What Cables do I need?

    So my conclusion is.. with a PreSonus Mobile, my stuff would connect like so: - Yamaha YPG-635 piano - USB Cable, Keyboard to Computer - LTD Acoustic/Electric - Instrument Cable, Guitar to Interface or I can use the Instrument to USB cable I have... - Condensor Microphone - XLR Cable to USB -...

    What Cables do I need?

    Ok, I guess I just assumed since I'd be getting an interface that it'd be necessary to plug in the keyboard to it, make it higher quality or less latency or something. (But now thinking on it, adding another medium the MIDI has to go through wouldn't help...). Thank you very much. Keyboard...

    What Cables do I need?

    Hey, look at that, I have 10 posts now. Link time. This is the exact keyboard I have. When I bought it, it was the perfect choice. Going off to college soon, wanted a keyboard that sounded and felt like a piano. I wasn't too focused on recording - it had a way to make my notes appear on...

    New Members: Introduce Yourself Here!

    Hiya, I'm Conor. Been playing piano about 10 years, just picking up guitar and vocals. I've written songs for a long time... initially had finale print music, got a mac and moved onto garageband. And now I'm looking into doing actual, quality stuff. I want to be able to show off my music, but I...

    Having an Objective View of Your Abilities

    Some people can get by with no music theory though... The first stages I think will be solely your ear, but anything after that will have to rely on you being able to match the big guys.

    Budget Monitors

    As far as really budget goes, research has led me to the KRK RP5G2 Rokit G2 Powered 2-Way Active Monitors (active = good! :D). 2nd opinions appreciated... but basically I'm pretty sure that for under 1000 dollars for monitors, avoid anything ported.

    What Cables do I need?

    Ah, We are NOT looking at the same one! :P I'm looking at the PreSonus FireStudio Mobile FireWire Audio Interface, Key word = mobile. According to the tweakheadz guide and a lot of other research I've done it seems to be the best for a good quality initial AI for solo composers/artists.

    What Cables do I need?

    I have a MacbookPro, and assume it has firewire (I don't know exactly what it looks like, but just looking at stuff online and system requirements and other users, seems like it does work). Also, according to Yamaha and the quick look of the back of my keyboard, "The YPG-635 has 2 USB ports on...

    What Cables do I need?

    So after some intense research, I've been finally getting a grasp on what type of studio I can make within my budget. But, one big uncertainty remains. I realized I don't have a good grasp on all of the cables I need... To start, I think I've settled on an AI in the PreSonus Fire Studio FireWire...

    I'm not deep.

    That was really, really helpful. I feel kinda lame with this short reply, but you pretty much answered all my questsions. Hell, dispatch is a master of lyrics that go well with the song and make no sense. I think I've been trying to make the lyrics make too much sense, and been holding back the...

    Usefulness of an Audio Interface

    Yes I did read that. It was helpful, but didn't fully answer my question. It only mentions mixers twice, and both times it's when it interchanges the terms mixer and audio interface. I guess I just want some verification in that audio interfaces are mostly used for higher quality and more inputs.

    I'm not deep.

    So here's my problem... got all sorts of songs, starts to songs, finished songs (very few), but mostly songs with all the instrumentals and maybe me humming along with them. The problem for me is that I can't seem to write lyrics. I'm not a very deep person. Surely not everyone who writes...

    Usefulness of an Audio Interface

    Just starting to branch into quality (aka not garageband) home recording. I have an acoustic electric guitar and a MIDI keyboard. I also have Reason and a Zoom H1 Digital Recorder. Using a Macbook pro with OS X and Windows 7. So my question is: how useful is a Audio Interface for me? My...
