    Comparing 8 Input USB / Firewire Interfaces

    I think I'm going to have to go down the 8 input USB / Firewire Interface route, I want to use it mainly for recording drums but also the rest of a band sometimes as well. If anybody has any input on the following selection it would greatly appreciated, with the current economic climate I am...

    Help With Noise / USB Interface

    Just thought I'd post a reply as anyone else doing a search with the same problem may find it useful, it was the cheap USB Interface as if I take either a stereo jack out of the headphones or 2 phono leads from the CD/Tape out into the 3.5mm Microphone input the whine goes away !!!!!

    Help With Noise / USB Interface

    Tried the refresh speed and resolution this morning and made no difference so bought it into work and plugged it into a different computer in a totally place and it does exactly the same !!! Seeme like it's a cheap rubbish interface or alternatively it doesn't like using the CD input / output...

    Help With Noise / USB Interface

    Thanks for the quick replies, I can change the resolution easily enough, I can't seem to find out how to change the Video Card Refresh rate, I've googled it and there are loads of articles telling you what it is and what it should be set to but not one tells you how to change it :rolleyes...

    Help With Noise / USB Interface

    I'm using a Beringer 1222 FX mixing desk which came with a UCA 200 USB interface which I've downlaoded and installed the proper ASIO driver from Beringer's site but I think it may be that that's creating quite a highish pitch constant sound. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the driver and tried...

    Reaper Audio or Cubase 3

    Thanks for the replies, have spent another 4 hrs reading through and have managed to slot one more small piece of the puzzle in place, only another 22 million pieces to go :) Did everyone else find this mind blowing when they 1st started and the sheer volume of how much there is to learn or is...

    Reaper Audio or Cubase 3

    I've got the free trial and have been playing around with it, what's doing my head in though is then adding in effects etc, all I want is something REALLY simple (like me :p) and easy to use. Arming and recording is easy and straight forward but if you want compression and have to start putting...

    Reaper Audio or Cubase 3

    Thanks for that, thought it might be worth mentioning I don't have to pay for the Cubase, a friend who hasn't used it for a long time (hence why it's version 3) has said I can have his copy. That said if Reaper is better / easier to use I don't have a problem paying the $60 for it so it's not so...

    Reaper Audio or Cubase 3

    I'm still at the very early stages with all this and have the option of either using Reaper or alternatively Cubase 3 but at this stage only want to start using one as opposed to 2 different systems. Is one any easier to learn or better than the other and of so what are the advantages of one...

    Monitor recomendation

    Hope you don't mind me posting a query in here as well as it's something I've been considering as well. My main issue is trying to keep it small as the rooms "cluttered" enough already. I have a decent spare stereo amplifier and was thinking about putting either of these with it...

    Reaper Template Project ??

    I've been working my way through the Reaper Manual (slowly) and trying to get grips with it. It keeps referring to their template project to experiment on "All Through The Night.RPP" it's probably me going mad but where do I find / how do I access it as I can't seem to find it anywhere...

    Newbie Software Advice

    I've managed to get it working and sound coming though fine. If I open a new track and go into the options for In you can select mono input which then offers In 1 or In 2, if I select In 1 for the 1st track and then open a second track and select In 2, I thought it would record whatever's...

    Newbie Software Advice

    Yes it is, I was literally just coming in to repost as I've spent a while going through Reapers manual (initial setup which includes number of inputs / outputs and it only sees 2 of each) and with my little knowledge I'm beginning to wonder if whilst there are 4 I/O sockets (I didn't know what...

    I'm using the Behringer 1222FX mixer with their UCA 200 USB interface which I've downloaded and installed the drivers for. There's an XLR input and then below that Line in and below that Insert I/O, is there where I should plug the mic into (it's XLR to jack input) as absolutely nothings going...

    Newbie Software Advice

    Thanks for the replies, certainly the Reaper software looks interesting. Someone I was speaking to last night said they think it may now be possible with the right USB interface that you can assign each channel to the software ie Channel 1 Vocals 1, channel 2 Bass etc then you all play together...

    Hi All, I'm a complete newbie (1st post) so be gentle with me, and have literally just starting playing around with Audacity and am just about beginning to understand the basics. Are the paid for alternatives for home recording much better without spending a fortune and if so what are the...
