yeah, what multi-track program you using/going to use with your setup?

Whats your budget? How much are you willing to spend? It starts to get expensive for what you're asking.

Have you installed the latest m-audio drivers for that specific card? Have you checked if the device is working properly/installed properly? (ie. for windows - right click 'my computer' -> Properties -> Hardware tab -> Device Manager -> "m-audio device here") I don't really have any...

Considering what your tossing up with, i'd also vouch for monitors.

Alot of it is to with money too? hahaha. You'd think a real business wouldn't just blow money on a new system thats 1 year old, because the idea is to make the gear work for you. There's no absolute 'need' to upgrade things until a certain extended period of time has passed and the unit is...

Anything by Pink Floyd is genius. Listening to the albums was one thing, watching pulse was just another! The tone that man gets on his guitar, is truly the work of a God.

I'd agree in saying that mic placement can be a vital step to getting a good track down, but that being said, it doesn't seem to be the real issue you have here in accordance to your first post with stating you've already tried different positions. Its gotta be at the source i reckon, its...

I too have never experienced any ram issues except for one. But that was only because one ram stick wasn't compatiable with the new stick i bought. I find your situation even more bizarre, because the majority (if not all) of ram sticks usually have a lifetime warranty, or so every ram stick...

Haha! That's hilarious, it's like the only song anyone knows by them, but its a killer. lol the cowbell wasn't there for the recording, it was there to help keep them in time :p

To answer your first question, its not a matter of help rather than a matter of extra options. Try alternate to its positioning, such as on the cone or as you said 7-8 feet back, see which one offers more to your likings; the 57, or the condenser. Ears are the key. For the second one, i don't...

Its kind of funny really, a lot of it nowadays is "whos mix is the loudest?". I'm not disregarding some of the importancies in it, but sometimes you forget about the musicality, just my $0.02 there...

Thats an interesting post really. I don't have any real "fav" i guess. Can't even name a song at the top of my head what sounds good. My friends song though, he had a pretty nice mix going. It was like a B.B. King-ish, type of song and it had nice guitar fillers in between gaps of vocals...

What cab are using? 4 x 12? 1 x 12? 2 x 10?, etc... Where abouts are you placing the microphone? What are the settings on your guitar amp? What style of music is it your recording? Is it a riff, a power chord, a solo? These are the key issues which are all relative to deciding on the...

Just downloading one of those applications is the way to go. Their very small in file size aswell which is even more of a reason to download them, and much easier to use than spending time finding what program on your computer does work... I use AAC compression these days, mp3 is a lossy codec...

computer based here too...

Yeah, i haven't as such had much experience with the Nady preamps. Trying to stereo record the drums (using x2 mics only) could work to start out, it takes a lot of time to get a decent overall mix of the kit, but you can only use what you got. Just shop around really i think for a mixer or...

The only real reason i would isolate from the net is because like promythia said, resources. I only ever sometimes shut down more applications/processes to enable more CPU resources. Really, unless your doing anything really drastic on the net i don't really think theres any real reason to...

I'm more of a combo fan these days, went through the stage of head and cab, but it just gets annoying lumping it around everywhere so im stickin with combo's ;) .

Doing your own demos and EPs has its advantages. Time and money is the main one. Well if you already have some mics and a mixer with direct outs/inserts and your a standard band (ie, 2 guitars, vocalist, drums, bass, etc..) you could get by on that firewire 410. The quality in comparison to...

I kind of understand your logic, but only ever so slightly to a paranoid extent. You don't have to go cold turkey on the internet for your recording computer? What if you need to update your computer from the internet? Transfer files via another computer quickly and efficiently? Get an...
