Basic lesson is: same as with any other computer, you get an external interface and ignore the built-in soundcard if you want to do it right....

Try it. You might learn something. ....you wont get far if you're not willing to experiment in YOUR space with YOUR equipment. No one here can tell you what will work and what wont for you.

What exactly are you missing in 'midi functionality'?? All the score editors work the same way. They are, by definition, for writing in music notation and outputting to print or midi files. You're not going to get to assign stuff until you get into a daw. btw: I use Musescore->Reaper and it...

Even on an xlr, a dynamic mic does not use the pin that passes phantom power. Use the xlr and don't worry about it.

Square rooms are the worst to work with as standing waves build up and do exactly what you are describing. Until you change the shape of the room (or use another room) you could add foam till doomsday and not have it work right.

Shame because PC Magazine declared the best laptop to run Windows is a Mac Pro. It's just an Intel laptop and you can put Windows on them or run both os's....

Did you launch the installer and click on the icon in the window? You're supposed to just drag the icon onto the applications folder and that will install it on your hard drive in the Applications folder. (that's how you install almost all Mac software) By launching from the opened .dmg file...

Yup. All you need. Plug it in and get wifi, done.

Spend $50 and up on a real asio soundcard. Asio4all is a band-aid and is not real asio. The built-in soundcard is a cheap pos with less than a Hershey bar's worth of chips.

Short answer: The non-usb versions dont have an digital audio interface in them; they are just analog mixers. The soundcard in your pc has less than 50cents worth of chips (yes costing less than a Hershey bar) made for beeps and boops, not music production. As mjbphotos said, do some homework.

I did not say I have a thunderbolt hub, I said you can use one. I do have an Apple Thunderbolt>Firewire adapter and run one of my Glyph drives on it with no problems. I am looking at them now to expand my thunderbolt chain, but I'm waiting for the price to come down a bit before I buy one...

Exactly. Your operating system is doing many many other things while you are recording (take a look at your Services list sometime) and each one of those takes attention away from the task of streaming audio data to and from the buffers and disk. A slow drive having to scramble to keep up...

asio is what you want to use for low latency. But dropouts can be caused by a lot of problems. The most common is that your drive may not be keeping up with the project. Data overflows the buffers and when it can't keep up writing to the disk it just trashes it. The smooth free flow of data is...

You are really really going to want to have a basic video editor along with Cubase. I highly recommend that you also get Sony Vegas Studio. Cheap, easy, and very powerful.

The speed of electricity stays the same. The difference is CAPACITY. It has 12x the bandwidth of firewire800 (about 100x more than usb2) so it can carry a huge number of simultaneous channels plus monitor video, hook up hard drives and other stuff all at the same time. You can use firewire on...

Google is your friend: Right in the product page--- The P-105 is equipped with USB TO HOST to connect directly to your computer for use with various education, notation and music production applications. There's also an AUX LINE OUT to connect to a computer sound card, mixing console or powered...

Well as long as you're on Windows. Dimension Pro hasn't been compatible with osx for the past 6-7 years (3 os versions) as Cakewalk had some kind of spat with the installer programmers and would never fix it. Shame, I really liked the lite version on XP and would have bought it if they'd fix it.

Yup, you just need more than the boot drive so everything will stream smoothly. The goal is smooth uninterrupted data flow. Best setup for any daw: OS, apps and plugins on boot drive. Sample libraries on a second independent drive Audio projects, tracks and misc data on a third independent...

Under what kind of load? Unless you NEED a laptop you're better off with an iMac (I have one) or MacMini with a bunch of external drives. ANY daw (mac, pc, whatever) you want: Lots of RAM (8 or 16gb, it's too cheap now to bother with anything less) Fastest processor you can afford (i5 good, i7...

Why? Unless you are on 1992 modems, Audacity is a short download at only 30mb and is safe to download. It's more than you need and it's free.
