    Super small apartment, broke girl, hears neighbors-STUDIO POSSIBLE????

    On the old 1960s Star Trek series, Scotty the Chief Engineer used to say, "Ya cannot beat the laws of physics!" SoundPROOFing takes mass and lots of it. You cannot 'beat' sound waves with cardboard or blankets or foam. There is a reason big studios spend millions to construct acoustically...

    Thinking About Upgrading My USB Interface, Need Your Help

    Short answer, unless you want to drop BIG money, not so much. The converters and circuitry in low-medium priced interfaces is pretty much the same quality. You want to find something with reliable asio drivers compatible with your os more than anything else.

    Recording/Monitoring latency - Hardware Solution?

    #1: Get rid of the Creative gamer card and get a real asio soundcard/interface. (asio4all is a nice hack but it only emulates low-latency asio and you're fighting cheap chips on the gamer card.)

    Do I need an audio interface if I have a USB condenser mic?

    usb plugs must plug directly into the computer, not into audio interfaces. That said, you'd be better off selling the usb mic and getting a real asio audio interface and regular xlr mics. ubs mics are mainly for podcasting and gamers.
