    soundcards for sale

    Cool... thanks for doing those conversions, Gidge. Neither of them weigh much or take up much space, so shipping wouldn't be that expensive. I think I'd leave it up to the buyer - how much does he/she want to pay to have it how quickly? Chris

    Aardvark Q10 - opinions?

    Wow... thanks for all the feedback, guys! I've finally decided on the Delta 1010, and bought it a few days ago. (hooray!!) I talked to a few people who had problems with the Aardvark, and I have yet to hear anything problematic or funny about the Delta. Everything I hear is great. Okay...

    Cubase VST 5.0/24 for sale

    Hey all; I'm upgrading my home project studio, and have recently upgraded to Cubase SX, which is the newest top-of-the-line recording software. As a result, I have my copy of Cubase VST 5.0 for sale for PC. I have the box, manual, copy-protection key (ie. dongle) and the receipt for it. I...

    soundcards for sale

    Hi there; I'm in the process of upgrading my home project studio and have found myself with a few things I'd like to sell. 1. Delta 44 sound card (made by M-Audio/Midiman) This card records at true 24-bit and up to 96khz. It has four analog ins and four analog outs, and will work with Mac...

    drums, vibrations, computers, oh my!

    Cool.... thanks, guys! Chris

    drums, vibrations, computers, oh my!

    Hey, thanks for the response. So, if the room is already carpeted, am I okay? Is there anything else that I should think of doing? Chris

    drums, vibrations, computers, oh my!

    Hey all; I'm in the midst of doing some upgrades, partly so I can record live drums and stuff. As I was upgrading my computer specs, I had a thought that seems a bit concerning. I'm going to have my modest, yet respectable brand new computer as close as six feet from a live drum kit. The...

    Bogen M330A

    I had an old Bogen thingy too a long time ago ('87-ish?) It was old then, but we used it as part of a PA system. It was six channels, if I recall correctly, and had big knobs on it. Spring reverb. From there, we went to a power amp, and to a couple of old Traynor columns.... and played...

    Aardvark Q10 - opinions?

    Ok, cool..... thanks, guys. That was one of the things that appealed to me was having the mic pres built-in, as I have come to be doing my mixing and 99% of my effects within Cubase/plug-ins, etc. At the moment, I'm using a Behringer 802 mixer and a Delta 44. Even if I had a half-decent...

    Guitar string/pick clicks

    just a thought... Is the pick noise REALLY that offensive? I mean, with a real live acoustic guitar performance, you'll get that. Think of it as authenticity. ;) Chris

    Aardvark Q10 - opinions?

    I'm looking at upgrading in the next while (maybe long while :( ) much of my entry-level setup to something that truly resembles pro-quality. Unless I read wrong in my quick scan of the information, the Aardvark Q10 has eight analog inputs, each with their own pre-amp, and eight outputs. If I...

    From a Newbie to other Newbies...

    Okay, in keeping with the carpenter analogy, consider this. A carpenter of excellent skill who uses beautiful wood and mediocre tools will always turn out a better product than I who knows nothing about carpentry, nor the tools, and use plywood - even if I have the best tools in the world at my...

    Let's say that one of your recording clients refused to pay there session bill.......

    Assuming your clients are of age of majority, and you've gotten them to sign something acknowledging their debt to you for your services, you can call up a collection agency. They charge 30%, or thereabouts, but getting 70% of your money is better than getting none. Also, collection agencies...

    Cubase transposes my keyboard!!!

    Yeah, it sounds like a sample-rate thing. The greater the difference between the two sample rates, the greater the difference in your "transposed" pitch will be. Just curious, are you using a Soundblaster/Audigy card? They, AFAIK, default to a sample rate of 48Khz, and Cubase, on install...

    "anchor" your pinky?

    I play rock guitar using a hand position like what bdbdbuck described. However, as a fully-trained classical guitarist, I have learned that the "pinky planting" technique does more harm than good. By extending the pinky down and away from the hand, it puts muscular tension across the back of...

    sloped ceilings

    Hey John; Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. The woodstove area has brick on the floor, and there is a metal heat sheild (pretty reflective, I bet :rolleyes: ) that goes along each wall, extending outward pretty much to the end of the bricks. (as shown on the diagram by the...

    sloped ceilings

    Cool.... thanks for taking the time to cut up my drawing! :) There are some things there that won't work, but I get the idea, and with a small amount of tinkering, I can make it work. What I'm wondering, though, is what I have to gain by changing everything around. Won't the window and door...

    Another fine offering from Behringer

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again because I'm being asked to...:rolleyes: Most of my stuff is Behringer or other cost-effective stuff. I have the MX802A mixer, a couple of ECM8000 mics, a Composer Pro MDX2200 compressor, and I'll be very soon getting the PowerPlay Pro headphone amp...

    Mic Phase

    So to fix a phasing problem, you could simply move one track a couple of milliseconds to line it up with the others? Chris

    Mic Phase

    Sorry for my ignorance.... what's the difference?? Is polarity the difference between positive and negative parts of the wave (ie up and down), and phase more of a right-left placement (ie, placement in time)? Chris
