If you're looking for a decent guitar at a low price, check out the better Gregg Bennett series by Samick. They're pretty good, and come with Grover tuners, Duncan pickups, good bridges and quality wood. Their workmanship is very good and the guitars, when set up properly, play and sound as...

Try Sweetwater. They have pro quality gear, knowledgable staff, great service, and can usually match prices. http://www.sweetwater.com/main.php

There are adapters that will allow you to plug an XLR mic into the 1/4" jacks. Just make sure you are matching the impedance correctly. If you don't have phantom power, stick with dynamic mics or self powered condensers.

The MXL 603s and the Neumann KM184 are small diaphragm condenser mics. The Studio Projects C1 and B1 and Neumann U87 and TLM103 are large diaphragm condenser mics. You will need phantom power for all of these mics. The Neuman mics are priced many times higher than the MXL and Studio Projects...

Here's a review of the Audigy Ex by Ethan Winer. It has a lot of information about how Soundfonts work. http://www.soundblaster.com/resources/read.asp?articleid=48&cat=2

You're most welcome. As far as using the analog and digital together, just take the outputs of your mixer and run them into the line in of the soundcard. With the Audigy2 you have only a stereo input, so you will take two outputs of your mixer and, through an appropriate cable or adapter, plug...

Robert, This latest mix sounds fine for a demo. I would suggest you keep you demos clean and simple, with emphasis on the vocal and basic feel of the song. Most producers prefer to hear listen to a demo that allows them to imagine what they would do with the song. I have opinions from a...

My point exactly!

Robert, I've been listening to the third mix, and debating whether to offering my opinion. The reason I'm hesitating, is because you are the artist with the vision of how you want your song to be presented. Anything I say will be my view imposed on yours. That is getting into the territory...

I forgot to mention that the Audigy2 Platinum comes with Cubasis(I believe), which is a decent audio/midi program for multitrack recording. It's a stripped down version of Cubase, a very popular professional level program. If cost is a consideration, and you don't have a recording program...

Well. your computer is certainly powerful enough to do what you want to do. The Audiophile card will give a better sound quality than the Audigy2, but the Audigy2 is pretty good sounding. And in your case, may be a better choice if you only want one soundcard. (You said you needed support...

You can't be a bass player. You wouldn't have been able to read that.

I forgot to mention - with digital recording, you never want the signal to get into the red. Unlike tape recording, where some saturation could have a nice sound, digital saturation just buzzes horribly. The signal to noise ratio with digital is so good that you can keep it in the green and...

Dani, If you were getting a meter reading, the problem is not the level. It's probably that you need to select the input in the software mixer. Look at your system tray (lower right corner of your computer screen). Double click on the speaker icon. That should open up the mixer. Make sure...

You're welcome. Glad it worked for you.

Maybe I misunderstood. What kind of soundcard are you using? Does your software mixer (in Windows) allow you to select more than one source? For instance, a Soundblaster live will allow you to select "What U Hear". If it does, you shouldn't need to patch in a signal from the line out to the...

Try adding stereo effects to one or two guitars. You can get a very full sound with more space.

That's correct. But you make an audio tracks from the midi tracks. Here's how. Mute all the tracks except for the midi track that you want to make into an audio track. Set up another track to record audio and arm it to record the sound of your midi module, soundfont or sample. Play the...

Try going from your mixer to the line input of the soundcard. It will probably have a high enough signal. If you have a preamp you can use, you can try that, instead. If you are using stereo effects, and want to record a "wet" signal, use a stereo input. Some people prefer to monitor a wet...

You can make audio tracks from your midi tracks so they all are heard on mixdown>export.
