Ok, cool, thanks a lot.
It's plugged into the SATA things on my motherboard. I got one fo those shuttle xpc's with 2xSATA connections already on there.
It's XP and it's the master (only) harddrive in the system, but yes, I got the command to push F6, and then it just kind of skipped past it to installation, so maybe I am fine.
Although I could have swore I remember someone saying that you could instal a SATA as a regular IDE if you didn't have...
Well, from the stuff I read on the net, it made it seem as though I would have had to do something more to enable the SATA, and in my bios I'm pretty sure it says IDE, nothing about SATA when it shows my "primary drive".
I remember during windows instalation it said, to install SATA or RAID...
well, it's connected to the motherboard via the SATA wire. I was reading that I needed to hook up a driver for it to install windows on it, and I never did that, and I seem to remmeber it being considered a regular IDE drive in the bios, but I could be wrong.
I got a SATA drive and hooked it up, but since I didn't have a floppy drive for the drivers and I was installing windows onto it, I think it was just recognized as a regular IDE. Does anyone know if this is possible to change to SATA without reinstalling?
Thanks a lot.
I'm not good with computers and have gotten a lot of help on here with them.
The time has come to upgrade from my old dell. I'm going to build a Shuttle XPC, I was mainly wondering if this processor with work with this barebones system...
I have two and I really like them, I think they are a great deal. I got two when I started putting together my studio about two years ago. Got them to do some school projects where mostly rode nt5's were being used by other people and I thought they compared favorably. Not the greatest mic on...
I really like the audix i5. Have used it mostly on snare and electric guitar, but it's nice and full sounding, with a much better sounding low end than my 57. In fact my 57 was my roomates who is moving away and instead of getting another one, I just got another i5.
28 is kind of a lot, if you are recording acoustic guitar or quiet vocals that may be a little much, I guess it depends on how quiet etc... But for electric guitar, drums, or anything decently loud you probably won't notice.
That's kinda what I think about my York's, they make my stuff sound a little more polished, but that's really the only complaint I have with them, they translate quite well for me once I got used to the low end, which usually sounds great on the York's, but I often have to roll off for the real...
I think you can somehow get a CD from earthworks that has sounds of their new drumset mics compared to other popular mics, I'm sure their website may have more info.
Ok, so finally I think I am going to transfer computers...aka build a computer, but use the same harddrive I have now. The question is will I have to reinstall all my programs?
This worries me because I use the NFR Tracktion (the free promo one), and I couldn't use Tracktion 2 because I want to...
Well it seems like that mixer may be what you are after, you could indeed mix on the mixer after you recorded it, but would need a way to get the audio from the comp to the mixer. I'm pretty sure the Onyx only can send a stereo mix back to the board itself from the computer through firewire, so...
I charge about $10 an hour, because I live in a cheap place, have cheap gear and no good place to record so I often am just recording at bands practice spaces, or in my basement. Plus I am usually just recording bands I know from the local scene. There is a pretty good studio that charges like...
I've recorded / produced some metal stuff and I will say this, you generally take the same approach as you do with all other stuff. You want clean sounds that will give you the ability to mix well. I try to make the band sound like the band and get a mix with some character. I usually use old...
I'm sure you'll be happy with any of the pre-amps in the price range, I doubt the difference in characters of the various preamps available will have much bearing on your early recordings. I would search more for the right mic. That being said I have a Samson C Valve that I like a lot, the main...
