SHIT! My condolences. Good luck getting everything back together again. I hope it doesn't screw things TOO much. Look on the bright side, though... You're lucky you didn't spill champagne on your computer, or before you knew it IT would be composing the music, taking control of your life and...

Sure, we should have been more explicit that Gadget Labs only sells direct in the US and Canada, and via distributors outside of the US and Cananda. But everyone knows that Canada is really just part of the US anyway ;-) See http://www.gadgetlabs.com/buy/ for more information. Hmmm, looks...

No, I for one just want you to recognize what software piracy really is. If you choose to steal or support theft, that's entirely your decision. But at least do it recognizing it for what it is. It's not a matter of opinion whether software piracy is theft - it simply is. It may be a matter of...

The number of ins and outs on the audio card really only impacts the number of channels you can record simultaneously. So, if you were only ever going to be recording a couple of channels simultaneously, a 4x4 card would be adequate to your needs. If you were going to be recording more than...

I use the Midiman MidiSport 2x2 - a 2 in, 2 out USB MIDI interface. Works great for me. The MIDI connections are in a break-out box that connects to the computer via a USB cable, so it's easy to access. And it's also portable. Of course, you need a PC and an operating system that support USB...

Don't forget to check past posts in this discussion group also - there are many threads about what sound cards to buy, some of which should discuss things of relevance to your situation. --Dingo

Hmmm, I just noticed ac - Bellevue, WA - I lived and worked in Bellevue for 2 1/2 years... (Well, I still "work" there, but live in Australia). Shouldn't you be in bed by now? ;) --Dingo

Me, just keyboards. Backing tracks for friends who can sing (unlike me) and stuff like that. The next Vangelis, of course... ;) Maybe now that I'm starting to get a decent setup I'll do some vocals and acoustic intruments (I have some friends wanting to put some stuff down on CD), but I'll...

And, of course, you won't be using any pirated software with it! ;) (Just a joke!) --Dingo

That's my understanding also... Gadget Labs only sell direct. --Dingo

Do you need the digital in and out? If not, consider the Delta44. If you need digital later, you can always add it with a dedicated card (like the Delta DiO). The Delta44 is quite a bit cheaper than the Delta66 ($259 from Bayview Pro Audio). I've had this card a short time now and I'm VERY...

Eddie, I agree with practically everything you said. How's that? With regards to copy protection, I can see why companies do it, but I agree with you - I don't think it's a great idea. No matter what form of copy protection you use it can be cracked, so why bother? Why waste money and...
