    Preamp Question

    Guys... Guys.... please hold on. I never claimed that the blue tube was great. I only mentioned it cause it's cheap. It doesn't sound like this guys needs anything high end. As far as net reviews and M-audio pres go.... I only state that that I dont think that is this companies strongest...

    Preamp Question

    I would think that a better mic pre would help more than another mic. You could buy a $2000 condenser but if you run it through a crappy pre it's gonna sound... well.... crappy! You can't get a great micpre for $250 or even a great mic. Check out Avalon mic pres and Blue mics.

    Drum Software?

    I dont think there is a definate BEST. Their is a best way to work with drum sounds. You should begin by learning about sequencing and sampling. This would give you the ability to create drum parts using sound modules and sample based sounds like DrumsFromHell software. DFH Superior...

    Guitar pedals for recording?

    Just tell them the truth..... their gear sucks.:( A boss DS-1 will not sound good. It does not have true-bypass switching ...etc. Recommend Fulltone pedals or Analogman pedal mods. Fulltone makes SUPER GREAT pedals with high quality tone and low noise. Analogman does mods to pedals, like...

    Preamp Question

    Hold your horses..... before we start making recommendations I think we need more information. What is your desired outcome or effect? What are you recording? I did a search on the mic you listed is a condenser. Does the MKIII by Tascam have phantom power? I would not recommend M-audio...

    Maudio Trigger Finger first impressions

    Hey..... I just got a Maudio Trigger Finger and wonder if there are users out there...... It feels a little stiff at first for me. It feels like I have to hit the pads REALLY hard in order to get good velocity. I'm sure there is a learning phase to this thing but at first it also seems...

    Hard disk configuration?

    Yes... I understand the basic principles of RAID and various configurations. As for my MOBO.... as well as I remember the RAID controller looks just like an IDE connector. ASUS P5AD2 Deluxe

    Hard disk configuration?

    Would the boost in drive performance be an advantage for the OS and subsequent programs like Cubase, Reason, etc. What would you think the RAID would be better suited for. Streaming samples, OS and applications, or forget RAID alltogether and just use SATA?

    Hard Drive backup VS DVD backup

    I think that DVD is the most economical and secure. Sure hard disk holds more but how much do you really need? When backing up it seems impractical to backup EVERYTHING (aka OS, programs, other useless junk.) The data is what is important (.wav, .mps, pics, message, address book, favorties...

    Hard disk configuration?

    I have a P5ad2 by ASUS. It supports SATA, Raid, and IDE. Should I use the RAID controller for my OS and SATA for audio drives or vise versa? I was thinking RAID 0 but I'm not sure if this would out-perform the SATA drives enough to go through the trouble. :confused:

    Advice about lessons for my 10 year old

    I am a full-time guitar teacher and performer. IMO, your son is barely old enough to start lessons. His success will depend on his ability to study the instrument with maturity or he will burn out on guitar and possibly music. Lots of my students that are his age are not ready. They have...

    NEW SONG! critique?

    Nice tune. I like the vibe... feels kind'a Modest Mouse meets Ben Kweller. (a good thing IMO) It could use a touch of studio polish.... a light reverb, double the guitar part, compress the vocals, auto-tune the cello. I like the song. The above comments are totally my opinion and intended...

    do I need a preamp, or a better soundcard

    I would recommend using the M-Box with the protools software that came with it. That is how it was designed to work. Aside from that, everyone who takes CPU recording seriously should have at least two hard drives. One for system and one for audio files only. Other preamps would also be...
