Wow, the specs on the AT3035 look pretty sweet. I'm going to Woodwind and Brasswind today (only an hour away) to try out a few, and it appears they have this one in stock for $189. They don't carry the Studio Projects mics though. :( Thanks for all the input and recommendations. As my voice...

Update: how about 2? What about this: For the price of an AKG C-3000, I can get both a Rode NT1 and a Shure SM57. I'm thinking two mics for the price of one, sorta. But then again, maybe the AKG is worth it by itself. One thing I thought about trying was getting the NT1 and the SM57 to use...

Hi folks, I'm working on a budget (aren't we all?) and I've narrowed it down to a few choices. I'm really trying to keep it under $300. For radio and similar voice over work, here's what I'm looking at: From Studio Projects: B-1 (inexpensive!) B-3 (changeable patterns, correct?) C-1 (real...

How do you use Acid? [list=1] Dance music/Club music Radio/TV commercial beds Video soundtracking beds Something else (please explain) [/list=1] I have seen Acid for some time now, but never took the time to really see what it is and what it can do. I am piecing together a business plan for...

Thanks for all the input. It's been a busy week, but here's the update. Hopefully this will help someone else, or perhaps someone can see an error in my ways and correct me. :) I upgraded to the 24 bit version this past week. Had problems getting anything to record. It was real choppy, almost...

Quick question for all you who use the 24 bit version. I just picked up an Audiophile 2496 this weekend. Not my ultimate solution, but I am pleased still. :) I registered the 16 bit version of ntrack and used it quite a bit. The on-board sound on my new PC, however, forced the upgrade to a...

Thanks, bub. That's awesome. I'm motivated to buy those pedals and try open mic night next month! Thanks again!

Just out of curiousity, how do you use it live? Do you pre-program your set list as "songs", or do you go back and forth between "patterns" with a footswitch or something? I am interested in this as I look to playing out on my own around town here. What advantages are there to one way or the...

That reminds me of something I heard regarding drummers vs drum machines: Spill beer on a drum machine and it will stop working. Spill beer on a drummer and he'll work harder. LOL. OK, seriously, here's something that I've used with friends when recording. If the singer also plays an instrument...

If the W2K drivers for your card are solid, I think you'll be happier with Windows 2000. My experience has been that if an app crashes, I just restart it. Reboots are minimal. If the drivers for your card are at a 1.0 stage or have a bad reputation on W2K, you might be better off dual booting...

I am very happy with my Alesis SR16. It's pretty easy to program. Lots of different sounds and patterns. I picked it up new for about $200 at Woodwind and Brasswind. 1/4 inch stereo main and aux outs, plus it's midi-able if you are into that (I'm not and haven't used it that way). It's the...

Thanks for the good words and things to try. I am increasingly convinced that the next step needs to be that new soundcard. Thanks again! Tony

Anyone use one of these yet with ntrack? http://www.midiman.com/products/m-audio/duo.php Would there be an advantage to getting the Delta 66 instead? Tony

Yep, the more you add, the louder it all gets. :) I think you can turn down the master channel volume to overcome that problem. There's also a setting to "Automatically decrease volume as tracks are added". Click File, Settings, go to the Options tab, and you'll see it near the bottom of the...

Hmmm. No difference changing the mixer and line settings. For kicks, I removed the line in patch cable from my soundcard. The VU meter didn't change. Makes me think it's something inside the case. But then again, why would SAW barely pick it up and ntrack seemingly brings that noise to the...

Actually, I just recorded a similar sample in SAW and the noise isn't there! In fact, if I open up each wave file in SAW and look at them visually, I can SEE the noise from the ntrack recorded wave file. Actually, with the volume way up, there's still an ever so slight amount of noise when...

Oops. Forgot to post that info. :) I have a 12 channel DOD analog board. I take the line out from that into the line in on the soundcard. It's always been kinda hot on the line input (same thing with SAW as with ntrack), and keeping the windows mixer all the way down has never been a problem...

Hi there, I just bought a new PC. Athlon AXP1800, 256 MB RAM, nVidia Geforce2 Ti graphics. Great for Unreal Tourney, but I really wanted to be able to run ntrack. I can run ntrack, but every track I record has some background noise there. In fact, my VU's show this noise too. I have screen...

Thanks Thanks for the feedback, all. I have the filenames changed like that because a number of my friends can't download .mp3 (rules at work). But I'm about to say phooey, they can get them at home instead. Sorry for the inconvenience. Yes, I'm recording digitally. ntrack with some audio...
