Could I get a little advice on speaker placement, for my new room, please? First off, the good news - my partner and I bought ourselves a beautiful house and I have a new room to work in. Dimensions are precisely 10ft x 7ft, which would of course make a perfect studio for someone solely into...

My AMD Quad core system which I use for general duties sometimes reboots by itself and there is a flash of a blue screen. It used to do this all the time, then it stopped completely. I had trouble free service for about 3 months. Never found out what was causing it and similarly, without any...

Might as well just post this. Describes my situation to a 'tee'. So it's not just me... https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/960189 A suggested solution might be this... Flash - MozillaZine Knowledge Base But just reading the first line of that makes me feel overwhelmed. Anyone got...

Using: Fostex MR-8MKII Digital Multitracker recorder KAM KDM400 Dynamic Vocal Mic Behringer UB1204fx-Pro Mixer Great recordings using the Behringer mixer's pre-amps into the unbalanced/ guitar input of the MR-8 but hardly portable. When I use the mic on the balanced/ XLR input alone, the...

I have several tracks which I want to pass through the same EQ but some of them to go into a reverb. The problem is I want all of the chosen tracks to pass through the EQ but only some to the reverb. I want the reverb to be side chained (is that the right term?) so that I can have a mix of wet...

The stereo line level inputs of my (physical) mixer each feature a level switch, which toggles between +4 and -10. My computer's PCI L/R out is connected to this. I output my mix using a VST limiter (or multi-band compressor with the limiter switch on) which lies after EQ and other effects...

Hi all. Well, we've seen 'Doctor Destructo' himself in action enough times; we've debated whether the Apple Mac or the PC is the more stable and we've even talked about "getting the most from your tools". So now it's time for us to lay our cards on the table, leave behind (but learn from) the...

For audio books, I use the Fostex MR-8 MKII digital multi-track for capture. I'm now at a stage where I could do with getting my DAW up and running for editing. For this, I will be using FL Studio 10 Signature Bundle. Question is, which OS should I use? I have at my disposal Windows XP...

I wonder if anyone could explain what is happening here? Just lately, I've been running a line from the output of the on-board Realtec sound chip of my internet/ office computer to a line-level stereo input on my Behringer 1204FX mixer. The connection comprises a 6 meter audio cable which goes...

Fostex MR8 MKII £49.99 7 day money back gaurantee. 3 month warranty. No visible wear and tear. Found it just as the shops were closing for business. I've got tonight to get some opinions and read some reviews before I run up at 9am and nab it. Voice recording for audio books is my purpose.

I was looking in the window of my local PC store yesterday and saw this second hand Dell mini computer running Windows XP going for £150 GBP. I've done business with these guys a few times and I've done a bit of DTP and leaflet distribution for them in the past. So they're great friends of...

Right, I'm back and having another stab with what I've got. I'm doing my best to stay patient and calm. I'm willing to persevere... I think. I've set up the big new AMD Phenom II x4 machine (4GB RAM) with Windows 7 Home Premium. It's taken me about four days of wrestling with driver...

My guitar amp is mono, obviously, as it only has one speaker but when I plug in headphones I get the mono signal across both cans (obviously). So does this mean it has been built with a stereo phone socket, to which the mono has been wired to both sides of the stereo socket? If so, what will...

I have just purchased a licence for Windows 7 - but where's the OS? I've trawled the Microsoft download site for Windows 7 and it's not there. All I can find is Windows 8. Any ideas?

I've seen a USB Mic going for a good price in a local shop and, it being a condenser type, am wondering if it might be worth buying. I currently use a dynamic mic, which is reliant on my Behringer 1204 mixer's pre-amps which I think are the source of hiss and my sound card - well, I don't know...

I feel guilty for pounding this forum with non-recording computer problems - but you chaps have been helpful and sympathetic already and seem to know your stuff. Summary: Is it okay to mix memory brands if they are the same voltage? Can a bad motherboard damage memory? You guessed it - my...

What would you say is the most likely cause? My internet computer, which is quad core AMD Phenom with 3GB RAM & Windows XP Professional blue screens every time I turn it off, after just a little bit of ordinary surfing or office work. I have to keep the power switch on the front depressed for...

Just got a laptop computer for my partner and she wants to know what format she should use for ripping audio CDs to eventually upload to her ipod. I don't think MP3 is good quality and I just downloaded MediaMonkey and it only does MP3, WAV, FLAC and a bunch of stuff I've never heard of. I'm...

I have just been trying to organise my VSTs and create shortcuts on my start menu. Now All Programs is 'empty' when I hover over the link on the start menu, plus all my desktop items have disappeared. Windows XP. What can I do about this (please don't say get a Mac) !? Thanks

I'm afraid I stopped at knowing the difference between Pentium 1 and 2. I couldn't tell you what is inside my latest machine, except whether it is Intel or AMD and the number of cores. I know enough to know my knowledge ceases at the end of the Stone Age. I'm looking for an easy to compare...
