Hello, I need two mics, for stereo recording into a laptop, for recording jam sessions. Nothing fancy enough to actually mic everything up individually, but rather something to throw up for some impromptu jamming. I was looking at the M-Audio Microtrack, but then I'm like, why would I do...

I want to use my laptop for editing tracks and playing soft synths and samplers (Reason) but not really use it for tracking live instruments (I've got a desktop for that). Has anyone tried the Audigy cardbus? I know, Creative generally sucks, but I don't care about its recording abilities (or...

http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/FireWireSolo-focus.html It's nice to see some affordable FW interfaces coming out. This looks like an excellent solution for someone like me who runs both desktop and laptop. And only $199.

http://nuhi.msfn.org/index.html Cool program. Get rid of IE, Outlook Exp., Messenger, WMP, etc. and slipstream it with SP1 or whatever. I just found this yesterday when looking for a way to make my life easier at work.

http://www.echoaudio.com/Products/PCI/Gina3G/index.php I am so there! Nice and affordable, with the Echo converters I love, and built in pre's. I love Echo!

First of all, I have to say Audition 1.5 is the Be All End All audio app for me, and I am ordering my (student hehehe) copy today. The VST effects and Rewire capability make an already fantastic app even better. This is the program I've been waiting for. Anyway, since I had been using CEP2.1...

NEver build someone a computer, unless your blood related, and even then think twice. I built a former co-worker a computer. Athlon 2800+, Asus mobo, Crucial memory SATA HD, Radeon 9600 AGP. Burned it in for hours, and ran SiSoft SANDRA burn-in wizard. The same routine I've done for multiple...

http://www.silentpcreview.com/article146-page1.html Finally an SFF case, not barebones. A tad bigger, but w/ a 120mm fan and it'll accept any mATX mobo. And it's cheap, for what it is. This thing is really going to bite into Shuttle's sales, I predict. I for one will be getting one, for...

Has anyone ever ran this on their DAW? I am curious to see what others get, and how relevant you think the results are. http://perso.wanadoo.fr/vb-audio/us/mm/test_spp/test_spp.htm On my 2500+ machine I get: SPP1 44.1: 2909 SPP1 48.0: 2673 SPP2 44.1: 2187 SPP2 48.0: 2010 SPPM 44.1: 3302...

I want to be able to have a separate computer to run Reason, that I can throw in a little bag and take to work and connect to a KVM there to work out stuff on lunch hour. I have lots o' spare parts, so I was thinking of a Shuttle system. Here's what I had in mind: Shuttle SK43G: $199.99...

Echo has the new Echofire stuff coming out, one with a sub $400 street price, and new stuff from Edirol, Presonus, and M Audio. It's about time companies realize FW is the way to go for external and portable audio devices. Being an Echo fan already I can't wait to check out the Echofire 2...

I am wanting to record the clean sound from my new Spider II amp, with a SP B1. My question is, how far away do I have to be so I don't damage it with sound pressure? I've heard they're pretty forgiving in that regard, but I am anal about this stuff and want to make sure I don't f*ck it up...

I was thinking of upgrading to either a Layla or Delta 1010, but they don't have pre's. Which means I need either a mixer with 8 direct outs or something like the Octopre. I prefer the rackmount style, but $900 plus is more than I want to spend on the pre alone. Is there anything with at...

Hello all, I am a guitar player (who can read music). I want to add more dimension to my music by getting a USB keyboard (probably an Oxygen 8) and a softsynth. All I want to be able to do is play the synth in the computer, and record it in Acid, then mix it down to a stereo wav to import...

http://www.fxteleport.com/ Anybody ever try this program? It seems too good to be true, to work properly. It sounds like a cool idea though.

I found yesterday that I really love the sound of my guitar going from my the guitar to an older Korg multi effects pedal to the board directly, then into the card. It gets this really smooth clean sound, almost piezo-sounding. I obviously would only be using this for clean, not overdrive. I...

Hey, I am getting this weird flanging/phasing sound when I record my 12 string with a MXL603. It's very subtle, but I can here it. I thought it had something to do with my monitoring settings, but it does seem to be in the playback of the audio. Any ideas? I know I am missing a setting...

I got a hold of customer service, and they told me there's a 25% discount for students. Proof is required, so grab yourself a student and get like $60-$70 off. I am cheap, so I always ask about this stuff!! Of course this may or may not change with the Adobe buyout.

So I am playing with the CEP2.1 demo, and I am loving it. Couple questions: 1. How do I monitor the recording levels from my input, before I actually hit record? So far I only get readings on the bottom VU once I press record. 2. Can I play with effects plug-ins in real-time, like Cubasis, or...

Alright, so I've built a boatload of AMD-er's, and a couple PIII's a couple years ago. But I've never built a P4 system, and now a friend is wanting me to build him one. The question is: Upon installing the CPU, do I need additional thermal paste or pads, or do I simply slip the chip in...
