I am in the process of changing careers and unfortunately will not have time in my new profession to write/record much music. I figure I am better off selling my set up now while it is worth something than letting it collect dust for 3-4 years. I may as well offer it for sale to you guys first...

Okay, Okay, thanks to much of this boards help, my CD is finally nearing completion. I also bought the ntrack compressor and eq, although I have not used either yet. My question is this.. After burning a few CD's just for fun, the overall volume is lower than I would like. From what I gather...

First off, what an addicting hobby. I am having a hard time recording two mics at once. I am a singer songwriter and sometimes I want to get the live feel of a song so I'll try and mic the guitar while I sing into another mic. Track 1 in input 1 works fine and is normal. However the track 2...

I've asked this question in some other places but no one has responded... The cardiod attachment is the upside down heart? The omni is the circle? The hypercardiod is the apple w/leaf shape? Thanks, Phil

I am leaving for the airport to see my girlfriend in three hours. I have her Valentine Day present CD all ready to go, however when I use ntrack to mixdown to a wav file now it saves it as one of those unrecognizable files that always asks you what program to use to open it up!! It worked fine...

my sound card has 4 inputs. I have one mic that needs phantom power and three that do not. When I turn on phantom power on the breakout box phantom power is delivered to all 4 inputs. Will the phantom power hurt the other three mics or cables at all? Thanks. Phil

I am in the market for a plextor (I've heard they are the best) but need help deciphering what I need. What's the difference between the IDE, EIDE, SCSI... I don't have a SCSI card or whatever, so what else would I need if I got that? What's better the EIDE or the IDE? Thanks, Phil

how do I do it? I have the aark 24/96 but can't seem to get the software to record multiple mics at one time. I can't find it in the help guide either. thanks Phil

After several hours of tinkering last night with about 8 tracks and several effects with no problems, I woke up this morning with anticipation for more learning. However, after recording about 3 tracks with no effects, I started getting problems on playback with the error message about...

okay, so I've been tinkering around trying to learn... When I want to finally mix down I hit the mixdown button, and it mixes it all down to one file, but how do I mix down so I can change some of the faders on the mixer? I.E. So I can solo a bass track or whatever. Is it that much better to...

I got my mic the other day. I was amazed at how small it is. I guess that's what they say, "it's not the size of the boat but the motion of the ocean!" LOL I've got a couple of questions... 1. I've never had to deal with the different patterns, i.e. omni, hyper, etc. What do I use the...

Okay, after months and months of research and a few frightening credit card bills here's what I have assembled: A dedicated DAW computer: PIII 450, 128mg ram, 13 gig 7200 rpm IBM hard drive partitioned. I'll buy a plextor CDR when I need it. Aardvark direct pro 24/96 which just came in the...

I was wondering which magazines were the overwhelming favorites of the people here. If you had to choose one magazine subscription to have, which would it be? Electronic Recording, Home Recording?

I am brand new to all of this, and I was so pumped to finally get my new computer/sound card/software after months of researching and reading. When I finally sat down to start recording my first platinum album I came to a screeching halt because of my inability to use Cakewalk effectively. It...

I build/am building a dedicated computer for my Direct Pro card (which still hasn't come don't get me started !@#@#$%#). I can't seem to find much information on the web about which motherboards are the best for our applications. Some cards like the Event/Echo's want "Genuine Intel Chipset"...

I am in the process of setting up my computer for hard-disk recording and had a few questions I hope some of you pros could shed some light on... I have an AMD K6-3 400, and was planning on purchasing the Aardvark direct pro 24/96, and according to the tech guys there this card does not need a...
