USB-C to USB-3. I kind of wondered about that as well, but as the cpu was a build gifted to me by my brother in law, I may have to consult him as well. I have not considered pulling up the task mgr but may take a peek upon retrying again. I guess my question is really whether or not folks...

I hooked up the ol’ 2i2 gen 2 and reinstalled that driver. No issues whatsoever. Maybe I’m supposed to save the $250

I installed the driver, and designated the M4 as the default for playback and recording—and didn’t see the mic levels even though I could hear/see it in the AI. Additionally i would hear an intermittent crackle and tone. As for the YT, the speed settings were normal. It feels like the M4...

Hello all, I was excited to get back and started on this home recording adventure. I found some microphones I like, however, finding my MotuM4 is 1) not working with my PC (windows 10) or 2) I have no idea what the hell I’m doing. It’s recognized by the computer and the DAWs I’ve used...

Yes, my intention in my OP was to draw a red circle around what’s unnecessary with a limited budget. Preamps were a big question. I believe the overwhelming response was that many AIs at this price point had a decent preamp that would suffice (at my level, for solo hobby recording of acoustic...

It’s done. Thanks everybody for your help. I stuck [close] to the proposed budget [sort of] and heeded the advice [eventually] on the monitors and phones. Makes sense. Now i should start the process of learning the DAW better and EQ’ing. On an unrelated note, I have a heck of a deal on a...

Thank you for your insight WWLaidback, it is much appreciated. Yes—never thought I’d have a Martin D28 but was gifted to me by my dad following my grandfathers passing. Good way to commemorate my grandfather—and my dad. And, with any luck I can pass it on to my kids. I’ve had quite the luck...

Resuscitating just for a minute — In no particular order 1. Matt Flinner Quartet - Walking on the moon 2. Grateful Dead - Mars Hotel 3. JGB - Cats Under the Stars 4. Pavement - Crooked Rain x2 5. Bill Frissell - Nashville 6. John Scolfield & MMW - A Go Go 7. Phosphorescent - Heres to...

Thank you for the mic suggestions, I’ll take a peek at those as well. Monitoring? signal? : / I’ve allocated all my funds for capturing purposes—-I guess the next step will be to figure out what dB and all those funny little lines on my screen mean. I’ve never had monitors, just a...

Thanks for all the suggestions everybody—seems like a bright, warm and welcoming group. Think I’ll keep coming back :D I am going to purchase the Motu M4– perhaps lateral move from the 2i2 but will have some more options with inputs. Maybe something like an RME someday.. Also a ldc and...

Thank you. It’s just me—but as it stands I only have two microphone inputs on my 2i2 2nd gen and would like to record a pair of small condensers and a large condenser all at once. Sounds incredibly stupid—but I would need at least 3 mic inputs to do that. Right? Man, I felt dumb typing...

Ooof, that’s a little too close to the chest. I’d spin my wheels another 6 months because I need everything “perfect.” Sound advice to just begin and learn on what I have. Tbh, it isn’t my first foray into recording—I started with an old tape recorder > a “mini disk” tascam > an mbox mini...

Thanks Dave, good advice. I am a chronic procrastinator due to expectations

I knew it!!!

Hello, I am looking to get some feedback on a USB audio interface, a preamp and maybe some microphones. Bare bones basic recording with a Martin D28, a couple of nice spruce top mandolins, and a walnut (nice and dark) squareneck dobro. I sing some if I have songs with words. I've been...
