i'm having trouble deciding what interface i should get for recording. as of now, i'm using a $10 mic plugged into the mic in of my computer. after about 1 1/2 years of this, i think it's time for some change. i'm trying to decide between purchasing a firewire interface (firepod, firebox) or a...

i was reading on mackie's website that the 1220's firewire output was pre-fader, pre-eq, pre-everything, and the only use for the firewire output was to send all the raw tracks to a computer with no EQ or alteration from the mixer. i noticed that the firepod also does this, but includes 8...

i'm using an mxl 990 to overhead mic my drums. whenever i do it, the hi-hats tend to always be too up front and they make my recording levels spike all the time. i've tried compressing them and cutting the highs, but it's not really working. i have limited space in my room so i can't really move...

i'm considering buying a audiophile 192 or delta 44. i won't be using synths or any synthetic instruments in the near future, so i'm leaning towards the delta 44 since it has 4 ins/outs and i will be recording drums with it, so that's a plus. what are your opinions on either soundcard? P.S. i...

if i'm recording all analog instruments i.e. acoustic drums, electric guitar, etc. and no digital instruments, do i need MIDI? i need some clarification on what exactly MIDI does. thanks.

when i tried to record through the LINE in of my window's stock sound card, i was able to hear the signal through the speakers before i recorded it, but when i wanted to listen to what i had just recorded the signal didn't play through speakers. but when i recorded through my soundcard's MIC ins...

would i be able to connect a behringer 1202 mixer which has 4 xlr inputs and 2 outputs, into an e-mu 0404 sound card which has 2 inputs, and be able to hear all 4 microphones even though there are only 2 inputs? if so, how would i do this? i will be recording using n-track.
