    Audio going nuts

    I don't know what is causing my problem, but I am guessing it is something with my M-Audio Delta 1010lt sound card. The best way I can explain what the sound sounds like is like this: It sounds as if something, a program, the soundcard, who knows, is trying to keep the audio at a constant even...

    What kind of RAM do you use?

    I'm looking to upgrade my RAM from 2 512MB sticks of Corsair Value Ram to 2 1 gig sticks of XMS RAM click here for ram. I was wondering if getting some low latency ram would be better, or if that will make a big difference. I seem to have some latency issues with the demo of Fruity Loops and...

    USB MIDI device (keyboard controller) not showing up

    I recently formatted my hard drive and reinstalled Windows XP, but I never unplugged my Evolution USB MIDI keyboard controller. Now when I open up Project 5 and go to MIDI Devices, the only option I get is for the MIDI ports on my Delta 1010lt sound card. The keyboard isn't showing up and I have...

    RAID 0 - Performance worth it?

    I'm looking into replacing my 80 gig IDE hard drive with either a SATA drive of similar size, or two SATA drives in a RAID 0 configuration. I know I'll essentially be doubling my chances of a drive failure, but as long as I've worked with computers (for over 10 years), I've never had a drive...

    Midi help for the retard

    I downloaded the Acid Pro 5 trial, and have about 15 days left but can't seem to figure out how to do any midi stuff. All I'm really only trying to do right now is just create a simple midi piano roll, but how do you choose what midi sounds to select from? I have the full version of Project 5...

    downloading drivers

    This may be a retarded question, but I assumed I would only need the very latest driver and not need to download all released drivers, but I'm still having latency problems with my M-Audio Delta 1010lt card. My computer is pretty fast so I don't know why I keep getting clicks and pops when...

    Cracking and Popping from Delta 1010lt

    This doesn't seem to make any sense to me. I've had this setup for a while and it just started giving me these random popping and cracking noises, but so far I only notice them in Frooty Loops, and it gets worse as the song gets more complex. A couple weeks ago I was hooking up a VCR to record...

    Here's my music style, what tools should I look into?

    It's been a while since I've been checking up on this site, kinda funny but I finally get my basic, (oh so very basic), studio up, and I'm not even using it. Right now the only program I have is Project 5, and I really don't like it because it sounds too artificial. Perhaps I haven't used it...

    Newb help on Project 5

    Any good books on learning Project 5 out there? I really like the way the ignite! books are written, but I have yet to find one on Project 5. I don't care much for the book that came with the program, it doesn't really explain what exactly your doing, and for a dumb newb like me I could really...

    Delta 1010lt VS. Delta 66+Omni Studio

    Delta 1010lt Delta 66+Omni Studio I'm currently trying to make a decision between getting these two cards. The Delta 1010lt seems like I would be getting a better quality sound card with more options, while maybe the Delta 66 isn't as good. The Omni Studio does have a neat break out box that I...

    Newb searching for a new card...

    As my username suggests, I'm a complete newb, so I'm looking for something to jump into what I want to do. Basically all I'm looking to do right now is mess around with a midi controller, (which I plan to buy), and some soft synths. I'm not really looking to record instruments/vocals right...

    Omni studio, or Delta 1010lt?

    I really like the Omni I/O box design, and I'm going to want something like this to control the volume of my monitors when I get them. Where I start to wonder is when I look at pictures of the actual sound cards being used. The omni studio uses the Delta 66, which looks a little better than...

    How do you create your own sweet bass sounds?

    Simple question, how do you create your own bass sounds? I know you can buy these sounds on a CD, but I don't like using stuff like that, I'd rather create it myself. So how do rappers create these nice deep bass sounds? Are they simply recording certain drums being hit and then adding...

    Synthesizer, or controller, differences?

    I'm trying to decide on what type of keyboard I want/need for my thing I'll be calling my home studio. Basically I want to get into using Midi, and I've looked at some Midi controllers, but they don't seem to have very many cool features like some synthesizers do. I've had a lot of fun at...

    Is Sonar (Producer) normally $500?

    I almost posted this in the newb section, mainly because I know how "newb" this question sounds. But yesterday I was at Sam Ash and noticed Sonar 3 producer edition was just $500, and after looking at a few sites they all have it on sale for $500. I thought I had been seeing it previously for...

    Got the PC, (and sound card soon), now what?

    I'll try to keep this short and simple: Got a P4 3.0ghz w/1gig mem, will buy the M-audio Delta 1010lt soon, but now what? If I get Sonar 3 Producer edition, will that allow me to do what I want to do....which is make my own beats/sounds for trance type music? I'd really REALLY like to be able...

    XP Home or Pro? Does it matter?

    Okay first off, I don't plan on doing much networking, so all the networking stuff with Pro will be pretty useless to me. I just want to know if there is anything in Pro that is beneficial for someone looking to doing sound recording, and maybe some light video editing in the distant future...

    Need some good NEWB literature for digital recording!

    I'm kind of lost as to what books to look for, because I don't know which ones are good in general, and also which ones would be good for someone who doesn't know a lot about recording in the first place. I basically need to learn the fundamentals of digital recording, so anything that talks in...

    Can you have 2 sound cards in 1 PC?

    Ok, this might sound like a dumb question, and I tried using the search in case it's already been asked but couldn't find anything, so here I go. Is it possible to have 2 completely different sound cards in my computer? I'm looking to get an M-Audio 1010lt sound card, but this PC I'm building...
