    iBook over a Powerbook

    a test would prove useful for showing someone that an AMD equipped computer is faster. But, Windows can go to hell! I'm sick of viruses, spyware, and all the crap that comes along with operating Windows. I'm going MAC b/c I don't want my computer crashing, getting attacked over the internet...

    iBook over a Powerbook

    Interesting....I might buy a 12" 1.33 Ghz powerbook that comes with 768 RAM.......from what I've read it seems this will do the job of audio recording. I'd like to run Logic Pro 7 and use a USB or Firewire audio interface. Does anybody have thoughts on this laptop choice? I know the AMD equipped...

    Quick! I'm about to buy this. Need second opinions.......

    there are some suspicions that I have. It's categorized under Men's Clothing. There's no pictures on the listing, but the seller emailed them to me> I asked if it was stolen. He told me he got it as part of a "deal." He wants money to be wired via Western Union and can't currently take paypal...

    Cakewalk Christmas Specials

    Sonar 4 Damn! I just saw the price of Sonar 4. $599 is the lowest I've seen. Producer Edition that is. Is there anywhere to find a lower cost? Maybe some reduced costs in early January? Also, this may have been discussed already, but what about just getting the Studio version and using free...

    James, I need a new sampler, and samples

    You know, I am just getting into this. The reason I am looking at the Moog stuff is becuase I know I like that. But, I think it's wise to do a little research to make sure you're not missing out on something else. I have not used any product as of yet, but will probably end up with the Arturia...

    Pickups & strings distance?

    I've been going back and forth on this issue for a while. I play a Gibson ES-446 with Voodoo Pickups (humbuckers with low output). I play mainly jazz/rock/country/folk/funk type stuff (haha). I got low output pickups b/c I wanted to use a Keeley Compressor which has an IC chip that doesn't like...

    Sennheiser e609 guitar cabinet microphone

    So, I bought this mic about a year ago and am just getting started in recording now. I was curious if anyone uses this mic for recording their guitar cabinets. What do you think? Any thoughts on mic placement? 6-8 inches away or just hang down in front of grill? Thanks. Mag

    James, I need a new sampler, and samples

    Beltrom, the SS2 seems interesting. Have you thought about the Arturia Minimoog or Moog V Modular Softsynths? I too am interested in prog rock stuff, and also fusion stuff, and modern type stuff like Ween and such. We might have similar needs.

    Analog-style Soft Synth (Moog, Project 5, ??)

    Shit, I should have investigated that thread more. Thanks. I'll post there.

    Analog-style Soft Synth (Moog, Project 5, ??)

    Hey all, trying to decide on what softsynth direction I want to take. First off, let me state that I DO NOT MAKE HOUSE/RAP/HIP HOP/TECHNO MUSIC...... I'm looking for a nice soft synth (and also a nice drum sampler/editor) to use with my new home recording studio on PC. I'm leaning toward...

    Sonar 4.......some questions

    mshea, thanks man! Yeah, I bet the drum sampling takes practice to get it sounding good. Although expensive, FXPansion's BFD seems like a good way to go.

    Drum software

    DR008 and BFD are two that I'm looking into. I'm interested in other recommendations as well.

    Sonar 4.......some questions

    Good recommendation......it looks like people's PC's are all across the board. Even those with 512MB RAM seem to be able to get the job done. I'm thinking about upgrading my Dell Desktop (Pentium 4, 1.8Ghz) by adding another 512MB RAM to the existent 256MB. Maybe just go to 1Gig of RAM. I figure...

    Who is the most underrated guitarist?

    Steve Kimock Steve Kimock is very underrated and unknown. I'm not sure if I'd say he is the MOST underrated, but he fits into the class at least. Not only is he a great guitar player but he's also a fanstastic Lap Steel player. Here's a pic:

    Sonar 4.......some questions

    Yo yo yo That's good to hear about the Sointus FX Bundle. As far as mastering is considered, I figured it would be my best bet to send it off to a professional for mastering. It's also good a second ear as well. As far as the drum machine thing goes, I've heard that the DR008 and FxPansion's...

    Sonar 4.......some questions

    So, how do I make this not just another "should I get Sonar 4" thread..... let me tell you what I need to do! :D I want to record vocals, bass, and guitar, as well as do midi work with SoftSynths via Midi Keyboard, and also use Reason for some extra sequencing/synth stuff. I don't do any video...
