My just-completed DIY guitar stand

Here's some photos of my studio build....it's upstairs above the garage....it started out as an unfinished bonus room when we built our house 8 years ago...didn't even any flooring at that time. This build can also be found in much greater detail in the "Studio build in unfinished "bonus room"...

I'm trying to make up my mind between the Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 and the Presonus Firestudio Project.......I've searched and seen where people were having issues with the Presonus drivers, but they are 1-yr old posts and hopefully they've got their issues worked out. My DAW's Mobo is a...

Has anybody tried both the MOTU Pre8 and the Line6 Toneport UX8? Was just wondering about the quality of the drivers and also the preamps. I recently purchased a Digitech GNX4 Guitar Workstation, if I got the UX8 would it make the GNX4 somewhat unnecessary? This is for studio work only...

I need an audio interface, I'm running Sonar 8.......I'm debating between 2 different MOTU units, the 8Pre and the Ultralite mk3.......no analog mixer.....seems like the 8Pre would be better using Sonar because you shouldn't need all the outs that the ULite has if you are mixing "in the box"...

Got a case of the "I'd like to try something different" aka "gear lust" and sold my Delta 66, so now I'm looking for a new soundcard. Looked at the Q10 and some of the MOTU products, but they are just slightly out of price range....I record just me so alot of inputs would be nice but not...

Anybody here have a Presonus Firestation and Sonar? I am looking to get a new soundcard and was considering the Firestation, but I noticed on their website it mentions something about Sonar not recognizing the Firestation at 24-bit, only 16-bit. I was also considering the M-Audio Firewire 410...

I'm currently running Cakewalk 9.03...I've been looking into buying some plug-ins but now I'm wondering if upgrading from 9 to Sonar might not be a more cost-effective move, since FX1 and FX2 are part of Sonar. Are the FX1 and FX2 effects decent in Sonar or would I be better off with a 3rd...

How do you measure latency in Cakewalk? I've noticed several people mentioning a latency rate in ms....where do they come up with this number? Is this the "Effective Latency at 44,100" in the tools section? I have a project file that has 20 tracks of audio (each track is about 30 seconds...

Hey all, I recently downloaded the DirectX plug-in suite from db-audioware....was messing with the de-esser and ran into a problem/question....mainly "how do I use it"?? The instructions say this: First, you tune the detect circuit to pick up the sibilant element of the vocal. You are...
