    Multitrack to computer??? HELP!

    Basic minimal soundproofing?

    I'm pretty new to recording but actually my dilemna has nothing to do with the actual recording aspect. I need to know what is the best (and cheapest) way to soundproof a few windows. My band just started practicing in a very empty basement. I need something to put in front of the windows so...

    Climate effect on drums?

    Hey I was just wondering here: Will cold temperatures affect my drums/cymbals? I have my stuff set up currently in a cold basement. Not really damp, just cold. The only effect I can think of is possible warping of drum shells. I just don't want to unknowingly damage my equipment.

    Will my soundcard work?

    I was planning on just doing simple recording: Hook my Tascam 424 into my computer via a Y cable and recording. However I don't think I have a "Line In". I know I have a "Mic in". My soundcard is a basic SoundBlaster AudioPCI 64D Mixer. I'm not real knowledgeable on this stuff so someone please...

    Recording to computer

    I was planning on recording some music from my Tascam424III to the computer in hopes of converting it to a WAV file. I'm not really interested in editing the music on the computer, just recording it. I know that I connect the line outs on the 4 track to my mic in/line in on the computer. Anywho...

    Splashy addition

    I finally decided to add a nice 12" Zildjian A Splash to my setup (which included 3 crashes,1 ride, 1 china). I haven't even tried it yet (haven't been to rehearsal yet). I just wanted a new sound basically. I was just wondering: are these cymbals easily broken/cracked/dented?? I know the paper...

    What is a good cymbal cleaner?

    I'm looking for a good cymbal cleaner/polish. I'm not a big fan of the Zildjian cymbal creme. All of my cymbals are "A" Zildjians. So basically I'd rather use a spray than a creme. Let me know your suggestions. Thanks ahead of time to whoever replies!

    Updating my drumset

    OK here's my story.... <yawn> When I started playing drums about 9 years ago (when I was like 14 years old) of course I had little money. I eventually saved up about $ 300 and bought a "Blackhawk" 5-piece out of a Sears catalog. I few weeks later I added a second bass drum. So my basic setup is...
