    Just got a MOTU M4..

    Haven't recorded with it yet, but, playback of any audio source with headphones sounds....exactly like the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 I had it before it. LOL...I'm sure it will perform well recording...I've heard it has very low latency. My biggest like is the fact it has 2 sets of speaker outputs...

    parts shopping / DAW can only use a single cpu core at a time?!?!

    I read somewhere that having a cpu with multiple cores is all but useless for most of the things your DAW will be doing like recording tracks and adding software FX and instruments.....This seemed odd to me, then I remember seeing my older Intel i5's 4 cores displayed in Cakewalk SONAR and now...

    Any considerations for adding a sub-woofer?

    I just got a new pair of KRK monitors with a 5" woofer. They are making me miss extended low end of the Yamaha HS-8's that I elected not to rebuy due to the $$ difference...I like everything about these KRK's except the less low end. I'm in about a 20' by 15' or so small room...KRK makes...

    How often do you do it? In a dense mix of quadruple tracks guitars, bass and drums in a rock tune that has that going on for about 8 bars before the vocals come in..do you subtley drop the bussed guitars down in volume to make room for the vocals to stand out?....Speaking of which, how do you...

    where to buy or how to build 'wall of guitars' wall unit?

    I've always thought it would be cool to have a wooden 'wall of guitars' display unit, like you see in this pic.....is there a place for a non-business (indvidual) to buy something like that, or maybe plans to make something similar? So much more cooler than a mounting a guit holder to a plain...

    USB port not powering device

    I have an Akai MPD16 pad, that can run off USB power...I couldn't get it to power up in either USB ports on the PC...Akai support says it's very possible the ports aren't supplying enough juice to power it...I thought this sounded fishy , until I tried the box on an older pc with no peripherals...

    monitor isolation pads, do they work?

    do those auralex foam monitor pads really make a difference? ...if they do, I'm wondering if a freebie alternative of sticking a rubbery mousepad under the monitors would have the same effect?

    anyone manage a 1 U rackmount case?

    They look sexy, amongst other rack gear....squeezing just the right mobo that fits the backplane openings is but 1 challenge....Just having a single PCI slot is not an issue...that'd be for my Layla 3 g card (with the supplied riser card)....video would have to be on-board, and I've seen low...
