I moved into a new house and my amps are humming when I turn them on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUeRLC4z8f4 This is before I even plug the guitar in. I have checked different outlets but no change. I picked up a Monster power conditioner and tried that - it didn't improve the hum. It...

I have a pair of powered monitors that I want to attach to my US-122 unit. The monitors inputs are XLR or TRS 1/4". But I only see RCA outs on the US-122. What kind of cable to I need to hooks these up?

I am looking for a pair of KRK Rokit 8 or Rokit 6 monitors. Anyone selling for a good price? PM or email me. Thanks

I am buying my first set of monitors for home recording. There are two good local deals on KRK RP5's and RP8's where I am. I have a small studio setup at home (10x10 room) - is there any reason I need 8's over the 5's. The price is good on the 8's but still $150 more than the 5's. I record...

I have a small studio setup in an apartment bedroom and am looking for my first set of studio monitors. Is 8" too big for my setup - I don't want to sell myself short on bass response but also don't want to spend money for size I don't need. Where I live there are good deals on a couple Used...

I am recording with a Macbook laptop and am considering recording direct to an external hard drive to conserve hard drive space. Will this affect latency if I use Firewire 800? My plan is to save and record everything directly to the external so I am never saving anything to the internal HD...

I am looking for Digital Performer (MOTU) since AudioDesk isn't cutting it. Anyone have a copy they want to sell? PM or email me. Thanks

Does anyone have EZ Drummer for Mac they want to sell? Preferably a newer version since I use Leopard. PM or email me. Thanks.

Does anyone know some good drum kit plugins that work for GarageBand ? I am recording mostly rock music in MOTU's AudioDesk, which does not support virtual instruments. I plan to work-around this by recording the drum tracks in GB and importing them into AD to record the rest of the tracks...

I just switched to a Mac for the first time and am using AudioDesk with a MOTU Ultralite. I am new to both the MOTU and the software - does anyone have experience with AD? Can anyone recommend a good drum plugin / VST that works with Audio Desk (or another cheap way to get decent drum tracks)...

I'm a recording newbie and need advice on mics for my Laney combo bass amp and Rivera 55W guitar amp. Currently I have a SM57 and a condenser KSM27. I just acquired a Motu Ultralite interface so am anxious to start recording. Is there another mic in the 57's price range that will work well...

I am about to do by first PC build - I want to focus on music recording capability. Other than that, I'd only use for basic web-surfing; don't care about gaming. I want to stay at $500 for the system (no monitor). Looking at Used components to keep cost down. I use a MOTU Ultralite firewire...

I have a Shure KSM27 condenser mic and want to lay down some tracks for electric, acoustic, and bass guitar, as well as vocals and a 5-string banjo. I have come across a great deal on a Shure SM57 dynamic mic and am thinking about picking it up. For recording the bass with my 60W bass amp...

Someone has offered to sell me a used Boss Dr-5 drum machine for cheap. I've been doing some home recording and want to find something to record drums cheaply. Can I use this machine to record the drum parts for punk songs by bands like the Ramones and Rancid? What would the drums even sound...

After some research I have decided to go with a Vox Tonelab amp modeler for home recording (sorry Pod fans). The tube used in the modeler's circuitry as a power amp tube is a very cheap "12AX7/ECC83 dual triode vacuum tube." While the tube does apparently work, contrary to some feedback that...

I have moved to an apartment and can no longer mike my guitar amp externally for computer recording without angry threats from neighbors. I am trying to find out the next best way to continue to record guitar directly - my budget is around $300. I record through a Tascam US-122 MIDI interface...

I have a Peavey Classic 50/212 Tube Combo Amp and had a question on how to record directly from the amp into my computer. Because I live in an apartment, I can't really mic my amp externally because it will be too loud for my neighbors. When I record bass guitar with my bass amp there is a...

I have a Laney bass combo amp that has an XLR Direct Inject (DI) feature - I am a little unclear as to what this does but I assume I can run the amp straight into my Tascam US122 Audio Interface w/ an XLR cord and record on the computer capturing the amp's sound without actually having to mic...

A newbie here - just purchased N-Track upon realizing that my previous software which did not support ASIO drivers was the reason for the severe latency problem I was experiencing. I record with a Tascam US-122 Audio/MIDI interface, and I went with N-Track for its ASIO support (and low price...

I recently asked for advice on a latency problem I'm having with my Tascam US-122. I am using a cheapo recording software (Acoustica Mixcraft) and I don't doubt that this is part of the latency issue. However, the fix I sought to implement was to disable input monitoring altogether through my...
