Hey all, So I'm in a bit of a rut. It's the old monitor vs headphone debate again, and of course no matter what I read it comes out as monitors on top, as it should. But the problem is when I read this, they never seem to take into consideration people's situation. My bedroom is my "studio"...

I remember reading (I think) in the manual for my 18i6, that you should take the power lead out when you're not using it or haven't been using it for a while. I imagine it's them covering themselves. If not, they could have at least put a switch on the thing.

Yeah, I messed up there pretty bad. I was thinking somehow I'd find some guys that have made it using tin cans and string somewhere... Incase anyone else replies, I think the most important question is are you happy with everything? Does it still put a smile on your face from when you first...

Great to hear all your thoughts guys! @CrowsOfFritz, that's a damn good point. I don't know why, but with guitar/audio type of thing, I always see it as not being what you can afford but rather what you deserve, if that makes sense. Then again, I always tend to put myself down, which leads to me...

Hey guys, So I have a problem. I'm the type of guy who always wants the best equiptment you can get. I saved up for a Fender Twin Reverb RI (Which I love), I'm not saying this to brag, just as an indication. But the problem is with recording, it seems 10,000 times more expensive for all of the...

I think it's meant to have it, I just can't for the life of me find it! This is coming from a guy who built his PC too... It's annoying that more laptops don't have Firewire, I'd written off my laptop for recording because of that. For instance, if I wanted to record my drums, I'd have had to...

The USB thing was a major plus. As I'm not a Mac user, my laptop doesn't have the Firewire as you said. So it's nice that I'll be able to plug in and mess around on there. Unless I've missed it on my mobo, I can't see the Firewire port at all, which is odd. I'm hoping to get it by the weekend...

Hey man, thanks for the reply. I talked to a guy from the shop I was going to buy it from, who led me onto the USB versions, the Scarlette series. In the end I went for the 18i6, as it's pretty much the same as the 24 apparently, just without the VRM (Which I wasn't too concerned about). It...

Ah, alright. I'm a little slow, but I think I understand. I've changed which interface I'm looking at now, which only seems to have DSP, no option not to, so that's easy. I apriciate the in depth answer though, it's nice to know more whenever you get the chance. I doubt I'll noitice the latency...

Yeah, I won't be doing orchestral sort of loads for sure. I'm a little confused here (I haven't slept, so bare with me), are you saying it's good to have the DSP when you have a lot of channels for latency issues, but not when there isn't a lot? Without going on too much, at the moment I...

Ah, that's interesting. I'm not sure what I'll do now, I'd just convinced myself against it. My reasoning for not is that I'll have my headphone feed, and I have two HiFi speakers hooker up to my PC, so pretty easily can listen to my mix through them to get an idea of a HiFi sound. And...

Hey, So I'm looking at buying a new interface. I've almost settled on the Focusrite Saffire Pro 24, but I don't know if to go for the DSP/VRM or not. To me, I can see the VRM being useful, if it really is as good as they say. I record in my bedroom, so a studio situation would be nice. But...

Ah, that's great to hear! My only quibble is deciding between the DSP and non DSP versions. I don't truely understand the DSP part, although the VRM seems helpful. I also need to buy a PCI Firewire card, due to running a system that doesn't have Firewire. I've read you have to have one that's...

Hey guys, For the past, year, maybe more, I've been trying to find an interface. I've been dragged back due to circumstances, but also due to the fickle nature of myself, and reviewers sometimes. So anyway, the Focusrie Pro 24, does anyone have anything bad to say about it? I have two mic's at...

Hey guys, So I've been recording for a few years now, nothing serious at all, just me with guitars. I've been using the old series of the UX2 from Line 6, and I'm a little fed up of the simulations, and I know upgrading will provide better recordings overall. At one time I was looking to buy an...

Hey, So I'm a noob at MIDI, especially in Reaper. My problem is when using Reasamplomatic, if I have my drum kit set up in it, the end of the notes will get cut off when a new notes comes in. I thought it was just one on note, i.e just floor tom, but if I had say, kick snare kick, the snare...

Thinking about it, I may go for a little 2 input interface. Due to some things that have come to light in the last day or so I've realised I don't really need any more, and that I can just use the two for vocals/guitar, sampling my drum kit and making beats from that, and overdubbing stuff...

Okay, I've looked at my options, and it seems the M-Audio ProFire 2626. I've looked at it before, this time due to it being compared to the Pro 40. It has a lot of ncie features, seems quality, and around £435. Opinions?

I've looked at the Presonus and Focusrite before, like the look of them alot. The Focusrite looks better visually (Which doesn't mean much, but does a bit to me) and I get the general feeling it's built better? The Echo seems nice, but I'm not sure, I can't find many reputable retailers.

Really? It's about half my budget, I'm just wondering if a bit more cash could get me something a lot better. Also it's USB?
