As mentioned in a couple forums, I'm rebuilding my living room stereo from various components to try for something a little more visually interesting and modular than the standard stack-of-boxes approach. There's a bunch of Stanton mixers being phased out right now, and the prices are hard to...

I'm thinking of trying something weird and replacing my ollllld home stereo with a mixing console and a medium-end set of computer speakers, patching all my various components (record player, CD player, radio tuner, cassette deck, shortwave radio and an FM wireless hookup to my computer in the...

I couldn't figure out what thread to put this in. My ancient (20+ years) Sensui amp just crapped out on the left channel, and it's near-on impossible to get parts for it (or so I'm told -- I'm no repair guy). Instead of just buying another amp, I've been thinking about picking up some good...

What I've mainly been doing with my audio equipment is recording books on tape, reading-for-the-blind type stuff. So I've been running a standard crap condenser mic (an old Electrodynamic that cost $70 back in 1989 or something) through an old Fostex X-26 multitracker that no longer records...

Arrgh. I reinstalled CEP on this computer a good six months ago and tonight, for the first time, I realized I didn't save the old CD-burning plugin anywhere. Is it archived anywhere online for download? - Matt Shepherd

Rather than cross-post, I'll just direct you CEP experts to my post in the Newbies forum: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?p=1109330#post1109330 I'm perplexed and desperate. Help? - Matt

I don't know what's happened to me... I had the Delta 44 up and humming on my old XP box, using it mostly as a convenient way to dump field interviews into the computer and make documentaries using Cool Edit Pro 2.1 For whatever reason, I just can't get everything rolling on my new XP machine...

Salut le monde, Just wondering if anyone on this board hails from the province of Quebec and has actually bought 703 somewhere. I'm looking to tinker with a modest-sized room (8' x 13') in my finished basement and try to make it "interview-worthy" more than a full-on studio space. I've been...

Please help. I'm baffled. This may sound totally crazy, and I really don't get it at all. Then again, I'm a caveman. Okay, I have a Delta 44 and Cool Edit 2.1 installed. I'm running an interview (in mono) from a Minidisc (Sony RZ900) into inputs 1 and 2 from the headphone jack. Volume is...

Here's a new one... I'm working on some stuff and want to record some phone conversations. I've tried jacking a phone clip (phone jack to 1/8" mono male) into my Minidisc recorder (Sony RZ900) while talking on the other phone, and three things happen: 1. The conversation gets recorded; 2. I'm...

Hi all, I'm doing a fair bit of field recording now with a Sony MD recorder (RZ900), and when I dump it into my computer (using a Delta 44 sound card), it is invariably vewwy, vewwy quiet. I've been having to normalize using software (Goldwave) to bring levels up to normal. Does anybody else...

I feel like a real dork asking this, but I'm trying to record from a very low-level source (a vewwy, vewwy quiet interview on MD) into N-track through a Delta 44. I've got the volume on the MD and all the input/record levels jacked up on the Delta Control Panel and Windows. Is there anything...

Okay, here's the deal: I've been working on this books-on-tape project and a radio project lately using a Sony MD recorder. The radio project largely consists of walking around and talking out loud while recording myself with an MD recorder in my jacket pocket for future mixing and...

Hello to all, especially Canadianaianais: I've got an old X-26 that has been languishing in the basement for about five years (blushes in shame). I tooled around with it a lot in high school and university, but home recording has fallen by the wayside in recent years. Well, I broke it out last...

(Crossposted to General - Computer & Sound Cards) I did a few searches and tooled around the forums for a few hours trying to find something that answers this precise question, but no dice. Here goes: I'm a relative newbie using n-track and a Delta 44 on a 1.1G Duron (I know, I know) with...

(crossposted to n-track forum as well) I did a few searches and tooled around the forums for a few hours trying to find something that answers this precise question, but no dice. Here goes: I'm a relative newbie using n-track and a Delta 44 on a 1.1G Duron (I know, I know) with 256M RAM on...

Hi all, I'm a newbie, total amateur, and kind of a schmuck, so help me out here... Mainly I'm interested in just recording my voice, reading. No instruments and nothing too loud. Rather than try to make a soundproof room in my house with stuff all over the walls, I've been thinking about...

Looking for recommendations for a good under $50 mic for, well, reading. "Books for the blind" kind of dealy, so I do lots of character voices, and when characters in the books SHOUT it still gets kind of loud. I'm not sure if this is an important enough distinction from singing to warrant its...

Okay, time to swallow my pride. I haven't had much time in the last couple of weeks to try to figure out my new M-Audio Delta 44, but now that I'm trying, I feel stoooopid. I have a pretty decent (despite being a Duron) computer on the go: 1.1 gig, 384 MB RAM, etc. The card plugged in OK, the...

Hi all, I have a Sony MZ900 recorder, and want to use a friend's lapel mic with it. The lapel mic, though, is battery-powered, and the MD recorder supplies plug-in power to mics. What should I do? Plug in batteryless, or plug in with battery? Can the mic nuke the whole system if it has power...
