Hi, my old NEC 17" computer monitor has developed a rather piercing hi pitched intermitent noise that is slowly driving me nuts and also annoying my dog. :p It comes and goes, almost always there at start up.

Is it time to go for the flat screen?

TIA

i've recently been researching the ins and outs of home recording as it looks like i'm taking over the role of 'engineer' for my little band in a box (read people that show up in my basement to play).

there are a lot of threads on pc hardware, which do me no good because i've been working in computer hardware for 10 years now. that part is safe.

Who would like to have a cover story on their studio? I would like to promote one, maybe two a month, free for our members. You give me the goods and I'll post it on our newly designed portal.

Any takers, email me.

Hi,

Well...looky here... a new installment of building your own frankenstein...ooops...PC DAW!
keep getting my forums mixed up :p
So..now that we have the case..floppy..power supply..hard drives(whether IDE or SCSI) and Motherboard we now go on to the fun part! PCI cards and IRQ's! Oh joy oh joy! Yippee!
Now..we explain IRQ's!

It seems that it is pretty much carved in silicon that the VIA Chipsets suck. There were problems with the older chipsets, and now even the latest KT266A chipsets have been reproted to have PCI bandwidth issues.

I have a P3-500, 256mb RAM,
SB Live Plat. sound card and 2x20gig 7200rpm hd's.
I'm having latency issue and overall processing bugs as of late. Here's why I think...

I was wondering if anyone knew what a soundfont was, and how to use them.
I have an old soundblaster card, and though it isn't the best quaility card on the market, it suits my present purpose.

Hi! Anyone know of any CD's done all analog (CURRENT) and similar genre CD's done all digital, both having gone through decent mastering suites? Current recordings, rock,pop,dance,hip hop ,jazz,classical prefered; at least I'll have something I can add to my collection I would listen to again =) Thanks! Nikki =)
