Hello guys, I'm a bit new to all this…please help me to make the right choice. I worked with a PC all my life but right now thinking move to Mac... going to buy a new comp (laptop) and pretty much built a home studio based on a laptop.

I apologize in advance for my lack of in depth knowledge of recording software. To preface myself and my question, I am a musician. I’ve recorded several times using Logic Pro 7, and many variations of Pro Tools, but I haven’t actually used the programs, I’ve just played my axe into them.

Hi I`m a norwegian neewbie.

I`m about to by a serious amount of new goodies.

My soundcard choice has fallen upon the PreSonus firepod, which gives me all the innputs that I need.

Now choosing mics and monitors seems to be a bit harder.

hello, i was wondering what you guys thought about the quality of sounds you can get from pro tools le plugins(compressor, t-racks eq, etc.) vs. using say a couple fairly cheap Behringer tube hardware units for compression and eq(about $129 each)? I appreciate your input.

anyone? i will be running digital performer on a mac g5 dual 1.8 with 2gb ram...

conflicts? resources enough? the good? the bad? the ugly?

any feedback appreciated

Hi Everyone

Im a new user with Wavelab 4, and I'm having problems when saving my .wavs..None of the VST effects i added to them, are there.. IT just plays the orginal recorded sample, w/ out the effects HOW CAN I SAVE .WAVS WITH EFFECTS? Is there something in the system config. i have to alter? Pleassse help anyone, who knows about this

Is it just me or is the Mini-Me built like cheap crap?

I've been using mine a lot over the past three months, and now the gain knobs are crackly, and the monitor knob is beginning to act up as well. The cheap silver paint on the body should have been an indicator, but I never expected this.

I really like the Mini-Me, but this is ridiculous.

I understand the theory behind bitrates and sampling rates, and I understand that they are correlated to resolution... but what are the benefits/downfalls from using higher/lower bitrates and sampling rates? In certain applications is it better to lower/raise them, or is it just always go for the highest number? Is it just to make smaller files?

I'm running reason into Pro Tools via rewire and record all my midi tracks that way. After I've recorded the notes I want to go back in and ad automation on a filter in reason. I've tried automating it in reason, but I can't think of anything that will work. Can I go back in and automate an effect in reason after I've recorded the midi track into Pro Tools?
