i've been planning on being able to record live gigs besides on my project studio!
i've bought a MOTU 828 mkII, a few mics and so!
i was planning on buying a a cheap 8 pre-amp unit for recording live! already have 8 pres from my mixer! they would go to the line ins of the motu! The ones i was seeing was the m-audio octane, digimax, Behringer ada 8000 and look alikes...

i have an s950 that i love but it is my noisiest piece of equipment and the only one that doesn't have a 3 prong grounded power cord. how do i change the plug?

i have already spliced a 3 prong plug-theres white green and black wires. which one is the ground and where do i connect it on the s950? (does it just connect to a metal part on the chassis?).

Hey all!
There's one or two post regarding this unit, but was hoping to get some more peoples views on it - especially at the price.

I could just save a bit more for a 2ch Seb?
What d'ya reckon?

Cakewalk Home Studio 2
=========================

I imported an mp3 file of music to track 1.

I recorded vocals on track 2 with a microphone.

When playing back and listening to track 2 by itself, (with the mp3 music from track 1 muted); there is the presence of the mp3 music from track 1 mixed in with the vocals on track 2.

I've been making music for about 10 yrs now and I want a way to record ideas that I have. I've been in many bands, some to varying degrees of success than others...everything from "made a CD" to "played together once". Basically, I'm looking for a way to record music by myself.

Im stuck with my Alesis 3630, Ive found that trying to understand the manual is a real process within itself.
Ive been knob dicking with it for about 1yr now,and have found the good and bad in the unit,but to tell you the truth,I still have confusion when it comes time to really understanding,threshold,ratio,attack,release etc.

Im using Pro Tools LE with windows xp. I'm new to PT, but I know enough to know that D-verb ist cutting it. Any sugestions?

i have these option to choose from:

Cubase SX v.2.0
n-Track
Nuendo 2
Sonar 4 Producer edition
Emagic Logic Audio Platinum v.5.5.1
Tracktion

and all kinds of add-on's, bundles etc..

which interface would you choose?
i'm recording 60's rock, ala the Faces, the Who + plus singer songwriter and ambient music.

I've been recording with Sonar 3 for some time now, and have had very good results with it, but I keep hearing about the popular Pro Tools, used in professional studios: what is it that makes it so outstaing over the rest of the recording programs? Has it got anything that makes it special?

Hey everyone. Not too long ago I purchased a Mic and plugged it directly into my sound card. And let's just say that when I screamed into it, it only picked up a little tiny signal and sounded like a scream far, far off...obviously not enough signal for recording...Is this cause I need a preamp?
