I'm kind of a beginner to computer recording, and recently bought a Delta 1010 soundcard with 8-channel breakbox. It doesn't have preamps and the only adjustable part is a button for each channel which switches from -10db to +4db signal levels (which would you generally use for direct guitar or vocal microphone?)

Here are some of the stuff I want to buy to update my current computer, does it cut the "Best bang for buck"?

Hey guys -

I've decided to start lightening my load on remotes and I thought I'd hit you guys up for ideas. Here's what I'm going to do - I'll list the stuff that I take on gigs and why. Then I'll list what I consider to be my requirements and then I want to see if any of you guys have some innovative or creative ideas.

What I take -

Hey guys-

Are any of you familiar with Sonoma at all?

I'm curious -
Within the program, can you mix down to 2 track or 5.1 (ITB Summing/Mixing)

Also, can you record at PCM and/or mix down from DSD to PCM?

Thanks!

J.

Ok, so I'm trying to upgrade my beat/music making and I'm looking at the Akai MPC. Mainly I want to make rap beats. I know that the standard is the 2000, but any opinions about the 1000, 2500, or 4000? Maybe ditch the MPC and get something different like a Korg Triton? Maybe get a used 2000 and something else with it.

Hello to all,

I need your help on clarifying some aspects of a setup I'm trying to build mostly for recording purposes.

I have recorded a conference where I could not switch of the air conditioning, and so there is a background hum in all my recordings, which are here:

So I did more research on interfaces with two ADAT inputs. I need this to use my S/MUX output on my Digimax FS (giving me 16@96k). I found the two that would suit me best (considering price and all): MOTU 8-Pre and PreSonus Firestudio.

I've been trying to pinpoint where the noises are coming from. I run all my gear through a Furman that is hooked through a UPS (to be extra anal) and the buzzes and hums got a little better but I still get sizzling. Not crackling, but sizzling.

Will hooking up something like a hum eliminator do the trick? I know it isn't a hum but could it be related?

Gear is:
