So after buying a new monitor and videocard, I decided i dont want to upgrade my fairly outdated system with stuff that will be useless when i have to upgrade my mobo/processor. .

So. i decided to upgrade my mobo/processor...

first off, great site, I'm in awe of all this knowledge. my problem is that I'm trying to sample vinyl and I'm running my turntable through a super old school reciever that's connected to a usb compatible mixer. the mixer has two usb outputs plugged into my mac and ive just been using soundtrack as my recording software.

Right now I have a Behringer XENYX 802 mixer and an AKG Perception 100 large diaphragm condenser microphone and it's goin through my computer. I was wondering if I bought a preamp if it would boost my sound quality up any? I have good quality now BUT I was recording in a studio that was top notch equip.

Hey I have two 12's that I want to use for the studio. But Do I need a special kind of amp or reciever to run them? I tried hooking them up to my amp and I got all the sound coming through the speakers when all i wanted was the low end. Can somebody help?

Ok,
I'm actually getting into this now. Then a thought came to me regarding the project's completion and money. I really don't know much about how music for games is organized on a payment level but from what I know:

*Almost all music for games are Work for Hire
*Music for games is not monitored by any P.R.O. (Performance Rights Org.)

I'm looking for good cheap speakers that'll handle 75-150 watts well. I'm looking to use them for a small room as monitors or loudspeakers. I own a Crown CE 1000 so speakon in's would be great. Price range around 50-150 each. Also, I don't care if the case sucks, I can build new ones.

And I'm looking at the Kustom KPC 10M. Anyone know if its any good?

Hi everyone, I just recently bought bough some equiptment to record a few songs on my computer...I have been recording on my computer for a while now, but I have 2 things that really drive me crazy about my setup that maybe you guys can help me with.

After recording a couple of songs using all 8 channels, when I rewind back to the first song

while listening to some radio songs that have acoustic gtr's in them with typical strummed chords i noticed the sound/tone was very crunchy and almost half muted of sorts(almost like an unplugged electric being strummed) and well found it very pleasing. in contrast MY acoustic gtr sounds very full and chimey like you would expect an acoustic to sound.
