Alright, I've been looking at little DJ-type setups. Not really a turntable, as I have no records, but there are a few systems that you can import tracks to from a CD and there are knobs that look similar to records that make the scribbling sound, rewind, fastforward, and what have you. I don't know what I'm doing, really what I'm looking at are more toys than anything.

I'm looking for someone in Connecticut to give me lessons on Pro-Tools and Reason 3.0. I'm new to recording and looking for someone who is a good teacher and is patient. I can't pay a lot, (I am currently layed off) but will pay some. Looking for someone who remembers when they first started out, confused and overwhelmed!

I'm setting up a composing/recording setup for home. It'll be built around Digital Performer or the new Logic when it comes out, and I'll be using a lot of virtual instruments. I can get a good deal on slightly used core duo 2.16 imacs now ($1k for a 20" or $1300 for a 24") or I'm wondering if I should wait for the new generation that will be out in a few months.

I know I've posted on this subject before, but I'm just so mad at myself for not doing my homework before buying a new computer. :(
I bought a new HP desktop with Media Center, thinking it'd be a hot recording pc with my Cakewalk GTP 3, only to find the troubles that have been well documented here.

Hey there, don't know if anyone has experience with Reaktor or the above interface, but I cannot get Reaktor to use the audiofire for output, only coreaudio is showing

Any help appreciated

cheers

I need to buy a DAW to record e-guitar or acoustic guitar + voice directly into my PC, having to minimum latency possible to use live effects driven by software.

So which one is better? Mackie OS + Tracktion or M-Audio FW 410 + PT LE?

Thanks.

Hello--I have a question for those of you that are working (or have worked) in the larger facilities that hire interns. I have a nephew that seems to have a natural aptitude for engineering (his mixes blow mine away, and he hasn’t been at it as long). He also genuinely enjoys it, so I would like to see him with a career in the field.

I just bought a toshiba laptop and I'm using it for recording. My question is that I currently have my monitors about 6-8 inches away from my laptop. The reason for this is simply space on my desk. I know that around a pc monitor its bad, and more than likely the hardware in my comp. But will it react differnt to lCD screens. Should I not continue with what I'm doing?

Any good as my first condenser with CK91 Cardiod capsule?

Currently using a SM58 for vocals and acoustic guitar through M-Box 2, would the AKG be a significant improvement or am i better off saving for something better?

Does anyone have any experience with G & L guitars ? If so what do you think, pros, cons, etc. In particular the G & L strat styles.
I've been looking at picking up a new axe, and lite upon G & L, I saw some in a store, they sound ok, but that's just in the store, so really can't tell.
