I'm new to the recording side of audio. I have a DJ business so I'm familiar with the PA system side of audio, but no so much on recording. My family is building a new house and my dad has agreed to put a place in the basement for my band to reherse/record in. The band consists of a drummer, 2 guitarists, a bassist, and vocalist.

I have a great recording session sometimes mid-June for which I have been requested to record a piece from Steve Reich with 15 guitars.

I have an IBM T40 laptop with 512 MB RAM and a 1.5 GHz processor and want to use it for home recording.
I read in a review that the Lexicon Omega (USB audio and MIDI interface) requires at least 7200 rpm from the harddrive. Mine only runs at 5400 rpm's.
Would it still work and how well?

hi there,

What DI Box is cheap and pretty for Recording purpose ?

Is Behringer really Bad for recording?

Wassup all?
Im thinking about buying a Korg Triton Extreme and Motif ES 6. I see many websites where u can purchase sum nice custom banks.

I have modded my Micro Korg with MS2000 patches but that was via midi dump.

I have no idea how to do a sys ex dump. Can sumbody tell me how?

Hi everybody,
Just started with the recording thing and have a simple question. I bought an E-mu 0404 soundboard and so far, have had some ok results. The problem is that this board doesn't have balanced inputs, which makes me wonder if it's worth spending money upgrading my cheap preamp (PreSonus), or should I go for a better soundcard first with the balanced inputs to start with.

Hi guys, just thinking about sinking some $ into more pre's mics etc but I was wondering how much a difference real nice conversion would make. I'm running 16 channels of Delta 1010's right now. To me they sound fine BUT they are all I've ever used. Instead of getting that API 3124+ I've been jonesing for perhaps I should get 2 kick ass or 16 damn good channels of conversion.

Based on feedback I got to a post on this site last Summer I ended up buying an mBox. I have to say I'm very disappointed.

First, some background: I sold my analog recording studio when my family (2 young kids and wife) and I moved from a house to an apartment. Space is an issue, but so is time with two small kids.

Hi buddies,

I'm looking for a Acoustic Electric guitar which can do recording and Live Performance!

Any recomanded?about US$600.

Is there anything that would top a pair of "Brick" preamps for the same money?
