Why is it that when ever I read information on building a PC DAW the parts that are recommended are outdated parts? It seems that it is done with everything from Mother board to RAM?

Why are nForce 3 boards recommended over nForce 4?
Socket 754 over 939?
Single channel Ram over Double channel?
AGP graphics over PCI-E?

Hi guys,

Years ago I accidentally scored an old Altec Lansing 1567A at a garage sale for $5. Had no idea what she even was til 3 months ago. She's an old, hand wired, all tube 5 into 1 mixer/pre. She seems to be a pretty nice old girl.

I have just completed having my local electronics guy turn her into a 4 into 4 unit, for $600 dollars light($500 US)

I am probably posting this topic in the wrong Forum, but I didnt know where exactly does belong to...

I'm a newbie to the forum... But this seemed like the best place to find an answer. Here's my problem...

I'm running Cubase LE (for PC with 1GB of RAM) with Reason on a Alesis Multimix 8 USB mixing board... When recording from Reason to Cubase the recording stutters a bit, STOPS, then Cubase returns an error:

"Audio Engine Error: ASIO went out of sync"

I'm thinking of buying a Yamaha MG16/4 mixer for my small home studio. In the manual it states that the channel inserts are out of phase with the rest of the outputs on the board.

What music creation programs does everyone prefer? (Fruity Loops, Guitar Pro, etc. etc.) I currently use guitar pro, and it is alright i suppose. I want something with better instrument emulation though.

I recorded a theater event last week from the soundboard and I also recorded a track using a mic in the house to pick up some ambiance and audience reaction etc. Problem is, the seats in the house creak when you shift your weight. You can hear an example creak noise here:

Blue is running a promo to get a free Bluebird mic with purchase of a Robbie. This sound like a great deal, so I'm looking to purchase the Robbie but wanted to find out if anyone has any reviews on them. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

I'm using Audition 1.0 on an Athlon with an Echo Audio GINA 24 card. I've got an old Mackie CR-1604 with the first eight tracks going to an ADAT LX-20 (as a front end and meter bridge) then light pipe to the card. I'm recording the eight tracks into Audition with each tarck going to the left or right of four devices.
