I'm one of the unfornute guys who went out and bought
a pci-e/SLI motherboard with the intention of using it for a DAW. I also "jumped the gun" and bought a pci-e video card prior to doing my homework.

(To sum it up I took advice from SOMEONE WHO HAD NO IDEA WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT) :evil:

I'd like to get either a multi-channel preamp like Focusrite Octopre or a single channel strip.

Required:
digital output(s)

Nice to have:
compressor
tube
multi-channel

Not so required:
eq

Price: < $800 roughly.
like to buy it used if possible.

Hi everyone,

Hi,

I have a G4 733 and i wanted some opinions/suggestions on what I should do with it.

Should I sell it or use it as a server to store my audio files as a backup?

also, what would I have to do to transfer the files from the G4 to the G5?

Thanks,

OK, everybody seems to say that the Brick is a good value. I want one. However, it doesn't seem easy to find. I did find it through Sweetwater...never bought from them before though. my usual sources don't carry it.

Anyone have any suggestions? I live in the New Jersey/New York area. Also is there a better price than $399?

Thanks!

Hi all!

I have a question that I need a sure answer to, and would need reference to if possible.

I'm currently in need of a budget hardware compressor. I already have a dbx 160A and find it to be useful. But now I'm in need of another channel of hardware compression. I'm not sure if I should get another 160 or try something else. The only other quality comp I see for a good price is the RNC 1773.

is it a daw? does it sound good? for 150bucks it looks nice...is this a soundcard type mixer too? thanks

Alright here it goes, I am a 17 year old drummer who is in a band and I would like to learn more about recording instruments in general, but espically drums. I have recorded a demo in the past nd it sounded ok except for some volume issues. The help that i need is in the stereo recordind process. I do not know how to record in stereo.

I am getting an api 3124. I will be running my kick and snare through it and don't know if I should run my OH's or my 2 toms through it to take up the other 2 channels. This is my first nice preamp so I don't what would get better use out of the 3124.
