I was wondering if I can hook a pair of monitors up to my regular soundblaster sound card. The monitors I am interested in are the KRK RP5 Rokit Powered Monitors. Also, would I buy two powered speakers or how would I go upon this and what would I need for cabling to monitors from the computer? Thanks

I thought perhaps folks would be interested in reading this article, and then commenting on it. Although the author talks about the pop single per se, (NOT Classical Music directly) a lot of it could apply to recorded music in general for the rest of us. Take a look, if you have a moment, and read the article below:

Up until very recently, I was addicted to the control surface. Any automation was done via 9 smooth faders and FX automation with the twist of a knob.

Hi! I am trying to record some guitar tracks with my new PC

Ok, first let me fill you in,

I run

Guitar > Effects > Line 6 amp > Direct Out > Soundblaster 24bit Soundcard

Hi there,

I seen Kurt recommend the Littlelabs Distro and such, but they are extremely expensive.

Are there any out there that are a little less money and still work half decent? Thanks!

This is a dumb question! How do I safely run a guitar head through my board. I'm guessing with a DI Box, but can you safely just run out of the heads main out into the line in on the board?

If I need a DI what do you advise on?

So what's everybody using to distribute their headphone mixes? Right now I have a Behringer headphone amp, and I really don't like the sound quality.

Any suggestions on an upgrade to use with a Digidesign 002?

I am looking to put my old PC out to pasture and am trying to build a new one myself. After digging around here I think that this would be a pretty good direction to start in and would still leave room for more upgrades in the future. If you would be so kind as to let me know what you think and tell me if I've left anything out, it would be much appreciated.

Hey Everyone, when you've got some free time (how's right now? lol) and feel like listening to my work check out:

Keep On and Clarity are especially good. I wouldn't complain if you checked all the songs out though. There aren't many.
