front end for daw

Hi
after years of creating music with an average pc, cheap soundcard and cracked software Ive decided to invest in a proper set up (including purchasing the programs and plugins Ive 'trialed' extensivly).

MOTU 2408 MKII playback problems - HELP?

Hi everyone, I have just replaced my PC with a new 3GHz P4 loaded up. I removed my 324 card and re installed it in the new PC. The system worked great in my old PC. In the new one however, when I record anything via the analog ins, the playback quality is very distorted. Almost like you're running your master through a marshall gained full up!

How to connect preamp to mixer?

I have a Mackie 8-24 mixer and am wondering how to connect an external preamp (when I get some).

This way I would be entering the board's input chain AFTER the Mackie's internal preamp.

G5

Actually I think I can get a cheaper G5 off of macs website than I can a G4 with 512 MB on dvwarehouse. Anyways I'm obviously gonna have to pay at lot more. I'm basically thinking about 2 of the powermac G5s, they're both pretty much a standard G5 except one has an 80GB harddrive and 1 MG of ram and cost $1,724.00 and the other has a 160 GB harddrive and 512 MB of ram and cost $1674.00.
