Hi.. have a nice PowerBook (it's loaded) that I'd like to use to record live DJ sets (from the mixer).. I'm aware of all the expensive solutions (Logic Plat 6), but wanted to solicit the insight of this forum before spending the cash. I'd like to steer clear of known issues and limitations, as well as be apprised of cheaper but "just as good" solutions.

I know this isn't the XP hotline, but maybe Opus will grant me this one post if I promise it will be my only XP post?

Hello,

Thanks to all for your input on building the studio.

I'm going to go the computer route. However, I've got a bunch of stuff that I'd like to record asap in highest quality form that I can burn to CD, while I complete the longer term goal of building and learning the computer system.

Introduced at the current AES in Netherland.

I have a session coming up and it is the biggest one I've had so far. My big problem is that I am using only the 4 buses off my mixer into my computer but the band Im recording wants to do everything live, without overdubs. this would be fine if it was a smaller band but I need to mic drums (4 mics) a keyboard, guitar, bass, and vocals. I was wondering how i should go about it.

Hey everyone! :) Just thought I'd ask for a few informal pro opinions on a guitar cabinet mod I've been thinking about. Here's what I've got: Fender Stage 100 head and Crate GX412S Cabinet. The Fender sends either 100 Watts @ 8 Ohms (mono) or 160 Watts @ 4 Ohms (dual/stereo).

I believe I have managed to get a pretty decent drum sound/mix for my current project. It's sampled sounds, played by a real drummer. I'm quite happy with Kick, Snare, Hats and the Cymbals. My only trouble exists with the toms.

Quick question:

A woman I work with did an interview with a customer using her laptop to capture audio.

She used a cheap mic, and to make things worse on the recording you can hear the hard drive spinning up. It is pretty loud. Actually probably 75% of the volume of the voice.

Any recommendations on lowering the level of the hard drive whir?

Thanks!
