I remember the day I swore I would never play Pop music.
That word meant, to sell out, to stoop to the lowest common denominator. Music that takes no talent, music that is simple to play. Shallow and trendy.

A quick story.

I can go new mb and pci card route but my HP laptop with USB 2.0 seems to run great with the i7 and 8 megs ram.

Have great preamps ..Grace and UA.

I really don't need preamps but seems most USB interfaces all include them. If I go that route I'd prob go the UCX.

Seems like what I need is an ADA with usb output.

Hi, I am Ricky Di Giacomo. I am 17 years old and currently a Junior in High School. Like many of you, music is my life, my passion, and my love. I strive everyday to become better at what I do.

Hello RO'ers, I was wondering if you all would mind taking the time to critique my project studio set-up. This is the second time around that I have purchased studio equipment, the first time I discovered that I actually wasted money on things that I didn't need at the time (impulsive buys, I guess). This time around I just went for the basics. Here's my current set-up:

Hello

Well, not really emulation. Apparently there is a small loop of tape and an actual record and playback head in this thing. So, it's like a small tape saturator. Interesting. At first I thought "this is very cool". Then I thought, at $750 each I could probably by an actual 16 track ATR for the price of just a couple of these(ok, maybe three or four).

Hello RO'ers, it's been over four years since I have been on, and it feels good to be back on the site. Took a break from music for a while, now I'm back into one of my favorite passions. My question is simple, hopefully.

Hello all. I'm a first time poster and just found your site today. And I'm really in need of guidance with my current problem. I'm simply trying to connect two synths to one channel on my mixer. I'm out of inputs on my soundcraft epm8 and have a Kawai k4 keyboard and k4 m rack modual (the exact same synth) that I want to merge.

I've notice numerous times in various bar/club type places that the acceptable vocal level when the band is playing, feedsback when the stop. i just ride the fader, or hopefully find an optimal balnce, and gate setting. or turn the monitors down a bit My guess is that all the stage noise is creating some kind of nulling effect and causing cancellation.

Hi everyone

I've got the AKG k240 headphones, which I love. After 1-2 years of using them, I noticed that its left side stops working.
I must shift around the wires on top to get the left side to work again. But as I slightly move, the left side goes off again >.>
