Ok folks..the third installment of our ever so popular discussion! PC BUILDING! YAY! WOOHOO! HIP HIP HOORAY!...ok, I'll calm down now! lol
So, we talked about Mainboards, CPU's, Power Supplies, how to configure the drives and CDROM's and Floppy drives...now we talk ABOUT the Hard Drives and CDROM's

Found this page of links and had to pass them on.
Lots of info here for all!

I'm recording: Fender Precision bass -> 12' Monster Cable -> M-Audio Omni I/O -> Delta 66 -> PC Windows 255 RAM, 750 Pentium III -> Vegas LE.

I'm getting a low hum (60 cycle?)

- Will a DI box fix this.

I have an opportunity to purchase this board from a reputable dealer for a good price. This board is WAY more than I need. I was going to go with an Allen & Heath 16 channel Mixwizard. The Mixwizard has enough features and inputs for me, really! How does the Solo Midi compare with A & H? Are the preamps and EQ better than the Mixwizard? Or should I just go with the Mixwizard.

I've been following your 2 threads on building a DAW, and I have to agree with some of the other comments...Great stuff there man! But I guess I shouldn't be surprised...

Having some problems installing my new Matrox G450 Dual Head card (32MB) ($105, Micro-Xpress). Here is a rough outline of my system (PC):

ASUS TUSL2-C mobo w/ 512MB
2 X 40GB WD ATA/100 drives
Sony CD-RW
ASUS V7100 Pro Video (32MB - AGP)
Intel PIII 1GHz CPU
Windows 2000 SP2 (with all critical patches)

Hi, could anybody advise me on this:

Hello-I was hoping some of you experts could help out a beginning beginner with this dilemma. I am looking to upgrade my drum overheads-right now I have C1000s, and even to my somewhat untrained ear they sound kind of harsh even though I have tried placing them in different spots. I have an at4033, and I like the sounds I have gotten from it better.

I would like to draw in volumes and mutes with the mouse. I can do this but it quantizes to the nearest beat and the music I'm working on is free form. I need to draw the automation without snapping to the nearest beat. I can't find how to do this in the manual.

Hey All,
Anyone using MPX 500 with upgrade chip ?
Was curious how well the compressor preforms.
Will prob. upgrade just for the additional user memory anyway,
Just curious.
Thanks, Paul T.
