Hi, so I've got a pretty cheap beginning setup right now in my home studio. I have a chance to get some new gear for the holidays, so I'd like to know what you recommend I upgrade. I currently have a MXL 990 Studio Condenser Microphone (I don't have a shockmount though, is that bad?) and my USB interface is a Line6 Pod Studio UX2.

I am thinking of self recording in my home. I just dont know what mic to buy and what equipment to go with it?

Hello everyone.

Long time fan, first post.

I can't believe this sh*t!

next thing we know blind people will be driving cars.

...that is the question.

Thanks in advance for your time and expertise.

I am having problems getting the dreaded Windows 8 to recognise my Scarlett 2i2. All the software and up to date drivers all load in successfully, I've tried all the 2 USB ports supplied in my ASUS 501 x laptop.
ive tried disabling Realtek sound that comes with Windows 8.
Should I remove Realtek ?

With the Gen 3 i5 3570K cpu comes HD 4000 video
So on my new DAW build does it behoove me to not run a separate video card ?
In addition to being the main DAW for the new studio,
there will be some video work and rendering etc done on this machine for soundtracks, videos etc.
But No CG or other extreme stuff.

Hi,

A few years ago I played a show with a few of my closest friends. We played a song we wrote at our university. Since then, we have all gone on to other parts of the world and have not been able to play again together. However, a friend of ours recorded the song with his digital camera, and the quality isn't that bad. The instruments: guitar, banjo, 3 vocals.

Hi all
I am about to buy a new audio interface as I am no longer really happy with the Delta 66 + Omni I/O. Latency is the main issue.
Here's the environment I am working with:
PC running on Win 7 64 Bit, Gigabyte P55-UD3 Mainbaord, 8GB RAM, UAD2 Quad Card

hello! I'll start by saying i've personally owned Soundcraft 6000, Delta, Ghost. Sounctracs Topaz, AMEK Tac Magnum, Matchless, Scorpion, Bullet. every Ramsa.
