Would it be better if I built myself a computer (both strictly for recording music) or bought a Quad-Core Mac Pro? I can afford the 12-core, so would that be better or what?

Hey there everyone!

Thank you for taking time to read this. Here's the situation. I want to have this quality of sound for my videos:

Christina Grimmie singing "Titanium" - DAvid Guetta feat. Sia - YouTube

All the equipment in the video, except for the Mac Desktop(I have a Macbook Pro) I own and use. The equipment is as follows:

I would like to introduce the new version 2 of the step sequencer "Lauflicht" plugin for the Novation Launchpad.

Hey guys, how u doin`? I`ve been working since last month, with Mayor elections around here. I edit and make the sound design for a specific candidate, and it`s all going to TV etc.

Since I record mainly bands, I use PT9, which is wonderful for my music recording needs. However, I see it doesn`t work for fast broadcast editing.

Alright I've read a lot and seen a lot of people get flamed, but I'm just trying to get answers.

I'll be straight forward. I want to rap, hip hop r&b type stuff. I found good reviews on the AT4050. I found a preAmp Grace m101 , a compressor dbx 160a, then I found an interface called the MOTU UltraLite-mk3.

I'm quite new to the whole audio engineering world. I've been in studios, I've watched people work on audio tracks, and I've always had a desire to start recording music on my own. Since day 1 I've had the general problem of money, I can't afford the highly priced equipment that many professional studios use.

Should I use my new RME over my ASUS onboard sound card for everyday windows usage? (Music, Games, Movies). I know it's better recording quality, but is it better audio quality than my 5.1 onboard sound?

I'm redoing my basement studio to create a better recording environment and am wondering if changing the shape of the room as I design the inner leaf walls would be smart. The room dimensions are 21L x 14W x 7.5H. The other option is to keep the wall angels as they are and use wall treatment and bass traps. Thoughts?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for suggestion for a good interface. I'm much more a performer/musician than a recording engineer, so any advice is appreciated!

Some details:

Hi. I'm trying to record my acoustic guitar through my Shure SM81 mic, to my USB Dual Pre, to my computer. I've tried Audacity and cubase, same stuff. When I press play, I get a lot of fuzzy feedback, can't hear guitar. If I turn up the gain REALLY high, I can hear the instrument a tiny bit. I don't know a lot about recording, so I have no idea what the issue could be.
