THere's some trouble on the interface front for me, my ensemble is installed to the mac pro tower, it was relatively straight forward too. I've got the Apogee Maestro link on my desktop and as far as the 4 XLR inputs and the 2 jack DI's go it's great to work with, I haven't really looked far past those 6 inputs yet.

So far i setted up my mic with the audio interface and that to my laptop. When i play music from Ableton live 8 through the interface to my headset there is a major distortion. Let me make this clear i know absolutely nothing.I don't know what to do. Please help me.

My gear is setup to record into my PC. All works well, except that my input is extremely low (as seen within my DAW). Do I need an amp to boost my signal just before it enters my PC?

Here's my setup:

Microphone (Shure SM58S) --> Mixer (Behringer Xenyx X1622USB) --> PC Win 7, recording with GoldWave software (using USB cable from mixer to PC)

Hi There,
I have a bit of a problem. I have my own project studio (24 track hard disk and a 48 channel mixer with a bunch of hard synths). I use Sonar and Sibelius for everything.

Greetings everyone ! I'm (of course) new here but have experimented in home recordings since '05.
I have a small DAW in a spare bedroom. Im PC and run Sonar 5 (yeah, thats old), but its mostly for song creation and being able to play along with.
I've just recently retired from the "bar" scene as a guitarist, and have 4 PA speakers.
2) JBL JRX125

Hey I'm Matthew,
I wanna start recording my own music but i want to make ALL of it my own.
Now i have an interesting idea here so bear with me lol.
I found a cheap lil piece of recording equipment and i'll add the link or pic of it once ive typed all this.
This is a Guitar USB chord. 

I'm looking to record without Micing an amp or using desktop/software amp modelers. Would this be possible, correct to do this for signal chain:

Guitar > Guitar Cable > Guitar Rack Preamp (ADA MP1 or Marshall JMP1) > Stereo Cable > Apogee Duet FireWire Interface Line In > MacBook Pro > DAW

I'm looking at upgrading both my internal and external HDD drives to add some storage.
Both Seagate and WD 2TB models.
I've been seeing mixed reviews of the Seagate models (both internal and external)...
They're primarily positive. But the XHDs seem to have issues with cooling, and both issues with failure / not being recognized.
