Hello, I am putting together an album of opera arias and I am currently negotiating with three different karaoke companies to license some of their karaoke backing tracks for these arias. Because all of the operas I am considering are in the public domain (had to exclude Turandot, sadly) I don't believe I need to obtain a mechanical license. Is this correct?

Hello!

I'm looking for the best professional ready-to-go audio workstation, a strong PC laptop... I'd like it to be ultra-compatible with music production/recording software, and audio interfaces... I'd like it to be powerful (core i5 or i7). I'd like it to be the most silent possible...

I am curious if anyone has done this with success. I have read the manual that comes with it and it states that you can plug the speaker tap from a tube amp directly into the amp input and put the switch to "speaker" mode and it will safely record amps up to 1700w and it doesn't matter what ohm tap you use from the output transformer's secondary.

I am new to audio interfaces and I have a few questions. I know that most of these should probably go directly to Tascam as pre-sales questions, but I'm wondering about the issues in general and how the answers apply to any brand of audio interface.

1) Is the audio signal sent into the computer through the USB connection? If so, what is the purpose of the unbalanced RCA jacks?

Hey people, I hope all is well and am glag to be here part of a site so interactive for the love of music. I bought this set up a while ago with a buddy, he used it all last summer and did not get much done, so I bought his half and now I have the equipment.

I run an AKG Perception 220 condenser mic through a Tascam US - 122 MK usb 2.0 Audio/MIDI interface with Cubase LE 4.

For those of you who man 'the Hotline' - maybe it's just me, but have you noticed a disturbing trend (even more than usual)?

I'm continually shocked by how many newcomers prefer to ask advice from a forum of strangers, rather than read the downloadable manual, or do any research - or experimentation on their own.

Like they say:

Could anybody give me 10 minutes advice on how to use Facebook to market? Happy to swap my limitless knowledge on colorful guitar straps and playstation games.

Hi,

I'm looking for an improvement to my current PA. I'd like the system to be able to run a full mic'd up 6-piece band (drums, bass, guitar x 2, keys, vox x 3) with decent effects, switchable via MIDI. Playing to halls of approx 100-300 people.

Hey all,
