I'd like to take this time to introduce myself first, or rather explain my background. For those of you who wish to skip this crap, just skip this. I'll put a line break for ya :)

Hi all,

I'm trying to use a Marantz PMD661 without the SD card by plugging it into my PC via USB. However, every time I plug the USB cable in the words "USB Connecting" appear on the screen of the Marantz device and it doesn't go away. I let it sit like that for a good 5-10 minutes and nothing changed. Is it supposed to take longer or does this sound like an issue?

Looking to to do an upgrade...would love to go intel but AMD is really inviting, $ per performance.
Has anyone had good experience with AMD system?
If so what components seem to work.

Thanks!

Any comparisons between the three listed below, please share:

Prism Orpheus
Lynx Aurora
RME FF 800

I apologize in advance for my lack of technical knowledge, I will try my best :)

We have a old 12 Channel Yorkville mixer that runs 2 self powered Mackie Speakers in a Worship environment.

Right now, there is a delay switch wired in so that the mixer turns on first, then a half second later, the powered Mackie Speakers.

I recently acquired a good condition Tascam DP-01 Hard Disk Portastudio(40GB), not the FX Model. For the line inputs there is only to 1/4" jacks ( NOT XLR) ( WTF right?). So what cables or type of preamp would I need to record via my Condenser mic ( w/ 48v)? This is my portable studio not my home studio by the way.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share with you a new online music community where artists can meet, sample, and sell their music! It's pretty so check it out! Here's some awesome info and if you have any questions I would love to help answer them. :P

Hello everyone,

I am not sure did I post this thread at the right place, but I require some help.

I bought a MBOX mini 2, which comes with Pro Tool 7.3, 7.3.1 updater and a bunch of plugins.

With windos Xp, service pack 3, internet explorer 8, my Pro tool fails to install.

Well never think you've got it all under control until you've at least tried recording a choir with a full house and no practice run. One shot to erect a stand, line your mics up and get it right gives me a new respect for these mobile engineers around here.

Hopefully this is the right place to put this,
Newbie here. I searched around quite a bit, but I honestly have not found any situations close to mine. I am part of a quartet who does some pretty hard core rock cello, like Apocalyptica and Break of Reality. We are looking to record some songs with the following equipment:
2x AKG 414
2x RODE NT-5
2x AT4040
