I would like to pan monitoring in the headphones while I am tracking, but there appears to be no way to do this. I can pan once the track is down, but not during tracking. I have tried fiddling with all of the settings I can think of.

Is there no way to pan the signal while tracking in Cubase?

I saw this: Behringer ADA8000 and wanted know the preamps are any good AT ALL. and also could I connect it to a interface such as M-Audio Fast Track Ultra?

Thanks!

For normal recreational listening, are there any advantages/disadvantages to listening through speakers versus monitors.

From what I understand normal stereo speakers color the sound in pleasurable ways, to make the sound more warm and fuzzy. Also, aren't monitors are designed to provide clarity, even sounds across the spectrum?

I was planning to get a usb interface so I could record someone on location with a laptop (I currently own a dual core pentium 2.0, with 2gb ram and a 5400 hard disk, I know it's not nearly what's required for heavy-duty performance, but I was hoping it could at least play back a reference track and record in it with the interface).

I'm in the process of putting together a new DAW and I'm looking for input components on your recent builds.

First of I will probably go with an ASUS motherboard, since they've been good before. Any recommendations on a specific board? Or which to avoid?

this may sound lame, but would a wireless keyboard and mouse somehow affect the signal in recording? I mean, would I get any sort of interference or noise when recording from any of the 2? I was planning to get a pair... they look quite comfortable!

cheers

Has anyone done a comparison between these two units? The ADI-8 QS AD/DA Converter looks fuller in features but how does it sound in comparison to the Aurora 8?

I am having trouble with a fellow who plays a Showbud pedal steel guitar. He is not happy with the sound he is getting from the guitar ( a high 2.5 - 4K raspy sound ).
I have tried to remove some of the frequencies with the EQ and removing the high-endoff the amp,,, any suggestions, other than telling him to buy a new steel?
Any help would be appreciated.

So Ive had this problem awhile but it comes and goes...but Im sick of it now.

I figured out the problem, everything's working fine now. Thank you for the advice ^^
