I have a firepod 10 connected through firewire to my pc (win xp).

The problem is that when turn on the computer and firepod everything works perfectly and then always out of nowhere the sound vanishes. That can happen eg. when listening to music/watching a movie/recording music.

Probably a dumb question, but I'm doing scratch tracks to send to my drummer so that he has something to play to in the studio. The bandmates found the tempo for an uptempo song to be at 104 whereas I'm clocking it at around 200 here at home.

I think they were counting 1 (click click click) 2 (click click click) 3 (click clickk click) 4 (click click click)

I'm looking for something to record acoustic instruments and probably act as a drum mic occasionally. Acoustic instruments are by far the more important use for me. Guitar and Violin mostly. Thanks!

My other mics are a RODE NT1A and an SM58.

Yes, I know this has been asked a billion times before, and I HAVE done my research reading many posts, but I want to ask again (it's not because I'm annoying):

I know the Firepod is a few years old now, but I have a chance to pick one up used for a good price. How does it stack up to newer interfaces (lets say ~$300)?

I don't need 8 preamps, but at the price I can get it at it seems like a steal. I was considering the audiofire 4 before coming across this deal.

Hi,

There was an absolutely -fantastic- post here a while back that I cannot now find. It was an attempt to analyze the MIDI timing of various styles of drum grooves. It showed specific examples of where one ought to place kick/snare/hat ahead or behind beat to create many popular feels.

Can someone give me a link to this?

THANKS!

I recently purchased a Fender Supersonic head. I know valve amps are noisier than solid state but the clean channel on the amp, especially the Bassman setting has lots of background hiss. Even with no guitar plugged in and the volume completely off, there is a hiss that is very loud. The lead channel is fine and I have checked cables, different speakers, different wall socket, etc.

I am looking for a Digital Audio Interface but I only have around $200 to spend on it right now. What would you say is good for my settup I have thus far?

Mic: MXL 992
Preamp: Tube MP Project Series
Amp: Behringer Ultraacoustic ACX1000
Interface: M-Audio MIDISport 1x1
MIDI: Yamaha PSR-275

Hello there,

I recently have gotten a new computer and it has been a nightmare trying to get things working. I have had it for about a month and have yet to record a single track because nothing is working properly. I will try to be as detailed as possible and hopefully can find solutions.

The comp specs are:

Brand: Dell Studio XPS
