Hey guys. I am new to the forum here, so I hope I am posting this in the right place.

I am currently working on building a small studio for both audio and video productions. I started off with tinker toy type programs on my PC like Pinnacle, and have made my way up. I have no pro training, just what I have been asking on forums and reading in books.

I live in a small town so i will not have any competition so for now i dont need something "special". I was thinking to buy this:

HD|C24 Pro Tools Studio Bundle

Im looking to buy a new interface, move up from the stereo one i have now, Any comments about the performence of the unit, or suggestions of other units i should get

I dont Run any other USB devices on my laptop and i only have a 4 pin firewire port, but i can get a PCMCIA card for 6 pin if anyone has a firewire interface in mind that blows this one away

Thanks everyone.

Hello all,

I am looking for a simple solution to record acoustic guitar (perhaps a bit of electric too) though an iMAC (2.0 GHz processor with 1GB memory) using GarageBand. I’ve been playing for quite some time and just want a simple/inexpensive solution to capture my practice sessions.

I’d like to be able identify an audio interface to support the following:

I apologize for any lack of equipment knowledge, half of it isn't mine.
Here is our setup.

Band = Voice through shimsham PA
Guitar through halfstack
bass through amp and cab
drums live

I was looking into getting a pair for my small home project studio. Is this a good idea? I was also looking into Genelec speakers but IDK.

Hello all

I am set to begin a project this week end on an Otari Concept One 64 ch. Having never used one before I was wondering if there is anything I should be aware of -quirks particulalr to this specific board. The owner of the studio is cranky and I dont want any unneeded flak.

Thanks to all

For many years, I have recorded my Wind Ensemble with multitrack cassettes and then DATs. It seems time to move into the 21st (or even at least 2oth) century. However, I start looking at the different options and get completely overwhelmed, not being familiar with the current trends.

I have to use headphones for basic recordings of guitar, vocal..ETC:
I can only use monitors at certain times due to were I'm living at the moment.
I have to due a basic eq of the guitar, vocal,etc. thru the cans...then due a total eq and mix thru the monitors when I can.
What I don't want, is an eq thats really..OFF. due to doing it thru the cans.

All of this stuff ties my head in knots. I don't know very much about recording. I've made a few tracks in the past. The problem is that its sooooo motherloving frustrating. I end up wanting to hang myself with my guitar lead.
