Well first off I'm new to the whole audio recording scene and I know none of the slang or lingo. Right now I have a Yamaha EMX 860st and I have it hooked up to my Hewlett Packard PC with an intergrated sound card and the program I am using Audacity. As of now I'm having trouble recording just voice which I will get into that in a minute.

Hi folks - could I get a quick bit of advice please? I was in a band that now split - there were 5 of us and I was the techy guy/keyboardist/co-writer. We split about a year ago. Never had any record deals or anything. Had a good time, made some good tunes.

Guys I am new to recording, I have been reading quite much about what gear I need to have a home (bedroom) studio. My maximum budget is about $15,000, please look over the list that I made and give me some advices of what I should pick up, if there is something better. I want to make pop, rnb music.

Our church choir is going to Great Britain next year on a performance tour. We will be singing in four or five well known English and Scottish cathedrals. I have been tasked with documenting the trip. I'm all set with photographic and video equipment, but I am a newbie in regards to audio recording.

Can anyone give me advice on where or how to learn the basics of Mixing, panning, etc. Preferably, a free website or something.

Thank you

Ok here is my list of gear with all of the interfaces listed and some ideas I had to start my setup.

Hi,
I'm a court reporter from Puerto Rico. I go around lawyers offices and record depositions mostly. I'm looking to replace my standard cassetts recording system with a laptop plus an interface unit that can record a minimum of 4 diferent channels but would like to be capable of expanding to 6 when needed, looking at the Tascam USB 144 at this time.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has experiece recording steel drums and could give me advice. I am a newbie but have done live recording with rock/blues bands but never acoustic instruments.

Any insight would help.

Hi, I'm a college student and I've been writing and recording music for years. However, being on a budget, the extent of my recording has involved plugging a computer mic into the line-in of my PC and recording through Adobe Audition. The software is great, but my soundcard is lacking, which leaves me frustrated, because I would like better quality results.
