Hi everyone. Sorry if this is an obvious question.. I've just never done this and am getting a bit confused on the best way to do it.

hell all! just thought i might get some input from all you experienced engineers.

I'm trying to do a live off the floor recording by taking the Record Tape Out on a powered mixer and plugging the 2 stereo ouputs (a Y cable) into the Line-in jack on a USB line/mic device (basically an external sound 16bit/44Khz card). The PC is a fast WinXP box with 1Gb of Ram using Audacity or Soundforge.

Hey ALl- Happy Easter everyone

I am getting way to jammed up lately with plugins and track count and my current pc is definitely maxed out. I was figuring on building (or buying) a turbo charged monster pc so that t can alleviate this annoyance once and for all.

hey all,i just ordered a new computer today. Dell XPS 420.And with the comp,i upgraded to the bose companion 3 series speakers.

i ordered a new computer, and i'm wanna use the hardware in my old one for my DAW

specs:
3.2 ghz p4
abit ic7-g mobo
2gigs corsair twinx dual chan ram
delta 1010 host card
60 gig 250 gig ide hd's
antec 300 watt ps
ati x850xt vid card
plextor dvd-rw

My old computer died the other night... after some general trouble shooting I think I have narrowed the problem down to either the motherboard (MSI k8t Neo FSR) or the CPU (AMD 64 3000+). As you can tell, the comp. was about 4-5 yrs old so I have decided to build a new one instead of trying to hunt down and replace the suspect parts.

Ok i have an Alesis iO|14 i bought a couple months ago cuz i was just playing around with recording and stuff.. and didnt want to spend a lot of money...so anyways...i just ordered a Firestudio and my Alesis interface has ADAT in. So i was wondering can i hook my firestudio up to the Alesis to add the additional 8 channels ? well untill i get more money to spend on a Digimax fs?

I currently am using my computer to record with, so far it has everything I need but I am going to upgrade the ram soon. I am running 2 gigs and I am going to jump to 4. I have a wide range of equipment from synths to turntables, live intruments, mics, digital multitracks and a multitude of processors and rack gear that through an assortment of mixers.

Well I'm really bad with all this stuff, I don't even really know what I need, okay well all I really want to do is be able to have high quality sound and songs and be able to get it on the computer, I don't really need studio quality but I want quality you can't get from a headset mic or a video camera, so basically decent quality...
