Hi all

Recently I switched from a notebook + PreSonus firepod (fp10) + cubase
to a Yamaha aw1600 for on location recording of jazz, choir, pop, rock

Since there have been a lot of questions on whether a beginner should buy the one or the other, here's my experience.

Well to make this quick, I need to get an external harddrive for recording, and Pro Tools doesn't support USB 2.0 drives so i'm stuck getting a firewire drive BUT, I don't have firewire on my computer, just an empty slot.

Hi.

I have a Carillon audio PC which is about 4 years old. It is a Pentium 3.2gHz with 2GB of RAM.
I would like to get a new mother board, cpu and RAM.
My budget is £170 tops!
I'm considering these so far:-

Motherboards

I'm about to buy a laptop to run Cubase and later on Mbox 2 on, and I'm down to two options. The problem is that I don't know much about computers so you could give me your advice as to which one is better of these two it would be great:

1. Fujitsu Siemens Amilo 2548, 2,2 GHz AMD Turion64 X2 TL-64
2048MB DDR2 (2x1024MB)
250GB 5400Rpm

or

I used to run a G4 Powerbook 1.5Ghz processor, 2GB ram, external FW HD, MOTU 896HD sound card, in Digital Performer 4.5
it was a great setup i admit, but i wasn't pleased with it's "POWER"

I'm pretty much new to computer-based recording.

It's 2 Ghz and only has 256 MB RAM. I wanna upgrade it to 1 gig.

I'm planning on ditching my previous Firebox plan. I really have no idea if I'd be better off quality-wise using firewire or with PCI; I just know that PCI would be a lot cheaper for me.

Hi.
I'm hoping someone may be able to help.
I can't seem to be able to drag and drop my track mixer window in Logic

Im on my second year of sound engineering and i want to get either a laptop or a desktop for mainly recording.(I play some games too but not that important)

I am in the process of remodeling my studio/office. When I complete it I am going to record and produce an audio book. I will be recording into my pc using Adobe Audition 3(as soon as it's released). I have a Shure KSM44 for my mic. My issue is from the mic to the computer. Do I need a sound card with some sort of multiple io or a audio card with just fire wire or usb io and an interface.

I'm setting up a simple computer recording system for a friend and wanted to see what the good folks here thought of the specs on the computer he's looking at.
