Well, I've changed my mind on getting a laptop...I think I'm going to go with a rack mount computer from sonica labs. Do they make specific rack cases for a computer system - for the rack tower, monitor and keyboard, etc?

Okay i know this is a very stupid question but if i were to buy a mixer how would i connect that to a computer like insted of (ill use it as a example)a fire wire mixer.

Hello

I own a PreSonus Firepod :D and want to synchronize usin word clock through S/PDIF conections, but I dont know what I need to buy so that I can have S/PDIF in & out on the computer :?, the less I spend is better :!: becouse I only need S/PDIF for word clock couse in the firepod I already have ADC.

Thanks for the time

G :D

Before I jump into stuff like Guitarport and things like that I decided to just test it out by buying an adapter to hook my guitar up to my computer. Right now my guitar hooks up to a Boss Mega Distortion pedal and into the computer. When I try and record it sounds great for the first 4 seconds, and then it rapidly drops in volume until I can barely hear it.

need help finding the right computer? these tips should help

HI,
you do not want the XPC laptop or a dell.

do a search on this forum for laptop. there are several good threads.

but here is the basics

Issues with the majority of new laptops.

do most people use fire wire mixers?
or interfaces with mixers?
these questions may sound stupid but I'm new to recording
i want to record stright into a computer so I'm figuring out what to buy.
I may get a Alesis firewire mixer. Does anyone use those?

I tried searching about this, but couldn't quite find what I was looking for. I've set up my monitors on stands now, but I'm concerned that the two computer screens are too far forward.

Whats up playaz and hataz,

I heard a hum/static through my monitors and headphones when using my Firepod... After a while, I eventually traced the problem to the power adaptor for my Laptop. When plugged in, there is a hum, and when not plugged in there isn't. This must be due to the ground... therefore, I'm trying to figure out the best way to solve this problem.
