Ok, so I'm a newbie here who is very very wet behind the ears and could use some guidance. I currently own a small A/V design firm and do very well. I typically design commercial 70v audio systems and do a lot of video designs for everything from basic tv setups for bars and restaurants to high-endtele-conferencing systems for corporations.

Hi, Im seriously thinking of buying a tablet & running Cubase 5 with windows XP.
Im using a Phonic firewire mixer as an audio interface.
I want to use XP so my old plugins will work & also my mixer only has XP drivers.

Does anyone have any experiences with running a DAW on a Tablet computer and what are some issues I should look out for?

Wondering if I put my EMU E6400 sampler or a Yamaha MG 16 mixer on slider drawer in the same rack as the DAW ( PC on bottom Emu/ mixer a couple of spaces above it )
Would there would be any noise, hum etc picked up by either ?

I am running out of rack space trying to keep things within arms reach.

I'm helping a piano/violin teacher set up a recording system. Her technical skills are somewhat limited, so I wanted to get some input about what DAW I should set her up with. She needs basic audio features, and I would like to set her up with some nicer MIDI features. Most of her recording will be MIDI. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

I was just wondering how everyone goes about Talk back in thier systems?
What signal chain, hardware and config you use.

Is it common to run a GEQ pre the headphone amp to EQ vox for the singer's comfort?

I'm looking at a Dell Studio XPS 7100, Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit, AMD Phenom II X61045T Processor, ATI Raedon HD 5450 1GB Video Card, 6GB DDR3 RAM, and a 1 TB 7200RPM HD with a 16MB Cache. I plan on putting an M-Audio 1010LT in it. For software I'll be using Pro Tools (M-Powered) and Reaper.

Hey everyone, just have a quick little question about my daw. I have a Lexicon omega but no Cubase so i'm using reaper with it. Is it possible to record more than 2 tracks at once? and if so how can I? I'm trying to record my drum set and i need more than two inputs going at once. and no i don't have a mixer. Thanks a lot for all the help!

• Focused on sounding better than the infamous ITB sound of the last decade?
• Striving for a more spacious organic analog sound without buying an analog console?

Everyone needs at least one high quality stereo tube pre and one high quality stereo FET pre-amp in the chain. Now that I have those, here is an excerpt of what more I can do with them:

When is a plugin not plugged in? And are DAW's more temperamental than we think?

Hi guys. In the very near future I'm gonna finally break the chain and get a Digital Audio Workstation. (yay) Its all going to be on a shoelace beginning which is fine since I'm going to have to school myself in this platform. Which ever its going to be.
