hi you guys

i accidentaly found this forum and i think it's a great one.
Could you guys help me to setup my daw?

it's a relatively old system and certainly a very old sound card, but i don't have the money and i think these things could make a decent enough homestudio for me to play with :)

so here's the hardware:

Im curious if any of you use a summing mixer from your DAW + UAD/TC plugs .

And if so.. any comments towards a better "warm sound" in the mix ?

Im in the process of updating my converters Apogee Rosetta 800 and was wondering if items such as TUBE TECH SSA 2A or Dangerous Music products hold up to what they claI'm their products can do.

Hi,

I decided to start this post here so everybody can benefit from it. I know that Sonica-X Tech support is here around, so I want to keep this as Technical as possible and skip all the Marketing :) I know i can have this conversation in private with the company, but again, i think it would be usefull for everybody... if not, moderator, feel free to delete this post :)

Why is it that when ever I read information on building a PC DAW the parts that are recommended are outdated parts? It seems that it is done with everything from Mother board to RAM?

Why are nForce 3 boards recommended over nForce 4?
Socket 754 over 939?
Single channel Ram over Double channel?
AGP graphics over PCI-E?

Quick one here...

Read subject... some say Home, but I see many DAW vendors offer Pro. any suggestion for Pro Audio ?

Ok. I'm going to school in the fall. get my degree in pro. recording arts. Im wanting to have a computer at home for production. Im curious as to what i would NEED pc or mac wise. Ill be using Reason 3.0, Ableton live 4, native instruments reaktor, absynth, and Cubase possibly. What do i need in a pc? what do i need in a mac? what about sound cards? ill be also using a m-audio ozone or O2.

To be honest I regret buying the Mobo, and Pro cause i could have got better ones, but I was being impatient at the time and was determined to leave the shop with something, and ended up paying £30 extra when I could have got it cheaper or better off the net, but I will just be humble and see how it goes.

Hi there,

I have posted a few times trying to get my mac to work and know i'm ready to toss it out the window! I have two computers and I'm looking for a temporary solution to get my studio up and running untill I can upgrade to a power book or dual g4 with my digi 001 or buy a digi 002.

I have:
