Why You NEED a Digital Audio Interface! (with clips)

I just got my FireBox back from the repair shop and I thought I'd do a little side by side comparison. I compared the sound quality of plugging directly into my computer's onboard soundcard and plugging into an interface so that newbies/home recorders/hobbyists can hear exactly what the difference is and can come to their own conclusions.

Help i'm being attacked by digital distortion

OK first of all my set up is a Tascam us-122 and my onboard sound card realtek 97 using the asio4all driver. ok so I start recording or playback and after a few minutes (it varies) I start to get digital distortion, at which point I go to preferences change the driver to someting other then asio4all then back to asio4all (if that makes sense) and the distortion goes away for a few minutes.

need help recording digital piano

Hi there! Here's my deal:

I have a Yamaha P-155 digital piano, and I'd like to record it onto my Macbook Pro, through the use of my Lexicon Lambda USB interface. But I don't want to use MIDI - I want to record the actual sounds from the keyboard. The keyboard has an "aux out" on the back, with R and L/L+R jacks, as well as MIDI terminals and a USB to device connection.

Running Digital Performer through Reason and back

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone knows how to work this out.. I'm currently running Reason in ReWire mode through DP. But what I want to do is use some of the signal processing that Reason has to offer, but no Reason channels appear in the outputs available for DP, only in the inputs. So, does anybody know how I would have to go about this?

Thanks!

Digital audio files: formats, structures, time stamps, etc.

I have to confess that my knowledge of digital audio formats and the structure of various files is, at best, spotty. I'm going to have to swap files with people adding tracks to some base tracks I am recording, and I'd like to, uhh, actually know what I am doing. Can someone direct me to a reliable book, website, etc. where I can learn the details.
