I read a great reply to a different post about upgrading to an external soundcard and I wondered if this would apply to me also if I am only recording vocals over instrumental tracks and my signal chain is mic>preamp>interface>PC USB input. The songs will be mixed by the producer, I'm only adding my vocals. I record with Cubase LE.

Thanks for any advice.

Have you ever been so frustrated you wanted to pull your own hair out? Because that's how I feel now! :mad:

I am looking into the above (Audio interface eg. good mic preamp's with converters, usb, 2-8 xlr/TRS inputs without midi.

Hello,

I have a studio rig I'm fairly happy with, but I want to be able to record me and my guitar while I'm away from home, on my XP based laptop.

Question one:

Any recommendations based on the following criteria?

-<$400

Hey Guys,

I'm brand new to the recording game and was wondering what the best budget preamp/audio interfaces were for home recording. I have a new macbook pro and want to record guitar and vocals.
In terms of budget I probably don't want to spend much more than $200 as I'm also buying a mic.

Any help would be awesome, thanks :)

I have a Roland VDrums and I want to use MIDI to track my drums. Based on actual experience, what interface (hardware) can you recommend that have the least latency. I'm a Logic 8 user.

I’m looking to buy a http://www.PreSonus… PreSonus[/]="http://www.PreSonus… PreSonus[/] AudioBox USB, however I don’t know much about this stuff and I need some help.

I’m looking to buy a PreSonus AudioBox USB, however I don’t know much about this stuff and I need some help.

Currently I don’t have any studio monitors or headphones that would connect to the AudioBox, but do I really need studio monitors or a pair of headphones?

Hello,

I have had a small studio set up for editing purposes only (no recording), using PT8 LE/Mbox 2. I've since upgraded to PT9, since I need to work on higher resolution session files (96Khz+) that I record in the studio. The Mbox2 allows only up to 48Khz files, so I need to find another option to connect my monitors.

I am new to audio interfaces and I have a few questions. I know that most of these should probably go directly to Tascam as pre-sales questions, but I'm wondering about the issues in general and how the answers apply to any brand of audio interface.

1) Is the audio signal sent into the computer through the USB connection? If so, what is the purpose of the unbalanced RCA jacks?
