hey I'm new to the recording production business kinda started with me wanting to make a quality demo of me playing without worrying about finding an actual studio. i was wondering if anybody could give me some tips on starting from scratch i.e. what programs to look for types of mics, computer adapters, etc.

thanks

i am triggering theater sound effects and musical interludes during live performances and I would like to bring my laptop into the picture. I want to trigger the fx via midi keyboard and have a better quality audio OUT than the stock sound card

would you use a PMCIA card type interface or a USB type?
the smaller the device the better.

thanks

Hello,

Hey Ro'ers I need some solid advice on the best possible notebook for recording on location as well as occassional use in my studio. Right now I am working with a PC notebook and I can do the jobs that I need to do with it, but I find that I am hindered by not being able to use as many plugins as I would like because it just isn't fast enough.

Hi there,

I wish to build my next DAW using a laptop in conjunction with a firewire multitrack recorder. Has anybody gone down this route, and could you tell me what I should be on the lookout for?

I need to be able to record 8 tracks simultaneously as well as use this for midi production with soft synths.

Hi Guys,

I'm going to be living in India most of the time and will be setting up a recording / editing / production studio there. Coming back to the USA about 3 months of the year.

What are best PC laptops for recording/editing. I use Sonar.

I plan to record a show onto my PowerBook.
For this, I will use 2 MOTU Travelers.

The show is scheduled to be within a week.
If anyone has already record simultaneously 16 tracks like that, please keep me informed about "how to make this work well".

Thanks.

I'm having syncronization problems with the mkII (the new USB 2.0 version) when I try to install it in a laptop pc. I get clicks, beeps, and silences. The CueMix console gives me back the following error message : "The CueMix is not in sync because the audio stream is not locked".
Does anybody knows if there is any known uncompatibility of the mkII with some kind of laptop pc.

I'm having problems when I connect my laptop pc to the MOTU 828 mkII (USB 2.0). It seems to be some syncronization problem. Does anybody knows what can be happening?
I've got:

Windows xp with Service Pack 2

USB 2.0 (VIA)
AMD Turion 64
