I recently decided to try digital/PC recording and cannot quite get my system working properly. These are the items I have set up now. Sony VAIO PCV-RX-540(1.2ghz celeron, 256ram) with an additional Maxtor 7200rpm 80 gig hard drive added for the audio. OS is Windows XP. I am using a Tascam US-428 for the audio/midi interface. The software is the bundled Cubasis that comes with the US-428.

Okay, there haven't been any new jokes posted around here lately...this situation is BULLSHIT. To quote Bob Buontempo aka The Mix Fix, "alright, let's see if you stiffs have any sense of humor..." :D

I am a pianist and a vocalist. When I built my first studio, the grand piano was inside the control room, so I could engineer and play. It took some getting used to, but it worked. I made several fine CDs in that odd place, which was carved out of my little house in the burbs. Now I live in a condo, and I've got a studio in the living room.

Didn't know if anyone would be interested, but I found a guy who will record drum tracks to your music on ADAT for $75. He's got some pretty good credentials. I'm considering using him, but haven't taken the plunge yet.
