I need advice. I am interested in acquiring an 8 track recorder and do not know where to start. Here is what is important to me:

this is my first post here after reading for a few weeks.

I'm in the process of renovating a very small (360 sqft) apartment. It is on the corner of a very busy street (a truck route) and is quite loud inside and out. Since I am literally ripping the walls out right now, are there simple things I can do to improve it acousticly?

I am new to this forum. I've been reading it for a couple of weeks now. I apologize for asking this question if it has already been addressed. My search was unsuccessfull.

I am looking at buying the MOTU 828mkII audio interface. In addition to the 2 XLR mic/line inputs in front, it offers 8 1/4" inputs in back. Ok, now the question...

I am just trying my hand at music production having played in bands and been into making music for years.

I have a Yamaha PSR-1000 and Shure SM58 which I plan to use once I get to grips with the software. My friend advised me to get Sonar 3 and FruityLoops, which I did, from eBay. My PC also has a Soundblaster Audigy card.

mother of all creatures, I received my m-audio omnistudio usb today. Allot of buttons, inputs/outputs it makes me cross-eyed.
Check it out, I got demo software of Vegas, Reason & Live Delta.
The one that seems pretty user friendly is Vegas, I actually found out how to record using the omnistudio. I hooked it up baby!.

this may or may not be a dumb question but here goes.

i am using the mbox with pro tools 4.

i want to buy either a usb midi keyboard or an actual midi interface. that would be my first question. what do you all recommend for the setup i am using? I am running on a Powerbook G4. 1 ghz. 512 ram.

Hey all,

So I want to start recording some of my ideas, but I'm a little bit in the blue, and just doing some research, and I'm not fully knowledgeable of all important pro's and con's... I need help and advice on what a good purchase would be.

Hello all,

This is just a post to caution ALL newbie Pro Tools users. if you have bought DIGI 001,002 or an MBOX listen to the guy who tells you BUY TWO SYSTEMS!
