Man, I thought I had a handle on this but apparently not.

Using Samplitude, Sonar, Cubase, Logic, Reaper whatever... (shouldn't matter what DAW correct)? what do I need to get 16 channels of I/O to a Dangerious 2-Bus or my SPL MixDream and back into my DAW? ( not concerned with cable) just the converter options for now.

Has anyone used either of these? I'm wanting to use one of these with window XP to trigger BFD 2 along side with Samplitude/Sequoia 11. I see on the LCD "Cubase LE". Drum controllers are new to me so I'm also wondering if you need specific software for the DAW used with it?

Greetings,

I would like some help regarding the matter. I am torn between these two laptops as my audio workstation. Both will be identical in regards to specs: from the processor, storage, memory, OS,Software(CUBASE), etc..

Does anyone have any experience with purchasing a desktop PC from sweetwater? I'm looking at getting a good PC for recording and I'm not familiar enough to build my own (I don't think), and the sweetwater computers look like pretty good value for the comp you get. I'm sorry if this has been discussed previousy, but I searched and couldn't find any material. Thanks

Hey, my computer is kinda f****d, and I've decided it's time to upgrade to something roughly in the 'latest & greatest' category. I use a lot of CPU heavy stuff like kontakt so I need something with plenty of processor and ram under the hood. I've been a PC user for all of my musical life, but I have plenty of experience with macs, and to be honest I like both pretty much equally.

Can anyone give me a general outline of how OS bit selection influences music recording?

A money pit that is. Well, there's no better time than the present.

Sonar only gets better, taking advantage of Windows 7, 64bit running on a new PCAudioLabs i7. I have one of their boxes and its extremely slick.

Take a look at this REMIX video clip(s) in particular : update

140 tracks with video.

The other 2 videos may just convert you.

Hello RO

The day has come. I have to say goodbye to my current, tweaked, retweaked and tweaked again DAW pc. I do not think I can take one more mix using this machine freezing, crashing and killing my workflow.

hi,

let's all weigh in on what is the best os for audio

1. os x
2. vista
3. xp
4. linux

the reason for my question is that i've heard XP will only use 2 gigs of RAM effectively. so that means i'm stuck with vista? i can't go with os x because i can't really afford the hardware.
