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..

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.

Hey all,

Forgive my ignorance. I'm used to my old Pro Tools hardware and learning new things with PC's.

What ever AD/DA converter I go with, like Apogee, CRane Song, Larvy, RME etc, do I need a sound card still installed in the PC ( windows XP tower)? or, do the higher end converters, or one in particular replace the need of the sound card?
