I have had a couple of posts on here about home recording, but as from January I am turning my rehearsal studio in a recording studio. Obviously we are not talking Abbey Road, I will be on a tight budget. I am looking to offer bands good quality recording for a low price. So I need to get a good setup. I already have most of the software so its mainly hardware to start with.

hi,
i'm trying to get my sister setup with a recording program
her desktop is a pentium 4 2.4 hz, windows xp
but she only 1.5 gb of ram.
i noticed Ableton and studio one both ask for minimum 2 gb of ram,
am going to try to add ram, but dont know if i can.
will be hooking her up with a mobile pre usb m-audio box, so that should be fine,

I am looking for feedback from anyone who has dealt with these or other Custom DAW PC builders. First off, I do NOT want to build my own. I am capable, but frankly it is worth it to me to spend a few hundred dollars to avoid the time, effort, and frustration involved.

Hello

Provided we can put the PC close to the table where people will be talking and I can run a cable between the sound mixer and the PC, are webcams good enough to record a conference/lecture? Are there webcams that can be put on a tripod?

Also, for that purpose, which application would you recommend for PCs and Macs?

Thank you.

Looking for advice on the Mac Mini

I've got my PC blazing and now doing final tweaks. I followed these extra tweaks first: http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.aspx?&m=1862515&mpage=1
I now have CBDAWOS (Custom Built DAW Optimization Syndrome) :tongue: What a rush!

So me and my friends want to start a podcast, so I'm looking into what we will need. I have a basic audio editing software and we'll be getting 4 microphones, but I was having a little trouble finding exactly what I need to record all of us directly to my PC.

Hi all! I have a question about recording multiple tracks that I'm hoping somebody might be able to help me with - I am 99.9% new to home recording, so please bear with my n00bness. We (the band I'm in) would like to start recording music.

Inputs:
Keys
Guitar
Bass
Drum kit
2 Vocal Mics

I have read a million forums regarding the best way to achieve high end quality recordings (to the point were its is doing my head in now!). I was going to go down the road of recording at 24bit/48khz Wav. I was hoping this would be suitable playback on a good audiophile home setup.
