I just bought a Samson G-track USB Microphone and was testing it with the included Sonar LE software. In my opinion there was a lot of noise when I listened to some of my voise tests. I tried different settings on the mic volume control. Up untill half power there's noice. At a volume of 3/4 the recorded sound easily gets too loud when singing too close to the mic and that ruins the sound.

Hi,
I am pretty new to recording, but I am making my way along. I have a motif 6 classic and Cubase 4 Le (came with my Audiobox). I recently got EzDrummer and I want to control it with my motif keyboard. I have the driver and it recognizes it, but I cant figure out how to set it up. It is plugged in via USB and I would really appreciate help on how to set it up.

Hi, I have an Omni I/O by M-Audio, and it runs analog via a 15 pin female plug, into a Delta-66 soundcard. I have purchased an iMac, so the Delta 66 card can no longer be used, but I want to keep using the Omni if I can. Is there a usb interface I can buy, that has a male 15 pin (analog) -to- a USB? ( Maybe with a battery powered processor in between to change the analog to digital?)

I just bought a Creative 5.1 USB External Soundcard to get surround sound from my computer to my surround system. I noticed that the external soundcard has a microphone input integrated. I was wandering if anyone knows the quality of that input? Is it an equivalent to a cheap microphone preamp or is it as bad as plugin your microphone directly to your computers mini-jack stick?

I'm a bit of a techno-phobe but am trying to get started with some basic recording...

I just installed a Tapco Link.usb and it came bundled with Tracktion 2 software. When I open Tracktion 2, I get the error message "Error opening audio device, error setting up audio output pin." I'm unable to get any sound or reaction out of Tracktion.

Hi
I am about to purchase a Project Mix I/O. I requires a Firewire connection but my laptop does not have a fire wire port. Only USB. Can anyone tell me if I can buy any converters or cards.
Thanks

Long story short, I am recording voice-overs so I need a USB PC friendly interface. I'll be using a Shure SM7B (client request), so I need something with quality, low noise, high gain pres. One (or two) channels is fine.

I cannon get Cubase 5 to recognize my Alesis Multimix 8 USB. (Please note that it is not the USB 2.0 model.)

I have tried visiting the Alesis website to download ASIO drivers, however there are none available for this board, as it is a plug n play device. The board included a copy of Cubase 4 le, so I am assuming that it SHOULD be compatible with Cubase 5.

Hello everyone! First off, I hope this is the right section to post this, if not I apologize.

Now then...
I have searched everywhere and I cannot find out how to set up two USB mics to record at once but with two different levels.

Software I have to record are...
- Sony Vegas and Sony Sound Forge
- Reaper
- Audacity

I've been using digirack 002 through firewire 400 for years and been working fine on macbook pros but being a mac buff, I'm going to want a newer macbook pro eventually, which means no firewire 400. Definitely not the only one with this problem. But at the same time, I'm getting sick of digidesign's core audio problems and updating indifference.
