Hey
My upcoming question:
In quality is there difference between an external recorder connected by USB or connected to a firewire card? Are there any obvious differences which apply to all products?

THANKS

Hi, this is my first post here. I'm having a problem with my M-Audio MobilePre USB. I have an MXL 990 condenser mic and two computers set up for recording. One is a laptop P3, the other a desktop P4. Both have IDENTICAL setups: Win2K, Wavelab 5, latest service packs, drivers, same mixer settings, etc, etc.

I've been trying for six months to get rid of a crackling/static noise during playback of any sound source (including commercial CD's)with my Tascam US 224 external USB soundcard. The crackle is audible regularly - almost constantly, during playback from any source. (the problem started in the last six months. I've run this setup succesfully for two years.)

Tascam US-224 USB any good?

I just purchased an OmniStudio and new, powerful PC for home recording. Yes, I've moved into the 21st century after having used various 4-track cassette recorders for the last 20 years. Anyway, I'm at a loss as to how to begin. There's no tutorial! The supplied software includes Reason Adapted (Propellerheads) and Live 3/Ambleton.

I was having a problem chaining my firewire 400 drive through my metric halo and into my mac. I discovered that since firewire 400 is only half-duplex, that was causing the problem (when the computer tried to write the data to the drive, it had to stop the incoming audio..Duh). So I bought a USB drive so that i could have the IO and drive on seperate buses.

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!.

Hey, i'm new here, howzit?

I have an m-audio mobilepre (USB) that feeds my cakewalk homestudio. I find that latency tends to be a real pain. after every take, I have to go and re-align by hand so the timing matches up. would this be reduced significantly with a PCI soundcard? I don't want to spend the money if not.

Hi.

I have some external scsi things (scanners, hard disks, CD drives; I think they are all ultra-scsi, in any case, they are about 4-7 years old, but still work fine). I would like to be able to put them further away from the PC than scsi cables allow.

I am wondering if there is such a thing as a usb-to scsi adapter, that I could hook up in the following way:

What type of hardrive is better to use more audio tracks?
If you think of any PCI hard drive accelerator card and you want to use a UAD-1 or a powercore would it load CPU performance.
Now when it comes down to which of the pasts is better let us know what your experience is.
My choice is SCSI and yours?
