I plan to begin podcasting. Also, know in the future I'd like to record vocals and keyboard (but not immediately).

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
