Tonight again I got bored of the sucky sound and latency issues when using my computers audio in to demo songs. I've been using PreSonus Firepod firewire audio interface at the rehearsal studio, but can't be bothered to carry it home everytime.

Hi People.

my situation :

I recently bought Native Instruments' Guitar Rig.
Though I am not running it via their Rig Kontroller

Instead I bought myself the Light Snake™ ¼ Guitar input > USB 2.0 cable. It's a nice cable.

Now when GR loads and I go to the AUDIO AND MIDI SETTINGS I have 2 options and they are as follows:

So this is a whole new side of audio to me. I've been loaned a brand new Alesis pad from an endorsee who wants me to be his programmer, problem is I have never worked with midi on my own or anything like this in my life. Now I'm already failing at making this pad work with Ableton. The pad is plugged in and was installed successfully.

this is real 'recording on the cheap', I'm trying to capture an accurate room sound (assuming everyone miced and going thru the mixer).

Alot of people say the Mackie Onyx Satellite has some really quality mic preamp's and quality drivers/converters, especially for the price.

Anybody have experience with this one or have better advice?

Thanks!

Help----Bought session in Dec. 2007. Loaded it, wouldn't work. Have windows home preimum vista 32 bit. 3gig ram 400 gig harddrive. have the newest drivers. Finally got it working,had to download a new driver for vista. got to record 6 songs for people at church.

I just got the Tascam US-122L USB Interface and everything works fine except for one thing: When I plug my Line 6 Spider 3 amp into the interface, I get a humming-static. I'm using the "POD" style output from the amp, so it should work fine, but even if the amp is OFF, it still makes the noise when plugged in.

I'm currently looking to upgrade my digital multi-track recorder to computer based recording for ease of recording, mixing etc.

I have a laptop (PC) with decent spec. and was probably looking at a M-Audio FW410 for just under 200 quid.

I'm wondering what you guys think would be a better choice, overall. I've been leaning towards the E-MU, but I wanted to get a couple more opinions from you guys.

I'll be using this interfaces to record all types of music.
