We are going to be recording software tutorials and so it will be voice only. The problem is that the pc's being used to record are small form factor with limited ability to add a sound card. So this brings us to the question, for voice recording is the internal sound card good enough or would a external USB type sound card worth looking into? Our type internal sound cards are:

i am very, very, very, veeerrrry tight on cash. so here's my situations. i know a bunch of people who have USB large diaphram(sp?) mics. so i can get my hands on about 4 of them.

now, my question is: Is it possible to plug all 4 into a USB hub and then plug them into the computer/laptop and have all of them like...work?

I'm trying to use my laptop, Cubase SX3, and a Alesis USB mixer to record. So if I use just my mixer as the primary sound device (i have to disable it in the device manager to do this for some reason), everything records fine.

Hey everyone.

I have an E-MU 0404 USB interface. I just recently bought a R0DE nt1-a and Planet Waves gold-plated xlr-XLR cable. I plugged it all in, turned on the phantom power from the interface, and I get very very low signal, even when I turn up the level all the way for the mic's channel.

okay everyone i have been using a Lexicon lambda with Cubase le and it's been amazing so far. the thing is though that i want to be able to record more tracks at the same time. i was looking at getting a peavey pv 14usb but i dont know how many tracks you can record at the same time or if it would work with Cubase le. any help would be great. oh and my computer is an HP dv6244 laptop.

ok I have a usb emu 0202 interface and it is not recognizing my microphone... I tried installing the drivers again but that doesnt seem to work... It won't even let me see the mic volume under recording for the device helppppppppppppppp

Im really wondering the pros and cons of each?

I really hope someone can help me with this problem, I feel like I’ve made some headway but I’m still slightly clueless! Apologies if this post is a bit long.

First off my system: I have a relatively new Compaq 1.6ghz laptop, 1GB mem, win xp sp2, with a crappy internal soundcard, no slot for a new internal one.

am trying to utilize my Roland R8 MKII Human Rhythm Composer with my DAW and I have the MIDI out of it connected to my MOTU MIDI Timepiece AV USB. I am getting a constant fluttering red led whenever I have it inserted into the MTP. I tried moving it to various ports but still, the same problem.
