:( 1. I need suggestions regarding what kind of mixer to purchase (for under $200) for my little home set up. I want one that has a relatively simple learning curve. I am not that great at this.

I contacted musician’s friend and they suggested one with a USB and firewall. I barely know how to set up the one with the RCA and ¼ cables.

i have a br-1600 and i'm curious about how this works; do you need a program to export wavs, or does the computer just recognize your console as an external device and allow the wavs. to be transferred to it?

I'm having syncronization problems with the mkII (the new USB 2.0 version) when I try to install it in a laptop pc. I get clicks, beeps, and silences. The CueMix console gives me back the following error message : "The CueMix is not in sync because the audio stream is not locked".
Does anybody knows if there is any known uncompatibility of the mkII with some kind of laptop pc.

After many years of bitching about this Tascam nightmare...cause it has always been unpredictable in nature. Last night I wanted to record some tracks and found out the record button will not start my Cubase SX to recording. I can get Cubase to record only by clicking the record button on SCREEN. The other buttons REW..F FWD..STOP..PLAY work on the controller 428. Wonder what the deal is.

I finally figured out live, crisp monitoring with my crappy Soundmax Integrated Digital Card (optic out).

Kristal with ASIO4ALL driver and Adobe Audtion 1.5.

Input - Plain ol' USB Mic with no driver (default WDM driver)
Output - Roland's DM-20 Digital monitors (optic in/out)

I am using an ibook G4 and am out of usb ports. Is there some kind of device that anyone knows of that you can plug into one of the ports and it branches it off to two ports?

Sorry I'm a total noob.

Are the mic preamps in all of the USB and Firewire interfaces worth crap? Is it even open to argument?

I'm just wondering whether I should got to USB or mic/line.

Thanks!

so, i have a laptop with adobe audition, mics, mic preamps, and a mixer. i need a usb interface. i want to get just one piece that will do the job, and i don't want to spend over $200. can anyone offer advice on what to get? thanks.

Hi guys,

I have a USB mic running XP Pro. I am using Audacity. I wish to record using the USB mic as well as recording wav out. Is that possible?

Any help appreciated

First off all I am trying to do is record decent quality hip hop vocals. All I could afford was a m-audio mobile pre usb and a Shure sm58. I will be using Cubase sx3 to record into. I have hardly any experience with recording using computers at all so I have a few questions that might seem dumb but if you guys could help me out that would be tight.
