[QUOTE=nic0le;18284922]i think just record..[/QUOTE]

An audio interface such as the M-Audio Fast Track Pro USB Audio Interface will cost you about 200$, and then you'll eventually need a Digital Audio Workstation like SONAR, Logic, Cubase, or Garageband, Pro Tools and Cakewalk to record onto your computer.

For about the same price, you can get a digital multi-effects pedal with usb capabilities that comes with recording software for your computer such as the Digitech RP355, Zoom G2.1nu or even something from Line 6...just a few more ideas for you to think about.

i think maybe get a better grasp of what it is you're trying to do before blowing money on anything

buy like a dictaphone or something, until you yourself understand what it is you want to do

[QUOTE=benfan;18285881]So you dont want to create your own songs to burn onto c.d's or upload online?[/QUOTE]


my tascam has the ability to do this already....

the only thing id ike to so is have all the features of my tascam has on my computer instead..

buy any audio interface ("external soundcard") and download a program called REAPER from [url]http://www.reaper.fm[/url]

for help re: the audio interface, consult the manual of the one you buy

for help re: REAPER, visit their forums

if youre already comfortable using a portastudio like the dp-008, you should be able to get how to record in a DAW with a little help

wat kind of monitors do u guys use

Dont have any yet due to cash. Im using a pair of DT990 Pro's and they are fine for what i need.


I have a problem maybe someone can help with. I was halfway through a project in Cubase and i decided to move all my audio files onto an external harddrive. Now whenever i open the project up it keeps asking me to 'Resolve Missing Files', but since i moved everything to the other HDD iv completely changed the project and saved it again with a different name, the only thing that remains is the tempo track. Any ideas?

lolol

Yeah i get that but its whole list of them, and the only file which is the same now is the tempo track. How do i get rid of it, cause whenever i cross it off the session works fine.

proly by using Reaper instead of Cubase

but srs I am not quite understanding what you'r esaying so I can't really help

See if there's an option to purge all unused tracks in the Media Pool (or whatever Cubase calls it). That might get rid of the unused tempo track.

Alternately, you could try finding out if the tempo track is saved as a separate file and moving that into the new location as well.

LOL that's what I'm subjecting myself to atm.


I mean...they're okay. I A/B'd with 650's, and without a quiet ass room it's actually quite hard to hear a biiiiig difference tonally (I mean for the extra money it should leap the fuck out at you). But balance wise the 650's raped, the 555's don't track very well in the stereo image.

I'm actually testing soon if I can do a full mix on them and just use my stereo for checking them.

It's fucking tricky lol.


Edit: Oh and do the mod on them. Basically you take out these two foam pads in between the driver and the outside that retard them to be a lower end headphone.

They basically sound like the 595's once you do that.

Do you guys listen to your mix on shitty stereo speakers before you finish it?

I can't tell if you're fucking with me, so I'll assume you aren't congratulate on your new better sounding pair of cans :naughty:

[QUOTE=benfan;18286719]Do you guys listen to your mix on shitty stereo speakers before you finish it?[/QUOTE]

obviously, one should listen to their mix in as many different sound systems as possible (within reason) before being done with it

that said, i'm not always good at actually doing it :)

My set up is IMAC 27" with mbox mini 2 soundcard by digi design or Avid as they call it now.
I record everything under pro tools and use guitar rig for guitar tones, ampeg for bass tones and strike to program drums (in order for strike to work it's best to have a MIDI keyboard to run it mine is a M-Audio 49 keys)
I use monitors from yamaha HS80 pretty basic stuff but it works wonders !

It's always been Avid, Digidesign were just the Pro Tools division. They just decided to consolidate all their assets under the father company.
I'm praying that I manage to get some funding for a PhD after I've finished this MA. If I get some, I'll be getting some monitors and making some DIY acoustic treatment :)
