Just saw the Audient Evo 4 when browsing interfaces on Sweetwater. It's $130 which comes it $70 cheaper than their iD4 which was an interface I long considered. Should I look into this as a replacement for my first gen Focusrite 2i4? I've been extremely disappointed with the guitar DI signal...
I am considering switching from Mac to PC. I need an upgrade in horsepower, and when I compare the cost of the two platforms, I feel that I can no longer justify Apple's incredible pricing premium, even though I love the OS dearly. My last Windows experience was Win 7, and I've heard the OS has...
Hi All I've decided to make a rather humorous series going full retro with recording styles. Apologies for the low video quality, it's being filmed on an old JVC DV camcorder for extra retro points! The point of this series is to prove that you don't need the latest computing hardware if all...

I currently use a PC with Reaper for recording at the moment, but i have been thinking about getting a macbook for mobile use. So I am considering buying cubase, since it is multi platform. But will i be able to use it on both platforms with one purchase? I havent found anything on the...
We have an Eleven Rack we bought used and it works great. It was purchased pre-expansion pack. We downloaded the correct driver, the standalone editor, the last thing we need is the expansion pack which is about $100. I keep seeing that in order to run the expansion pack we need to have...
Hi everybody. I'm toying with the idea of getting a desktop of my own (I usually share one with my family) for pretty much the sole purpose of recording. I had a look around on a few forums and the general consensus is that Mac is the way forward. I don't want to spend too much so the Mac...
So, as the title says, I want to get a good DAW for recording guitar, keyboard, and possibly drums. For guitar, basically my setup will be: Guitar -> Patch Chord -> As of Now Unknown Interface -> Audio IN on Macbook Pro Basically, it needs to have great amp simulation, and effects. I will be...
Hello I just bought a line 6 ux2 and pod farm. I was using it with garage band and I didnt like the quality it was recording in so I checked out reaper. Reaper is WAY better. But Im still not happy with the way it sounds. My problem isnt with getting a nice tone. I actually have a pretty good...
Hey guys! I'm looking into getting a recording interface to go with my Mac. Could you advise me some ? Here's my requirements: - I don't need to record several instruments at the same time (i.e. no drums + guitars and so on). I will probably track one guitar track at a time (although most...

I'm having trouble installing ezdrummer. It runs throughout the installer and says in it installed successfully, but it doesn't not show up with the rest of the plug-ins in garageband. Thanks, Brian
okay so three questions i really need answered 1. wich software physically sounds the best? does it differ much between bigger programs and smaller ones? or is the sound quality the same for all and it only depends on your signal and tone? 2. im pretty positive im selling my macbook. Im...
Has anyone heard upcoming news about possible audio interfaces with thunderbolt connectors? -Would be a great sell on staying brand loyal to macs for a daw setup. USB 2.0 maxed out at a theoretical 480Mbps, while USB 3.0 can theoretically handle up to 5Gbps. Apple claims up to 10gbps...
hello, so i wanted to output my guitar(which runs through a pod to my computer) from my computer speakers, but mac does not have the option to output the sound that is coming in, so my question is: is there a program dedicated to outputting sound that is being inputted? thanks for the help!
I got a pod x3, and it works fine when i put in through my peavey valve king, but when i plug it into the line in on my macbook, and play it in garageband, it sounds really shitty and fizzy. I cant adjust it to get rid of the fizz, is there anything i could be doing wrong? Does anyone know any...
I just recently bought a Mbox 2 that I'm running Pro Tools 8 LE on, with a slow windows PC at the moment. I want to get a Mac this weekend and switch to that platform instead. The new Mac mini's are $599 for dual 2.3Ghz with 2 Gb of RAM. From what I've read they can handle my needs. (Midi drum...
