Cubase LE could not run ezdrummer. so I upgraded the recording software. now I am sorting out how to use the more sophisticated program. CubaseLE was simple. Cubase Essential 4 is probably as easy, but I am slow on the uptakes.
the USB digital interfaces get a bad rap I think. Firewire is said to be superior. maybe so. my computer had no firewire port and could not support a firewire card. so I went USB. it works fine.
the Lexicon Alpha is the basic version. Lambda has two inputs for evreything. I like that.
although, I am still recording one input at a time.]]> In The Studio dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/best-home-studio-setup/#post-286680 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/best-home-studio-setup/#post-286665 Fri, 28 Mar 2008 11:16:47 +0000 Windows PC with lots of RAM.
Lexicon Lambda digital interface Hi dogbite, I am looking for USB digital interface.
How does the Lexicon Lamba work for you ? I like the design of it , but the limited USB 1.1 interface is a questionmark.
Do you use 24 bit / 48 MHz sampling during recording ?
Any problems with pops and cracks during recording +
Any problems with latency during track to track recording ?
Any problems with sound (ASIO) drivers disturbing/locking up the PC ?

Use a firewire MOTU 8PRE as as my interface
Linked to that is an Alesis ADAT with lightpipe trasnfer

So I get 16CH Simulatenously.

I use a Mackie 1602 as a mixer and to send my headphone signal through. An Audio Technica and MXL Wide Condensor Mic, several other various mics Aduix, Shure, Rode. I have a pair of Edirol Actice Monitors. Also use a Compaq Laptop with the same setup for portable or low space recording.


For a PC to compete with a MAC on recording, it needs RAM I currently run 2GB in all my computers (laptop too) and 4GB in my recording pC this way all the RAM sucked up by Windows is counter acted by my extra. I also have a good dual monitor graphics card. Never glitches or freezes up.]]> In The Studio leear https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/best-home-studio-setup/#post-286557 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/best-home-studio-setup/#post-286535 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 15:11:24 +0000 Windows PC with lots of RAM.

Logic is awesome value for the price, and there's a wealth of tutorial and other info to get you going out there - another downside to Nuendo, no one ever does tute's for it like they do with more popular DAWs. Actually, the latest Logic 8 full bundle is particularly brilliant, and one I'd consider adding to my rig down the line, if I can ever scrape the cash together for it.

I generally find that Macs are more stable, especially if the computer is going to be accessing the internet, as there are less broken-computer issues than with pc (unless you're a tech-head, in which case pc may well be eminently managable). But the new macs, I'd have to get back to ya on.

Sorry, I've only just got up, I'll try to post more later on.

Preamps - I love my recently acquired FMR RNP (props to hueseph, kingpatzer and others for helping me choose it!). Interface is a cheap-but-good Tascam US-224 Control Surface, though again I'd like to upgrade over the next 12-18 months as I hope to record more tracks simultaneously by then.]]> In The Studio Scrybe https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/best-home-studio-setup/#post-286525 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/best-home-studio-setup/#post-31009 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 07:18:51 +0000
I am interested in learning what you guys use and your opinions on the gear.

Pro Tools? Logic? Nuendo?

Mac? PC?

Favorite Pre-amps and interfaces?

Thanks guys!]]> In The Studio Zen Master Jeff https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/best-home-studio-setup/#post-31009
