thanks for the replies, it's given me a bit to chew on. i shouldn't have to buy software, friends of mine work at a media production facility and there's always the old limewire. i'd prefer not to get a portable 8 track since i can't check my email with it. this may have been a roundabout way to do ...

i'm pretty set on getting a laptop at this point. in the future i plan to save up for a badass machine and retire whichever of these two laptops i get now, but i've got a limited budget and i want to be able to record very soon. if someone is sure from experience that neither of these will be able t...

Allen & Heath Mixwizard 14:4:2 in great shape. missing one auxillary volume knob on stereo input channel (channel 13-14), has no effect on performance or functionality. great preamps (better than mackie, soundcraft, or behringer), VERY versatile mixer. COSTS $1350 NEW, i'm asking $800. Echo Layla 2...

mine always did everything i needed it to and i thought it sounded a little better than the soundcraft i had before it. i'm trying to get everything down to a minimal portable rig at the moment, so if you're interested i have a 14:4:2 for sale with absolutely nothing wrong with it. masterofyeoldepup...

i've got a choice of either getting a dell latitude d400 (1.4ghz pentium m, 512m ram, xp home) or a mac ibook (700mhz g3, 640m ram, os 10.4 tiger) for $450. they both have onboard firewire and usb, although the ibook comes with an internal dvd/cdrw while the dell has only an external cdrom. i've nev...

sorry to bump, just making sure this doesn't get lost in the shuffle.

i'm thinking about getting the bottom-of-the-barrell dell inspiron 2200 laptop with 1.7ghz pentium M and 512m ram. according to the online specs, it comes with 3 usb2.0 ports but no firewire ports. are there any downsides to getting a PCMCIA card with multiple firewire ports to use with an external ...

solar is definitely too expensive for me at this point, unless you know of a good photovoltaic dumpster east of the mississippi. why can't i use the dc off the deep cycle batteries to power the laptop and car amp? also, the only outs i've ever seen on a car amp are rca and speaker wire, but my monit...

thanks for the replies, i don't get to an internet pc too often so it's taken me awhile to respond. i'll just respond to everything randomly. as far as how i'm going to power it, i plan on having a few options. for just running the laptop and monitors, i plan on using a couple of marine deep cycle b...

rip a true fucking rap genius. i'm not even kidding.

i'd like to see what folks thoughts are on how to make an extended cargo van the most predictable space it can be, with everything (including carpet) taken out except the driver;s chair. thanks.

mmk, i didn't see your email listed in your profile so mine's stan8000@hotmail.com. email me the details as far as condition, accesories etc. and also the differences between your model and the mkII, as i couldn't find links to the older version on motu's website. but based on ebay descriptions, thi...

i've been out of the recording game for a little while, and the last thing i was doing was recording to an otari mx5050 8 track then dumping to my pc via echo layla for editing. now i've decided to to live out of a camper and have a portable setup, so i got a laptop off ebay (p3 500, 256mb, 20gig, w...

guess i'll just chime in with another "yep we sure did destroy packages when i worked at ups for 8 months." horrible job, i'm not sure what someone meant when they said that they treat their workers well, the working environment was filthy and the pace was unmanageable. i was always careful with stu...

hi all, i have a strange problem. last night i was recording a band with cooleditpro, and i was recording to a 2 gig HD set to slave inside my desktop. everything seemed fine while we were recording, but about halfway through the session i started to get a message popping up saying that C: was almos...
