I hate not being "with" my amp when tracking guitar. No feedback!

I am running a Digi 002R off my laptop built-in (4-pin) firewire bus, and the audio drive off a Siig PCMCIA firewire card. They seem to work well. Siig is the recommended brand due to its TI chipset.

Apologies if this was posted already, just saw it.

I am working on my first project since buying my 002R. A friend of mine with some access to HD rooms is helping me out, we are constantly moving between my home rig and his HD studios with zero problems. That aspect of it is fucking great. I upgraded from an Mbox2 (which I still own) and it is a nic...

The letter in the latest TapeOp about hiding control text and learning to "play" stuff as an "instrument" really resonated with me. Maybe try that?

Oh, I know - the grass is always way greener. I didn't write this specifically, but RADAR looks really attractive right about now. Maybe someday when I can justify the investment. I'm going to get out of the way now and read any responses that come. I'm not necessarily looking for solutions. Hell, m...

I stumbled into the DAW world 10 years ago for 2 reasons. One, I have always dabbled in recording and I wanted to give the "new thing" a shot. Two, I've always had a certain knack for working with computers, so the learning curve was pretty easy for me. I'm a hobbyist no doubt. So DAWs make sense. O...

Buy a 1073.

PT8 should theoretically open any older PTLE session no problem. 002R is decent, you end up jury-rigging weird workarounds due to the varied inputs. 1-4: OK, these have built in pres 5-8: Line level only -- are these different from 1-4 set at "0"? don't know 9-16: Optical 17-18: SPDIF So you end up ...

If that thing is PTLE compatible there might be two of us buying.

Pretty sure it's just acting as a mixer in that case.

You could just as easily play the tape outs into your Mbox afterwards.

Yeah it's all coming back to me now as well. When I bought my laptop, Vista had just come out but I intentionally went with XP Pro. I then wiped the hard drive and reinstalled XP clean, without Dell's array of "features". I then had to track down a bunch of drivers online. That was a pain in the but...

Lotta answers here. But what was the question? Your ideas have a decent common/general/non-specific philosophy behind them, but obviously different types of music require different things. The big drum sound is not good for country or quiet/intimate music, let alone jazz. I think your approach is ba...

Probably Ibanez, or if you really want to express your inner mullet, Parker Fly.

I'm using a Dell Inspiron 6000 that I bought new in 2006. (2GHz, 2GB RAM) I have to hook up the Digi 002 to the onboard 4-pin firewire port, and run the audio drive off an aftermarket Siig cardbus firewire port. If I try and swap those two buses, or run both devices off the Siig, everything falls ap...
