I'm a little put off by the idea of getting a free piano and then fixing it up simply because I don't know enough about the instrument to identify a good piano in bad shape versus. I trust my ears and fingers enough to make the call on a good piano in good shape, hence why I'm seeking out brands tha...

Hey Tombers, Looking to potentially get an upright piano for the studio. The head engineer is partial to the Yamaha U series (U1 and U3 seem pretty common) and I tend to agree -- I've spent a little time on a U1 and I really, really liked it. I'd really love something in the $2k price range but that...

This mouse is surprisingly good for how cheap it is: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6826104328

VST / AU support, pad-linking, per-sound swing and drag n' drop pattern / scene re-arrangement. All for free.

Maschine was the best thing I bought in 2010.

I've heard really good things about the Yamaha AW1600 but it looks like it was discontinued. That means that deals are to be had, but you may not want to deal with discontinued hardware. http://usa.yamaha.com/products/music-pr ... mode=model

I would be shocked if there was a difference. They're both speaking digital. It's not like the computer's digital is inferior to the S/PDIF digital.

Ah it seems like the old Vista upgrade work-around doesn't need to happen anymore. Good to know!

It's still illegal, but still good to know!

I'm not really in the market for a new desktop rig (my Phenom II X4 965 is still limping along quite nicely, actually) -- but I was looking for a cheap replacement for my Dad's age'd rig to do some light CAD work and get him set up with a little recording rig (he has a MOTU 828MKII and a Traveler). ...

(combining interfaces doesn't work in windows, i've tried a lot of ways...)

Some manufacturers like MOTU and Focusrite let you use aggregate devices in Windows but it's device specific. On the whole it does not work.

What hardware buffer setting are you using?

I've really not heard anything negative about VRM so far except that it won't replace a proper monitoring environment and it would be nice to model some far-field speakers. Very interested in this tech and I will more than likely either buy the $100 VRM box or a Pro 24 DSP after I move in March. The...

I've been too busy to try it out but I think after I give it a whirl I'm going to give my copy to my father. All the reviews I've read of StudioOne make mention of it being really easy to use and I think it'd be a good way to get him started on a DAW. I was considering Record as well but $20 is a he...

Doesn't look like 9.01 resolves my Kore issue but I'll install it anyway. I'm one of those freaks that is constantly running the latest version, which I've been strangely lucky with so far in my audio career. Not the best practice for sure.

I've been trying to get Tape Op to send me a print issue for a long time with no luck. I'll try to track the issue down, but did they like the tech?

I'm sure it will share a bus if you crank the latency up to a ridiculously high amount. Same is true with the Liquid Mix -- you can share devices on the bus but your interface and LM aren't both going to be able to run at low latencies. However, I have long since theorized you could run both off of ...
