I'm running Logix Express on a g4 450 (or 500, somewhere around there.) Slow disks, about a gig of ram. Unfortunately, even with the slow disks, the system is way cpu-bound. I can't run that many plugs at a time. So I'm thinking about upgrading the processor. Those powerlogix cards are around 250 bu...

next tues? where is this pencil factory? (i'm down in williamsburg, the only thing I know where is in gp is Enids. And park luncheonette.)

I have a quattro and I use logic. First things first, get the drivers at m-audio.com http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=support.drivers Then, in the Sound prefs pane, set quattro as your audio in and out. Try to use iTunes or something. Can you get music out of the quattro? Forget about logic and s...

This Nady/Telefunken thing reminded me-- all these inexpensive chinese-manufactured condensor mics that have been hitting the market in the last few years are probably made in one factory where they just tack on a 'Nady' or 'Telefunken' badge, right? Since I have no interest in paying Telefunken for...

i'm into it

Two things about the AKG k240 series: 1) They are very high impedance. It takes a lot to drive these. They won't work with the headphone outputs on most consumer or pro-sumer equipment. 2) They are not durable. I've had a bunch of pairs of them, they don't hold up very well. Personally, I think they...

just came across this- unless I'm missing something, looks like a good deal (AT2020's seem to be about $80 on ebay without the 2021 and shipping). Figured somebody might want to grab it. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-AUDIO-TECHNICA-AT2041SP-STUDIO-MIC-2-PACK_W0QQitemZ7405870846QQcategoryZ41472QQssPageName...

I've been thinking about buying a pair of those gunsman/airport ground crew-style Over-the-head ear protectors. I have a single-room setup. The idea is to put in my etymotic canal phones in, which gives me a few dB's of isolation, then put the ear protector things on over that for a few more. Hoping...

Thanks. I don't know how I missed that.

I've been trying to figure out how to use the onboard mac audio ins with logic express as well as the m-audio usb audiosport quattro that i have at the same time. It seems to be mutually exclusive-- if I have the CoreAudio driver enabled in Logic, and the AudioSport selected, I get four inputs and f...

In logic express, when I do 'track|create' in the arrange window, I get a clone of the current track but with no audio regions. I can find no way to decouple these, changing channels, inputs, inserts, arming status, etc on one changes the other. But when I go 'track|create multiple...' and choose 1 ...

What do you want to record? I'm only posting here to offer a contrary opinion to the previous poster: there's a lot of cheap crap out there that you can make sound remarkably cool, both in a traditional Hi-Fi sense and in a normal sense. You already have a mac, that's the most expensive thing, and i...

8th_note-- thanks for your help. I got it all set up and it seems to be working pretty well. I'll have to bump the 1642 up in my wishlist. The reasons I hate the quattro are more than just its usability. First of all, I bought the quattro in 2001 when I got a powerbook and switched to Mac. M-Audio d...

Thanks for the reply. Man, summing in logic to outputs 1&2-- that is a great idea. I can't believe i didn't think of that. i've been using all four outputs and semi-randomly assigning the logic tracks to outputs. I guess the only reason to use the other two outputs is for outboard gear, and I don't ...

Hey, long time reader, first time poster. I'm trying to set up some recording gear in my band's rehearsal space primarily to make demos on and to use for writing, etc. The plan is to use this piecer macintosh with logic express, a usb audio interface with four ins and four outs, and a mackie 1402 (V...
