Recording frustration! AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!

[therocker]

Here is an update on the recording situation:

I sold the laptop and dumped Sony Acid and Audacity. I now have a new desktop, dual core computer with 8 gigs of ram, internal 500 gig hard drive, external 500 gig hard drive, Cubase LE, and 2 Presonus FP-10's daisy-chained together. This gives me 16 inputs to work with at one time (overkill? maybe, but I use 9 when recording the band live) and I have never been happier!

It took a whopping 1/2 hour to set it all up and everything worked perfectly right off the bat! I still have the mixing board, but I think I'm going to get rid of it as I have all the control with Cubase that I need. I wish I would have went this direction to start with, but live and learn. Also, my system is running Vista, but I stripped everything that was not necessary and I do not have any latency issues.

Firewire = good
USB = bad

Glad you got everything back to a good state

Oh man!!! I can completely relate,LOLHAHA that's why it is funny and so sad at the same time. I can clearly remember when i did my first recording by myself and how I failed miserably. I have actually failed at a lot of things in my life. You live and learn. I wish I had better advice, but honestly, it is called "trial and error" my friend. You did your best and that's all that matters. I hope things work out better for you in the future. Now go out and buy an eight track cassette recorder(if you can find one) and do it the old fashion way.

Post some pix of the mixer. I might have a buyer.

Here you go Bish:

I'm only asking $200 for it as it has seen very little use. I might have a buyer already, but if that falls through, I will let you know.

Ok, let me know if your deal doesn't pan out. I know someone who'll take it.
