can you edit the start points as well to create sample chopping?

btw its usb. and you can record the internal synth sounds to the computer DAW through the usb as well. another plus is that its usb powered. so basically i would use the output on the x-station to monitor any sound from my computer. bad idea?

heres the audio interface specs for the novation x station

Phantom power: On/Off 48 Volts
Gain control: -60dB - +10dB signal range
A to D converters: 2 x 24 bit Delta Sigma
Audio outputs: 2 x 1/4” jack sockets
Digital output: S/PDIF - phono ...

may i ask why you would recommend a dedicated i/o card instead of using the audio interface on the novation x station?

by the way, this is for studio use only. im not using it in a live setting at all. so i dont think sampling from vinyl will be a problem. My biggest concern is getting the sound i want (that i used to get with my mpc) at a reasonable price. If i buy a soundcard for 200, will my samples come out flat ...

the stanton turntable i have now already has an A/D converter inside of it. So it has a digital output and an rca output. Ive been running it into my mpc's digital in for a while now. I cant really tell if Im better off using the stantons A/D or if I should run the RCA's into a soundcard and let the ...

I am a hiphop producer in search of the perfect set up (for me)as cheap as i can do it. I need to be able to record samples from vinyl and cd and record vocals. I think i've figured out the most efficient set up and wanted to get some feedback.

what about using ozonic as my controller/soundcard?

someone told me that the comp will run smoother if you keep your audio on a seperate hard drive.

i dont know a damn thing about using computers for music. this will be my first experience. i have a feeling it will take alot of getting used to.

Im going to purchase a desktop specifically for running live and soundforge (although im starting to think i wont even need sound forge) and I just wanted alittle advice on the computer im looking at. heres the specs

hey, sorry for this one. but i cant figure it out for the life of me.

how would i go about triggering audio clips that are playing one shots (not looping) with a midi clip?

the reason i want to do this is because i want to be able to play different portions of a sample in each clip to create my ...

if i ever decide to use live on a laptop i'll buy a laptop that can handle it. but i hate making music on laptops. it really puts a strain on me. i'd much rather work on a desk top. im not much of a traveller or a performer.

im sorry. i was way unclear in my earlier post. the 1500 would be in dollars, Im in the US. Also, im not interested in using live on a laptop. i want to run it on a desktop. the only ins i need are an rca for my turntable and either a stereo 1/4 inch for a preamp, or if it has a built in pre, then 1 ...

using the demo on my laptop..like it so far. haven't been able to record audio in just yet.

ok now for the big question. does anyone have any suggestions for the type of computer i should buy to run this program? I kinda want to stay away from mac but if its really that much better on mac then i'd ...

when recording my samples, should i use the highest sample rate and bit rate? Does it make a big difference for pitch shifting, time stretching and warping? Generally I would say no, except for very extreme "oldskool" pitching, like a record player at 3rpms. I like 24bit, 48khz.
