It is because of the essential sameness between XP and MCE that I didn't think it would be a big deal to buy a laptop with MCE; I figured it's just XP with some media stuff, right?? Then I got all paranoid because I talked to Presonus and they were not just making disclaimers about Media Center; the...

Well, I went ahead and ordered the Presonus Firebox, with XP Media Edition still on my system. It arrived yesterday. I disabled all of the Media Edition features in msconfig and then loaded the Firebox drivers. Setup was a snap. I spent about an hour tweaking knobs, running my midi controller throug...

Yeah, installing a new OS sounds like a pain in the A S S. I guess I'll have to plan for that contingency, though. I would still like to hear if anyone has made XP MCE work for them with a firewire interface. Anyone? Anyone? At least installing a new OS will give me a chance to get rid of a lot of t...

So I was all ready to buy a new firewire audio interface (well, I had narrowed it down to a few of them, anyway), and then the guy at Sweetwater told me that because my laptop runs XP Media Center that I would have major compatibility issues owing to the bundled (largely useless) software on my mach...

Get Acer! Do not support Dell, they do not support me! :evil: :evil: :evil: what did dell do to you?? I did notice you're using a mac now; any connection?? Anyone's experiences with Acer are appreciated. Is it a reliable machine? do they have the same firewire freakout problems that users seem to b...

hey all, it's been a long time since i posted here (damn day job). I'm currently using a Dell desktop system (2.0ghz, 80 gb internal hd, 1gb RAM, 120gb external firewire hd, m-audio omni studio w/ Delta 66 card; Live/Reason, etc. . .) and I'm looking to replace that beast with a laptop that will mak...

Hi folks, I'm thinking of purchasing a digitial voice recorder to record some conversational voice stuff for a project I'm working on. Then I want to dump the data into live so I can edit it together. My question is this: If the device records in WMA format, how easy is it to convert it to a .WAV fi...

crap mp3's is a good possibility, some songs sounded better than others. sometimes though, the sound was a bit like what you hear when you're previewing samples on primesounds or whatever.

so what do you REALLY mean? what did the guy do on the wedding gig, adn why exactly does it sound bad? . oh, i don't mean anything sinister at all, just that this guy at this wedding was playing everything from his laptop (i have no idea what his software setup was) and the sound coming out of the ...

MP3 compression+PA compression=out of phase=bad sounding gigs!

i wish i knew a way to get this message to the guy that dj'ed at my brother's wedding . . .

I hear Apple are bringing out an attachment especially for you. The iOrifice, where you can physically mount your machine from every concievable angle and truly feel at one with your machine. Reading between the lines, testing is going extremely well. Harder Alex! Harder!!! http://www.art.net/Colla...

The reality is that Windows is a sieve, filled with holes. Microsoft leaves all these openings in its system.
