absolutely right

Guys, ardour is not strange, it's a DAW, which is not the same as a sound editor like audacity. Ardour is way more powerful and versatile than the latter, and for good reasons. In ardour, a track can be considered as an audio container. The audio is defined in time (length) by regions. The track is ...

hey Nathan, nice revamp :) a little suggestion : the default phpBB3 theme tends to use more CPU than necessary due to the animated icons (used for unread messages, etc). A user can change the default theme when logged in (so long as other themes are available) but a visitor without account will be p...

debian/sid. Because I use it everywhere else (servers, etc), it was the obvious choice from the start. And it worked after the initial linux-DAW tweaking. I am used to debian, and it does what I want it to do. Why should I change ?

Hi Jedee, Thanks for your comments :) No, the cables are not a problem, they are PlanetWave cables and have a little switch button to open the circuit (break the loop) so that no sound is transmitted through. It is equivalent to removing the cable from the guitar jack socket. I tell you, this little...

if you are using a laptop, I would then advise you be careful. The cool thing about desktop is that you can build them from "scratch" and tweak them rather easily like IRQ reassignments, choice of PCI slot, get rid of all crap that is not needed (3D graphics, etc). The problems come when p...

too bad that you're broke. You could try the RME Digiface for example. I use the Multiface II because I need the analog IOs. It can plug to the PCI HDSP card (desktop) or PCMCIA HDSP cardbus (laptop). RME is providing really top quality gears. Save up money and invest in those if you care about high...

I could use fan controllers driven by the OS or kernel but I don't, I use a hardware controller that came with the fans. I never ever had to turn those up. But remember : I use this PC for audio ONLY, no 3D gaming, no overclocking, no fancy multimedia stuff, no nothing except recording, editing, mas...

studio32 : check my PC gears in the thread where I describe my studio. For fans, I think Zalman is unbeatable. I have a few passive coolers for my HDs and one huge fan for the Core 2 Duo CPU which produces so little noise at low speed (and the temperature variations do not require higher speeds than...

I don't really know what to say here because I never practice with headphones. I even think it would not be too wise to do it all the time due to different reasons : - volume (damaging in the long run as you will tend to increase the volume with time) - sound shape (what you get in the headphones wi...

Hey! I just found this great forum about studio design. The guy animating it is John Sayers, a pro designer who got involved in many different studio projects. It is simply a goldmine of information if you plan to build something from scratch that aims at sounding profrssional (but I guess that this...

what is it you want to do with headphones ? If it's mixing stuff, eq'ing, etc, forget it. If you want to record acoustic stuff with background music to guide you, you need sealed headphones so that the music you hear in them does not leak into the microphone you're using for your acoustic recording ...

The Roskilde music festival in Denmark has started (like each year). What makes this year special is ... the weather! the forecast looks very good, unlike the torrential rain of last year (I was there, a disaster). This year, bands like Radiohead, Kings of Leon, the Chemical Borthers, are performing...

what price range ?
I got myself a Fender Jazz bass (made in US) for 500 euros (not a second hand, limited discount) about a year ago at musik-service.de (excellent place, quick feedback, etc). They have inexpensive basses as well :
