Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Buy an external audio interface ... that's what we call the next step up in sound cards. Audio interface lol.

    Hey there are also some really nice M-Audio audio interfaces that are external and hook up via firewire or USB and are cheaper than the Mbox2.

    Here ya go ...

    M-Audio

    M-Audio is a really cool company that make affordable high quality project and "semi-uberprofessional" equipment ... aka prosumer stuff. Their Trigger Finger MIDI drum device is awesome. Lets you have the feel of an Akai MPC without having to drop over a grand for the box. Basically it lets you trigger internal sounds that reside in your computer via MIDI. Only $200 ...

    Here it is ...

    M-Audio Trigger Finger ...

    The nice thing about this device is that unlike an MPC that is limited in sample time by memory your PC is not ... well actually your PC is as well but not as much as an MPC. lol Also if you have ever edited on an MPC or a SP1200 or any other external drum machine you'll know what a pain it is doing all that editing in a LCD window the size of an envelope address label. In your PC you get to edit using a full monitor with great resolution.

    This is why I suggested the MBox2 because you'll also get a crapload of great software to use with your MBox, primarily, the main reason why ppl buy the MBox2, ProTools LE. With that program alone (I won't lie there is a steep learning curve but the time invested will be well worth the time it takes to learn) you can bring your ProTools LE project on CD-Rom(s) to ANY STUDIO IN THE WORLD, because they're all running ProTools TDM, and instantly pull up your project and start working.

    The MBox2 also comes with Abelton Live, Reason, Sampletank and a few other programs that are trial only but give you a good idea of how they work. What you have to understand is that through a function called Rewire you can use all of these programs simultaneously to make one cohesive track. All of these programs, including things like Emagics Logic and a ton of others, can all be "slaves" of the ProTools software. Example ... you make a beat in Reason ... create some synth lines in Sampletank ... record your voice into ProTools ... add some sampled sequenced material through Abelton Live and "Wa La" press space bar on your keyboard in ProTools and everything else plays back together at the same time.

    Also the MBox has Focusrite preamps for your Mic which means you'll sound better than you ever have in many regards.

    I know that's allot of info but it's really just the tip of the iceberg in terms of this collection of software and equipment. I could keep writing but all I think you really want to know is what should you do NOW ... that's why I bolded the first thing I wrote. If that's all you want to know then that's all I have to say, but if you want to know where to go from there or expand your project studio then follow the above advice. Trust me !!

          Try not to sound too excited lol

          Just kidding ... it's like the "thanks ..." A. "... for letting me know my card sux" or B. "I have to spend more money then I was planning on" and finally C. "... I already bought the crappy sound card."

          Hope it's B. that's ok heheh

          It's not the end of the world if you get a Audigy or whatever but be prepared to grow out of it fast. Do what you can within your budget but keep in mind saving those $$ for something better will yield better results across the board.

                    Haha.

                    Nah, I don't know. I think I might get a new computer faster than I thought, and that comes with the sound card I was talking about. Shouldn't I stick with that? I heard it was good.
