Dear Music Diary, I wrote some posts about the difficulties I was having recording a recently acquired analog drum machine. The sound was either clipping or too quiet. I had some good suggestions for ways to compress the drum sounds and those were much appreciated but I finally solved the problem by getting a firewire sound card--the MOTU 828mkii. The audio/digital converters are better than my three year old computer's and the sound is just generally better. I'm using it with a laptop, also recently acquired, which has more RAM and is also better and faster as a music-making machine. Also I can use two screens with it. So once again production will slow down as I migrate programs and sound files to the new environment.
Hooray for MOTU!
I have a MOTU 828 and love it, love it, LOVE IT!
Good move -- a quality A/D and D/A setup is crucial.
I've been using the Digidesign MBox for a couple of years now and I've been really pleased with it. Just upgraded to Pro Tools 7 yesterday...
