What are yer plans for use???

[The_Lurker]

man o man that's nice .....you must be planning to do some studio work with that baby.

[eagle1]

Music must be his thing... because I'm sure almost nobody will buy this thing to play mp3's or max payne!!!

Definitely some editing or something he is involved into.!

[zskillz]

yes... I'm planning on doing as much studio work as I can with it. I have found that with this sort of card you can make professional quality recordings (understandably) for whatever your purposes.

thanks guys!

Professional quality recordings? with a 400$ soundcard? Still wondering how you plan on using it? What other hardware are you planning on using?

[eagle1]

Hey zskills!
Now you have the card but what software do you reccomend for doing some music (be it editing, mixing, etc.)

I have browsed in harmony central but I want the opinion of someone who has use some of the software before.!!

Also, what instruments do you play?

[Yar1182]

I noticed it has not optical conection. Personally I think you might need that one.

[zskillz]

look... i'll be totally honest. I'm in a band, I've seen my guitarist use our equiptment and the integrated sound card on his computer to make recordings that are, once mastered and sequenced, I believe close enough to professional caliber to be considered that.

eagle, he uses Cubase, I have it, and am learning it extremely slowly. I have never used a program with such a difficult learning curve.

regardless, I'm pretty quick to learn this stuff, and definately dedicated, so we'll see what happens.

oh yea, I'm the sax player, and here's my band www.twelvecents.com (http://www.twelvecents.com) ... we're playing in downtown denver on the 16th of this month. so if any of you are around, please come by!!!

I have alway read that cakewalk is a good program. I never used it.
I checked out the website, why is there no samples? I would like to here what yall sound like.

[zskillz]

from what I understand, cakewalk and cubase are both sequencers, so that it's really a matter of preference.

under the Merch section of the website, there are samples... I would suggest listening to all of them, cause I (*biased opinion here) think that they're all great!!

[japerritt]

Zskills,
I checked the website once again. I like the music very much. I thought the music was tight.I personally thought the vocals were alittle weak, or atleast not to my likings. The vocals on "meant to be" sounded better to me, that the same guy singing that?
I am not trying to be rude by giving my opinion of the vocals, Just offering constructive criticism.

[Warthog]

I'm sure almost nobody will buy this thing to play mp3's or max payne!!!

pffffft....no way in hell! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

Warthog

[zskillz]

yes... no offence taken since it was given in a constructive manner! We've heard that before, but I believe you would change your mind if you saw us live. He has a fantastic/tremendous stage presence and really gets the audience involved in the music. Regardless, that's a fairly limited sample of what we play. Though we do play lots of songs like that we also play a extremly wide (stylistically speaking) other group of songs.

anyway.. if you're ever in the CO area, drop by the website and leave us an email so we can give you some details of where we're next playing.

I'll try and put some of our other songs up on a site for you to listen to, but I'm not at my house right now, so I can't do that for a while!
