Is Mac worth it anymore?
May 10, 2010 Recording
I bought my Dual 2 gig mac power pc in 06. After all the memory, 10k rpm hard drives, bells and whistles, i spent almost 5k, which equates to $1,250 a year to use the mac(i won’t even get into the fact that they dusted me right after i bought it with the intel switch) With these new intel 7’s, I can build a Pro tools LE specific pc with 8 cores for about $1,500!, and if i use it for 4 years, it’ll be $375 a year! I love the mac OSX(although i’m cut off at 10.5.8) I’m kinda POed about itgrrr

Connecting mixer to my PC.
May 7, 2010 Recording
Greetings, First of all, I’m new to this forum, and I thought I’d register since I’m in the middle of gathering equipment and setting up my recording studio in my room 
I went through my dads stash and found a Mixim 10 mixer, which is rather compact and seems perfect for my use, since it has phantom power for the new condenser microphone I’m going to buy after I get some help from you guys setting it up on my computer 
I’ve successfully managed to connect the mixer with my Crown Powertech 3 amplifier, but after trying it out a few times I figure it’s too big and too much pwoer to use in my small little room :rolleyes:. So, I decided to use the mixer as a pre-amp for my microphone instead. I did manage connect the mixer to the computer with my Behringer XM1800S microphone, but I had this signal in the background whenever I did recording so I don’t know whether I did something wrong or what ti might be :laughings: My computer specs are as follows: CPU: Intel Core i7 (2.66GHz) Sound Card: ASUS Xonar DX RAM: 6gb Mixim 10 Manual: http://www.devicemanuals.com/guide/A…lRreE5UST.html Note: If this is in the wrong section, please feel free to move this post, but please PM me the new destination
