Was going to Tokyo to look at computers today, but... stopped at an African bar and got rather sidetracked.

NOTE: To all those people who told me that the black guy will rock your world, either you're full o' shit or I got gypped. Hmph!

But anyhow, maybe my failure computer-shopping trip was no biggie--for it looks like my friend smoking pig has opened up a whole new can o' worms.

DUUUUUDE!! We used one o' these in my old band and the recordings actually sounded fucking pro! Now why the hell didn't I think of using one of these thingies before?! Maybe perpetual alcoholism has something to do with it but now it looks like I've got yet another option to consider...

If I were to use one of these thingies, would the rest of my needed setup be pretty much the same, or would there be any +s or -s? Yeah I realize I should know this from having recorded with a band who used one previously but um, yeah I have this thing with paying attention.^-^; <---(You guys have really gotta get a proper embarrassed smiley around here... That way I don't have to use this weird-ass Japanese one.)

chances are that you will want to play around on a computer, also - cleaning things up, adding talent, etc..

The sweetwater page had a not shipping yet zr16 (?) that looked interesting. So, maybe a stand-alone recorder/mixer that doubles as a computer sound card/interface is a choice.

I think the lesson is that you don't need lots of computing power to record. You need lots of computing power to run the over-blown modern DAW like Cubase and Sonar and a bevy plug-ins. The older version of Magix Studio Deluxe v12 I got off eBay for $20 only requires Vista 32 and under, 700MHz processor, and 512 RAM. I can do quite a bit on the $500 Toshiba with a 1.8MHz Mobile and 3Gb RAM stock config.

Frankly, I urge you to look at the DAW downloadable Reaper v3. It is pretty slick. I recorded a hour and 20 minutes of audio and MIDI as a test and it all aligned perfectly with no set-up.
I may end-up buying it, but I'm more interested in MIDI and am used to Magix products.

Booze is good - one has to choose their vices carefully.

Can we please not talk about your sex life. The drummer thing was kind of funny, but seriously. You are starting to sound like a good one night stand.

Well I'm happy to help as much as I can. But I don't know how much more of the bright colors and smileys and overall energeticness I can take. It reminds me of the cheerleaders in high school. And they were only good for one thing (see the first part of this post).

This thread didn't turn into spaghetti but it sure turned to cold oatmeal.

GOOD GOD. Lemme tell ya a secret: Sex jokes are FUNNY (well...to me anyway), but if you think my jokes are an accurate measure of my real sex life (considering I like GIRLS), that's even funnier. Fuck. (this= both drummer and bar guy were meant to be HUMOR, Mr. Grouchy-pants, but damn, guess it's not your style.)

*Edit* Thought I'd throw in some color and smileys while Reaper downloads... seeing as you like them so much. LOL. Poo-head.

Shit, almost took my leave without issuing my proper thanks to dear Mr. Garww!

I picked up a lotta good info here and there but overall from what I've checked out your info was the most useful in my setup-picking process. I'm downloading that Reaper right now and have my other tools on order, so--many thanks. Here's to you, my good sir.

*** More fun is just choosing them all.
