Dont save them at 192k.
When you upsample, it only adds zeros to the front of the number.
00000000012345 is not 'better' than 12345, it just takes up more space.

If you are going to edit the...

No. Microphones and preamps put out voltage and that needs to be translated into numbers for the computer.

You need an interface so the current from the mic is translated to numbers for the...

They are 'rocking' because they are lying to you by 'enhancing' the sound. As I said, for gaming.

That is not what you want for music production.
Your mixes will sound bad on anything but your...

No. Midi is not audio, just numbers. A midi adapter will not work.

A usb mic has a cheap audio interface built into it. That has to plug into a computer.

You need to get a regular usb audio...

Creative = gamer
They are build primarily as card for gamers to "enhance the experience" which means fudging the sound.
Music production cards are built to be honest.

Yes a sound card is an...

So you want to play the equivalent of a stand-alone vst host WHILE sending the data to a sequencer?
I don't see the value of that since the sequencer can do that with a vst internally, but it sounds...

Dont understand.

Are you trying to make the keyboard drive a software vsti or a hardware midi synth box?
Because that's certainly do-able. I do it all the time.

Or are you getting delays or...

This article shows some common techniques.

And it shows moleskin packaging. Dr. Scholl's sells them here in the US as foot pads. Got to be an equivilent there.

You might get that on 5.1 surround audio streams where the dialog is only in the center channel.
But not in a mixed stereo stream and not on 2-channel headphones.
And it would be doubtful on '80s...

Nope. There are some tricks to try to remove the center of the stereo spread on songs, but it's hit and miss at best
and no computer is smart enough yet to really de-construct stuff.

Could be anything. BTW: Turning up the volume, I can swear I hear you take a breath in there. Did you mic a speaker?

Do you have everything plugged into the same electrical socket? (you should)...

When my wife got an iPhone, I was disappointed that the iPhone didn't just show up on my iMac as a drive like my cheap LG cellphone.

I found a program called Senuti (itunes spelled backwards) for...

I think you are thinking that each individual instrument can be moved in a stereo mix.

No, they can't.

Instruments are not pure frequencies and you cannot 'unmix' what has been mixed.
It's not...

Sound Forge, as all product do, has a searchable help function.
If you're going to use it at all, I'd suggest you get a book (Sound Forge Power by Scott Garrigus is excellent) to learn how to use...

Yea, just save your money and just use the M-Audio. Far better quality.

(I had a Turtle Beach card in one of my son's gaming pc's. You can't really tell any difference from the stock soundcards.)

Sounds like you are on your way then.

Converters are a hot topic on the boards right now. The hype is huge. So you have to keep things in perspective.
Once you have a really good room, with...

Well you're already using better pre's so the question you have to ask yourself is: why?

The interface chips are only a tiny difference. You may have other ways to improve your setup.

Copy the files off the bad drive using linux onto one of the other drives if you can.

Then reformat it.

If it gives you any problems, don't trust it just get a new one.

Determine how much you can afford.
Get as many inputs/outputs than you THINK you'll need. (you'll always want more)
Look around for reviews on the stability and frequent upgrades of the drivers.
...

You are going to a lot of trouble when you shouldn't use the built-in soundcard at all.

They are made with about 50cents worth of chips for cheap beeps, boops, and gaming.

Just plan on getting...

Computers aren't that smart yet.

You can certainly do it manually, but nothing will do it automatically.

you should try to return it.

You have to read the fine print and specs on usb mixers as this is a common (well, I won't say scam... I'll just think it.)

and if you go looking for free downloads, dont come crying when your system pukes from the viruses and trojans....

Audacity is free and works on all platforms.

Cubase is good but you should really check out Reaper.

Only $60 but matches the far more expensive products.
The 'demo' is the full product and uncrippled so you can try it out.
