Well, you may be perfectly right on the matter, but I guess the meter measures what's going on in the analog domain? That would mean that they measure what's going to the converters. If the Mac could never go past 0dB on the output in the digital domain your statement should be valid. So you are...

The red light is there for a reason. If you can hear distortion when Duet goes red just turn down the input a tad to get undistorted playback. That applies to all software sources used.

Just buy the 80 ohm version of the DT 770 PRO. The 250 ohm version will not give you any added value.

Well, based on my personal experience I would not recommend Cubase. I had to do too much tweaking and bug-fixing to get it running smoothly. And when I got the recommendation on the Steinberg forum NOT to upgrade a well working version of Cubase I just had enough. I switched to Logic. And have...

Both? To be covered?

Sorry, but I'm right in the middle of this. I'm so near at buying a 701 of the DT 880 right now. Or just the opposite. And my reference is the excellent studio phones HD600 and the Hi-Fi set D-2000. I really like them both. They are just enjoyable, both on their own terms. Any constructive...

Hi-Fi would never be portable. Let your wallet be the King. This place is best known for it's urge upgrade.

I had no expectation when I first listened to the Denon AH-D2000 for the first time. But it was just immense. Yes. Denon has made a really perfect Hi-Fi headset with the D-2000, whatever that means? It is very correct, just perfect Hi-Fi. It will put the nail on the spike. Well, it will roll of...

I may be repeating something said in some of the previous posts, but: If you want to record audio (vocals, guitar etc) and MIDI (synth or MIDI-controller) you would need an audio interface and a sequencer to get going. Pro Tools is the standard for the professional studios in the US. It's...

The Digidesign Mbox 2 would be a decent start. It includes the Pro Tools LE and some nice software and plug-ins.

Sorry Skylab, don't want to be negative, but do you really consider the Lisa III portable? How big would a non-portable amp be then?

I have a MacBook Pro coming in a few weeks time. I would like a closed/sealed headphone that works well straight out of the headphones out. Does anyone have experience with the MacBook Pro and ATH-ES7?

There seems to be no uniform quick fix to the problem. You may find a solution here: http://www.google.no/search?hl=no&q=...S%C3%B8k&meta= Your problem may very well be somewhere in the Windows registry. Hope this helps.

Did you uninstall the drivers for the soundcard before you reinstalled the drivers? If not, you could try this: Go to "Control Panel" > "Add or Remove Programs", and remove everything associated with the soundcard. Restart Windows. Reinstall the drivers for the soundcard. (Restart Windows...

Reinstall would solve the problem, but it's a lot of work if you don't have a good image-file of your system partition. It's pretty much your last option. I had the same problem as you, and managed to solve it in an rather easy way. But now I just can't remember what I actually did to solve...

CONS: 1) Difficult to adjust volume due to slippery and hard knob, and a too tight placement of the knob to the output jack. 2) Not that excellent connection in the output female jack. 3) A bit heavy. 4) Very energetic device that may accentuate the negative characteristics of certain...

1) Are you able to activate your soundcard in the Audio tab? 2) To check the "Windows Audio Services" you have to go here: Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools >Services It should read "started".

And the "Windows Audio" services is running? Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools >Services
