    Musical Movies (and Movie-like Music)

    I think Fight Club is a pretty good example of a musical movie. I think it might go well with something dark or industrial. There are some obvious examples, like Fantasia and Yellow Submarine, that actually go with music. Theres bound to be other stuff that goes with them as well. One time my...

    Musical Movies (and Movie-like Music)

    I've been interested in the relationship between music and movies lately. A few months ago I saw Dark Side of the Rainbow for the first time. If you've never tried it, Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon syncs up perfectly with the Wizard of Oz if you start the album after the third roar of the...

    Connecting E-guitar to computer

    In my experience, plugging an electric guitar into a computer is not a good idea. It will most likely sound awful on your speakers. I have no idea how they sound, but I stumbled upon this at Musicians Friend. Behringer iAXE393 USB Electric Guitar online at Musician's Friend It's a USB...

    Annoying pops and crackles

    try disabling your wireless card. For some reason, it interferes a whole lot with the sound. I have a very similar laptop with Conexant HD Audio as well. I used to run my speakers out of the headphone jack. I would highly recommend upgrading to a USB Dac. It's a pretty big difference.

    Best YES. PLUS progressive recommendations

    First off, congratulations for listening to awesome music. My personal favorite album by Yes is Relayer, but I wouldn't consider it their most influential work. I like Relayer because it's kind of a concept album, that is the music and the lyrics tell a story loosely based on War and Peace...

    Cannot sample at 192khz

    If you're plugged into a USB 1.1 jack, I'm pretty sure you won't have the bandwidth to sample at anything above 48kHz. Make sure you're plugged into a USB 2.0 jack. If it works now, you probably are. In my experience, SRC has been very CPU intensive especially without ASIO. With my 0404 using...

    0404USB and mic Compatibility.

    The XLR jack on the 0404 is a combo jack. There's a 1/4" input in the middle of it. Just use a common 1/4" to mini converter.

    Anyone actually use the 0404 primarily to record?

    When I connect my guitar directly into the input jack, I get a very loud hum that I don't get with my amp. My strat has some pretty hot pickups though. That's a pretty sloppy way to record electric guitar anyway so I'm not concerned. I've done some voice and acoustic guitar recording with a...

    Emu 0404 USB - waste of money unless recording?

    Emu 0404 USB - waste of money unless recording?

    It sounds like that reviewer doesn't know what he's talking about. If theres one thing I've learned from Amazon.com reviews (and youtube comments, and most other forums) it's that people who use the internet are idiots. You don't even know if that guy has ever heard an 0404. Most likely he's...

    emu 0404 usb beta driver expired

    yeah! what the heck is their deal taking so long to release the official vista drivers? On the other hand, we all bought the 0404 knowing we would have to use the beta drivers. It was worth it to me. The new driver seems much more stable than the old driver, and it wasn't much of a hassle to...

    EMU 0404 Vista Beta Drivers

    There have been a few blue screens of death since I first installed the drivers. Music production is next to impossible. The computer doesn't recognize the unit anymore. The drivers have been refreshed as of yesterday. I uninstalled the drivers from October and will now attempt to use the...

    EMU 0404 Vista Beta Drivers

    update: The system is now very stable and everything sounds great. It seems to use 100% of Core2 when music is playing, but I think that's normal. System performance is acceptable. I tested midi out and both of the line ins and they work just fine. The Vista Beta drivers seem to work great...

    EMU 0404 Vista Beta Drivers

    just installed the emu-0404 usb onto my laptop running vista 32 bit with mixed results. I installed the beta drivers from October from EMU's support website. They expire on January 17th (not really sure what "expire" means) so I speculate the real drivers will come out very soon. The...

    EMU 0404 Vista Beta Drivers

    UPS should have my 0404usb here in a few hours. I plan on using the beta vista drivers. I'll tell you how it goes. I'm not optimistic.
