There isnt any functional difference between AU and VST. VST is the steinberg standard and AU (audio units) is apple's. Basically Nuendo and Cubase use VST's and Logic and Digital Performer use AU's ...

I dont think BIAB supports any of those plug-in formats. Garage band sounds good because its using a sample library that was installed with the program. Its simply using midi to interface with that ...

I havent messed with one quite yet but the specs on even the $499 one are almost identical to my Powerbook. I've managed to record an entire album on this thing so I'd imagine you could do the same w ...

The lightscribe burning is rediculous. I tested one out and it took about 30 minutes to do. That is insane and it looks like crap. Just get an Epson R200 and it'll look 100x better and cost less.

It looks pretty cool but I'd vote against it just because its not nearly as common as vBullitin. That can really become an issue in the future when you need to upgrade again. A lot of boards have an ...

I'm taking lessons with Gary right now and he plays the Rains during our lessons. It looks and sounds great but its hard to tell if its the guitar or Gary!

I jsut did a project with the EPson 4180 and it did a wonderful job. I was scanning really old slides to make new prints of them and they looked great. I think its around $199.

Yeah, phpbb is a great forum for small stuff like a bands message board but a site like this should really be on vBulliten. Does it have the capability of converting ubb into a MySql database?

I'm sooo glad to see that you are considering this. Any good board nowadays runs on PHP and MySql so you'll have to see if your freebsd server is running that (I would hope so). The advantages to PH ...

I would seriously give iTunes another look. If there is one music store that will survive this mess of new music stores, its iTunes. One thing you might consider is what MP3 player you will get in t ...

You have to have one of those Epson printers. The ones you can buy now are the ones I mentioned, R200, R320. They have a little tray that you put the cd in and it sucks it in through the front.

I'm a very happy Epson R300 owner and I just started printing cds with it. It blew me away how good they looked. Either the R200, R300, and the newer R320 all print cds as well as being some of the ...

The newer brushed metal Apple monitors are all DVI which some PC's have, otherwise you just use an adapter or get a better video card with DVI. The older more plastic-y looking Apple displays are ADC ...

Anyone else think it might be time for another forum upgrade? With better boards like phpbb2 and vbulletin that are out now, ubb is kinda ancient as far as boards go.

I wouldnt say that firefox is just another browser, its also much more secure. IE has had tons of security holes exploited in the last couple years and those of you guys using windows need all the he ...

Did you try defragmenting your hard drive yet? Its very common for windows to be misreading that if it hasnt been defragmented for a while. Another thing I usually do to find where huge files are is ...

Personally, I would stay away from WMA. Its the least popular of the more popular formats right now. I've never used the windows recorder with the plus digital media add on, but if its like any oth ...
