once u get the samson USB do let me know. would like to hear how well it fares. interested in getting one too due to its portability. would be a great for me to capture sounds for sound effects to be used in some video work

i actually do have a sennheiser e845s for sale. its not a condenser though. its here in KL with me.

if im not mistaken i saw the MIC100 at midi specialist(but that was a long time ago). not sure where to get shure products here though. maybe u can try bentley's 2nd floor?

mics in msia is quite expensive. take a look at my sennheiser, some sites go all the way down to USD149 so some local ppl expected the brand new price is close to that but in fact the price is closer to the 239 list price.

thats way overpriced. check this one out

anyone know where i can get VSTs for traditional instruments(esp traditional chinese instruments)?

yes this would be sufficient.

m-audio comes with ableton live lite.

i second led_zep_freak. im so used using USB and firewire as i travel with my laptop and midi controllers. PCI is good. it would be cheaper too. ive been using alot of m audio products and so far im quite happy with them. after all, most are m powered so if u're dead on serious about recording, u can always go for the m powered pro tools (industry standard). Line 6 Toneport UX2 is quite good too. if u wanna spend less time tweaking technical stuff and more to playing and just getting ur ideas recorded with a good tone, line6 is the way. however besides the gearbox software im not sure if they provide a DAW to record.

ive used several presonus products too but i find the prices kinda steep.
cubase is definitely better than ableton for your case but ableton is more towards live usage and midi/DJ but u can use it as a DAW too. Cubase on the other hand has a higher learning curve compared to ableton live.

i dont see them mentioning m audio ceasing production.
so far i dont think they will. theyre doing so good with more and more artist supporting them.

i think the cheapest PCI unit would be the EMU 0404.

saw this:

but a decent mic preamp on the soundcard is important too. of if ure getting mics make sure it has XLR. saves u the trouble of getting converters

recommended mic: sm57!

if u guys still havent heard, the m-audio fast track ultra is out. looks cool for those who want a USB interface.

definitely wouldnt be as cheap as the fasttrack USB. should be slightly higher than the fast track pro considering 8ins and 8 outs and pretty impressive preamps(for a unit such as this).

yea. online its 450usd whereas the fasttrack usb is usd129.

i remember listening to an audio engineering related podcast and they said even though those stuff works, during the grammy's everything was already programmed in so that was basically just for show. amazing cool toy though

if you do need a multipurpose mic, the sm57 is a must. ask any audio engineer and somehow they'll have a few sm57 lying around to be used.

hope this helps.

ive got a pdf file but its way too huge to attach.
