Hi techies,
Based on some advice I received on this list, a few months ago I bought a
Dell Inspiron 4100 (i gig pentium processor, 128 meg ram running Win 2K) PC
laptop to do music with. Only now have I started to kit it out to do music.
I thought that I would get a USB box for audio because they're cheap. First
I got a Midiman Quattro (audio+midi) which didn't work in the way it was
supposed to (driver problems) so I sent that back and got an Edirol UA-5
and a Midiman 2x2. The midiman box didn't work (my laptop certainly doesn't
like Midiman...) and the recording on the Edirol is full of pops and noise
and I've fiddled with it for ages with no resolution of the problems. Has
anyone else experienced problems like this? When I spoke to the shop that I
got these bits from, they told me that they have a lot of trouble with PC
laptops and have known issues with many of these USB boxes. I think that I
have two options: either get a PCMCIA card for the machine that I have
(more expensive, possibly becoming obsolete? but more reliable than USB) or
just get a Mac and start making music instead of playing around with
control panels and audio settings. Agggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! What
do you think?
Regards, Al
