hello fellow TA´s, i want to change my sb live for a new sound card, im willing to spend up to 200 dollars, i think im going to buy the Midiman Audiophile 24/96... anyone knows where i can get it online at a good online store wich has ssl and all that for orders? (has to be in the US)
thanks:D
ps: do u think i made the right choice with the audiophile card? |

I think these are sister companies related to guitar center..
www.musiciansfriend.com
www.zzounds.com
ebay.com doesnt have all the nifty features like ssl but U can find companies selling their products at very reasonable prices, lower than from a audio site like musiciansfriend.
An yes m-audio products are definately good, and ive seen some good ones on ebay, remember as I sed there are companies on ebay selling products, with very high feedback ratings so when buying from a company (you can tell in the description) dont be worried.
Search for audiophile on these forums, or m-audio.. you will find alot of posts relating to it. |

hi rob, quick reply :)
i was just looking at zzounds, they seem to be reliable and they have good prices, 149 for the audiophile and a midi keyboard (controller) to add later is quite cheap, so i think i might get it there, do u know anyone who has ordered there?
thanks! |

My brother ordered a guitar from there, and it was very professional, simple order form and delivery just like amazon and all those online stores.. but remmeber man u can get good products from ebay..

Doesnt look like there are that good of deals but in the future just check ebay, I know its good for hard synths..
You most likely will not have problems with zzsounds, or musiciansfriend.com |

thanks, i think ill get it there
i checked your ebay link, and there are good deals but i dont want to take any risks. i would buy off ebay if u could go and meet the seller in person
rob: im downloading your song right now, ill post my comments later :)
btw, i have a small keyboard (like a little piano) and i want to start learning, do u know where can i get some music theory nfo(books, sites, etc) or tabs of songs to practise? |

glad u liked the track, now for music theory/piano here are some sites i visit...
www.completechords.com really interesting, it goes in depth about why music sounds the way it does.
http://www.learnpianoonline.com/login.html good piano site to get started, has a few online free lessons..
http://www.musictheory.net/ good musical theory site, has good flash animations, I would personally recommend this site.
For learning songs I open a midi track in flstudio, and then learn the notes.. I dont think there are tabs for piano, basically its just reading sheet music..
Enjoy. |

if there happens to be a Guitar Center store nearby you, go there to get that soundcard. I bought one last week and it was $139.99, $10 less than the online price.

i still have to sell my old sound blaster so i have time to check for more places to buy, but the price seems to be around 150 usd...
rob: what did u use to make that track?
aura: yes, ive tought about ebay, but there are so many scams these days, that i like buying off a known store or pay on delivery... |
