At the moment we still use cheap computer speakers. We will be buying a new computer sometime this year. I will get all the good stuff with it, incl better speakers.


myLot reputation of 81/100. christianjnorman (255)  6 years ago

if you wanna buy good ones... then go for Altec Lansing.... coz even the cheap models sound really good.... or else if ya' dont wanna buy a new one nd save money.... i recommend you to get your stereo speakers in your house.... coz even the normal ones sound so good.... you can use it as well as for hearing songs

I am using an Altec Lansing stereo surround external speaker in my PC. I use it when I listen some of my good collection of MP3 and MP4 and sometimes I used it when I watch DVD movie in my PC. Sometime I used a headphone.

I have Creative Inspire 5.1 speakers.
I`ve noticed that a 2.1 speaker setup is best for music. To get real surround u need to have a soundcard supporting surround (not the virtual one), surround speakers(of course) and invest some time in the placement of the speakers in the room. Since i need the speakers primarily for music,a 2.1 system is ideal for me. The gaming and movies aspect of the speakers are secondary.An added plus with a 2.1 setup is that u have less cables to worry about.
Which soundcard do u have? and do u record drums too? How? I`d love to know.


myLot reputation of 81/100. christianjnorman (255)  6 years ago

cool man.... nyways i have an m-audio audiophile 2496.... i know its old but i just play the drums and record it wit that coz thats enuf for my recordings ... i use many plugins but sometimes i record the drums with the midi keyboard.... its always better if i record it live with the metro on in ma' headphones... im tryna get one tama too....


Kilrone (45)   ranked 1,352 out of 8,746 in computers  6 years ago

That's 2 best responses in a row !...Thanks,man.
have heard about m-audio a lot. never used it though.. doesn`t matter how old it is as long as it satisfy ur needs.
How many inputs can u use in the present setup u have?
I hear recording drums is quite a pain in the...
That u need mics with differing frequencies to record all the
components..etc..
Midi can never sound as good as an authentic sound,in my humble opinion, no matter what sound banks u use. But when recording live is such a hassle, i guess it makes more sense to go midi.


myLot reputation of 81/100. christianjnorman (255)  6 years ago

yup nd the other sould make your to be 3.... coz you typr a lot too nd also good onez... k anywayz back to the topic..... i usually use live ... coz somehow i manage some shure mic's on each of the kit's equipment.... sometimes its better to use the midi pad with which you can take all the touch responses nd also the sound to a vst which actually gives 1270 different sounds for a single kit... its with ezdrummer... sometimes its very easy to use it... so i feel much comfortable to use that...


Kilrone (45)   ranked 1,352 out of 8,746 in computers  6 years ago

Best to stick with what you are comfortable with.
Tried Fruity Loops? or Acid?
Heard they're good for drums programming.


myLot reputation of 81/100. christianjnorman (255)  6 years ago

fruity loops is one of the best for drum programming only because its user friendly... just now they released version 7.... i wuz using the XXL edition and before that version 6... but i think sony acid is crap.... i've never used acid, but in ma' studio they said its crap...

I'm since I have a soundcard arround 10 years ago always using computer speaker, but right now I split the out put from my soundcard to pc speakers and to my deck tape amplifier, so when I hear some music, I just turn the deck amplifier on to get a better sound quality.
