Hello,
I am looking for some good hardware and software that could connect an electric guitar to a computer.
Has anyone tried the Creative Labs Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro sound card with the external hub? If not, do you have any suggestions for hardware that passes good sound quality to a piece of software?
As for software, the Cakewalk Sonar 4 Producer seems to have lots of features. Do you have any other suggestions for software?
Thanks for the help,
Mitch

You can't connect a guitar an a computer just like that. You could, but it will sound like crap.
You need a preamp. For best sound, mic a guitar cabinet with a Shure SM-57 microphone, run it through a mic preamp or a mixer that has mic pre and then go into the computer.

A guitar preamp is different than a mic preamp. Pluging it directly into this card will produce sound, but nothing very good. It will be thin, kind of "razor sound".

Hello,
Would a Boss ME-50 (http://www.bosscorp.co.jp/products/en/ME-50/index.html[^]) be considered a pre-amp?
Also, if the Boss ME-50 would be considered a preamp, would I need a special soundcard (such as the Creative Labs Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro), or could I use the line-in (the port that has a music note on it) on the current sound card directly?
Thanks,
Mitch

The ME-50 has an unbalanced preamp out so, yes, you could use it as a Mic preamp.
The better the soundcard, the better the sound. Depending on what type of recording you're looking after, you might want to get a better audio card.
Check out www.echoaudio.com[^].

You can actually get a pickup that allows you to connect a guitar, and the accompanying software generates tab from what you play.

Yes, a MIDI pickup. But last I heard, they were not very reliable. Maybe things have changed since I got out of the proaudio industry, though!

I'm looking for a low-profile AGP Graphics card with (at least) dual DVI outputs.
There are plenty of dual-DVI cards on the market, but since I need a low-profile version there aren't too many to choose from.
I've so far only come accross the Matrox Millenium G550[^], but it has only 32MBs of RAM. That seems a bit low for a new card now...
Any recomandations?

A 3D one if I can find it... (But maybe thats a "nice-to-have" and not a "need-to-have".) Its for my home computer...
Thanks for the links. I'll look into those...

how soon do you need it? almost everything is going dual DVI soon. There was one half-height 3D card that was AGP based, but it isn't released yet. I haven't seen any others.

hi there,
i've bought a new hdd (160 gigs). my box was running prior with one hdd 80 gigs (master) and a second hdd 40 gigs (slave). i rearranged the hdds now so, that the 160 is master and the 80 is slave (the reason for the update was, that the 40 gigs died).
after hardware installation, the bios says I'm having a 160g as the master (correct) and a 32g as the slave (wtf???). upon examining the bios settings of the slave hdd, I learn that the type of the hdd is correct, only that there are a couple of gigs missing (48, to be precise).
for testing purposes I've taken a different hdd from a completely different box and exchanged it with the current slave. bios reflects the hdd change (the type of the new hdd is displayed), but still shows me 32g as the maximum capacity.
it seems that bios has persistet those 32g max capacity somehow. not knowing what to do next, i removed the battery of the bios for some time and retried. still, the max capacity is set to 32g.
looking up the documentation of the motherboard (asrock k7 upgrade 600) i couldn't find any information as of how to reset the bios.
i usually don't suffix my postings with 'Urgent', but in this case i'm pretty desperate, since this is my devbox and as a freelancer, I've got to get back to work tomorrow...
any hints are very welcome!

Probably not much of an hint as I don't remember how it was called, but I think most motherboards have a jumper which - when set - resets the bios when you turn on the computer. From my experiences so far this jumper is mostly seperated from others on the Mb.

What is the make/model of your HDD?
I know the Hitachi 80GB models have a jumper to restrict the size to 32GB. Is it possible that you have set this jumper by accident?

If you put the new drive in place of the 160GB that is reported correctly, does it still say its 32GB?
I would also try putting the second drive as primary on the second IDE channel.

(from an earlier reply)...I recall that some older BIOSs do not support the 48-bit LBA that is needed to access more than 128GB on a drive. See this[^]
Also, there was an earlier BIOS max of 32GB. Did you chech the motherboard manufacturere website to see if they have a BIOS upgrade available for your board?
Also according to this[^] Win2K FAT32 partitions can be no more than 32GB.

Although it shouldn't affect this, verify that LBA (Logical Block Addressing) is enabled in the BIOS. This used to be an issue back in the bad old days of Win95/98 at the 528MB disk size boundary. I wouldn't expect this to help, but you sound desperate - let's try anything at all that might help. 
Have you checked for a BIOS update from the MB manufacturer? That would be my next step. In the meantime you might try moving the 80GB drive to the secondary IDE channel and let it be Master there.
