Hardware breakdown –> No good bad music!

As if I needed to have more proof for the righteousness of my ungodliness! Just when I was ripping HUGH BEAUMONT EXPERIENCE‘s “Cone Johneson” 7″EP for Good Bad Music, my cheap ass recording interface broke down. Recording quality had suffered more and more over the last few days so it wasn’t really surprising.
It sucks the big one however because before I can continue my little shit blog, I will first have to have a new USB- or Firewire interface. These things are rather expensive so I’m afraid it might take a while before I can afford one. As always, the Donations-button is there for those who want to help out.

    Thanks Bernard!

    “Gorehound” recommended an M-Audio 410 interface, but I’m afraid this is out of my range.
    These thing cost between ca. 40$ to 2000$.

    For one who’ll only record vinyl and cassetes. Wich one is the best to go with? What equipment did you use Erich? Myself simply plug a cable into my old Soundblaser soundcard. Guess it will make a big difference to have an M-Audio?

    THANKS MUCH AGAIN JASON! I followed your advise and just bought me an M-Audio Audiophile interface (where I live, the exact same thing costs TWICE AS MUCH!!).

    Expect the Blog to be back on track with improved audio quality within the next 7 days ca.

    You guysd ought to realize that using those little 1/8″ connections is not going to give the sound that even a regular size RCA would.

    1.Use Decent Cabling
    2.Try not to use the soundcard in the computer (PCI)there is noise from the motherboard and internal electronics.
    3.try to use 1/4″ or RCA size wiring.

    the better the wiring the better the sound.Audio needs a good size cable to be able to freely move all the bandwidth possible.

    Let’s put it this way: Donations are always welcome and even they would increase remarkably in number, they’d still not be covering the expenses of such a blog (no, I’m not talking about the necessities of wine, cigarettes and coke).

    The fuckers still haven’t shipped out the interface I bought 3 days ago. No wonder the U.S. economy is so weak.

    I don’t categorize music in european and non-european, sorry. it’s good and bad and good bad and bad bad. be more specific!

    the interface is now at the customs and will hopefully soon be deliverd!
