I guess if you are well into your music, you want to naturally progress to the next level. I am 26 years old & first got into music at the age of about 11 or 12 then in my teens I really wanted my first
pair of decks which I bought with my inheritance! My Dad was not pleased at all hoping I was going to buy a car instead.... 13 years later I still have no car!
After about a year or so of Djing, I wanted to start producing myself but not being in any major rush, I researched here & there... I already owned an Amiga 500 computer (Commodore) so this was a good start although I later find out that the preferred PC of choice at the time (1990's) was the Atari ST (great for sequencing) I faffed about with the Amiga for a while, but didn't really get much further than looping some breaks & maybe a few chords here and there!
Being bang into the club scene as well I found little time to write tunes, tending to focus most of my time on partying, drinking & generally having a bloody good time!
The last three years I have been 'bedroom producing' and written quite a few tracks. I would say my style is a heavy mix of old skool, breakbeat, acid, electro, techno, trance & drum & bass!
My list of equipment that I use regualry to produce my tracks is listed below:
SOFTWARE:
Emagic Logic 5.5.1
Propellerheads Recycle 2
Sony Acid Pro 5
Sony SoundForge 8
Syntrillium Cool Edit Pro 2
Vanguard VST
Spectrasonics Stylus
Spectrasonics Trilogy
Spectrasonics Atmosphere
Z3ta+
T-Racks
HARDWARE:
Evolution MK249c Midi Controller
Pentium Core Duo
2GB Ram
ATI Radeon X800 GT Graphics card
M-Audio Audiophile 2496 Soundcard
Obviously I didn't buy all this at once! I slowly built it up over time, borrowed bits from friends etc, downloaded stuff from the net, sampled my own lyrics effects etc. In the next few weeks I will try & list resources for free samples, software, etc. WATCH THIS SPACE!!

Hello, thank you for sharing your studio setup with us.
I have a similar setup - Logic 5.5 on the PC and the Audiophile 2496 and I'm having some trouble getting things working.
I'm curious if you wouldn't mind sharing your settings with respect to Logic and the Audiophile, i.e., what are your settings for the Audiophile control panel itself, and then, how do you have Logic configured to interface with it?
I'd like to get both the analog (RCA) inputs as well as the S/PDIF input configured for recording.
If you don't mind, it would be GREATLY appreciated - thanks in advance!
Hi
I have installed the standard 2496 Driver from the internet and have not touched any of the settings whatsoever on the 'M-Audio Delta Audio' control panel.
In logic 5.5.1 if you go into Global Preferences i have my setup running in ASIO, i this seems to work fine with me. Also these soundcards have a great latency rate for the price.
What sort of problems are you having as its hard to advise you without knowing the issue. Have a look at the screenshots attached and see if they help at all... Let me know how you get on..

My apologies for the delay. Thank you for reply, and for posting the screen shots.
I have not tried the ASIO configuration, so I will try that today and report back.
Best regards,
ASIO eliminated the headaches I was experiencing! Working directly with the M-Audio control panel is much easier. Thanks!
No problem antonio - glad to help & sorry for my late reply also!
