<" The problem I find is most people don't read the instruction manuals, or look at the pictures etc. I have tried to help people in person before. I ask them where the manual is for their equipment and I get a deer in the headlights look." >

I agree and it seems to be a common thread throughout this particular discussion. Of course there's also the issue of novices not understanding computers, interfaces, Windows, Asio drivers and the difference between MIDI and audio.

It's true helpers are at a loss when a person has an issue and doesn't provide any information other than it's a computer, and some kind of 'thing' that supposed to have a microphone connection so it will record to his computer and BIAB tracks.

It's different if someone were to post a problem with perhaps, a Tascam DP-24. No problem. No manual necessary, no specs are necessary. That person's DP-24 is the same as everyone else's DP-24. Same hardware, same firmware, same specs, same screen, same OS, same editing features and the same knobs, buttons, switches, inputs, outputs and routing. So anyone familiar with that device can help and have that user up and running in minutes.

These hardware devices are ideally suited and work extremely well with a program like BIAB that's generating high quality tracks to work with.
