Hi fellow Philmusicians, please help me. Any suggestion would help. Planning to make my gaming rig to recording rig also. Please help me on these questions:

1.)Ano po magandang monitor speaker sa budget kong 10k below. I can stretch to 15k if the advantages of adding 5k to my budget will give me a more quality set of monitor speakers..Oks ba yung KRK Rokit Gen2? Oks kasi sa price at feedback sa mga sites...

2.) Audio interface na marerecomend nyo ( I have no idea about pricing on this one. Oks ba yung UCA-200 or 202). I would like to connect a mixer papunta sa PC ko via USB or RCA. Kung USB may built-in USB yung mixer (like yung Behringer Xenyx X series), do I still need audio interface or rekta na sa USB port sa mobo?

3.)Kailangan ko ba talaga ng soundcard? Please recommend me one or oks na ako kahit yung built-in sa motherboard ko? I'm planning to upgrade my board to 990FX series oks na ba built-in sound nun?


Thanks!

Ano specs ng gaming rig ninyo sir? Usually kapag gaming rig ok na yan for recording. Yung nag-upgrade ako ng PC gaming rig din kinuha ko pero hindi ko na sinama yung videocard kasi hindi naman yun need for recording. Yung mga onboard videocards ng mga motherboards sa ngayon solve na yun eh.

Ok na yung KRK bro basta minimum of 5" yung woofer para mamonitor mo rin yung low frequencies

2.) Audio interface na marerecomend nyo ( I have no idea about pricing on this one. Oks ba yung UCA-200 or 202). I would like to connect a mixer papunta sa PC ko via USB or RCA.

Personal LIKE ko yung Line6 UX2. Mura na yung binebenta sa classifieds for 8.5k bro. Pero solve na rin yung mga M-audio. Meron ata sa classifieds 4.5k pinakamura. Yung UCA kailangan mo pa ng mixer.
3.)Kailangan ko ba talaga ng soundcard? Please recommend me one or oks na ako kahit yung built-in sa motherboard ko? I'm planning to upgrade my board to 990FX series oks na ba built-in sound nun?
Yung audio interface mo bro yun na rin ang soundcard mo. About sa onboard soundcard ng motherboard, wag ka nang umasa dun.

Ah naswertehan lang sir. Ngayon madalang na ata yung mga unlockable na X2 eh. Basta mobo lang na may ACC support. I-on mo lang yung ACC sa bios ng mobo mo. Also you may or may not need to adjust voltage sa NB. (I adjusted mine kasi hindi kaya nung stock voltage kapag naka-OC to 3.8GHz). Disadvantage eh pag unlocked, di mo mamomonitor yung temps ng bawat core. Kaya naka aftermarket akong heatsink for peace of mind.

Hi, I'm planning on setting up a mixerless rig, planning to use "PreSonus FireStudio Mobile FireWire Audio Interface". Is this a good piece of equipment? Any idea kung saan makakabili neto? TIA :)

Just make sure the computer you're going to use it with has a firewire port. For ex., most laptops do not have firewire. Even macbooks today eschew firewire for thunderbolt.

Sir, Meron po akong audio interface UCA200.  Pano po nagwo-work yung input at output ng UCA200? Ganito po ba yun:

Input: source of your music
Output: nakakabit sa speakers
USB: connected sa computer

additional questions:
Kung may sasabayan akong track sa pagre-record, maririnig ko din ba sa output yung track or kung ano lang ire-record ko?

Dapat ba may separate speakers na nakakabit sa computer at ibang speakers na nakakabit sa UCA200?

Please help. thanks...

Tama ang pagkakaintindi mo.  No need for speakers for your computer.  Only for the UCA200.

If you're using a DAW, you'll hear the track you're going to record and yung sasabayan mo.

What software are you using?

What do you mean by "capture" bro? About sa software maraming klase ng DAW and plugins. May kanya-kanyang mga pros and cons pero depende pa rin yun sa preference mo. Sa DAW may mga free ngayon tulad ng Reaper(google mo lang). Nandoon na lahat ng BASIC functions na kailangan mo sa recording.
