  1. Im a fan of 10s on everything I play. 9s feel too thin for me. +1
  2. I downloaded it off Limewire. Not the best idea to admit stuff like that on recording forums
  3. First of all, as you're new to recording I think you should take the word 'Master' out of your vocabulary, that is if you are planning doing everything the DIY route. Mastering requires a number of things including:- -A trained ear, this comes with years of experience of recording/mixing -A really good monitoring setup -The ability to master in a different room And much more besides. I like to consider what I do to my songs 'polishing'. I'm not experienced enough or skilled enough(nor do I have the things I mentioned earlier) to say I master my songs. However, this polishing process consists of exporting my finished mix(which has to be EXACTLY the way I want it) and putting it through a compresser, limiter and maybe also EQing it. All of this will add some gloss to the song. I'm not saying DIY mastering can't be done, a number of people do it but for somebody new to recording(as you are) - it's gonna be a lot further down the road. There are lots of stuff you can read, and lots of knowledgeable folks here who can tell you much more than I can about mastering
  4. Generally it shouldn't matter although I had a bad experience with this computers pre-installed ATI Radeon 9800SE. When I was using Cubase it would always crash and restart the machine at precisely 100 bars. I tried a bunch of stuff to try and diagnose the problem, but eventually I replaced the card with a Nvidia 6600GT and everything was fine. So I guess my point is, it CAN happen that a graphics card can cause problems, but it's pretty unlikely.
