I like music and computers.

comment What instruments are these?
Do you consider samples to be not acoustic? The cello notes and pizzicato bass are almost certainly being generated by physical instruments, recorded into a sampler.

comment Can OS X audio preview loop or be replaced by a different playback system that supports looping?
One of the reasons I suggest QuickTime is because it's a very lightweight app, and audio files will open very quickly if the app is already open.

By "Preview", do you mean QuickLook? The Preview app doesn't read audio files.

I've answered to my level of expertise! Thanks for the Wiki link--feel free to add whatever else you feel is necessary!

comment Why is Pro Tools the industry standard in high end audio production?
This is an A/V Production site. If you want to talk about live music, we'll be glad to have you at Music.SE!

Most definitely!

comment How do I record multiple mics to a computer without a mixer?
@TravisDtfsuCrum Phantom power is not necessary for dynamic microphones, only condensers. Furthermore, a microphone doesn't "have" phantom power, rather, a condenser microphone that requires it must have it provided either by the mic preamp or a suitable inline adapter. The Presonus interface I linked in my answer provides phantom power with the "48V" button on the front.

+1: Wow, I completely forgot about aggregate audio devices. I'll edit my answer to only provide the traditional setup information.

Well in that case, you should definitely try to get low-impedance XLR microphones, like the SM58s that I linked above, and a multichannel interface like the Presonus to act as the mic preamp and audio interface. There really shouldn't be -anything- using 3.5mm in this kind of setup, except maybe for monitor headphoens.

Well, you said you had two USB microphones, but then you mentioned some kind of 3.5mm to USB or XLR to USB somethingorother. Model #'s would be useful to help figure out what you actually have--I'd be wondering if the 3.5mm microphone you have is suitable for recording.

Hm--then you're leaving out important information about your equipment. It's possible that one of those X->USB interfaces is capable of multichannel input.

comment For videocasting, what is the best microphone?
Are you ruling out lapel mics for any reason?

comment Vectorized audio? Does it exist? Its pros and cons? Which formats?
MIDI is fairly standardized; different implementations have certain quirks (like keyboards that think C3 is middle C instead of C4) but it's mostly standard. A MIDI file is essentially the same signals as you would get from a piece of hardware, but put recorded down with a timeline and occasionally meter information.

comment What options do I have for sharing a large audio project with several collaborators over the Internet?
You have completely changed your question from what was originally asked. This question was about deployment when I answered it.

comment Video with person 'writing on glass' effect
@claws Exactly like that. I prefer the flipped actual writing--it's probably easier for the actor as well. Also it reminds me of this.

comment Is there any option for mirror imaging in video editing software?
Comments on that video say the actor is right-handed in other videos, so this one is flipped horizontal.

comment How does Salman Khan make his screencasts?
This is probably in reference to the Khan Academy. Here's a video example.

comment Going about creating a new song in a DAW?
Sounds like you're confusing producing with songwriting. Many producers do that as well, but you should realize it's two different things. Songwriting is a music topic.

@leftaroundabout Aha, thanks! Moment of inertia

comment Are there any non-weighted key MIDI controllers out there with 76 - 88 keys?
Hmm, yeah. That sounds expensive, and is probably going to further limit your choices to 61-key or fewer keyboards.
