Hey all, So I just got a message from a Mastering Engineer on MySpace. I'm not necessarily looking for a ME right now, but I figured it would be interesting to see where you all weigh in on the quality of the guy's work. http://www.masterworksound.com/ To me, all of the tracks sound like...

I'm working on a theatre production that requires a master MIDI keyboard to control a Yamaha TX7 module. The music director rented a Roland RD-700SX to use as a controller, and it is my job to program the board. After reading about the board and it's "great for use as a Master Controller"...

Hi all, Looking for some opinions on devices to switch patches. I'm working on a theatre production where we need to hook up a Yamaha P60 to a keyboard module--the main issue is that the P60 cannot change the patches. I found a device called the MIDI Mouse (...

Hey all, So basically I was wondering if there have been any software advances in track syncing that I'm not aware of--here's the scenario: Recorded a show with a line from the sound board onto my 2-track HI-MiniDisc recorder. Also have the show as recorded with two mics from the back of...

Does anyone know of a smallish red synthesizer whose manufacturer begins with the letter E? This board was being described to me yesterday... I thought it was a Nord, but was told it definitely wasn't... Thought I'd run it over here, see if anyone else had a clue.

Hi all, Situation is this: Song where I'm playing a lead-type synthesizer patch. For that kind of thing, is it more typical to DI out of the keyboard, or mic an amp? (This would require lugging of my huge amp down the stairs. :P) Opinions welcomed. Thanks, Alex

Hello all, In May, I will be traveling to Italy with my college chamber singers for a tour. As well as singing in the group, I've been given the job of recording the concerts. I have a portable setup that consists of my laptop, mixer, mics, and stands, but I'm not sure it's portable enough to...

Hello, I just got a Kurzweil PC2R MIDI module, and it has coax SPDIF out, and so I can finally use my Delta's coax SPDIF in. Question is, might I have a cable for this already? I know it's supposed to be 75 ohm RCA, but I don't know if any of my RCA cables ARE 75 ohm. Would it be okay to just...

(This is not a complete mix, but I figure more people may see it here and be able to help) Had a short but educational session yesterday recording the drums for our new EP. There's a lot of stuff to be worried about here. I don't think our drummer was playing his best, but I'm mainly concerned...

Had a short but educational session yesterday recording the drums for our new EP. There's a lot of stuff to be worried about here. I don't think our drummer was playing his best, but I'm mainly concerned with my mic placement. I'm not liking some of the sounds I'm getting, and I could use some...

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out the best method of setting up my new headphone amp to tie it in with my existing setup. Right now, I'm using the first two outputs of my Delta 1010LT, from the monitor mixer, and run this to my monitors. I use Logic to record with, and I just realized...

Hi all, I recently got a keyboard amp, and I'm unsure how it's going to sound on stage (I will find out!). I'm thinking that I might want something closer to my ear though. The amp has several outputs, including an addition amplified output. Can anyone suggest a smallish speaker I can use if...

This was so freaky I had to post it! http://www.jvc.com/Presentations/WoodConeSpeakers/

I just bought a used Crate KBA-150 keyboard amp. It's very old looking but sounds pretty good. I have one major problem so far. It has an XLR output. I connected it to my mixer and I get a hum. Adjusting the volume, eq, basically any controls on either the amp or the mixer and I can't make...

'Lo all. I've been trying very hard to think of a method that will work in this scenario. We are recording drums in a small room with a baby grand piano, windows, wall and ceiling treatments, and a door. The idea was to setup my DAW and mixer in the adjacent room, which is smaller, has an...
