After their initial run, can the freeware Friday VSTs be moved in here (that is, unless they're "limited time only" or something like that)?

The only one I've found is the Greg Sullivan sample pack, but that's formatted for Tascam Gigastudio. I've tried the JSampler workaround, but that just clogged up my CPU. Is there anyone with a freebie that's ready to go in VST?

Not many people know what production music is, but they've heard it thousands of times... a perfect example is the song "Heavy Action" by the British composer Johnny Pearson. It's famous in the US as the background music for Monday Night Football. edit: Also, John Tesh made this song up for the...

Are there such things? Either processors or instruments, I'm just looking to see if they exist. Maybe it's like Area 51 or the Loch Ness monster.

I've got the files in one big zip folder. I tried to install once, but it tried to load stuff on to my D: drive, which my computer uses for restore points and recovery. No dice there. Yes, it's a little old, but it's the best piano VST I've heard so far. Not to mention, I got it for free...

"home (w-)rec(kin)'g" lol... Anywhose, I'm doing a home studio project... like everybody else in this forum, DUHH! Virtual sidemen and sessionistas are the way to go for me, since I'm without wheels right now. Like about 90% of American musicians, I'm as broke as a joke. Can't afford to pay...

How can I possibly transfer this to digital for archival purposes, or should I blow "taps" over the boxes, pile them in the fire pit and light a match? First of all, Fostex quarter-inch 8 track. Not the smartest idea, but it was my buddy's tape deck. Second, the Fostex A-series was encoded in...

It's an '07 Juno-G, a decent multi-timbral unit with the Fantom-X sound engine. Went for $1000 US (list) brand new. These were notorious for their LCD display issues, and that's what happened to mine. Can't navigate the screen, because I can't see anything. Can't afford to chase down parts for...

Yes, I've got one... the dreaded dead LED. Does anyone know how to get a live display of what the screen should be showing, through the USB into a PC (Vista 32-bit)? I've got the Roland sound editor installed on my laptop, but I'm not certain how or if there's a way to get the live feed to...

Get a 'brother' to play for you. :D (j/k... no offense meant.) This is me.

I've got a Roland Juno-G that I use at home for keyboard and drum sounds. I'm in the midst of recording tracks. After a few years use with no problems, all of a sudden, today, the LCD display went nuts. Looked like half a checkerboard (top right/bottom left) with pixellated mush all over the...

How to chase this down, hmmm... I have some decent skills on electric, but I've never had a standup bass in my life. Would a fretless acoustic with a pickup system suit me here? Any examples or clips would be helpful.

Well, I was looking for a decent freeware plugin to do some demos, and I thought I'd try SampleTank FREE. (Their caps, not mine.) Anyway, I figured I'd try it for a bit, and if it was worth the money I'd buy the full version. No luck. First, it kept telling me the Install Verification was...

Is this a fool's errand, or is Audacity (v 1.2.6 and later) a good enough program for cleaning up tracks, EQ'ing, limiting, leveling, etc. before sending to a pro mastering house? Yes, it works in 48K/24-bit. Yes, it works with lossless formats (.wav, .lame, etc.). Perhaps most importantly, I...

I'm thinking of importing tracks from my R24, mixing and editing in Reaper, and also using Reaper for MIDI. I'm fairly certain I can import tracks to Reaper using the SD card, but do the files need to be re-named? Has anyone had any issues with using the R24 as a Reaper control surface? (HP...
