Formatt
I have the FD-4 also but never used the zip drive. I use an ORB 2.2 gig drive. If I remember right you gota formatt the drive. As far as the menu I think you have to have the drive on before you turn the FD-4 on I know I have to or it wont see the drive. As far as the manule goes it...
Good
That's a realy good price. I got mine two years ago and everything works. When my band plays out I use it to mix my drumer then run the mix through a compresser. Keeps the drums under good control. My drumber loves it. Later, Donny!!!
Mixers
I have a Peavey 500 mixer that has tape in, maybe to small for what you need. It has 6 xlr, 4 stereo in's, 6 hi impidence in's and one tape in. Cost $300.00 new. I like it alot, very clean sound. Later, Donny!!!
Cakewalk
I use the record button on the track I want too record to. Ya gota have both hands going at the same time but it works for me. I make demo's all the time this way. All I know is if it works don't mess with it. Later, Donny!!!
I agree with Tom you roll your finger that might work. I have the same thing happen in different joints I play in. It is always the A note. Later, Donny!!!
Just go to the music store, put the amount of money you want to spend on the counter and the salesperson will put the right bass in your hands. I've been playing bass for 30 years. Take it home and set the action were it fells good for you and let it rip. Later, Donny!!!
FD-4
I use the FD-4 all the time to record live and then I down load it to Cakewalk through the stereo out with a 1/8" adapter. You can only down load two tracks at a time. Do your mixing on the FD-4, or you can use it as a mixer and record stright to your computer. I use an ORB disk drive...
Intel
Ya frank-1, I'm finding that the Intel CPUs seem to work better for the kind of work we do. I've never used a III but have two Celerons and I don't have any trouble with them. Later, Donny!!!
AMD K6
My AMD K6 400 mgz CPU works fine for audio but sucks for veido. Just get the fastest CPU you can and lots of RAM helps a grate deal I have 256 megs of RAM. Later, Donny!!!
Catholics
Hay Les, I though MrQ and I had that all sorted out and it's me. Understand the mistake though. The Catholics did a number on me as well. I don't hate them just don't want nothing to do with them. Did like the idea of confession could raise hell all week then confess and...
