Hiya Just wondering where the best place to situate monitors is ? Directly in front? Behind ? Left / Right ? Shut it you fool it doesn't matter as long as you can hear it ? Where do you guys put yours (monitors that is ...) ?

OK ,here's what I'm thinking. Get some sort of (hopefully free/cheap) program that will record the MIDI data from my TD-8. Use that data to trigger some samples like Drumkit From Hell or something, and then import that as a stereo wave file into my Tascam 788. Is this all there is to it? Or...
