    Hardware or software

    I'm not really a newbie, but have been gone from working on music for a while and ready to get back into it. I have a great computer to work on home recording, but it will not be dedicated just to that, so here is my question... At one time I had 2 synths I used. However, with much less room...

    MIDI question

    Sorry I didn't post this in the MIDI section, but it is so slow in there and figured I had a better chance of a response here. I just got a MIDI interface and have not really used MIDI before. Although I am doing reading/research to see how it all works, I do have one quick question... On...

    DSL=Dropouts

    I am only working on 256 ram, I would occasionally get some dropouts while recording. I realized turning my computer sounds off was a good idea, but also, I discovered that turning off my DSL box was also a big help, and now my dropouts are very rare. So, just an FYI to keep those DSL boxes...

    CDs with sounds vs sample CDs

    I have not made use of any sampling devices, so I am wanting to clear something up. I have seen CDs out there that are sampling CDs that have samples for piano, string sounds, brass, etc. I have also seen CDs that contain sounds or background sounds, or ambient sounds that instructions say to...

    Whoa! Why did this happen?

    I am using Cakewalk Home Studio 2002. Within 3 of my songs I have several tracks that I added effects to via a plug-ins I installed or downloaded into my computer. However, one day my computer crashed-bad:( but, I had a back up-good:) However, when I restored all the info back into the...

    Mic for recording ambient/outdoor sounds

    Ok, so I am looking to record nature/outdoor/ambient sounds (running water, cars passing, airplanes passing over me, etc). What kind of mic am I needing for these situations? Any brand suggestions in the mid-price range would be nice. (Also, if anyone can advise me what other basic equipment I...

    Trying to fix a mistake

    I must have accidentally set my settings in my software to record at 48 HZ instead of at 44.1, so naturally the track will not playback properly when recorded to disc. The only method I can think of to get a 44.1 recording of the track is to take the mixdown done at 48 and play it through Media...

    And now I have a hum

    Up until a few weels ago my setup was working just fine. I had a synth, a Delta 44, Event 20/20 bas monitors and a computer. Recently I bought a new synth and some decent cables for my hook ups. But now, I notice that I have an audible hum coming from my monitors that I don't recall having...

    Why would I use MIDI?

    At the moment, I don't use MIDI for any of my recording. I have several synths which I all use regular audio outs into the soundcard. A friend of mine told me I should use MIDI, but I don't see why. I could use MIDI to connect the keyboards to control each other, but I don't yet have a need for...

    Increasing sound by bouncing?

    The situation... I have a few cases where some of my tracks were recorded at low levels and to raise them up to where I need them to be also creates background hum/hiss. However, when I bounce either a single track or an entire set of tracks to another track within the recording, then I...

    A question prompted by the Korg MS2000

    I just got the Korg MS2000, and it is a very nice synth from what I have seen so far. However, all I had before this was a Roland RS-5, which is basically a sampler-performing synth. Now, I have all these parameter knobs and programming options, but with most of them I don't quite understand...

    Yes or no

    Let's say I have a recording completed on the computer. I want to play that recording and send it out from the computer through an effects processor and run the audio from the processor back into the computer for recording at the same time. Yes I can, or no, I can not? (My money is on no).

    Software for 96KHz recording

    Is there any software that can be used to record at this level? My Cakewalk only goes to 48Hz. (And of course, please list the name of the software if there is one available). Thanks, Micro

    Pros & Cons of Full or Rack versions

    Ok all, the rack version of a synth is cheaper...obviously because there is less to it physically. But, I want to hear from everyone's experience the pros and cons of having a rack version over the full synth w/keys. In my opinion, if I am tweaking with the knobs and such, it's going to be...

    Getting a 2nd synth

    This seems like it should be a pretty simple question. I am getting a 2nd synth, which means I will have an RS 5 and a Korg MS2000. Will I be able to connect the RS 5 to the MS2000 via MIDI cable so that when I play a note on the RS 5 that audio will come from both the RS 5 and the MS2000 at...

    Connecting sound modules

    I am looking to expand with several sound modules. Here is my question. I am wanting to purchase 3 different modules, which will be my first venture into the MIDI world. Simply, these 3 modules have MIDI ins and L and R audio outs. My Delta soundcard only has 2 pairs of stereo inputs. SO, is...

    What's eating my RAM?

    Moved from 16 bit recording to 24 bit multi-track recording, and now I am having trouble getting more than 6-7 tracks at a time. I only have 128 RAM (and yes, I know I need more anyhow), but is it the low RAM that is causing me this particular trouble? My full specs... 60G Hard drive 1.5G...
