Hi,Sking14 :D I haven't got an answer for you as I'm new to the dp-02 (new to recording in general really) as well. This is something I've wondered about how it works myself however, because I've thought about getting some drum software or a drum machine of sorts for some solo stuff away from...

thanks a bunch I'll look into it :D

Ok... this is probably the epitome of newbie questions and perhaps it should go in the newbie thread, but it made more sense to me to put it here. Exactly (other than recording software) is Reaper, and how does it work? What kind of hardware would I need to purchase if I were to use Reaper and...

thanks :) I'll look into it.

I would like to be able to take that option but I don't have the software for it.

lol! Thanks, Dino. there's actually an air conditioner right behind the drums but we turn it off when recording.

Kingofpain678 Thank you... come to think of it, I remember raising my pickup a while back (experimenting) and I don't believe I ever lowered it again (uh... oops). While I've been recording straight through my effects processor rather than a miked amp I can still use alot of your advice, and I...

ya never know.... could be the next big hit. Remember "Barbie Girl" *shudders* now that rotten song is going to be playing in my head for days. I hated it, but it was huge.

only reason is... i haven't tried it yet :D I was listening to a song I recorded and noticed it, and was just curious if anyone else has encountered similar problems. Mainly, I'm recording hard rock rhythms. I've been recording through my effects processor rather than miking an amp and I use a...

When I play I almost always use my bridge pickup for rhythm and soloing and it sounds fine... however, when I record rhythm playing, it seems like my notes are blending together and I'm not getting that "choppy" sound I'm hearing when I'm playing. Would switching to both bridge and neck pickup...

I'm willing to bet the presets can probably be reset. If you don't have an instruction book for it, you can probably find it online in PDF format. Just type in Yamaha DX7 instruction book in your search engine and see what comes up :)

Thanks again. That's what I was thinking really. It seems to me that recording the drums in sections would take away the fluidity of the drums and end up sounding unatural. I might try anyway... just to give me some practice in editing. For actual recording however, I think I'm going to take...

Thanks JJones... is it better to just record the whole drum section of a song at once then? Instead of in portions?

ah...unfortunately I don't have a mac. Thanks though :)

guess I'll have to shell out some cash for one of those... thanks :)

Does anyone know of any free online or downloadable drum and bass machines?

hmmm I'm hoping for options without relocating really... being a guy, I just can't see myself dancing on a bar to support myself until I sell my music (had to throw the Coyote Ugly reference in there) I mainly play hard rock and metal, and can play the instruments myself if need be other than...

I'm pretty straight forward I guess in the song writing process. Although I usually write the lyrics first and later write the music to fit the lyrics, and sometimes I write the music first and add the lyrics later (I find it easier to put music to lyrics however), both approaches are usually...

How do you go about doing this? Who do you contact and how? Just wondering in case I can't get my band to get off their butts, I would like to see my music played by someone else if not me.

...ok well, new to recording in general to be honest. Anyway my drummer doesn't want to record his drums on a song all the way through, nonstop from beginning to end of the song (can't blame him I guess... gets hot in the jamroom). How can I record a portion of his drums onto a track and then...
