Hello again, fellow folks of musical inclinations! Quick recap: I'm primarily a singer-songwriter who writes on keys, guitar (acoustic) and now wishes to - e x p a n d - his (my) musical horizons. Hence, bass playing. More specifically, I wish to delve into the jazzy licks of the Upright bass...

I have a friend who's thinking of purchasing an apparent "vintage" tube console. He wants to use it to warm up the signal which goes into his VS-1680 (as well as increase the no. of inputs). Does anybody know the Chilton brand? It's new to me, and the web is curiously devoid of any info on...

I've got a Tascam 414. I'll be buying a VS-1680 in two to three months, but I need to get a decent demo out by Saturday or I'll lose a huge gig. I want to dump the money I have into components that will optimize the 4-track and still be valid once I get the 1680 with all its cards and integrated...

Hi. I've got a Tascam 414 and no decent mic. I need to record material by tomorrow. Short term is going to be Vox and acoustic guitar only (maybe some percussions). WHAT DO I NEED TO MAKE IT SOUND GOOD? Long term I'll be getting a vs-1680, sampler, and dive into project studio proper, and so I...

More questions, always more questions :) Hi again. I'm stuck with a Tascam 414 until I can afford a soundcard, so I was wondering if I shouldn't invest in something like the Lexicon MPX-100 for vocal effects. It could be included in the digital studio afterwards and I'm thinking it would take...

Hi. Sampling takes a ton of room (memory-wise), right? Midi does not. That's why it's still around, I gather. Question 1- How much impact does that have on latency? Do two sampler tracks tax the CPU as much as, say, ten midi tracks? What are the stats? Also, I'm going to be recording various...

I've got a PII 350mhz (64ram, 6.4 gig) with Soundblaster Live!, a Fostex 4-track (I was desperate to copyright some of my stuff - long story) and about 30 movie soundtracks, 54 folk-pop hits and 14 techno-lounge grooves going strong in my head. I need to get going on this project-studio of mine...

It's kinda comforting, in a sense. Shows that we still have a touch of modesty.

I performed a search on Digidesign... Nada. Do we have a boycott going on (and if so, why?). Ok. ProTools costs more than I make in a year (or five!!) but I just came across something on FullCompass that begs for my attention: Digi-001. They claim it's a "complete PCI computer-based audio and...

Here's my initial setup plans: I own a P2 350Mhz with Soundblaster Live. I also have up to 7000$ coming in to invest in this project. What I'd get (if unswayed by advice): - Cubase VST - Microphone: Shure SM-57 - Keyboard: Probably the Korg Triton Pro (It's a big chunk of the budget, but I...
