I've been on here a few times with regards to USB mixers and having done some research I'm still weighing up options. I am looking for a mixer to combine all my sound sources for practising, but would like USB connectivity to then record any ideas to my laptop. I want to be able to hear the...

I do have a computer. Maybe the guitar wasn't a great example. As I mentioned in previous posts I have several sound sources that I want to route into my computer, but also want to be able to just jam on through my monitors when not recording. I don't have anything to bring all these sources...

With audio interfaces like the Tascam US-800 or US-1641, can you plug a guitar in for example and play through the device to your monitors without the interface being hooked up to your computer? Just for jamming purposes?

Mine is about to give up the ghost. Can anyone recommend a decent, and fairly basic USB controller keyboard for around £100. To use with Logic/Reason. I currently have an Edirol PCR-30. I want a decent key range, maybe up to around 61 keys. I also used the control knobs on the PCR-30, but not...

I love hip-hop and I'm trying to sort out a home setup so I can write and record some of my own. I am using Logic. I've seen a lot of videos of chopping samples etc on hardware such as the classic MPC range. What can anyone recommend as a software sampler that follows a similar process to the MPC?

Yeah the guys I record with have a digital/analog mixer with multiple ins and outs. It has built in effects, but like you say, only really used for tracking. For live use reverb would be helpful, but I'm only possibly going to use it in a live application, so effects on the mixer maybe down the...

Hi guys, hoping someone can help. I have an Edirol PCR-30 USB MIDI controller keyboard which I have used for a while. Unfortunately some of the keys have stopped working, and due to the 32 keys it's also become a bit limited for playing. I have a Korg SP200 digital piano/keyboard. 88 keys and...

This is the big stumbling block for me. MacBook will be limited to amount of effects I can use within the software, due to latency issues etc. Truth is, I'm hoping to have a mixer bought for me as a present, and £150 is around my realistic price. Alesis Multimix 8 with FX appealed, as it seemed...

As you say, the effects would come into their own in a live situation. Probably not something I'd use the mixer for, so not something I'd want to pay extra for as a 'just in case' element. With this mixer hooked up to my MacBook, would I be able to hear the software effects from say Logic as I...

Allen & Heath it will probably be then. The Zed-10 without FX is around £160. Buying the FX version will set me back about another £50-60, so what benefits would the FX have and could this be achieved through a separate effects processor?

Is it possible to pan the stereo signal from the mixer to the Mac, hard left and hard right, set up two mono tracks in the software and record instruments that way as well? I'm keen on the Alesis because of the bundled Cubase software, but also the Allen & Heath Zed 10 looks a nice option if I...

I had a look at the US800 and they look great, but not exactly what I'm after for my needs. Basically I'm a guitarist/DJ/keyboard player. In the room at home I use for this I have a couple of keyboards setup, my guitars to hand, mics, turntables. I then have a pair of active monitors. Obviously...

Thinking about it, would it be more cost effective to buy a compact mixer that could then hook up to an audio interface with multiple inputs?

I'm looking at this as some way to lay down ideas track by track.The way I envisage using such a mixer, with the bundled Cubase LE4 would be to record a rhythm track, probably using a VST drum machine, or importing drum loops created elsewhere. Then laying down, for example, a bass line (i.e...

Hi guys, I've seen this for around £120 new and includes Cubase LE4. Quite keen on getting one for connecting up to my Mac for some easy recording/mixing etc. I understand there is a newer version with USB 2.0 but this is an extra £130. Would it be worth getting the older version, or should...

Hi, I'm new to the forum so thought I'd ask some advice. I've been looking to buy some small activwe monitors for home use and had narrowed it down to the ESI near05 experience. One place online has them for £179 but awaiting stock. Sound on Sound really liked these, and I was swayed towards...
