    Sequencing Software - advice!?

    Mad - I actually mean audio and MIDI, so if Vegas can't play MIDI, then that's definitely a strike - thanks! Todd - my own impression/experience is that 98se is good until there is a lot on your system. I have rebuilt on w2000pro and it is more stable in every single way. I won't be going to xp...

    Sequencing Software - advice!?

    In a bid to solve this myself, I have been considering the following packages: Vegas Sonar 3 Producer Reason MOTU and am now leaning towards S3 prod. Does anybody have an opinion? What else should I be looking at? My price range probably caps out at about $700, but I can get S3 prod for...

    Sequencing Software - advice!?

    Hi all I need a software sequencer, and have been using Cubase, but the new version is too powerful for my PC. I'm not looking to change my PC yet, and so want to change the software. (It used to crash a lot, anyway...!) I have been looking at Vegas, but am not sure whether it can be used...

    Fruity Loops MIDI

    I'm not sure what standard of idiot you are used to dealing with, but reading the manual / checking help files is something that a reasonable person would do as a matter of course. As a reasonable person, this is obviously what I did, and I couldn't solve the problem. My next step was to ask...

    Fruity Loops MIDI

    Thanks, elevate. When I ask for help in future, I'll remember where not to come. (What was it Dustin Hoffman said about Hugh Grant...?) Tom

    Fruity Loops MIDI

    All hooked up correctly (I know because I can control it with every other MIDI program I own. Even with cr@ppy scripts I wrote myself!) Its something to do with Fruity Loops sends. There is no MIDI signal arriving at my module - except the "song start" signal. Its soooooooooooooooo...

    Fruity Loops MIDI

    Hi All Having just wasted another evening on this extraordinarily user-unfriendly program, can anyone give me any clue whatsoever as to how to actually make Fruity Loops actually send MIDI data to an external instrument in real time? Like it says it does? I can export a MIDI file, but thats...

    Controlling Proteus 2500 from PC

    Hi all I cannot find this in the manual (shock) and wondered if anyone here had already worked it out. I need to link up my keyboard, soundcard and Proteus such that the MIDI in from the keyboard is recorded in the PC as pure MIDI data, but then that data is sent to the Proteus to control the...

    New gear - opinions please!

    Primarily I write for video games & films - but the tapestries range from vast orchestral works to 80's disco (for example). I don't do 'soul'.

    New gear - opinions please!

    Hi Rolando - the WaveTerminal 192x is my new sound card (I keep the SB Live because its 'easy' and since I program games too, its a more typical card to work with. Subtractor - I paid WAAAAAY too much. I haggled for the entire bundle, so its hard to identify an individual price, but I guess the...

    New Piano

    Just wanted to say, I finally scraped £4.5k together and bought a new Rönisch upright. I know a lot of people don't like them, but it has the richest & roundest tone I've ever heard in an upright, and to touch, well, it feels as good as my wife on our wedding night. I've never been so happy. Tom

    a weighty matter

    (just some thoughts) I'm getting a weighted keyboard AND a synth. My reasoning: 1) I am a pianist, so there are times when only a piano feel will work for me. 2) Timing is not an issue on either keyboard. It takes about 10 seconds of playing, and your brain automatically adjusts to the new...

    buying a real piano...

    (Goes hmm.....) I really like Yamaha U1s for their brightness! There's a percussive sound which goes along with the note which makes certain music types really come alive. (Play some Bartok on one, for eg.) So - I'm interested to hear that yours has a rounder sound. Probably newer felts on the...

    buying a real piano...

    Roel One of the (great many) things which subconsciously attracts people to keyboards rather than pianos is the "crapness shame" factor. A keyboard can be turned down or switched to headphones. This means that nobody hears you when you are a 35 year old punk having to play "Mary had a Little...
