double sheesh I say "home recording" cause there is a difference between wanting to know HOW to do something versus wanting a freakin' Yellow Pages listing for someone to do it for me. I mean, no shit, of course I could pay someone to master my stuff. Duh. Does anyone need to be on a...

possibly true This may be so. I have suspected that I may have too many things of similar frequencies, which may render them somewhat indistinguishable with one another. I complicate matters by generally not working with any normal instruments, so I often have odd sounds to begin with. Usually...

correction Well, the 880 does have a mixing area, with the normal faders, etc... I was just trying to say that I'm not going to be able to sit down at some huge Mackie behemoth. I have quite good control over what can happen to the sound in mixing, I am just wanting to know more about how to go...

sheesh PEOPLE-- THIS IS HOME RECORDING. Get that? HOME RECORDING. I'm repeating this so you get the idea that some of us try to do these things AT HOME, without the benefit of sending my music elsewhere. I could record in a studio elsewhere, or hire other people to make my music for me, or...

mastering How does one go about mastering? I am very interested in this, and I am curious how it is acheived. DaveX

another idea Hey, you could always just tell her that she'll be happy with it, or she can be replaced by the demo on your little nephew's Casio keyboard, and and overdub of you enthusiastically hitting an oatmeal box with a stick... and play with a click track! But seriously, if she is used...

I just released my second album (self-release) and I had some trouble with levels. I work with a Roland VS-880EX, and I record a wide variety of instruments, environmental sounds, etc. When I record, I always try to set my gain as high as possible, without digital distortion being present. But I...

I use a VS-880EX, and I would like to use it "in the field", so to speak. More or less, I want to take it out for short distances, and record some things that are outside, but not near to a power source. I have limited monetary resources, but I have seen "power inverters" at my local...

Radio Show Info First, let me say that my whole station does not focus on experimental music, nor do they generally deal with music from the Internet. I play experimental music, because I have been fighting a losing battle to expand the range of interesting things that our station plays...

Do you actually READ these posts? C'mon people... I know experimental music isn't everyone piece of the pie, but don't bother sending me off to go see your blues songs, tributes to Bob Seger, or techno music... Here are some of the things people have sent me to, in their own words: "My music...

I have three compositions at http://www.angelfire.com/il/davexpooh/moosik.html which I have already self-released. In retrospect, though, I was a little unhappy with a few tracks on the album, mostly in terms of my levels and EQ. Some things "hid" other interesting sounds, and overall, I felt...

I use a VS-880EX, and I would like to use it "in the field", so to speak. More or less, I want to take it out for short distances, and record some things that are outside, but not near to a power source. I have limited monetary resources, but I have seen "power inverters" at my local Wal-Mart...

I have a radio show at my University. I play experimental, improvisation, and difficult music. I use a lot of material from the Internet, because many of the bands, artists, and labels that I want to play are often not large enough to send promotional material to our radio station (which...

I am curious if there is a site that features effects that Roland VS series users have custom designed. I use the VS-880EX, and I like to try to design new effects by tweaking theirs, but I have a feeling that there are a number of people who have done a better job of this than I. If there is no...

First off, let me say that it has been awhile since I have been an active member of Home Recording... I sort of got burned out last year, around about the time people were discussing a compilation cd. Now a list serv that I am on is discussing a similar project, and it got me thinking about this...

not quite the same thing... I am aware that I could send all the data in that way. The 880 allows users to save data on a CDR disc as data, meaning archived for later use, like stuff on a floppy... I was thinking to save as data onto a hard drive, but I don't even know if this is possible. An...

I have seen people on this site mention an "application" manual that someone other than Roland wrote for the VS-880... Where can I get my hands on one of these? Also, has there ever been anything made for the 880 in the way of a workbook? That's not a good word for it... um... like something...

I own a VS-880, and I am curious if I can send my data to be saved (or archived, they call it) to a spot on my computer's hard drive instead of making a CD copy of it... I realize that my hard drive will fill up quick this way, but I just want to save one thing at a time, really... DaveX

effects on synths, drums, etc... Julia-- As for the effects that I use on my Casio.. you need to remember that I work in experimental music. (Sort of my disclaimer) Because of this, results that I am able to achieve which sound good to me, are usually everyone else's noise. I use a variety...
