If you had to suggest the rock / pop songs that every keyboardist who plays in a band should know, what would they be? Could be because they are popular songs, or because they have famous keyboard parts or whatever... Just curious what the basics are. Thanks, - Gunther

My little home studio… just thought I'd share and see if anyone has anything to say about it :) Gear -- Software: Sonar 3 Sound card: M-Audio Delta1010 Reverb: Lexicon MPX110 ‘Monitors’: B&W DM601 S3 Microphone Chain Rode NT1000 M Audio DMP3 Keyboards / Modules Korg N1 (Bottom, used as...

So I’m having a little gear dilemma. This is what I really want... 1) A 76 key un-weighted keyboard that I can easily take to a gig, practice or whatever. Also, I'd like to be able to set it up fast (prefer no modules/racks). 2) A studio with all the sounds I could possibly want and an 88key...

I told myself I'd never do it, that I'd never go out and buy anything behringer again. But I am weak. I picked up a behringer KX1200 keyboard amp. I have to admit, after 45 mins of comparing, IMO it sounded about as good and as powerful as the roland amp sitting next to it, and only cost half...

Heres my setup... Korg N1 (used as a controler in this setting) to the midi in of my delta 1010. Midi out of delta 1010 to midi in of my Motif rack. Problem is when I play my N1, I'd like to be able to make the delta 1010 send the midi info directly to the Motif... without having to run...

Should I go for Sonar 3? Ok, I am a Keyboardist / vocalist working with a 6 year old version of Cakewalk. I’ve been doing major upgrades to my rig and software is next on my hit list (And well overdue). Being a cakewalk user, I figured I would stay with what I know, unless anyone can talk me...

A few months ago my PC sounded like a propeller plane about to take off, so I threw a hundred bucks into a heat sink and a few panotec fans. BIG improvement. So like most people who kill the fan noise, I discovered my hard drive is really, really loud. The room is fairly quiet, the hard drive...

I'm about to buy one, but before I do I thought it would be a good idea to check here to make sure there isn't a product out there that does more for less. - Gunther

Portable recording… I’m looking for a portable recorder setup to record voice with somewhat high fidelity. It will mostly be used to record my voice lessons and practices, so something portable and something I can stop and replay what I just recorded quickly if I want to. Originally I was...

My current setup is like this… Behringer 802a mixer to SoundBlaster extigy (usb) to Cakewalk pro audio 7.0. I am not really happy with this and want to upgrade. So I am thinking of getting a delta44 and cakewalk sonar 2.2 (which I would get at a discount since I own pro audio.) With this I...

I am looking into using a pair of B&W DM601 S3 as both monitors for my small project studio and as speakers just to listen to music on. I know they will do excellent for just listening to tunes, but will they function well as monitors also? I would bet they are cheaper than monitors of equal...

Ok, I have a Korg N1 and a Roland jv1010 and am running cakewalk professional 7.02 (outdated, I know). What I would like to do is be able to use them both at the same time so that say channels 1 – 10 go to the Roland and channels 11 – 16 go to the Korg. Right now all I get is both keyboards...

Ok, I have been reading that every d/a and a/d conversion costs pretty big in sound quality… so in planning my soon to be purchased setup I am wondering if my thinking is flawed since it involves 4! conversions. First from mic or keyboard to .wav file in cakewalk… then from digital to analog...

to clean a switch that was requireing me to press hard to get it to work (it was left in a dusty room for too long) Man, they build a good keyboard. Soldering is excelent, wires are neatly bundled and firmly attached. Plenty of shielding and plenty of spring clips used to make sure there is...

Hey guys, I am using a Behringer 802a mixer right now. I will upgrade soon, when I buy a new sound card (in like a year.) but it suits all my mixing needs for the moment, it does the job. The thing is, I have a pretty nice mic signal chain which I invested a lot of money in (a lot by my...

Hey all, I am looking into powered monitors, my price range is in the 400 –500 buck area… so the Yorkville YSM1p and M-Audio SP-BX8 seem to be what a lot of people are talking about in my budget. The problem is I don’t think there is a dealer near me that sells Yorkville, so can anyone who...

Ethan convinced me I need the stuff, now where do I get it and how much am I going to pay? I am in central Long Island... Thx

Hi all, The room is a 10’ X 12’ basement room with 7’4” ceiling height. Small, I know. It had a nasty early echo and ring which I was able to fix with some Auralex. What I did was put four 2’ X 4’ Auralex panels on the back 10’ wall, which is behind me when I am sitting at the workstation. The...

I just spent $220 on f**king foam… Ok, I am nuts, right? Normal people just don’t do things like this, right? I mean I walked out the door of guitar center with a $220 box of Auralex foam, they are laughing as I walk out, right? Anyway my room sounds dead as Kurt Cobain, its nuts. And my...
