My Event 20/20 BAS monitors have developed a buzz...I thought reference monitors were supposed to not wear so easily (they are only 4 years old and haven't been abused other than their test drive :D ). It only seems to happen as I run my keyboard through them though, so I imagine it's a level...

Now it's time for me to go out and buy all the things I need to go with my new keyboard. I've got all the technical stuff covered from the manuals, but they don't mention anything about keeping it clean. Not playing it IS NOT and option ;) , so... anybody have a good idea of a cleaner that is...

I finally broke down and ordered my Motif ES8. I'll be spending my vacation with it and let you all know what I think (that is, if I survive the old lady's rants about buying it...) :) . Should be here by Friday.

Alright... I'm going to be getting the Yamaha Motif ES or the Roland Fantom... What Do I do with the old stuff? Send it to the Smithsonian? I hate to throw it away because it's been so serviceable. I don't think anyone would want it. Heck... they don't even make 3.5" floppies standard on...

Hey. Just a question about modules and how they're controlled... Is it possible to control a module with more than one keyboard? For example, if a module had more than one midi in, could it be controlled by two keyboards (resulting in a kind of organ keyboard effect where both keyboards would...

Alright... I'm asking this of people out there who are gigging on a regular basis. Is anybody doing this for a living with just a keyboard? Or perhaps with a gutiar player and drummer and another vocalist? I guess I'm just wondering if anybody goes out, uses all the sampling stuff, and has...

Hi. I'm following up an earlier question more specifically. I have a Korg digital piano DP2000C that is weighted and old. I love its feel, but want to have it control a module like the Korg Triton or Roland Fantom-XR. Will it give me all the things I want? I want to have the keyboard play one...

Hey. I've had a Korg Digital Piano 2000 forever, and it is midi capable. My question is the following: I want to get something like the Triton Extreme, but want the weighted keyboard. Is there a cheaper alternative that I can run through the Korg Digital and will give me great sounds, layering...

Anybody out there use My Music Inc.? It's a music and movie download website I can use for free after paying a lifetime membership. Is there a better (cheaper) way to get DECENT mp3 files? This just seems very convenient, having all the files at one site, and they are giving away free software...

Are they necessary? I have a Fender Jazz Bass that is fretless with flat-wound strings. It gives me the mellow sound I'm looking for. However, every once in a while I get the urge to slap the bass. Doesn't work with the fretless. Will an effects box honestly give me that sound or do I need to...

Hey everyone. I'm wondering if there is a program or machine out there that can take the background noise out of live tracks. For example: we recorded a concert live and have audience members talking on our tracks. My sound guy also got a little too hot on the PA and we had feedback in the...

PA Speakers EV SX500 or Yamaha S112 I have the option of buying either a pair of EV SX500's new (even though they've been in a warehouse for a while) for $199 each, or a pair of Yamaha's S112's for $279 each. Any advice?

I have a twofold question: I'm looking to buy a PA system for around $2,000. It needs to have enough power to fill an auditorium that seats 300 people and sounds like a barn. Should I go with passive or active monitors? Should I include a mixing board and power amp? I will also be doing live...

I asked this question in the Fostex forum, but then decided I might get a broader viewing/answer. I recorded a practice CD with a Korg going directly to line 1 of the VF160, and an AT mic going into line 7 and then line 8 for vocals and backup. I then downloaded all the recordings via optical...

Hey. I'm new to the forum. I purchased a VF160 in September and have enjoyed its versatility and ease of use so far. However, I have what I hope is a minor and easily fixed problem. I recorded a practice CD with a Korg going directly to line 1 of the VF160, and an AT mic going into line 7 and...

Is it possible to start a new forum on repair? I have a few pieces of equipment I'd like to try my hand at before scrapping them or sending them out.

Hi. I'm looking to buy a portable digital recording studio for my classroom at school. I need to have the ability to record up to four tracks at a time, but have the capability to record 12 tracks all together. I also need to download the final tracks into ProTools LE for editing. I prefer to do...

Next weekend, I am starting a recording project. I have all the equipment I need, but I'd like some advice on the way to mix and master. This is mostly vocals for a puppet show. Here goes: I will have a total of 8 tracks. 7 will be independent character voices. 1 will be a soundtrack. Only...

I've been looking around at software for two things. I need to Master to my cd burner, and I need notation ability, preferably with the option to record and print. Is there such a beast that combines the two? Maybe like a complete computer recording system, from keyboard to paper to cd? Most of...

I thought it might be a catchy title. I'm not looking to hear a comparison of cans, I've already read those threads. What I need to know is: Do I really need to buy an exspensive pair of studio headphones for my singers to use that will stop bleed? Obviously the "open" cans aren't going to help...
