Had any experience with it? What do you think of it? I am looking at an analog modeling synth that won't break the bank. Specifically I need a rack mount synth b/c of space issues, I don't need or want another keyboard. I tried the Korg Ms2000r, The Nord Lead (way out of my price range), the...

Does anyone know whether any of the tone generator modules that Yamaha puts out has the same (or similar) sound palette as the Motif or S-80? All I am looking for is the sound palette, I don't need the other bells and whistles... Thanks Albert

Here are some terms I encounter often but don't have a firm understanding of: Comb Filter effect Transients Early reflections (Reverb) Standing waves Phase shifting... HELP~!!!!!! There are many more... Is there a audio dictionary where I can look these terms up? TIA Albert

The title of the post says it all. I have not been very successful in getting a nice, round, tight bass sound out of my mixes. Most sound either washed out, hard to define, or muddy. I was able to get rid of the muddiness through EQ, but the round tightness (for lack of a better description) I...

Hey keyboard players/home recorders What do you use to get those great grooves and fat drum sounds in your recordings or live? Do you use sample based loops, Midi tracks, live drums, groove boxes, or what? If so, how do you use them? I started out with Midi Tracks triggering a Roland XP-50...

This may have been covered elsewhere, but could not find it: Here's the question. I need some monitor headphones that are as transparent as possible. Mostly need to have accurate low end. From the research I have done, I have narrowed things down to three models in my price range: 1. Sony...

What kinds of instruments do you record in Stereo and what do you record in Mono? How does recording in stereo affect your ability to pan the track? Why record anything in stereo? I could use your input!! If this is too newbie of a question, or if it's too complicated to deal with, and there...

I am interested in buying software that would allow me to master two-track songs for purposes of applying fninshing touches, levels, etc. . . in preparation for buring a CD. I currently use a mac set up so I am looking at Bias Peak and T-Racks among others. I also have a PC that I could use for...

Does anyone here use any of the Synth Groove boxes out on the market for anything other than Dance music? I have never bothered to check them out for their synth sounds and sequencing capabilitites. I was wondering what any of you use these boxes for, and how good they are. (I am now looking...

:( I am struggling a little bit with the stereo imaging I am able (or rather unable) to accomplish with my home set up. I have difficulty when panning individual instruments, in distinguishing the location of the instrument. Although I obviously know which way I am panning, it seems to me I...

Hello all Here is the problem. I mix my thirty track song in my little home studio to the levels I like, and then I go to listen to it in the car, and WOW >:) WAY TOO MUCH BASS. I had to go back to my rig and shave off 7db's off my bass track to make it sound ok in the car . . . The problem...

Help!! Which one goes first on the Master fader? The Compressor then the limiter, or Vice Versa? I am simply trying to make sure nothing in my song starts clipping while trying to get a decent gain on my overall mix. I am also trying to make my mix somewhat uniform, while allowing it to...

Here's one that I am sure has been debated ad infinitum! But I'll ask anyway! Is there a way/secret to making stark digital recordings get that warmth that analog tape naturally provides? I have read many articles about how that's just the way it is with DAW's. Tough noogies kind of...

I am contemplating purchasing a CDRW. I have a Mac Dual Processor 500, and am looking at either an internal SCSI CDRW or a Firewire CDRW. Has anyone had experience with Firewire (Which is what I am now leaning toward)? Any pitfalls or things to look out for? Thanks in advance for your input...

Has anyone purchased any gear at Zzounds? If so, what kind of experience did you all have? I am about to plunk down some dough and found some great prices but need to know what kind of BS I may have to deal with. I have never ordered anything on the web yet. Thanks AlinMV

I've heard that speaker cables should be the same length from the Amplifier. I have PS8 active monitors, and because of my home studio's configuration, I have my mixer to one side, and as a result, one of my monitors has to be connected by a longer cable from my mixer's outs than the other. Is...

Has anyone laid their hands on this machine? If so, any feedback? AlinMV

I have been doing some research for a computer DAW set up for a Mac, and in my price range I am currently between the MOTU 2408 and Digi 001. I read someplace that computer DAW's such as the Digi 001 do not offer virtual tracks. Is that true? Is there a way around that? Thanks Al

Has anyone compared these two setups? I've done a lot of research on these two and it's now down to which one delivers the best sound quality. I really can't A/B them in my local music stores because I'd be running different tracks through different monitors, etc. Any ideas? Thanks for the...

I literally stumbled over this internet site which provides integrated PC based DAW's. The claims on the site are too good to be true. Has anyone ever heard of them? I have corresponded by e-mail to them so far and they have been extremely responsive --same day or next day responses. They're...
