    smallest decent midi keyboard

    I have two questions 1) what is the smallest midi keyboard controller with full size keys available. I would like to have a very small (two octaves or so) keyboard to connect to my alesis micropiano. This would be nice to take to jams at other peoples houses (the best kind of jams). 2) Are...

    D160 backup

    I was wondering what the scsi connection on my d160 does. Can I hook an external scsi cdr directly to the d160? Otherwise, what is this connection used for? Thanks

    Shure 545SD

    Come on, am I the only guy on the planet to use these mics. Look like a 57 but are shiny silver. I have picked up a stack of these over the years for dirt cheap and use them for drum mics. Sound good to me. I tested them against a 57 and can't tell a great difference. I have always been...

    What to do with dry guitar track?

    I wanted to give my new Fostex d160 a good workout, so I recorded sixteen drum tracks at a remote location for a local band in two days. We tracked the drums on six mics while using the remaining two tracks for dry mono bass and dry mono electric guitar. Recording chain was guitar/bass -...

    Overdubbing on D-160v2

    Got my d160 recently. Layed down eight drum tracks the first day out. However, I seem to be having trouble dubbing the rest of the tracks. I have drums on tracks 1-8. I then make track 9 "record ready" and and start recording a guitar, but instead of the guitar, it seems to be putting what's...

    Hard drive with D-160

    Went ahead and got a new D-160v2 for remote recording. Great deal - $799 new from Musician's Friend (had to kind of talk them into it). I haven't fired it up yet, but I did crack open the drive caddy. Voila! I think the thing shipped with a 30 gig quantum hard drive. The ad said it shipped...

    "save loop files at project tempo"

    Anybody had any luck with this command. I want to save acid loops on my windows machine and import them into protools LE (on a separate mac machine). Will this command work? How does acid know what the tempo is? Will this only work if the programs are on the same machine? Thanks

    One hits on Acid

    I just installed Acid Pro and the manual is pretty skimpy. I want to know hoe to insert a "one-hit" loop in a measure at a position different than the 1st beat. I try to put it in with the pencil, but the hit, lets say a kick drum, only plays the first beat. I thought I could put it anywhere...

    Amen

    Or shall I say "damn straight". I would go for that. I've been posting d16 stuff for a while. It was kind of lonely at first, but has picked up some. I agree with the d1600 thoughts. I think korg will soon be seen as one of the better stand-alones, instead of the oddball. Really, mostly...

    Anyone using Delta 1010 on mac? (come on - I'm talking to you!!)

    I have a mac g4 400mhz and a delta 1010. I need some basic recording software and I am thinking of running cakewalk metro 5.0. I don't want to wrestle with logic audio's 1,000 page manual yet, and it would seem odd to try MOTU DP since I already have a Delta soundcard. Protools won't get ANY...

    Is cakewalk metro 5.0 for mac a dead end?

    I have a mac g4 400 mhz and a delta 1010 soundcard. I want to try Metro 5.0 as software. Anybody know how well it works. Also, does anybody know how many tracks can be recorded at once? Can PA convert AIF file from Metro into wav files? Can PA 9.0 save as an AIF file? Lots of questions...

    I updated my d16 hard drive myself

    Yes, I did the thing that Korg denies could be done. I ordered a 6 gig drive with the same specs as the older drive, except it was 6 gigs instead of the original 2.1 gigs. I ordered it from mobile planet - model #mk6411mat. It was pricey at over $200, but after losing 2 hours of recording...

    Delta 1010 on mac g4

    I have a mac g4 400mhz that I want to start using for recording. I bought an M-Audio delta 1010 to use as In/Out, but i'm not sure how well it will work on mac platform. It was several hundred dollars cheaper than MOTU 2408 and I chose not to go with Digidesign digi001 for other reasons...

    Updating D16 hard drive. I'm doing it myself!

    Just to let any d16 users out there know. I got tired of Korg telling me that the HDD on the d16 can't be updated. Using info found on other sites I ordered a 6 gig laptop disk with similar specs to the original 2.1 gig drive. I hope it works, because these size drives are getting harder to...

    Word Clock vs Midi Clock

    Folks: Is word clock the same as midi clock? I see that the M-audio delta 1010 will synch with word clock. My Korg d16 has midi clock capability (also MTC ans MMC), and I want to synch it with a delta 1010 or some other card. Thanks

    Loops for Mac

    I just bought a mac g4 (used) to use in my home studio. I also record with a korg d16. One of the reasons I bought the computer was to add some loop-based capability such as acid pro. Now I find out that acid is just for windows users. Am I screwed? Are there comparable programs for mac...

    G3 recording

    I usually record on a Korg d16, however, I am thinking of buying a used mac g3 for about $800. I don't know much about macs, but I think it is 300mhz. If I bump the ram to 192 meg and throw in a second 7200 rpm drive, how many tracks can I realistically expect to record. If it is less than...

    Synching d16 with cakewalk

    I use a Korg d16 for recording, but I would like to be able to transfer my tracks to cakewalk on my computer. The d16 will generate MMC and MTC. If I wanted to synch the d16 with cakewalk, how would I do it. Lets say I got a soundcard/breakout box with midi in/out, could I transfer two...

    5.1 amps for mixing

    I am currently using my Sony home stereo receiver for mixing and playback. It works pretty well (better when my yorkville monitors arrive in mail soon!), but I am thinking of getting a reference amp. However, seeing how technology is advancing, I'm wondering if it would just be better to get a...

    Should I cancel the NT1 order?

    I just placed an order for a Rode NT1 for my home studio. It won't be shipped for a while since Musician's "Friend" has it back ordered. The problem is that I look in the latest Electronic Musician and see an add for this new Rode NT1000 that is supposed to be as good as a certain neumann mic...
