    Where should I place a JoeMeek VC3Q in my signal chain?

    Hi all, I've had a few rushes of blood to the head over the last year, with the result that I ended up purchasing a bunch of new Effect Pedals and a Boss RC-50 Phrase looper. Previous to this I simply recorded my electric or Acoustic guitars through my VC3Q (either with a mic or DI'ed). I...

    USB Midi Input port has disappeared from Cubase & Reason

    I've just figured this out. For future reference, I uninstalled the software for my new Logitech Webcam, and suddenly it was fine again. The webcam drivers seem to take over the USB midi input ports somehow. Strange one.

    USB Midi Input port has disappeared from Cubase & Reason

    I'm using Cubase and Reason, and for some reason the USB Midi Input port has vanished from both these applications' list of Input ports. I've installed the latest drivers for my midi keyboard, and it's listed on the Hardware tab of my Sound and Audio Devices. Also, when I plug in my keyboard, I...

    BR-864 Has anyone heard *ANYTHING* else about this?

    I'm considering selling my 880ex and my Zoom RT-123 for a BR-864, mainly cos I do most of my recording onto a PC with Cubase SX and the Zoom is just a click-track player at the moment. Question (I've been looking everywhere for an answer to this): Does the BR-864 record in 16-bit or 24-bit...

    evolution mk249c

    Well,, I just got one last week and I have to say I'm a little bit pissed off. On the promotional stuff, I read "10 non volatile" memories. Unfortunately, I've just found out that this only refers to Program Change, MSB and LSB (I'm not even sure what these last two are for). The 249C does...

    16-Track wars, THE final debate

    The Roland Units (880ex, 1680) offer a choice of compressed or uncompressed... I've compared both types on my 880ex and I've found very little difference.

    Any nice people producing trance here?

    Re: "..like Haight-Ashbury. Remember how we capitalized on that scene?" No... I still like trance. And, guess what: I also love the Strokes. But then again, guitar music has always been number one with me. But what do I mean when I say the trance scene is dead? In Dublin, almost no clubs...

    What midi keyboard controller?

    You could also look at the Miditech Midicontrol keyboard: http://www.miditech.de/images/midicontrol1.jpg It's a bit pricier, because (I think) the keys on the Midicontrol are of a higher quality. Also, Evolution have a new 61-key keyboard out - the MK-361C. This one comes with 16 controller...

    Any nice people producing trance here?

    I was into the trance scene a few years ago when it was huge in Britian, Ireland and mainland Europe. I briefly tried writing some trance (Cubase, Reason & Bebirth) and realised very quickly it was very difficult to do well - especially if you're not a DJ or haven't listened to a huge amount of...

    Singer Wanted

    Re: YOU FUCKERS I can see why you're looking for a singer... Your lyrical ability is obviously terrible. Oh and, just in case you don't understand: "Lyrical Ability" = writing words and stuff.

    What the hell is Propellerhead's "Reason, Recycle etc." anyway?

    Just some points on Reason (from a user)... The only "sounds" that come from Reason are the Synths. Everything else - the DR Rex player, the Sampler and Drum machione - are sample-based. Obviously, the samples that come in the Reason box will not be to everyone's liking, but it's easy enough...

    What the hell is Propellerhead's "Reason, Recycle etc." anyway?

    I have Reason and I love it! No, you don't get mics or monitors. But you do get synths, samplers, drum machines, mixers and effects. I have it synced to my 880ex (which does the guitars, vocals). Wouldn't trade it for anything.

    still got pops and clicks on my audiophile 24/96

    I had a similar problem with my card... It only happened to me when recording. Unchecked the DMA option on my hard drive and that fixed it. Something to do with my motherboard I believe.

    Miking vs. Direct Signal

    I had the same problem for ages... I was recording into a dynamic mic striaght into my VS880ex. But then I bought a JoeMeek trackpak (VC3Q and a JM-47 mike) and it's resulted in a huge difference - it sounds like what a miked acoustic guitar should sound like. I normally place the mic directly...
