I know what you mean, it just seems overly complicated to do the most basic things at times and I think it comes down to how much configurability you've got in both Cubase and these controllers. It's really easy to start messing around with settings which aren't anything to do with your problem...

I was thinking about getting one of those Roland VS units just because they're so cheap and for the nostalgia. I remember spending so much time on one, and I loved using it, but then I remember the access times, and the noise of the zip drive!

Thanks for the link, it reminded me of a page in the DM2000 which asks for the address selection for the MMC and checked that out again. I had matched these addresses up with Cubase, both were set at address 30. Then I decided to change the address on the DM2000 to 127, but as I wound the dial...

Yeah it's certainly different in 9, I've been trying for 3 or 4 days straight trying to get this to work but I know that someone who knows what they're doing could have a look at it and within 5min solve it. That's what's so annoying. I just want to get back to recording music but can't do that...

Hello everyone, I hope someone has used or is using this combination. I'm really struggling with this. I'm only wanting to use Cubase as a multi-channel audio recorder, I'm wanting to use the DM2000 to mix on and then output a final stereo mix from that back into Cubase for mastering. This has...

Thanks for replying, the only problem is I don't see any schematic which uses the same capacitor values which are installed so I can't use that as a guide. You can see the other capacitor in the picture, it looks like there's supposed to be one there because there's space for it but it's...

Hi all, I'm trying to restore my twin reverb back to health, I love the amplifier but I've never gotten round to giving it the TLC it deserves. However, there seems to be a discrepancy in capacitor sizes and online schematics and I'm not sure how to continue. This amp was gifted to me by my...

I'll have to do some fault finding tomorrow when I've got time then, what you say makes sense that I could narrow down the fault a bit more before sweating the joints. I'll let you know how I get on.

sadly it's nothing so simple as a pad button, so i think you're right it's just knackered. it's adding so much audible distortion i thought the vox amp was over-driven at first, i mean it's not in your face but more of a fizzle at the top end. i just happened to marry up the vox amp with the...

I think I'll go over all the solder joints (if they're reachable) and heat them up and melt them to see if it cures the problem then, a wee bit of new solder shouldn't do any harm as well. I'll give it a shot, the unit's going to cost too much to repair anyway and at the moment it's spares and...

hi mjb the computer noise is not relevant to this, it's something that's very quiet and probably wouldn't annoy most people, but i hear it, it's probably due to a grounding issue. it's like you can hear an audible sound of the computer working. i wear ear defenders along with sound isolating...

Hi, I have a simple set up. The only preamp I use is a DAV BG1 along with an avalon U5 and these run into an RME interface which output to an Allen and Heath Zed10 mixer. It's a bit of a waste, but this is an easy control for speaker & headphone volume and it cut out the computer noise I was...

I've done that in the past but it's never reduced the level significantly enough, the garage isn't really big enough with drums in there as well. I was looking into building a small isolation booth but that was going to cost too much and take up too much space, then I thought about making a...

Hi everyone, I don't have the most money in the world so I've decided to build my own speaker cabinet. The whole point of this is to start me on the way to having more variety of sounds from the limited equipment I have and to future proof it so to speak. I only have a Vox AC15 amp, and a...

Bought a DW5000 and I no longer have a problem. The hoops, esp the resonant head for the snare are definitely mishapen. I guess I can just keep measuring the diameter and bending them back into shape. If not I’ll have to just sell it for spares and repairs.
