I'm using a Shure SM-57 with an Art MP Preamp into a Roland 840ex digital multitracker. I didn't notice it before, but it seems like recently I'm getting a lot more of a hiss than I used to. (The only thing I can think of that may have caused this is I put the wrong power adapter into the...

I just bought an Emu/Emagic Audiowerk 2 soundcard for my computer for the main purpose of being able to transfer the stuff I record on my Roland 840ex down on my computer for easier editing as well as cd burning. I've figured out how to record the tracks on my computer but they play too fast...

I'm considering getting a mic preamp but my budget is super super slim...all I have is a Shure SM57...I guess my budget is around $100 which may seem ridiculously low for many of you pros out there but I just want to boost my sound a little...not expecting pro sound--just trying to make a...

I have an 840ex (which actually now, because of some freak accident--a guitar string got caught in one of the mixer slots and shorted out one of my tracks--is now only a 7 track...of course the 840 is really only a 4 track to begin with...)... and I am looking into getting a soundcard for my...

A common question...my computer is 500mhz processor, 96 ram, 13gig hard drive and a Roland VS-840ex...what I want to do is dump my tracks from my 8-track down onto my computer for easier mixing and editing and also for more tracks potentially...not knowing what to look for, I've considered the...

I have a Yamaha A3000 sampler and an Ensoniq synth. I am about to buy a sequencer (quite possibly a Yamaha QY-300...if not that, a Roland MC-50mkII...which is better? Any other suggestions for that price range?). What I have in mind doing, since I am mainly interested in producing complex...

Can software and hardware sequencers communicate? (I know nothing about MIDI by the way...I'm just about to get started) I want to edit and sequence on my computer and then dump the MIDI info down to a hardware sequencer so I can have the ease and complexity of computer arranging, but I'm...

I've never used MIDI at all before but I'm about to get started (aside request: anybody recommend a $300 dollar or less range sequencer? I've been looking at the Roland MC-50mkII used, but what about the Yamaha Q300, or others?). I'm mainly interested for the moment in using MIDI for live...

Here's what I'm interested in doing: I'm planning on getting programs like Cakewalk and Acid for my computer. (I know nothing about recording on a computer.) I was hoping that I would be able to record on my Roland 840 EX or take what I have already recorded on it and dump it into these...
