I have a Casio WK 6500 keyboard. The only possible midi connection is a USB port connection. I am using Cakewalk on a Windows 10 64bit computer. How do I set it up (if it's possible) to act as a midi controller? Any software that I need? Do I need to assign anything to anything (not that I know...

That's what I was looking for. If I can figure out how to record at half speed, which is what I did with my cassette recorder, the problem would be solved. Thanks

Back in the days of cassette recording, I just put the tape on half speed, sang the higher parts and then when I played it back at regular speed you would hear the higher harmonies that I could not produce with my regular voice. So my question is, with digital recording (I am using an older Boss...

Just bumping again to see if there is anyone else that has an idea or a technique to do this. Thanks.

Though the BR-600 is by no means new, I am new to it. I have the manual, but when they say the machine is intuitive, I'm just not sure to whom. On my ancient Tascam 4track cassette recorder, when there was a song in a key too high for me to sing, I could just slow down the tape and when I played...

Here is an older recording of a song of mine. https://www.reverbnation.com/playlist/view_playlist/-4?page_object=artist_1355361 Now that I have a newer digital recorder (8 track), I would like to update it. Any and all suggestions would be welcome. Thanks.

The song begs for re-recording, but, yeah - I know how flawed the original is, what with my (then) lack of know-how and the equipment at the time. That's why, at least song feedback is all I can hope for. Just put it out there to see what happens. Will be glad to get more actual critique when I...

Thought I would try to post the Soundcloud track so you don't have to navigate offsite. Let's see if this works. <iframe width="300" height="355" style="position: relative; display: block; width: 300px; height: 355px;"...

Another Tascam PortaII cassette classic from the 80's. Not only do I like this song, but the fact that I wrote a pop song under 2 minutes long -just like AM radio! - fills me with a certain satisfaction. Yamaha RX 11 drums, Aria electric, Yamaha bass, Midiverb and me. Could be better recorded...

It's funny reading this post, as from the git-go it seems that most replying already know the answer - different strokes for different folks and different ways for different days. That being said, if it's a hook or melody snippet, or even rhythm, I'll probably approach from the music first. If...

Thanks for the comments. I can't wait to see what the new equipment (and my increased wisdom, of course) will do.

Just recorded it in my dining room with a Tascam PortaII Ministudio cassette recorder. Yamaha RX11 drum machine (no volume/pressure sensitive pads) and my acoustic guitar mic-ed. I might have used my Midiverb for the vocals but didn't have any other sort of compression or processing tools...

One more from the 80's. Didn't have my bass at this time so I had to use my Casio CZ101 to handle the chore. Not much processing involved, but It's one of my favorite self-penned songs. Please let me know what you think. Thanks for listening. http://donloe.bandcamp.com/track/second-time-around

Just recorded it in my dining room with a Tascam PortaII Ministudio cassette recorder. Yamaha RX11 drum machine (no volume/pressure sensitive pads) Yamaha bass, Aria ProII guitar through an original Rockman and my acoustic guitar mic-ed. I might have used my Midiverb for the vocals but didn't...

Just thought I would bump this up and perhaps get just a little feedback, at least on the song. Thanks for viewing.
