    ACID 4.0 - record midi and audio simultaneously?

    Hi all - I know this is ancient software, but I started playing with it again recently now that I'm back into midi recording, & I like how easy & simple it is to use. The only problem is that there doesn't appear to be any way to record audio and midi at the same time. I don't know if later...

    slower than 70 BPM?

    Hi all: I've been using ACID 4.0 for awhile now with no problems, but I'm doing a song with a BPM of 55 right now, and it seems that ACID can't go below 70? Somebody please tell me I'm retarded and overlooking something obvious? thanks, Chris

    For Sale: Fostex MR-8 - $200

    Hey all: Well, I'm finally moving on to recording into the dang soundcard (I swore I'd never do it), so I'm going to let the little red guy go. It's in perfect condition, comes with the CF card, the manual, box, etc. I've only had it a few months, and I take very good care of my stuff - I quit...

    1.11 Software Upgrade

    So, I;ve only found one comment on the new upgrade - apparantly it adds a feature that lets you do away with "delete unused". Anyone else found anything else that is added by the upgrade? I can't find a single mention of its features on the Fostex site - not even in their support forum. And...

    What I Have Learned About Buying Guitars

    So recently I finally got together the bread to upgrade from my piece of shit generic C-Series dog-ass pawnshop electric guitar I've been whanging on for years. I've spent many an hour trolling through the forum here, learning a great deal about you good people (and occasionally learning *from*...

    what the hell is that noise? (mr-8)

    Hey folks: I just traded in a Boss 4-track for the mr-8, since it was the only one I could find for under $500 that recorded in uncompressed audio. Everything seems dandy, except that there is this constant, skittering, static-like noise that will not go away when recording. I'm satisfied it's...

    The Decline of Nowhereradio

    Okay - now about half the time I go there I get the infamous "do you want to download the GATOR spyware componants" message. And today when I went to someone's music page, I got about 20 pop-ups and had my homepage reset. My patience with this shit is at an end. And so are the days when I...

    Bad News

    Well, after my last fiasco of a song (took me 2 weeks to mix it and I never did get it right) I threw up the mic and did this whole thing - tracking, mixing, etc. in about 4 hours total, which is a freakin' world record for me. Plus, on this one I FINALLY got lucky and got a bass sound I'm...

    Groucho & Sluice

    So, I sent Sluice the basic rhythm track for this song and told him to play "like your hair's on fire". He totally delivered, as I think you'll agree. I was going for sort of a trashy garage rock sound on this, and I knew I could do the guitar & it might work out okay, but what I REALLY wanted...

    One For The Blues Guys (some goofy fun)

    Well, this is just a little bit of goof I thought I'd share. I been mixing and recording like a madman lately, so what do I do to take a break? Record something else.:) I didn't put anywhere near as much time into this as I usually do, but I kinda got a kick out of it, and since there's a bunch...

    Have I Wasted My Time Trying To Salvage This?

    Here's another salvage job I need some help with. This is a tune I recorded right when I first started a year and a half ago or so and I did a lot of things wrong. Anyway, I've tried to fix what I could, so let me know if this reeks of incompetence or what. I have a much better mic now (this...

    back to basics

    Well, I've been doing all this messing around lately with vocal effects and weird soundscapes, so I took a break and went back to the old "guitar/harp/vox" thing. I'll tell ya right up front this is pretty much the only straight ahead love song I've ever written (I always dug Randy Newman's...

    Notes From The Unemployed

    Well, I got laid off yet again, so - as usual - my music output goes way up. 3 songs in 2 days. Whoopee! I'm broke and prolific... Here's an odd little one for you to rip to shreds, laughing gleefully as you do it. I'm doing some experimenting with micing techniques, and other things - so let...
