Hi all, I'm interested stripping down some of the techno "beat & groove" FX on my Roland XP-30 and using them as rhythm tracks for a few recordings, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to adjust the tempos of these particular sounds. I go in to EDIT the parameters of those...

I've been looking into buying CD-Rs "wholesale" online to burn demos at home in order to market my project (which is being professionaly duplicated and mastered) but am suffering some confusion. Is there any MAJOR difference between CD-R brands? I thought I could get them in bulk significantly...

I'm in an intermediate stage of this project, and thought it wise to burn the nearly finished instrumental tracks to a CD in order to preview the mix on various systems and get a gist of what I'd be in for when I went back to it. I've been mixing on a pair of MAudio Studiophiles, and...

I'm trying to get my recordings from a Yamaha MD4s minidisk recorder into my computer as MP3s to eventually burn the final cuts onto CDs. But recently, I've not been satisfied with the headphone out-to-line-in approach. I don't know if it's my soundcard or my software, but I've been getting...

I'm done recording my songs into a 4 track Yamaha MD4s minidisk mixer/recorder. I've mixed them, and they sound great. Now I need to transfer them somehow into my computer in order to put them onto a CD. I'm wondering what people consider the BEST way to accomplish this. I want the music to...

I'm going from the headphone jack on my yamaha MD4s into the line-in port on my brand new SB Live Digital Sound Card using a brand new stereo cable. Everything sounds good, and the mix stays consistant when I listen to the MP3s I'm making, but there is a slight audio distortion, especially on...

I have some questions about tequnique. I'm trying to make near-studio quality recordings of about 10 songs of mine, and after making test recordings of all of them, noting what seemed to work and not work, and getting some new equipment (a drum machine for perfect rythm, and clearer definition...

I'm using a Yamaha 4 track MD recorder. I'll eventually be recording vocals, and I was wondering what I should look into as far as vocal effects. All I really need is some warm reverb to help blend the vocal tracks into the mix, make it sound more 'studio' but I don't really know what kind of...

I'm outputting from the headphone jack of my minidisk mixer/recorder to the line-in on my computer and trying to create MP3s of the songs that have been recorded on the minidisk. I've been doing this on a friend's computer all along, but when I do it on mine, there's a really terrible hiss that...

I've lost the manual for my Yamaha MD4s, but there is all this talk of these 'virtual tracks'...it seems they may be of some use, but I have little idea what purpose they serve, or how to take advantage of them. Any info or tips on them, reguarding this machine would be greatly appreciated...

I'm working with a Yamaha MD4. I don't know what I'm doing wrong here, but whenever I bounce tracks, even just two at a time with simple backup vocals, the end result yields a LOT of distortion. Lowering the volume while bouncing seems to help, but I can still hear the fuzziness cutting...
