so there's a pair of used M-Audio BX5 D2's at a local big box music store for only $80, and the new pairs now range from $160 (cyber monday week deals) to $300 for the pair. I'm confident in the choice of monitor for my application, but the low price seems too good to be true. anyone have...

curses. zoom does NOT function as a hub - dongle can't be read through it. so i'll have to get a hub after all. i did find out though that the e-drums do have a traditional midi out - so perhaps an interface with a midi thru is somewhere in my future -- the issue though is still that i don't...

wow - if the usb port on the zoom can take the dongle and the computer can read the registration through that way -- no usb hub needed! i'll be thrilled if that works, never would've thought of it. i guess that's why i ask the interwebs. the dm8pro (e-drums) do not have a traditional midi...

so i think i'm going to try a hub and download the trial of addictive drums. JG - you bring up another point i'm not sure of -- if run the e-drums and dongle through the hub, and the interface through the onboard usb input -- will i be able to set the stereo output to run to the interface in...

thanks for the replies, but my problem still remains -- in using cubase (which requires a usb dongle) i am OUT of usb inputs on the board -- there are only two - one for the dongle, and one for either my e-drums or the interface. i need to plug in both, so i need at least one additional usb...

i record with cubase 6 (dongle) and a macbook pro with only 2 usb inputs. i need to record with two usb inputs simultaneously (e-drums and an interface). my understanding is that a powered usb hub will not reduce power or produce latency issues. i don't need 7 inputs, really 2 or 3 would be...

hey - thanks for the response. the issue there is that i'm trying to record the drums in midi - either with ez or addictive - only the hi-hat and ride will be audio tracks recorded with mics.

no one's even got a "you're an idiot, just do this _____" response? or a "that's kind of weird, but it should work" ??? come on, i'm the ideal new poster here - a basic knowledge, lots of bass ackwards ideas and methods, but the desire and patience to listen and learn from a sea full of experts.

ok - so i'm not exactly a newbie, but i'm a self-taught, impatient, i-hate-recording-with-computers kind of guy who deserves to be scolded for my ignorance and stubborn approach. compared to most on this forum, i really don't know what i'm doing. that being said, i'm trying to record drums...
