Hi Gang. I have an opportunity to score for an upcoming TV show, but I need to create convincing orchestral brass sounds with my Emu ESI-4000 sampler. What's the best CD-ROM set for this kind of sound? I'm looking not only for solo instruments, but also sampled sections (trombones, trombones &...

Hi gang. Hoping you can help me. For the past two years, I have been using a Roland XP-50 keyboard in Cubase without any problems. Last week I purchased my second MIDI device-- an Emu ESI-4000 sampler. I figured that Cubase would need OMS to help it find both peices of gear, now that my MIDI...

G'day, Everyone. Does anyone have the latest version of OMS? I need the version that includes Patches for the Roland XP-50 keyboard and E-mu ASI-4000 sampler. Your help is much appreciated!!

Thanks for the advice, guys! Based upon your comments, and my own research, I think I'm going to go with the Emu ESI-4000. Little learning curve. Phat sounds. Great library. Around $1000. Thanks again. jethani

An extension is a specific part of system software that gets loaded when a Mac boots up. You can decide what extensions to boot by defining your own extension sets. I know that Cubase runs better if you hone a specific set of extensions, trimming a lot of the fat off your system load.

Hi Gang. I'm running Cubase VST 4.0 on a Mac PPC 8500. What is the best set of extensions to load for Cubase? I have a secondary hard disk dedicated for audio, and I have a Mark of the Unicorn 2408. I know that in general, the fewer extensions loaded, the better. I'd appreciate your help on this.

Hi Everyone. I'm sure this has come up before, but my searches are proving fruitless. I am using Cubase on a Mac PPC. I bring all audio into my computer by way of a Fostex mixer. I just bought a MOTU 2408, and am excited to get it hooked up properly. I have installed the PCI card & installed...

Hey Don-- That's great news! I can relax now & wait 'til October. Better yet, I can show my support of this great magazine by getting a subscription. What do you think? Cheers, jethani

Hi Kahuna-- It's not that one. I also read "Recording" magazine, and while I enjoy it, "Home Recording" magazine was publishing as recently as August. (Their cover story was called "The Format Wars.") "Home Recording" magazine's website is still up, but it hasn't been updated for over a month...

Hi Everyone. Been away a while;-- got married in India! It's good to be back. Does anyone know what happened to Home Recording magazine? I used to pick it up at the newsstand across the street every month, and now it looks like it's gone. Haven't been able to find it anywhere. Very sad if it...

Hi Gang. I just ordered my 500 Mhz, 20-Gig G4 from Apple. It will ship at the end of October. Any thoughts? Hesitations? Concerns? Opinions? I still have time to cancel the order if someone can come up with an Achille's heel! Cheers, jethani

Hi Everyone. My new B&W G3 should be arriving this week. Very exciting! I will be running everything from within Cubase, and have resolved to only install music sofware/hardware on this machine. On my old 120/7200 (from where I now type), I never bought a soundcard. I dialed in my vocals...

Greetings, all. I have decided after much deliberation to invest in a nice sampler for my Mac-Cubase home studio. The canned string sounds on my keyboard just don't cut it anymore. Being fairly new to the world of samplers, I have been studying up on several units, as well as demo-ing some of...

Hi There. I just bought an Alesis M-EQ 230 Graphic EQ on eBay and have been very pleased with it. It is a dual 30-band rackmount unit. I only use this to sweeten-up the incoming vocal/instrument sound, as Cubase provides my "real" eq for individual tracks, as well as the final mix. Hope this...
