So no one wastes time typing, recaps here: Multi-Pattern Microphones: What, Where and How? | Shure Blog However given all that and a fair bit of researching generally I'm not 100% sure or convinced which is necessarily better than the other (and realize the answer can vary pending specifics)...

Not quite sure I understood this as well as I thought, which wasn't saying a bunch in the first place :( OK assuming I have a keyboard and other equipment probably equipped necessary (AI, MIDI connections etc etc): Let's see: 1. I can record it MIDI-wise. eh. I might muck with that at...

The short answer I'm sure is "it depends," but generally speaking, I'm wondering about people's experiences and the good/bad/ugly with various AIs. Did you run into issues, and if so, how much gain did you have that didn't seem quite adequate? It seems most have at least 45-50db with most in...

Prefer experience talking but will settle for 2d-hand info of people you trust music-wise. I say "not-entirely-worthless" because I know how in love people often get with gear and insist you have to get something pricier/trendier/etc than what is really necessary, esp for a home studio type who...

Everywhere I read that in the end you should do this with speakers, but headphones can be a useful alternate way to listen. Has anyone ever monitored only with headphones? I'm thinking this is workable with "open" ones. Frankly I'd prefer to avoid the expense of speakers (excuse me, "studio...

Be interested to hear from those who have used and how well it did/didn't work (including of course the circumstances around it...what kind of music being done, what if any other treatments, what mics used etc).

Have never used, can someone confirm at a very basic level how these do or can work, not sure I'm clear. Basically you open it up/install to your DAW and using the DAW you configure it to "map" to your keyboard and then play it as if it were just another voice/tone/whatever you want to call it...

FWIW (nothing to me but others may disagree): Roland Intros FA-07 Music Workstation Keyboard – Synthtopia

Anyone else not get why many keyboards even today you can only save to an SD card? wtf, this isn't a camera. Shouldn't they all be USB flash drives? What advantage does SD have? Cheaper to implement?

Keyboards for dummies question: for all intents and purposes, what's the (practical) diff? I get that a sequencer is recording the MIDI data, not the sounds themselves, but if I record something with a keyboard's sequencer or with its recorder and play it back, it would be the same...is the...

Realizing I needed to improve my knowledge here, I bounced around and found this, thought it was a good recap: Recording Studio Cables: All You Need to Know | Ledger Note They're quite wrong with their "That's really all you need to know about recording studio cables" bit, but again, IMO it...

After some input on the AI thread (and thx) and reading stuff elsewhere, I'm thinking this is worth opting for, i.e. a mixer which can double as an AI (many can nowdays it would appear). Experiences appreciated. Offhand I think one with some effects is preferable over one without...I'm not...

Just curious. Pls include what kind of stuff you're doing along with the given mic(s).

This looks great (even if somewhat dated) but when I download it's totally unreadable. Anyone able to grab a readable version (and how)?

Kicking this around and wondering what y'all have used and what you did/didn't like about it....other general info in this regard could be helpful as well. Browsing the net frankly for the most part has told me little beyond a spec sheet and they all pretty much recommend the same stuff...and...
