    MIDI Newb...Don't have a Midi Modulator..Can I plug MIDI device directly into PC??

    I have NO experience with using keyboard controllers, soft synths, MIDI modulators, none of that. I've always mic'd synths since I started on my Roland VS 1680. A couple months ago I upgraded from the VS 1680 to a Tascam NEO 2488 MTR. I use both that AND Sonar 8.0 Producer Edition sequencer...

    Sonar 8 Prod. Ed. - Choppy recording???

    I recently upgraded from LE to Sonar 8 producer edition and for the first day I was recording and using the program just fine, no problems. Then all of a sudden I began having troubles recording. When I record, instead of a smooth line going across the track display, it's all choppy, stopping...

    Linking a VS-1680-slave-to a Tascam NEO2488-master-....possible?

    Roland being so big on the propietary tech and formats, I wouldn't be surprised if this was the dumbest question I could have asked. Still, I want to know what some of the MTR guru's think about the possible combining of two great but rather different digital mixers. I love the Tascam (I...

    Tascam NEO2488 - Any reason to buy a pre-amp? And an EFX Question

    I have a NEO2488 and it already has 48V phantom power, so my condensors work fine. But would a quality (I realize this is subjective) pre-amp noticeably do anything for the sound quality of vocals, instruments, anything recorded with the mics I'm already using (AKG Perception 200 and 170)? Is...

    ?'s re: Installing IDE (Roland VS-1680) hard drive in PC w/SATA HD

    I'm trying to transfer tracks/songs onto my computer in wav. format. I've already been to thegoodlibrary, bootdisk.com and the Hitachi site as well as this formum and several others. While I've grasped some of the process, I'm not the most computer savvy individual. My 16 track hard drive has...

    Transfering files from VS-1680 to PC

    I don't have the money to buy the SCSI hardware or whatever its called to burn the files to CD. Does anyone know of a cheap way of transfering track/song files onto a computer without losing the effects? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a hundred songs and I'm out of room and I'd...

    Running AKG Perception 200 through Roland VS 1680: Preamp necessary?

    Hey everyone, my name is Jonah, brand new around here. Just like the thread says, do I need a preamp to run an AKG Perception 200 condensor mic through my Roland VS 1680? Or are the "built in" preamps sufficient? I have absolutely NO CLUE about this. I mean, I'd purchase a preamp if I...
