Having to do loads of takes can get pretty frustrating, so I like to practice parts with a looping pedal quite a bit before I try to record them, I also like to do the whole thing in one take because it feels more 'honest' If I'm having trouble getting a particular take, one thing I've found...

You're right, I checked the manual and there is no way to perform a factory reset, the REC/PLAY/DUB light blinks when you've pressed the footswitch to start recording a phrase and it only stops blinking and starts recording when it gets a strong enough input signal to start it off, so maybe the...

Assuming you haven't already tried it, what about doing a factory reset?

I was basing it on my own (very positive) experience with the 880, I've just checked the box it came in and the one I've got is in fact 'Version 2.0' (non 'buggy' OS) so you are in fact 'wrong' about them still shipping it with the 'buggy' OS - I used quotes because, to my mind, 'buggy' implies...

Yes you can, there's an assignable output especially for that, and you can create your own custom kits where you can individually adjust the levels of each kit element. I've had an 880 for about a year now, I was originally going to be using it for Bass and drums for practice, but the Bass on it...

Well if you can work out how much $$$ you would get if you sold it then add $500-600 on and see if you can find a guitar that does what you want for that amount you might be better off, because it would have better resale value than a guitar that has been modified, then again, sometimes you get...

OK, thanks a lot, that's a relief.

I normally run my DSL50 head through a 1 x 12" cab (which has one 8 ohm Celestion 70/80 in it) and though I've only had it for a couple of months, I'm pretty used to the way it sounds with all the usual settings that I use, anyway, the other day I decided to put it through the speaker in my...

You've not said how much you want to spend, but those DR-670's are about £200 in the UK, whereas the SR-16's are £80, and for about £120, you've also got the option of the Boss DR-3, all of the Boss machines will allow you to program in 5/4, 7/4 etc, in fact I think you're alright as long as the...

That's interesting, though it's a bit late to do anything about it, but I've avoided the E-mu cards up til now because I've heard quite a lot of people saying that the drivers aren't as stable as the Audiophile's and also that the DSP mixer thing is much harder to understand than the...

That may be true, but I only ever ran my 2496 at 44 Khz and so far I have only been running my 192 at 44 Khz too, but as Mr Hilarious said further up the thread: ...I couldn't give you any hard scientific data to back up what I'm saying, but I've sat and listened *very* closely to hours and...

OK, this is just a bit of noodling thing I did with my brother about a week after I bought the 192, there's a mic'd electric bass, a VST organ and 2 or 3 mic'd electric guitars. The drums are samples triggered with an electronic drum kit. I'm not sure what to use for a comparison track because...

...Just a quick *bump* here to say that I followed the advice of the people that recommended the 192 and it the quality of recordings I'm getting is noticeably better, much clearer with better separation between the instruments, IMO, and it's noticeable on pretty much every instrument, though to...

I use a DR-880 to record drum tracks on my PC's soundcard and I tend to compose a MIDI drum track in my sequencing program and then record a rough audio drum track, record the rest of the instruments, and then I can come back later and use the MIDI drum track to re-record the drums with a...

I've got a Casio CTK 691 and I spent quite a while using the headphone out to record directly into my soundcard, but I have a feeling that the amp for the headphone out circuit is not all that great, because it doesn't sound as good as when it's coming throught the built-in speakers, so I tried...
