Soundcard is Emu 0404 USB Midi keyboard is Yamaha PSR225 OS is Windows XP SP2 MIDI input set to: EMU 0404 | USB Audio set to: ASIO EMO 0404 | USB If I press a key on my MIDI keyboard I don't hear anything but if I click on the Proteus keyboard (F9) I can hear sounds. However, Score Writer can...

If one is not interested in the USB device's recording features, for playback only (WDM drivers/DAC/analogue output stage) is it worth stepping up to the E-Mu 0404/M-Audio Fast Track Pro over the E-Mu 0202/M-Audio Fast Track?

My current USB sound card (Creative Audigy 2 NX) has stopped working so I need to replace it. Playback quality is my main concern. I use this system for mixing and effects but not recording (WAVs imported from another system). So I just want to listen with good quality. OS: Windows XP PC: IBM...

I'm looking for a keyboard amp (in the 30w + range) some features I would like: -send/return loop -direct out / recording out -flat response across the frequency spectrum -built in EQ -no digital circuitry can you recommend any? I currently have a Crate KX15 (12w) which lacks the loop and is...

Which effects need to be applied prior to digitizing? i.e. which effects should be done in the analogue domain; which are OK doing in the software after recording. One converted to digital I want the recording to stay there until the CD player's DAC outputs it. when in the signal chain should...

This is what I'm after: Izotope Vinyl http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/vinyl/ Any way to do this live? perhaps combining EQ and a tube overdrive pedal?

do you know of any effect which mimics a Victrola or 1940s-ish horn speaker?

digital effects pedals rapidly drain batteries. while I could use ac adaptors they tend to use up 2-3 outlet spaces. I've seen many AA NiMH rechargeables but thusfar few for 9V. Do they exist? What mAh rating is required for use with guitar effect (like with Digitech MultiChorus XMC)? thanks...

can guitar effects be used with a keyboard? I assume being line level must turn down the volume knob or is there something that does the reverse of a DI box

My recorder is a Fostex MR-8HD which I've just realized does not have an equalization section! After looking at some block diagrammes I think I would like to equalize after preamp/DI but before conversion to digital. Here's my typical recording chain: Yamaha electric violin --> preamp/DI -->...

Thanks for the replies. Now what to do... I have a Yamaha MG10/2 mixer it has 4 XLR in but only 2 TRS out (having only 2 simultaneous channels is not really a problem for me). The main problem with using it is that the phantom power is broken. I suppose I could get phantom power supplies. I...

I see that MXR (Dunlop) also has a pedal-type EQ. None of these pedals seem to be specified for THD or S/N Would a "home audio" equalizer work? http://www.amazon.com/Kenwood-KE-205-7-band-graphic-equalizer/dp/B000226758 S/N 96dB THD .009% Range +/- 10dB but the input impedance is 47 kilo-ohms...

My (guitar) amp has only a Bass and a Treble control but I would like to be able to shape the midrange. Assuming that I don't want to buy a new amp to perform this function, what is the best way to add more EQ control without introducing too much noise to the signal chain? 1. Add an inline...

I am primarily a violinist and keyboardist but would like to learn acoustic guitar. In my experience, very cheap instruments are not worth buying as they are not setup properly for ease of play (action, in guitarist parlance) so the beginner gives up; at the same time, as I beginner I cannot...
