Can anyone out their give me some suggestions on an other means of external storage. I have the VS-1680 with the expanded software. Knowing that the 2 gigs of storage within the unit would not be enough for multiple projects I purchased an external 9 gig Seagate Cheetah, I thought that would...

a rocket scientist!!!! Nor, will they know as much as you do about that red button that says REC, on it. So you have to be careful, go ahead and let your ceint have control, but draw that line to where you might want to say something like, "I love that phazer too, but do you hear that hiss in...

Man, I think I'm right in the middle of the road on this one.I guess I would think of my self as a fish in the process of getting big. I able to eat and live in modest dwellings in the heart of Chicago, all on the support of my studio work. I'm only 23, so it's hard to convince people how fluid...

HI SMoovdj, On vocals I usally record directly to TAPE,(lol... Tape is a 6 gig hard drive) useing dynamic exfixs and EQ. This is not something you want to do unless you are pritty confident you can get the sound you want. I usally go EQ into the compressor then into any weird stuff like...

Yes, I always go sirect with bass. Thanks man I try that... Signa1

Right now I’m working with a great young band, they all are great musicians/songwriters. All their instruments are in good shape as well. They play a funky jazz rock type of music.(Dave Matthew’s type stuff) I’m done tracking drums and rhythm guitar, I want to record bass now. This bass...
