Also . . . And I nearly forgot . . . perform, perform, perform. If you're decent, you'll sell records. If you're actually good, you'll sell a lot of records.

Give 'em away. Seriously. You have to be ready to give away fully half of your first print run as promos. This is an investment in your career - send them to every magazine, radio station, and (in the case of hip hop) DJ who you think might play or review it. Make sure you have a good...

But does Sonar have the sort of grid setup of Acid? i.e., if I don't want to use loops, but discontinuous samples, will I be able to closely edit the placement of individual events? I'll probably be getting Sonar anyway, so . . . Wait, I guess i just need to get the demo, don't I?

Thinking of Getting Acid - Questions for current users I've been playing with the demo, and I'm simply moist with anticipation. I'm going to be dicing up samples to make loops (i.e. pull out a kick from here and a snare from there and rearrange them), but also want to be able to record audio...

Lorde, I figure if you can figure out how to use a midi sequencer in your comp to trigger hardware, it should be a walk in the park for you to figure out VST instruments. I've been using the cubase loop function and my interface to play drum loops, then tweak them by hand. Incredibly fun...

Adam, thanks for the help (thanks everyone for the help), but I only have one (mono) pre-fader send. So I don't think it'll work. I'm gonna see what I can figure out tomorrow night. Thanks again for all the help guys, I apologize for not being more clear on what I'm working with.

Except that the aux sends are Mono.

I think "intimidation" is the key word here. I'm just at the stage where I'm barely, barely beginning to get my legs under me, but the last six months or so have been a touch and go affair. It sounds corny, but the emotional support of knowing there are others out there able to help, not just...

One thing I really notice is that SE only gets one layer of undo. If you're doing any sort of nonlinear editing that could be a serious drawback.

Let me try to clarify my current setup - First off, I'm doing exclusively direct ins, from hardware synths/samplers, so I don't have to worry about feedback from the monitors. I have my DAW Out routed through a stereo channel on the Yamaha. The obvious problem with this, what I'm working on...

Got a Mo Phatt the other day. I haven't even touched it (still playing with the analog synth i got at the same sale) but from reading the manual, I see no mention of the ability to program beats? Just use the pre-existing beats? Seems improbable. Can anyone point to a good tutorial and/or...

Chip, thanks for the link, that sounds like exactly what I need . . . couldn't find any prices but I'll poke around some more. Hilarious, it just seems ridiculous to me to spend extra money on a headphone amp to amplify a mono signal. How much would I have to spend to get a mixer with an...

So, this is probably a total pipe dream. I've got a Yamaha MG10, which I'm finding doesn't have quite the flexibility I need in terms of signal routing - specifically, it's not easy to create a monitor mix (to see the entire sorry tale, read this thread...

Please don't think I'm assuming you're an idiot . . . . . . but you've got both phone plugs in, right? If you just have the output plug in a L(mono) jack and you're putting it through a mixer or headphone amp, that would explain it, 'cause the amp/mixer would split the mono signal, but if you...

Tell me, what would this Aux output normally be used for? 'Cause it seems like using it as a monitor or alternate mix isn't completely crazy - seems odd that it would be engineered into impossibility.
