So I bought a ground loop isolator to record music with humless quality. The problem is though I don't know where/how to hook the thing up to my mixer. My mixer...

http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062214 I have started to get really bad ground looping recently, and I know my cords aren't the problem. Do you think this would be compatible with a USB mixer? (Its a MW10 Yamaha mixing studio by the way)

I currently use a Yamaha MW10 mixing studio usb mixer to carry sound from into my PC. I think it has wore out, as it isn't able to record music to the same volume it used (and it also produces an unattractive amount of hum). Is there another type of USB device that I can plug condensor mics...

There aren't faders, etc because I work digitally. I just use the mixer to transmit the sound made from my keyboard and other instruments. I only have one wire in it, the one I'm using to record.

I'm 17 with limited funds so almost all of my music comes out of either my keyboard, midi sequencers, or acoustic beatcraft. There's a guitar here and there and maybe a tambourine or two, but the majority of my instrumentation is digital.

So anyway for the past week or so my mixer has been serving me well; it produced very little hiss or noise on the recordings it produced on my recordings (which I mix using acid music studio 7.. heheh). Today, however, it has been producing an abnormal amount of hiss and noise, to the point...

I haven't even touched it.

The song I am working on right now has only two components so far; a drum beat made on Beatcraft and a yamaha electronic piano part (which was recorded through a guitar cable into my USB mixer) I listened to the playback and on the fourth chord of the piano part there is a small, but apparent...

I think it is very important to visualize the song before you actually start composing the different sections. Have a musical/sonic concept in mind and let your skill and imagination construct the parts for you. If you lack skill, just keep practicing and write music that is easy for you to...

Okay I'm new to recording and especially new to midi recording. I have a copy of Acid Music Studio 7 which is really all I can afford right now (I am a teenager) and I have been acquiring plug ins from various sources. I recently found a free copy of "Sonik Synth 2" within my USB mixer box and I...

I'm attempting to record midi for the first time with Acid Music Studio 7 (a crap program, I know) and I don't understand a lot of key elements of midi recording. Here are some issues that are most important to the music I'm making. 1. What is the difference between DLS and VST instruments? 2...

First off my keyboard is a Yamaha "PSR-E413" and to record it I plug it directly into my mixer. I've recorded countless tracks with it and I haven't really experienced any problems. Now when I try to record chords with it, the chords always produce a "quiver" and the notes sound like they are...

Okay, I think this thread was written with an ill understanding of my situation. I am actually having more trouble writing music than I am lyrics, and I think I hinted at that mentioning how I was transistioning in musical direction. Anyway, thanks for all of the condescensions and for some of...

I do write about situations that take place outside of my immediate life, but I feel they lack genuinity.
