If I weren't recording my keyboards directly into my multitrack recorder the handclap would be the way I do it. But unless I put up a room mic there won't be any sound from the clap on the audio recording to sync to. It is looking like I have to devote a track for just that and if I'm gonna do...

I bought super cheap-o action cameras. I think I paid $50 each for four of them. I have been trying to 3D print some open cages for them because they're proprietary and only the housing that came with them will fit. Alternatively I could go real caveman and just tape them to mic stands or...

All of those ideas would be fine if the action cameras I am using weren't so terrible audio wise. I don't mean bad quality I mean hardly audible. I haven't looked at the waveforms for the cameras yet, but after playing them back I doubt they will be very legible. I would need a significant hit...

For single camera videos it will just be on a static tripod with my hands in the shot yes. Otherwise I might use up to three cameras on tripods and at least one of them will have my hands in the shot. Yes the sound will be audible in the room BUT (but but but) the cameras that I plan to use do...

I plan on doing a lot of video with keyboards recorded direct to a multitrack. Without adding a microphone to my rig, how can I sync the audio with the video? I've considered playing a "clap" sound with one of my keyboards to get a nice spike but then there are no visual cues to help align the...

I think I will cross my fingers and give this a shot. It will have to wait a bit to try out because....reasons.

I followed only about half of what you are saying but it sounds like I can use any mono to stereo cable in reverse with safety and effectiveness. I have such cables on hand already if that is the case. (Is OP Z the teenage engineering sequencer synth? That's all I get from a google search on it.)

Hmmm, well full disclosure the sound source will be the left and right outputs (combined by headphones jack) from a keyboard. Not, as you are probably imagining a cell phone.

Those are similar instructions to what I have found online so far, but I don't see how this deals with the phase cancelation issues. Can you explain it to me?

I will try to nutshell this as best as I can. I have a stereo output that I need to send into a mono input. I am looking to sum the stereo channels into the mono device without losing anything to phase cancelation and without damaging the output of the stereo device. I have come across DIY...

It is my understanding that the only real differences between these boards is the lack of aftertouch and sequencer on the X50. Is that the ONLY differences other than cosmetic? Carl

Hello, I've got an Edirol UM-880 connected to my PC via the USB connection. When I try to sequence multiple MIDI sources simultaneously in realtime the events record just fine, but playback goes out to all instruments. That is to say that all MIDI events are sent to ALL the synths and modules...

I need a shallow unit or it won't fit in my rack. The Alesis MV4 has the dimensions that I need, but does it also have the balls? To be honest, I'm using this for my live rig and not for recording, so it dosen't have to be that spectacular. However, I don't want metalic sounding reverbs that...

The F above middle C on my RD100 is much louder than it should be. Is this a simple repair or should I get it to a service center? Anyone know what causes this? Thanks, Carl

Particularly Herk Favilla guitars. I know that there was a relationship between the Favillas and the D'aquistos (RIP Jimmy). Other than a few scraps that I could cull from a google search, there really isn't a whole lot of information. Are these good guitars? Do they sound and play well? Are...

I need to bore out some quarter inch holes in a Raxxess plate designed for installing quarter inch phono jacks. I'm going to be putting in six MIDI 5 pin DIN sockets into this and the DINS are about 1/2" in diameter. Since I need to add another quarter inch to the exiting hole, what should I...

Seems like the asking price for some compenants are all over the map. I've found some MIDI sockets (5 pin chassis mount DIN) online for as low as $0.69 and as high as $6. Likewise for the quarter inch phono jacks. Thing is that the less expensive online sources require a $25 minimum order...

Anyone know the standard knockout hole for a MIDI socket? Middle Atlantic makes a module rack panel with an assortment of precut holes. Problem is that none of them explicitly call themselves MIDI or even DIN openings. I'm sure that one of them is appropriate but I don't know which. Here's...

I figure this would be the best forum to get an answer to this, even though I need it for a stage rig. Does anyone make a passive MIDI patchbay? Something probably designed to mount into the wall of a studio space and come out the other side? Barring that, anyone make an active MIDI router...

I'm trying to find a cheapie cheap patchbay for my SKB rack case. I need 1/4" inputs on the front and the back. 1U for sure. Normalized or not. Any recommendations? Carl
