    Naming and Saving a Motif Pattern

    Just got the Motif and put a 4 bar rhythm track together. I have a SmartCard. I've tried to save this pattern, but all I get is a new folder and it saves every sound in one of the banks into the new folder. Every time. How do I give this four bars a name and save it? I can't turn the Mo...

    Using headphones . . .

    I've got Mona hooked up and running fine (although I'm using the Cool Edit it came bundled with until I get my Cubase installed). I just recorded some rhythm tracks and want to record some acoustic guitar with it. The rhythm tracks play back fine, but I can't get the rhythm tracks into the...

    Headphones . . .?

    Want to use them for playing around at 3 AM, but also for a singer to use for recording. So, great sound, no bleed into the mic, but also really comfortable to wear. My other gear is high-end consumer stuff - AT 4033, Mona, Yamaha Motif etc. and I would like comparable quality/price. Any...

    Mixer recommendations - Mackie, Behringer, . . . what?

    I've got a Mona, an AT 4033 (plus SM 57 and 58), Hafler power and NS10 monitors (I know, some of you hate 'em!). Coming soon - Yamaha Motif 6. On Ebay I'm seeing Mackie 1202/1402 for $200 - $350. Mona has mic pre-amps plus phantom power. Any comments, recommendations re: how many...

    Coolest Pawn Shop story

    While going through the hock shops in Las Vegas in the late 80's, we ran into a nice '63 P-Bass. It had been played quite a lot, but it was all original, and priced significantly lower that what we could sell it for. The only problem was that one of the tuners was really bent - almost at a...

    Robert Johnson's Deal

    The movie 'Crossroads' depicts a fictionalized account (Hey, it's Hollywood!) of Mr. Johnson's alleged deal with the devil - and the search for the so-called 'missing' song. The word at the time was that Robert was a mediocre player who had gone away for a time and made a deal with the devil -...

    Calling 'Twist'

    Saw an Epiphone Genesis for sale in Bethesda Maryland. It was black, very good condition. $350. That was in a store, so yours (if in similar condition) is probably worth about $300 retail. foo

    Help with trial version of Acid 2.0

    So I downloaded it from the website, but can't get any sounds out of it. Going through the 'Media Explorer' doesn't help either - there are none of the sounds in my hard drive (that I can find) that are supposed to be there. So I chased my tail for a couple of hours going through the 'Help'...

    Will it never end????

    Now I have to make a choice in how to get sound from a keyboard/module/sampler into the computer. Is the most efficient way to go through a midi interface and into a USB port, or through the S/PDIF in/out on the soundcard, or through the 'optical' in/out on the soundcard? Is there a difference...

    Everybody hates their gear, or ...

    ... my budget is too low. If that's the case, how much do I have to spend to get really good sounds? I know that 'good' is very subjective, but I'm pretty picky about the 'realness' of the sound. Anyone? foo

    Recommend your keyboard?

    I am going to buy a sound module in the near future - do you like what you have? I'm looking for good pianos, basses and drums - in a module or with a good, weighted action keyboard. I don't need sequencers - I'm running Cubase in my PC (unless you know of a good use for sequencing in...

    HammerFall - comments?

    As a relative newbie in this area, please check out this link: http://www.rme-audio.com/english/index.htm Go to Digi 19652 and let me know what you think. This was recommended to me by a guy in a music store - is it too cynical to suggest that his profit margin may have been his primary...

    Soundcard reviews link?

    Someone posted a link to a site that reviewed several soundcards. Can you repost it (or help me identify how to use the search to find it, 'cos I've tried) I want to find HammerFell (sp?) by RME (?). It allegedly has the latency thing down to 3 milliseconds with Cubase. Thank you, thank you...

    Olsen Guitars

    Just reading about buying an acoustic in another topic, and someone mentioned Olsen guitars and that James Taylor plays one. I read an interview with him and they asked him why Olsen, and he said 'Because they have more songs in them' Which I thought was a pretty interesting point of view. foo
