My keyboard player just bought a microKorg. He is currently using a 76 key Roland ep 7 II and an 88 Key Yamaha DGX-500. Both the Roland and the Yamaha have MIDI outputs. The microkorg apparently doesn't allow more than 4 keys being played simultaneously. Can he use either the Roland or the...

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=1109032 Been meaning to post something for a while but we're breaking in a new drummer. Recorded live in my basement Tuesday. I didn't do very much to the mix. Noise gate and EQ on all the drums. Compression and a touch of reverb on the master...

I've been using the stock noise gate that came with pro tools. Sometimes it works fine, but other times it makes a clicking noise as the gate re-engages. I have not noticed a correlation between track levels and when this happens. So I try the gate and when it works, I keep it on, when it clicks...

I have a digi 002, using 8 channels of ADAT, also have RNP hooked up to analog 5 and 6. I would like 2 more channels with preamps so I can use 16 mics. Ultimately I might even need 4 more PREs. I haven't heard much about preamps with SPDIF outputs. Most of the pres people seem to be...

Just added a new internal hard drive. 2 TB SATA hard drive. I installed it and formatted the drive but I think I need to adjust some settings. Not sure which ones though. Pro Tools will save files on the new hard drive and it will play them back too. But it won't record onto the new hard drive...

OK so my jam room/recording room is in the basement of my townhouse. It's roughly 21 feet by 15 feet, 8 foot ceilings. I say roughly because the room is not a perfect rectangle and there is a staircase and another short hallway that leads to the garage. My question is this: Will a few bass...

In my quest for mixing advice, I am finding anecdotal pieces that are helpful but really I would like to know what is your process from start to finish? Reason being, there must be a more efficient way than simply trial and error. I'll start with what I generally do and please share what you...

Seriously. So a few Months ago my Mesa Boogie DC-5 wouldn't turn on. So naturally I replace the fuse, still no dice. So I replace all the tubes, it was about that time anyway. Still doesn't work. So I drop off the amp at my local authorized electronics store and they tell me it will be a Month...

I'm very sad. This amp is my boo. I've had it for 10 years and it's been like a rock. I've taken good care of it. As of last week it simply won't turn on. I replaced all the tubes and the fuse looks fine. Just thought I would throw this out there to see if any of the folks here have advice as...

I got an RNP 3 weeks ago and it is definitely an improvement over the pres in my 002. I've used it with a Nuemann KM-183, SM57, and an Audio Technica 4040. I used the Neumann and SM57 on guitar tracks and the 4040 for vocals. Anyway, the sound seems a little more clear. More desirable. I didn't...

I'm glad there is now a pro tools forum here. Excellent. And thanks to all the guys/gals who are more experienced for sharing all your advice. I read a lot but don't post much (except fart jokes in the cave) because I'm a dumb musician with the computer savvy of an 80 year old elephant...

This is the first complete recording I've made with pro tools the my basement of my townhouse. We recorded the drums, bass, guitar, and vocals at my place and then I emailed it to a friend in New Orleans and he put some piano/keyboard tracks on there. The song is called "Operation Failure."...

I'm curious because I didn't know VOX made pedal boards. This thing might go nicely with my Mesa. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ToneLabSE/

I recently bought Pro Tools with a Digi 002. I use it with my old ADAT and mackie 1604 VLZ to record my classic rock band live. I use the ADAT/MACKIE for my drum tracks (8) and the 002 for guitar, bass, and a vocal track. I would like to add a 2 channel preamp and a vocal mic for a baritone...

I've heard how great these microphones are and now I don't know if I'm hearing good things about the fake ones or the real deal. The Drum guy at Guitar center said he just got a pair and loves his but if he got it from GC chances are they are fake. http://debris.com/journal/1274 Anyway, if...

When I'm loading Pro Tools my computer gets stuck on "creating DAE objects" about two thirds of the time so I am forced to shut down the computer and reboot. Anyone know what is causing this? Also, I have a separate problem. Often when I am recording, it abruptly stops and says "try increasing...

I am a newbie so go easy on me. I have a townhouse and I record in my basement. My basement is one 14x15 room and a bathroom. The bathroom is the typical size with a toilet facing a large mirror. I like to record my band live and I'm thinking about having my singer stand in the bathroom for...

I was looking at Pro Tools until I realized their product is a complete scam/money pit. They will tell you that you have 18 I/O but they will not tell you that for $3 grand you don't even have enough inputs to properly record a drum set. I want to be able to record live bands as well as...
