I want to set it up so I can play wav files on my computer from a keyboard, each key triggering a different wav file. I have a trial edition of giga sampler, but can't figure out how to do it with that (hell, I can't seem to do anything with it!). I downloaded a trial version of mellosoft, but...

When did people start playing drums as a kit the way we know it today (ie. kick, snare, toms, hihat, cymbals)? Was there one drummer who came up with this format, or did it develop over time?

How does Seck compare to Soundcraft & Allen & Heath? Are the pres & eq's of the similar quality? I did a search here & didn't come up with much.

I see some cheap midi controllers for sale at MF (Midiman Keystation, Studiologic CMK161). Both claim to be powered via USB. Question is, can they be powered without the USB? I don't want to drag a computer to gigs. Any other opinions on these 2 midi controllers?

I see a lot of talk about aftertouch here, but I have yet to see an explanation of what it is. Can anyone enlighten me?

We're want to run some headphone & mic cable through the wall to a wall plate in the next room. What type of cable is best for the headphone signal (post headphone amp)?

This is a 2 part question complete with photos: We practice in a small FROG with vaulted ceilings (see photos) & are going to start tracking drums there. This room is basically symmetrical except for the staircase you can see on the left. All walls are parallell (although 2 are only 4'tall)...

I need 'Sampler 101'. What do I look for when buying a sampler? Pros & cons of hardware vs software? etc.. We are using Acid 4.0 for sequencing. Are there any that run as VSTi or DXi? Am I even asking the right questions?

I went to Radio Shack & asked for 75 ohm video cable. What they gave me was Gold Series shielded AudioVideo cable. I attempt to hook up my tc electronics m300 to my m-audio audiophile & it doesn't work. No signal seems to be getting to the m300 & the audiophile control panel tells me S/PDIF...

The Teacups. I recorded a demo for them recently. They have some great songs & were fun to work with. They switched instruments for each song too. Here's one-'Date With A Pizza'. How's my mix? http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2681&alid=-1

what is the difference between the mpx-100 and the mpx-110?

I recently recorded a demo for these guys. The first band other than mine that I have recorded & the first time I got to use my new mics (beta 52, ECM8000's, & mxl603's). http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2649&alid=-1

I just want a basic connector that switches polarity. I see Shure has one that is switchable for $52, but that's more than I want to spend & I dont need the switchability. I guess I can always make my own, but if someone makes a cheap one, why bother. I need it for connecting to our PA...

Normally when I look at a wave file, it is more or less symmetrical above & below the center line. I recorded a bass track the other day that has all of the action above the center line & not much going on below. I can't tell how it effected the actual sound of the track (I wasn't crazy about...

I was going to post the following question: Can I take a prerecorded track out to my mixer then run it to a guitar amp to be miced & re-recorded? But then I realized this brought up many more questions for me. Anyways, I think what I want to understand is this: How do +4 and -10, high & low...

I am recording a band Sunday whose drum kit has just the hihat & one crash for cymbals, 2 toms, kick & snare. I figure I've got the cymbals covered with a mxl603, the snare w/ a 57, beta 52 on the kick. Question is: how to mic the toms? 1 sp b3 2 sm57's 1 mxl603 I'm leaning towards the b3 as...

Does anyone have these on sale? $279 is the best I can find.

Anyone done this? Is it best to record inside the thing or in front of it? Should I use a ld condensor, a sd condensor, or a dynamic? I have mxl603's, a sp b3, a sm57, and a mxl v67, but I have a beta 52 on the way. Any suggestions?

A friend of mine is about to throw down 300 bucks on a Casio. While I have no keyboard experience whatsoever, I'm thinking there's got to be something better than Casio in this price range. It is to be used primarily as a midi controller for soft synths & a drum machine, but it would be nice...

I am looking at options for a new 24/96 front end with at least 8 balanced analog in/outs. What are the differences/advantages/disadvantages of going with a firewire system as opposed to a PCI based system (aside from the obvious laptop advantage-I have a desktop)? Aside from Echo, M-audio...
