I just want a full 88 key keyboard to learn to play piano/keys on (well you can't learn piano on a keyboard, but you know what i mean). I don't need a bunch of sequencing stuff or effects, just really good action. I would use it for a midi controller as well, so i'd just buy a bunch of soft...

Can anyone recomend a good brand of Classical guitars, also some Brands to avoid? I'm in Canada, by the way. I was talking to a girl at my local Long and Mcquade store and she said that they might be getting in a really nice used classical guitar that sounded awesome, and it was going to go...

What would be a good 88 key midi controller with weighted keys? I'd like it to feel like a piano so i could learn to play keys on it. I would be using it as a midi controller and just use synth programs, so i wouldn't need it to have built in sounds, just nice action. I've heard about that...

Right now i have a small roland pc70 midi control which i borrowed from a friend, plugged into the joystick port of a SB live. The latency is horrible when trying to record into logic audio using pro 52, and only a little better when using the build in synths in logic. Is this becuase the SB...

Is it just me or does that part of fool in the rain, by led zeppelin, have the best guitar sound ever? I get super happy whenever i hear it, and it makes me feel like spending all of my money on recording gear. Led Zeppelin - Fool in the rain At about 3:52 seconds it comes in for a solo...

i mean what the hell? My friend got a delta 66 a while ago, i went over to install it, and the drivers are so terrible the we can't even install them! The stupid drivers don't even have an installer! There is NO installer, no autorun on the cd, no nothing. So you have to go into the windows...

Which do you think is best, and why? We need a good raging debate thread. I haven't seen a windows vs mac or intel vs amd thread lately, so i'm hoping this will fill in a bit of a gap. Mackie HR824 Blue Sky System one 2.1

What do you use to control the volume of your Active studio monitors? If none of the above options, what do you do?

How does a pair of Marshal MXL 603s sound for using on drum overheads, instruments, and female vocals sometimes. My sm58 for odd jobs, maybe snare or whatever, and a nice LD condensor for primary vocals, room mic, and other stuff? I was thinking AT 4040, SP C1, Baby blue bottle, etc.. Would...

To start out i was thinking it would be a good idea to just get one great preamps and compressor, and add to it in the future. For a neutral, multipurpose setup i was thinking this. I'd get an RNP, and an RNC. it would go into a delta 44 though so i'd be limited to 4 inputs. But down the...

I'm trying to put together a list of things i must have for a home studio. I'm trying to find the best in my price range and buy one a few pieces of good gear, and not waste money on poor quality things. I had a listen to the tracks at the listening sessions, and from what i heard i wasn't a...

Alright here's the drill guys, LEGS! Ok i'm having this internal debate between getting a passive set of Yorkville monitors and an integrated amp with a volume control, such as the Rotel RA-02, or getting the powered version, and something to control the volume with such as a mackie 1202...

Hey i need to figure out how to use the midi instruments in logic for a track i'm doing. I want to use one of the instruments that is down the left in that list in the arrange window. They have grand piano, fingered bass, etc.. all those different built in instruments. Now i can get it so my...

I want to buy some good/decent gear and get it right the first time. From my budget i've prioritized the importance of different pieces of the signal chain, and different things i need, and i've come up with this so far. Anything you'd remove from there, or replace? This is a starting point...

What would you classify this mic as? Warm? Harsh? cold? Any descriptive words? I'm trying to figure out if it would be the LD condensor for me, or my voice. It would mainly be for my friend and I. But i mainly record instruments, so it would have to be used for that as well. I'm...

I've heard that you can make really good cables with a good roll of cable and some good connectors (neutrix). Is it really a lot cheaper to buy a roll of cable and a bunch of connectors and solder them yourself? I made some speakers cables before using 16 gauge wire and a coulpe of mono 1/8'...

I've pondered the Hi Fi route with the likes of a Rotel RA-02. http://www.rotel.com/products/specs/ra02.htm And the only, well i guess you'd call it pro audio, route i've looked at is something like the Hafler TA1600. AAH i just checked Hafler's website, www.8thstreetmusic.com is LIEING IN...

For a home setup i've come to the conclusion that a mixer might not be best for me. I don't need six so so channels of mackie or soundcraft preamps. I just need a couple really good preamps, or maybe a few different types of preamps so i can match the right preamp for the right job. I don't...

I have an 8bit, 11,025hz wave file and i need to turn it into a 16bit, 44.100hz file! In sound forge i can turn it from 8 bit into 16 bit, but logic audio can't play it at 11.025 it sounds like someone skratching their nails on a chalk board. Please help!

I can never get that nice rumble nice feeling from bass. That has that nice sort of vibrating sound. Sometimes you hear it in hip hop, or with a double bass if you have a subwoofer turned up a bit. How would i get that? No matter how much i boost of anything on the waves q10 paragraphic eq...
