    pod box

    Pod boxes: have i got this right? : they plug into the computer, you plug your guitar into the Pod, the pod acts like an amp allowing you to record guitar direct into the PC (cubase or something.) Is this how they work? If so, can you chain FX Pedals between the guitar and the POD like you would...

    mixing websites

Anyway, can anybody recommend some (free) websites that can explain mixing basics, psychoacoustics etc, how to mix instruemnts...

    evolution mk249c

    Anyone got any good/bad words to say about Evolution midi controllers, specifically the mk249c whichI'm thinking of getting, based on price range and features (esp. the 12 rotary controls which are useful for plugins) ? It's five octaves, which seems reasonable to me (I'm not a keyboard player...

    USb midi keyboards

    I'm thinking of getting a midi keyboard controller for use with Cubase on a Pc and noticed that some have USB ports as well as midi ports. What does this mean? Is the output from this basically the same as a midi out but maybe faster/slower/different in some other way? Since i have a USB port...

    Battery drum machine problem

    been trying out native-instrument's Battery in cubase 3.7, and I'm having a problem. If I load up a sample, generally a drum hit, the sound is shifted noticeably right in stereo space. The pan control in Battery is centerede, obviously the sample is mono, and the pan in cubase monitor for the...

    fruity loops sample formats?

    A lot of fruity loops sample formats are *.ds. Is this a FL only format, or is there some converter that will allow me to convert them into wav format directly? Cheers

    guitar as sitar?

    Anyone know if it's possible to tune/play a guitar to sound like a sitar? I don't mean full on Ravi Shankar type stuff but little bits, like the sitar sounds that crop up on Beck's Mellow Gold. Occasionally I've tried tuning my acoustic down so the strings are pretty slack, then sort of slap...

    moog plugin

    can anyone recommend a VST plugin that simulates a Moog to a decent quality? It appears as if the Steinberg E-Magic will but it's £100, and I can't stretch to that! While I'm on the subject, is there such a thing as a theremin plugin (or even theremin synth?). I have no idea how they'd make the...

    fruity loops and long samples

    Is there any way of using song-long samples in fruity loops easily. What I mean is, if I want to record a guitar track that lasts throughout the song without being looped, is this possible in fruity loops? Obviously I can record the track elsewhere, import the entire thing into fruity loops and...

    changing sample pitches

    Hi, I've got a question about changing the pitches of samples (ie wav files) when using progs such as fruityloops. I've noticed that the way that fruity loops, and the Vienna soundfont thingy I downloaded for free, change the pitch of samples is to reduce or increase the speed (and hence length)...

    build your own effects?

    I was thinking about trying to build my own guitar effects boxes, just to give me something to do? Is it worth it, and will they work, and so on? Where can I get circuit layouts on the net, and are they public domain? Cheers, Jim
