Yes if you don’t mind? Neal.palmer@mac.com i can look on a new pc. You never know what’s useful until you look :)

Thanks dogooder. I’m a complete novice so anything to help me with my studio journey especially on a 35 year mac on cubase 1.0 lite lol ?

Thanks buddy ;)

Thanks guys! I agree rob, i knew the reality of trying to get a 35 year old computer to work as a midi studio would in itself be a challenge. For me I always wanted to try my hand at making dance tracks but life got in the way so after fixing up the old computer in lockdown i thought now what...

i’ve always wanted to try my hand at making tracks but life always got in the way and with covid lockdowns I managed to get my old computers working and i had a midi box i got with some ebay bits i got in a job lot whilst repairing it so it seemed the perfect use for it. Otherwise what else can...

Thanks for the kind confident words. I hope i can achieve half as good a track. Rob has been helpful as been having problems getting it all to work properly but each attempt i get one stage closer. I perhaps bit off more than i can chew trying to do it all on sure old gear but i’ve been...

Thing is nice equipment can make things easier but you still need a fine ear and sound talent. It’s the same with photography. If you have the eye for composition you can take an amazing picture with a phone or cheap camera. giving say my wife my dslr camera wouldn’t improve the picture and...

Lol always something to purchase :) sounds like a nice one, i just googled it, wow nice ? i’m a novice on midi hence joining here for some advice on setting up some vintage gear i would like to experiment on. Computers i’m good with, midi is new to me.

You can even get portable wireless ones but really 2-6tb one from either brand would be fine. Really easy to setup i had for for my old Mac mini but my son knocked a glass of juice over it and killed it. It wasn’t an issues as it came with cloud backup of the backup. Mind was western digital but...

Western digital or synology most common for the home market

These days there are lots, you can of course pay a fortune for a multiple drive bay and ssd etc but a good one for home use $120-250 would do just fine.

Yes just google Cloud NAS drive. From around $120

Setup a nas (network attached storage) drive on your network so you can use it as a personal cloud/ftp server. Easy to setup these days. Plug to your router, run setup cd and setup your login password. Save your daws on to it and access it from anywhere in the world. Something like...

You could use room eq software and a microphone to identify how bad it is? That said i have just put a set of speakers i know in the room and listen to see if they sound terrible compared to what i’m used too. The thing with acoustic is there’s so many variables: room shape, speaker position...

Interesting reading, i too was thinking i would need to master to DAT once I actually make anything worthwhile. Maybe a little different for my vintage configuration but you make complete sense It would be pointless as it’s digital anyway and editable directly in Daw. A lot to learn. Neal

Thanks Raymond, i’m hoping so :)

Well i’ve very new and haven’t even got my setup to work yet hence joining here for some midi setup advice. I’m attempting to do it with a 1980s macintosh, roland module and samples ? so unlikely to manage your excellent level anytime soon or ever with my setup but i will try :) i’m really...

Hi Rob, thanks again. I have the oms midi driver installed and i have configured the modem & printer serial pass through so it does recognize midi at 1mhz in the output but doesn’t seem to accept the input, maybe i should manually put it at the same 1mhz and give it a try. Oh and switched...

I like it, i ready want to be able to do similar but a complete novice. what software did you use? Neal

I wasn’t sure if I should have wired the controller straight to the roland, then output that to the input of the midimac but by the sound of it i’ve wired it correctly just need to look at cubase
