Guitar-wise, I really don't. I mean a Chinese Fender sounds like a guitar, and an American Fender sounds like, well, a guitar. So guitar-wise, I never was able to figure out the reality behind all the controversy. I've got a nice Chinese Les Paul knockoff and it plays and sounds fine to...

Considering most of the stuff these days COMES from there, I doubt it'll be especially tough to find whatever you want there.

reboot, restart. works for me. Why the glitch? Dunno. I've had a few with mine (iPad2 running Korg Module). Sometimes it's Module and i can fish around in there and make it work again; sometimes it's the iPad and I gotta reboot. I just live with it. Happens rarely. Probably something to do...

I believe there's an old proverb like this: When a man with money meets a man with experience, in short time the man experience will have the money and the man with the money will then have experience. L.

Interesting title. Kinda contradictory. First there's "conversation with a sales rep" -- yes had many. Then there's "does this make sense?" -- often not. In my experience, this is nothing personal or problematic, this is just a more or less typical conversation with many similar reps. After...

I'm on the Nay side. Rainbow has been around for how many decades? It's not sold in stores that I've seen, it's sold door-to-door with pushy salesmen and rigged demos. I mean, let's face it, there's nothing revelatory about lint and dust in your carpet - or shouldn't be. And I don't even...

I went ahead and took the plunge and got the Korg Module. Running on an old iPad2. Sounds pretty good, but only a tiny bit disappointing. Disappointing only because it's not really a synth. It's just a soundfont player. So when switching patches, there's a slight delay while it loads the...

Interestingly, when you check out the Cubase forum (they have their own), you find adherents to each of the past versions, including C5. Often because they didn't believe the subsequent Cubase editions were useful, an improvement, or worth the cost. Other times because they were simply more...

LOL! Been there many times. Then I think about the $4,500 I paid for a module that today would get, maybe $200 and figure I'll strip it for parts and projects first. Or a $2,000 module. Or $1,100 module. With similar outcomes. Or even one I bought used for $200 but would still never clear...

Hmmm... can't tell if you have a complaint and are itching for a fight, or just don't read well. In that I can't clearly and specifically understand your position or difference, I'll tend to the latter over the former. I'll just say it's all good.

Embarrassing as it may be, I'm going to admit to the fact that I enjoy the USING of outboard gear as a justification, whether it sounds good or not. Maybe a VST sounds better. Maybe not. I dunno. The only ones I use exist because I can't duplicate them in hardware OR because the hardware...

Well, i can only hope that none of my comments sounded like they were pointed at you because they definitely were not. I just jumped in after a cursory skim of the content. So if it came across that way, I'm sorry. Passive-aggressive is not my style. Lazy oaf is more my style.

Amazing? What ELSE could have possibly happened? <LOL>

My gosh. Another foam discussion. Well, i don't have a Masters in Physics, but I gotta lotta Physics. Let's start with two immutable truths that stand beyond the opinion of anyone on the internet. 1. it is possible to design and build something that only a very few, if any, can "hear beyond...

Who's doubling what voltage? Not seeing it in the schematic, there. How does a fader "max out at half the distance"? There will always be voltage present, albeit small. I'm not keeping up so well.

INTERESTED? Oh.. duuuude.... yes. Please. I think long and deviant thoughts about stripping down an old mixer and making some sort of controller from parts of it.

On the good side, there's pretty much nothing to go wrong and these things are simple and robust. I've been sporting a MKB-700 in a chop project for 20 years, now. Still works great. On the bad side, yes, it's merely a MIDI controller with no sound, and it's designed to work 100% in a MIDI...

Music - it's big medicine.... I don't recall ever playing with a drummer that was 100% triggered. Even with a selection of pads and no drums, all of them had high-hats and most had cymbals. So what you ask is intriguing in that i've never seen even a drummer solve such a problem. But then...

It's my understanding that more than a few condensors require nothing like 48V to operate. Of course, buying the mic, they'll require phantom power, but that's standardized, so they're built for it. Besides, you're only really looking for a little bit of biasing voltage with nearly-trivial...

On the used shelf, you might find a Yamaha KX-88. Generally from 2-4hundred. STILL one of the finest actions available at any price. A little dumb - notta lotta different controllers -- just a keyboard, peds, and 4 faders. So it wouldn't keep up as the central node of a complex rig without a...
