    safe to use a null modem cable on MOTU?

    I've a 25' M/F null modem parallel port cable on order to be used for transferring data from my old PC (used for its Cakewalk sequencer) to a new PC for backing up my music files on CDR. Would it be safe to use this same cable to extend the distance my MOTU (parallel port) Timepiece AV can...

    KORG X and N users

    I've an 88 key Korg N1 used as a master controller. There's no floppy drive on it. Perhaps you just mean X owners?

    migration from Win 95 and Cakewalk Pro Audio 4.00

    Hi All, I have an old Gateway P-120 with a MOTU Midi Timepiece AV (8 in, 8 out) running Windows 95 and Cakewalk Pro Audio 4.00. I'm not even sure what Cakewalk is now called -- Sonar perhaps? Do they have a program that will be able to support my old .wrk sequences? I suppose they would need...

    Copywriting material.

    good deal $30 US. http://www.copyright.gov You'll want to use the form SR section. You can copyright both the "underlying" musical work and the sound recording that way. They accept international submissions as well. :) Oh, as of late (post 9/11), they appear to be using some sort of...

    4 string guitar - what is it?

    I like the look of the "Jet" How much? Did you have to e-mail him to get a quote? I would do so myself, but it's probably beyond my budget.

    Condenser mics and wooshing noise

    eratic noise, something lik "whooshing" I had this happen on a CAD GXL 2400. Told the guy I bought it from on ebay and he mailed me a new one for no replacement fee. I don't know what caused the problem.

    I got no treble - should I record through EQ?

    It is adding noise. But doing the same boost *after* recording also boosts the noise of the recorded medium. Granted this is probably a way bigger problem when using an analog rather than a digital medium, but it's still there. Hope that clears it up.

    what do they mean by "warm"

    Thanks, I think that's the answer I was looking for. Good analogy, too.

    I got no treble - should I record through EQ?

    That's not true. Adding high-end to a recorded signal will also increase the noise of the source signal, be it digital or analog. EQ'ing before going to tape/hard disk is preferable in my opinion as you won't be enhancing the noise of the recording medium. Also, I, for one, actually CRANK the...

    what do they mean by "warm"

    Maybe I'm asking for it here -- which is in fact why I'm putting this in the newbie section -- but what does "warm" in relation to audio mean? For me, it's always been a relative term referring to temperature, not audio, until recently. As you likely know, it's often used in reference to...

    "That Mic was On?!"...Major Label Mistakes

    I think that's done on purpose. It's kind of like calling all of the sound effects in Pink Floyd's records "mistakes".

    Expression pedal (combo organ) recommendations?

    expression pedal I have a Roland VK-7 (B3 emulator) myself and am curious: what does an expression pedal actually do to the sound? I might get one myself if it's worth it.

    Anyone else find Roland modules noisy?

    yes I have: a Roland D-20 - quite noisey a Roland MV-30 - noisey a Roland M-SE1 - noisey a Roland VK-7 - somewhat noisey these are older (circa late 80s) units, however; my TD-5 -- which I suspect is newer -- doesn't give me much in the way of a poor signal-to-noise ratio

    desperately need help with my Fostex VM200

    I recently bought a used Fostex VM200 digital mixer. Whenever the power's on, it flashes: "WARNING! WRONG WORD-IN Clock! Check System Clock Selection" This happens when the Word-In switch is set to either "on" or "off". The machine lets me change the clock selection but when I press "enter"...

    multiple note strumming

    Okay, I'm kind of embarrased to even ask this but: How is it that a guitar player can seemingly strum all the strings? I mean, wouldn't that invariably produce bum notes that can't be properly fretted seeing as there's six strings but only four fingers available? Surely players aren't only...

    A free review haven!

    If I were to post my material, do I have the option to prevent it from being downloaded? I only want to allow people to listen to my songs via streaming, not downloading.

    dobro guitars

    Newbie question here: what makes a guitar a dobro guitar? Is what The Edge plays at the start of `Running to Stand Still' (from "The Joshua Tree" album) a dobro guitar? (I'm refering to the sliding guitar part). Daryle

    seeking sample piano library recommendations

    I have an EMU ESI-32 v3.02 w/ 32 MB RAM and have on order through Sweetwater an Akai MPC 4000 sampler and have 512 MB RAM ready to install in it once it arrives. Can anyone recommend good piano libraries for use with either of these two units? The EMU can import Akai S1000 and S1100 libraries...
