Whew, MIDI! Let's see ... Okay, first, on your multi-timbral synth, just make sure it's in "MULTI" mode, not "POLY" or "OMNI". You would probably have to scroll through the windows on the LED readout on your keyboard to do this. If you can then go through each individual multi-timbral "part"...

I'm not familiar with what program or sound card you're using (I'm Mac, not PC), but it sounds like you may possibly have an automatic gain setting on somewhere in your computer. If you sound-digitizing software or whatever software is controlling your sound card has "hardware controls", try...

By the way, I was confused by the comment that you can't run printers, PDAs, scanners, etc. from USB. All the iMac HAS is USB connections, and I run my keboard/mouse, an external Zip drive, an old HP Desk Jet 600 (via a serial adapter), a USB CD burner and my MIDI ... all from USB. I'll agree...

I have an iMac 233 mHz running Opcode's OMS software and Vision DSP, and a MIDIMan MIDISport 2x2 USB-MIDI interface. Once the initial (and inevitable) phase of learning the software, and the struggle of dealing with companies who are still trying to figure out this USB jazz was over (took about...

If you're just into the concept of recording a performance, rather than trying to get the particular sound of a "real" piano, you may also wanna consider the possibility of buying a relatively inexpensive "piano keyboard" with weighted keys and a sustain pedal (or also purchase the full set of...

I recommend Vision DSP from the Opcode Web site (www.opcode.com). I personally liked it a lot better than Cakewalk, and it has about 10 times as many features ... and the learning curve wasn't quite as steep. I just don't think they've got as great of a PR department as Cakewalk does. If...

drstawl, on your advice, I nabbed my Pink Floyd THE WALL CD and used Toast Audio Extracter to pull "Hey You" off of it as an AIFF file. Imagine my surprise when I discovered the waveform was EXACTLY THE SAME as what I described my demo file being!!! You were absolutely right, and I guess I...

Well ... I appreciate that, and that answers a good deal of my question, but I think my question should have been more generalized. In general, are you "supposed" to boost the softer parts with the volume sliders to maximum to keep things hot all across the song? Or is it okay just to leave...

Okay ... here goes. I am just starting out in multi-track audio recording with the intention of cutting an album-length project out of my home. Thanks in no small part to this site, I have squashed a great many of the bugs in getting up and running, and am getting a great and fairly hot sound...
