    What do you mix to most of the time?

    I use both a standalone and a computer burner, and I can tell you that I love the standalone way more. It's just like a DAT or cassette deck. I just burn off a variety of mixes on it (RWs and Rs) and just compile the final mixes onto the HD and do a DAO. Also, more personal CD players and boom...

    Burning a CD with the Tascam 788

    Did you change the routing to mixdown? That's one thing that's happened to me.

    Anyone got a Roland JV-1010?

    Yeah, it's a great little box. The sounds are great, and it's a lot easier to use than people say it is. But, then again, I've been using Roland gear since '87, so I'm familiar with their quirky interfaces. Still, it's a pretty cool module.

    digistudio 788

    See, the thing is, I think they didn't put them in because most people don't need them. I own one and don't need them. I have an FX box and CD recorder with dig i/o's, but no music making gear with 'em, so I don't have a need. But like you, some people do. It's not an all inclusive recorder...

    Korg Karma vs. Triton

    I'm just wondering what you guys think of the new Karma from Korg. It seems interesting to me, but is it worth "saving" 400 balls? No sampler, two less outputs...I don't know. If it does what it says it does, does it make any Triton owners crave one, or is it just another of the billions of...

    Multitimbre sound module for under $500..

    CJ, What I basically mean is, to treat your keyboard parts as you would treat the different instruments in a band. Record all the parts individually. If you're limited on tracks and/or use sequences, record primary instruments. For example: 1)kick and snare, 2)hat/cymbals and percussion...

    Yeah, the exact playlist info. It, of course ,saves the files.

    Behringer Mixers

    Anybody out here use Behringer mixers with any success? I've primarily used Mackies and love them, but I'm in a big time financial crunch right now, and need more channels (I have the MS1202 OV). I know you get what you paid for, but I am open to opinion. I'd get a Tascam DM1000(? think...

    Tascam 788

    I own the 788, and think it's incredible. The sound quality is great, and the effects are quite useable, but not in lexicon or dbx league. It's butt-easy to get around on. Editing is a breeze, recording and all is intuitive, and you get great, pro results. You can record to a stand-alone CDR...

    Multitimbre sound module for under $500..

    I am in total agreement with the JV1010 recommendation. I use one and get great results. I also use the Quadrasynth and the MBD1 module. If you play your parts right, study classical recordings, and mix right, they'll sound convincing enough. And regards to replicating the sound on CDs, it's...

    Need yr Opinion on Alesis product...

    I had one and thought/think that it's pretty good. I upgraded to an MPC2000 and still use Alesis drum sounds (I have a Quadrasynth and DM5 sounds). But, yeah, it'll work for what you need.

    I'll buy the Akai DPS12i! No, the Fostex VF16! No, the Tascam 788! No, er - help!

    Equipment does not perform well or not based on specs (alone). It all depends on whether or not it gets the job done. We as consumers have become too spec based. Try the gear out before you buy it, see if you're comfortable with it (or can BE comfortable with it), and see if it does what you...

    Should I cancel the NT1 order?

    I've owned an NT1 for a few months now, and it has made a huge difference in my recordings. And for $179 you can't beat it or complain about it. Maybe the NT1000 is better, maybe not (Event/Rode does make great mics, though).

    Boss Br-8 Digital recorder

    I'm going to throw my one humble opinion on this. I, too, was in the same boat, torn between a BR-8 and the VS-840EX. But then the Tascam 788 came out. Out the door went the other two. My purpose for the recorder is strictly vocals, with occassional live keys, bass, and/or guitar, used with...

    I'll buy the Akai DPS12i! No, the Fostex VF16! No, the Tascam 788! No, er - help!

    I have the 788, and have to say that it's a fabulous machine. You can record up to 6 tracks at once. If it's live you're looking for, this may not be the way to go, unless you submix. I'd go for the VF16 in that case, but for anything else, the 788 more than gets the job done.

    Both the Triton keyboard and rack have samplers. The max RAM on the keyboard is 64MB, the rack: 96MB.

    Effects Processors for a home studio (?)

    First off, everyone's right in that you do get what you pay for, but... Maybe it's the RFX300, I don't know (probably), 'cause I have the RFX2000 and I don't have enough good things to say about it. The reverbs are nice and clean (though not as rich as even the MPX100, which you should look...

    MD8, CD Burners and compression

    It is quite practical to mix to CD, and not expensive as everyone says it is. On average, I pay $1.20 per CD(with jewel case), but I have paid less for them ($40 for 50 on a spindle). Now, question how much you spend on a single cassette?
