Re: Po peoples workstation I checked it out.......looks good. Killer price!! How long have you been using Yamaha and do you have any samples of your recordings?

I guess you can tell how much of a newbie I am:rolleyes: Are you saying that I can do instruments like strings and drums without sampling? Or with the samples that come with it I can change them into anything I want? I really appreciate your patience!!

I looked at the Korg ms2000..............man, all dem buttons!:eek: Since the ms2000 is not expandable, are you thinking I would still have a use for it even after I get my Fantom? Do you think it is better to have a seperate keyboard and buy the ms2000R or all together in the ms2000?

subtractor - I really appreciate the input, but your k2500 alone is more than I budgeted for my initial setup :eek: I've been told by a few people that building a good home studio is like smoking crack......the more you get the more you want! I just need a decent keyboard with good effects and...

subtractor - forgive my ignorance, but are you using a midi controller with the proteus? What kind of keyboard do you use or do you use soft synth?

Okay Folks - It's reality time :( I have been getting fantastic input from many people on the posts that I posted in the past and has actually formulated a plan for my homerecording setup. Since then, I have had events cause me to pair back my budget. I don't want to mess with the software or...

shaun - dafduc is right, even though you have access to monitors, what if when you get there your recording sounds like shit? Before I'd go without, i'd recommend the Roland MA-8s. They aren't the best in the world, but for $100.00 on ebay you still will have a better idea of how your music...

brzilian - I agree, I like the XV-88 better. The Fantom does have a warmer sound, but you can't beat the overall sound and touch of the weighted keys, they really bring strings to life. I looked at the Motifs once before, but I didn't think they suited my style of music. The motifs sound like...

Cool! brzilian since you are a Roland owner, if you had a choice between the XV-88 and the Fantom which would you choose? I think they both put out major quality, but the difference in price is about $600.

Re: Re: Midi Controller vs. Keyboard w/ midi vs. Synths brzilian - take a look at this link and tell me if I am understanding wrong about the RS5 taking expansion boards http://www.musiciansbuy.com/roland_rs-5_rs-9_synthesizers.htm As for the A-37, are you saying that I would play the...

mgraffeo - That helps......thank you! Which do you think will serve the needs I stated earlier best? The keyboard w/midi I/O or the workstation keyboard? Even though I'm sure the workstations are much more expensive,right?

Damn! Can I be more confused!! Will someone Please explain the differences in a Midi Keyboard Controller, a Keyboard with Midi IO, and a Synth. I have read the descriptions of many and have no clue as to which does what!! All I need is a keyboard(?) that I can plug into my setup that can...

Re: Re: …just bought a new PC, how did I do? I agree with brzilian, you should pass for now. With the upgrades you are talking about it would be better to have one built for you. Depending on where you go and what you absolutely have to have, you can get a decent system with the following for...

dzim - Thanks for the heads up on Bayview Pro Audio, they have decent prices and I like the packages. I think I have decided where I'm going to start and yes I know I've said it before! Check out this setup: Aardvark Q10 Sonar 2.0 or 2.1 db audioware (1) Shure SM58 mic (1) Shure SM57 mic (2)...

Welcome to the party!! 1. Is that your entire set-up?(excluding mics) Any external pieces? 2. Do you use a keyboard or midi sequencer? 3. Are you using XP Home or XP Pro? 4. Does the software in the Q10 give you all of the mixing and editing you need? 5. Does the Q10 have a breakout box? I...

Don't leave me hanging...........what is this USB 2, and where can I see it? I am a Newbie, I wasn't trying to be stupid ;)

Zek - I like your setup, it is the first mostly digital/software system I've seen. Do you think the mastering software is as good as say a Joe Meek VCQ? Do you have any samples of your work?What OS are you running? Layth - SkyDaddy's stuff is cool! I really like the vocals. I checked out the...

Jazzmaster- The USB Studio D I was referring to is a unit that connects to the computer by USB and doesn't require an additional soundcard. It has pre amps, xlr connections, A/D, the whole shooting match. Are you saying you still think it would be better to use a soundcard like the Delta 1010...

Richie - Thanks for the head's up. Let me access the damage from XMAS (damn kids!) and I'll let you know.

I don't know that I'm completely qualified to give advice, but I will say that you obviously have a lot of talent. I can hear how deep your thoughts are........we haven't heard your best for sure!! I wanted to add to a few of the comments, I agree with Abyyss that the vocals should be a little...
