    HELP: cannot trigger sr-16 sounds

    Okay - let me see if I get what you're saying. How are you triggering the sr16 via Cakewalk? Are you entereing notes via step recording? How are you playing back what you recorded? back through the sr16 or as a midi file straight thru CW? I have used the sr16 with CW Pro 8. but I never...

    VF160 VS. Yamaha AW16G???

    Any thoughts on a comparison between the VF 160 and the Yamaha AW 16G? I'm thinking of buying one of these type of units and I'm not really sure of feature differences, easiest to use - learn, etc. For instance - the screen on the VF looks quite a bit smaller than the one on the YAM - (and my...

    Hey Lets all rip this new guy!

    Hey Cos I'm certainly not a pro - but here goes. Good tune. Great vocals, liked the harmonies, BUT, they were sorta buried by the elec guitars. Bass could have used some more punch. Does definitely need some mid boost. Liked the organ and piano, but you could have let the organ build up a...

    What choo talkin bout Willis?

    Hey KH Hmmmmmmmmmm - let's see. 1. Nice vocals, but a bit heavy on the reverb, unless that was the sound you were looking for. It doesn't sound like the vocal needed that much "help" or cover up to sound good. 2. The canned drums are really boring after a while. Throw in some different...

    A couple of tracks...

    Carlos Wow - you kinda covered all of the major ethnic musical sounds on that one! Cool guitar work, but the arpeggiated part in the first minute or so is too loud for the guitar solo. The mix seemed to get a bit "thick" at times, too much going on in the same register. I liked the...

    First Post

    Hey Shred Great tune! Loved the guitar work. I think that the bass line - although nice and clean and punchy - could use some variety. It was fairly cut and dry rhythmically. Maybe some syncopation towards the end as everything builds up. Good clean mix mutt

    Live mixing boards

    Any thoughts or preference between these two boards for mixing live performance??: CARVIN C1644 or the Behringer MX2442A. We need at least 16 mic inputs and I like some of the features on the CARVIN (although we don't need the built in effects). Any experience/thoughts on these two, or...

    interactive instructional software??

    My brother in law recently bought his wife a Roland electric piano (with midi in and out). He asked me if anyone makes interactive piano/keyboard instructional software that would teach you to play piano while the keyboard is midi'ed into the computer. I know that you can buy instructional...

    personal ear monitors

    This is a live performance question. Our band is looking into getting personal ear monitors (we're tired of lugging so much stuff around) but our lead singer heard from someone in another band that the PEM's don't always work and they've had trouble with them. (I don't know what make or model...

    M Audio Omni Studio??

    I'm looking into a good sound card with a break out box. So far, the M Audio Omni Studio looks like the right one for me, except, from reading the pdf manual I downloaded from the M Audio site, I don't see where the Omni has SPDIF I/O?? It comes with a Delta 66 card, which most catalogs list...

    will it fit???

    Presently I midi in tracks to my computer to Cakewalk Pro 8.3 (basically as a sequencer), then, after I have all my midi tracks mixed to the proper levels and set the pans, I send my midi tracks back thru the keyboard(s) to my Tascam 564 4 track as a 2 track mix, add my vocal(s) to the 4 track...

    playback problem with tascam 564

    Did you remember to switch the channels from Mic/Line to Disc?? (the switch right under the trim knob at the top of the channel) If you didn't you won't hear anything. mutt

    edit notes in staff view

    I made a piano track and set up staff view to do bass & treble to make a piano score (Cakewalk Pro 8.3). In the key of G, I played an E chord. The G#4 came out as Ab4. I right clicked on the note, but it would only let me change it to a G, and G# was not an option. In checking the helps, it...

    new mix

    Hey Tom That's some pretty good rock-a-billy!!! ONe of my favorite tunes, too. Good clear tone on lead vocals and great sound on the lead guitar. The bass sounded a bit muffled. Drums were good. I thought the background vocals could have been a bit more "on the mic" sounding, but maybe...

    New Song check it out

    Hey Dip (if I may call you that ) Catchy tune Couple of things: The vocals sounded buried - I would drop the volume on the accoustic gtr and drums a bit. Between the accoustic gtr and bass (and maybe even the keyboard) it sounded pretty muddy, especially on the bridge parts, which...

    blues in my soul

    hmmmmmmmmmmmmm Kinda like Bob Dylan meets Weird Al Yankovic. How much weed did you have to smoke to get that "I'm really stoned and I really don't care" effect, anyways? mutt

    My latest work

    good tune I think I would back the rhythm gtr back a bit and maybe change the tone of the rhythm gtr, or maybe do it acoustic - it seems to bump heads with the lead at times. good job mutt

    she screamed this time...

    Good work! I like the mix and the drive of the piece, but here's a few suggestions. I kept waiting for the vocal to sing. You could insert a brief singing vocal in the middle by adding a bridge, maybe a repition of the lyrics "He is truly the Messiah" - - the bridge should also offer some...
