I recently began having a problem when recording to Professional 8.0. I'm connected to a Korg x5D as my sole synth being used. During recording, sometimes when I play a note the sound is delayed and sounds later than it should, or it sounds clipped. I think I remember reading somewhere that I...

Is there a way to connect my TASCAM 564 digital 4 track via the SP/DIF output (through some type of adaptor) to my computer through my midi cables which are connected to my soundcard (the standard 5-pin in & out midi cables connected via the game/joystick port sound card. I know I can buy...

I have a notation problem that just recently developed. WHen I go to staff view and record a track, the notes show on the staff as I'm recording just as expected. But recently, when I stop recording, all of the notes on the staff double. (ie. if the first note was a quarter note "g", there are...

I just bought Pro 8.0 and I think I'm going to like it except for some concerns: 1. Does this come with an owner's manual(?) or do you have to use the "helps" to find everything (which, BTW, I COULDN'T find everything) All that was in the box was the CD, a couple of registration forms and a 3...

Our band has a 50' audio snake with 12 xlr inputs and 4- 1/4" plug ins. All of the catalogs I see list 12 (or 8, or 16) inputs, which I assume are the xlr's, and 4 sends or outs. Are these 1/4" jacks for speaker cable connections (to mains or monitors) or are they for instrument cable type...

Thanks for the advice. (BTW- Susanville is in north easter Calif about half way between Redding, Ca. and Reno, Nv.) Where the heck is Yorba Linda?? (If it's south of Portola I don't know where it is)

Thanks for the info on the SPDIF cable. Now for part two: Does anyone know if the TASCAM CDR Deluxe CD Burner or the Philips CDR770 or CDR765 CD recorders have a SPDIF input? Has anyone tried either of these machines, or would you recommend something else to burn CD's from the TASCAM...

Couple of questions regarding SPDIF connection: 1. My TASCAM 564 digital portastudio has a SPDIF out which the manual says can send the data from channels 1 and 2. It looks like a regular 1/8" RCA plug. IS it? If not, where do I find an SPDIF cable? 2. I'm thinking of buying the TASCAM...

I currently sequence to a Yamaha sy77 synth's on-board sequencer using sounds from the Yamaha, a Kurzweil PC88MX, a Korg X5D, and an Alesis SR 16 drum machine. To send the sequence sounds to my Tascam 564 digital protastudio, I have to connect a regular 1/4" phone jack from each synth's mono...

I currently record my sequences from a Yamaha sy77 and two other synths and vocals to a Tascam 564 digital portastudio. I'm getting the Cakewalk Pro 8.0 program to do sequencing, but I think that it will also record vocals or instrument tracks (is that right)? I currently connect to my...

I'm awaiting delivery of my Cakewalk Pro 8.0 and I understand that you are able to record vocals and other instruments as well as midi. I've never used a computer to sequence or record, so I'm REALLY STUPID in these matters. My question is, how do you connect a mic or guitar to record to...

Thanks for all of the advice. One more question - would it work to connect the midi in & out cables from the soundcard to my main synth, then come out of the thru on the main synth to a midi thru box to the other synths? Would that work and not give me any delay?

I've been using my Yamaha sy77 synth on board sequencer to sequence voices from the Yamaha, a Kurzweil PC88MX, Korg X5D and Alesis SR16 drum machine (though not usually all at once on every song) I've been doing this so far with a daisy chain type midi connection. I have two things that I want...

I'm thinking a buying a DR5 as a recording tool but also to use live as a backup band. It does drums,bass, and other voices (4 tracks) but only holds 20 songs - not much if you're doing 3 to 4 hours worth of music. Does Roland (or anyone else) make a similar machine that can do 4 tracks of...

This is primarily to Dragon: I read your tips about mixing down to a cassette. I record on a Tascam 564 digital 4 track. Would it be better to mix down to 2 tracks on the Tascam? I guess I'm just not seeing what the difference would be. Apart from mixing to the Tascam, would I hear a lot...

I'm thinking of getting the Cakewalk Home Studio 9 (I have been sequencing using an old Yamaha SY77 as the master seq., Kurzweil PC88MX, and Alesis SR16). My question is, can you hook up to Cakewalk via a daisy chain type set up in order to use all of the synths at once, or is their a better...

I'm trying to get my SR16 to work with the sequencer in my Yamaha sy77. When I hook it up to use channel 16 to make drum patterns, it won't record what I'm playing on the sr16, but just plays whatever pattern is currently called up. I was wondering if the sy77 can tell the sr16 what pattern to...

I WOULD!! Where did you buy it from? I bought a used one from Used Gear by Mail (Daddy's junky music) and have had no problems. By the way - did you get a manual, cause I'm missing a few pages from the copy they sent and they don't have the original to make me another copy. Gary...

I recently bought a used 564 and received a photo copy of the manual missing a few pages. Does anyone have a manual that they could scan four pages from and email to me?
