I record to a Tascam 564 digital 4 track with different synths and use SM58's for the vocals. I've always thought the vocals sounded pretty clean, but am always interested in getting a more professional sound. I'm thinking of getting a good condenser mic (NT1, or whatever) but my board does...

I think I partially answered my own question. 1. I connected Cakewalk to the Korg, so I ran left and right out from the Korg to the Tascam and fed tracks 1 and 2. I midi thru to the Kurzweil for the piano track only. I ran the piano sound (the only Kurzweil patch I used) out from the Kurz to...

I record to a Tascam 564 digital 4 track using a Korg X5D, Kurzweil pc88mx, and Alesis SR16 drum machine. I realize it could just be my Yamaha monitors, but even listening on a good set of headphones, the recording of the synth tracks sounds dark and sometimes muddy. The vocal tracks I have...

RyanOD I'm glad Emeric knows more about it than I do. Like I said, I'm thinking of getting a compressor for my 564. (And, yes, I think it's a cool unit, too! But, then again, I can't seem to get Cakewalk to do what I want it to and have no way of recording audio to my computer - plus I think...

Yes you can. In the 564 manual it refers to a cable that allows you to do that. I think a stereo patch cable (TRS) will work, but I'm not sure. Then the dbx manual should have info regarding the hook up (it might be the side chain connection) I'm looking into getting a compressor for my...

My computer has no open slots or bays in which to put a soundcard. I've been having a problem with Cakewalk Pro 8.0 having notes delay when I'm recording. I contacted Cakewalk tech help and they said that my soundcard (the inboard card in my Compaq Presario 2200 which I connect thru the midi...

What do you mean by "open your software mixer"? Are you talking about the console view of Cakewalk, or what?? mutt

I didn't have much luck recording to Cakewalk pro 8.0, so I tried to sequence on my Yamaha sy77, connected to a Kurzweil pc88mx, midi thru to an Alesis sr26 drum machine. (I hope to use the Cakewalk mixing console to be better able to control the individual voice volumes, etc) To get the...

Thanks again for all of your help. I think I have enough info to give it a try. mutt

I see what you're saying - however, I just had a another thought that puzzles me. If I pan all of the miked channels to the left, feed them all through the effects 2 send, back into a single channel, then do I still have volume and eq controls for each individual channel? Or does the input...

I run Cakewalk Pro 8.0 into a Korg x5d synth and an Alesis S16 drum machine. Lately, when I start playback, I get this weird reverb, like a booming reverb/out-of-phase chorus sound on the drums. I looked into editing the midi effects, but nothing fixed it. It doesn't do it when recording...

Well, I was "sort of" on the right track, except for the right only out. So, instead of having two lines (a left and right) from the main outputs on the back of the board which goes first to the left and right side of our eq unit, and from there to the left and right input of the power amp, we...

Thanks again, I was following you really good until you mentioned "avoiding sending that channel to the mix - unassign it" If I route the signal from the effects send to the compressor and back into an empty channel (say channel #11), from there it goes out via the main outputs, right? So what...

Hi Tapehead Thanks for getting back to me so soon! I checked our board (it's a DOD 1222) There is no "insert" jack or auxilary send, but it does have a monitor send (which we are using, obviously), and an effects #1 send and an effects #2 send with two separate effects knobs for each channel...

Thanks, tapehead, for the info. I should have been more clear about the effects: we send them out via the effects send, which we do control channel by channel. Regarding the compressor, you said that most boards have an "insert"?? I don't think our board does?? Could it be called something...

I'm trying to get some info on two things: For our live performance rig, which is: 12 channel DOD board, routed through a Rocktron effects unit, signal sent to the Soundtech monitor amp on monitor outs, and signal sent to DOD eq unit before going to Crown power amp. We mic 4 vocals, 3...

Yes you can! You might want to get a synthesizer sound module. They start at around $300 new, but you could pick up a used one for around $150 - $200. A basic module would be the Alesis Nanosynth. Of course, the more sounds and effects you want, the more the module will cost. You will also...

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...

I've had a 564 for about 8 months now and I like it. I recently bought Cakewalk Professional 8.0 and I'm having so much trouble with it that I think I'll just stick to the Tascam. (Plus, I would have to drop another $300 bucks for a soundcard with a mic input to use the Cakewalk as my main...
