    My new band/project, live tune!

    Well, there wasn't much of a show to it. Just 4 guys on stage playing this. No interaction with the audience since they were all gathered at the other end of the venue... This is not about technique and knowledge. The only knowledge in this is that we have an idea of how to relate what we want...

    laptop vs. desktop

    I use it for recording, and as a sequencer/looper running ableton. No probs with latency... It's not only USB, you can go PCMCIA or firewire too, with some really good specifications there... A friend is running the Hammerfall on his laptop, and he's got latency down to 6ms if I got that right.

    laptop vs. desktop

    Triple monitors... well, I can do dual on my laptop, which is already enough. When moving around, you only use one. A triple monitor setup is more something for a fixed setup, in which I would go desktop too. But only when I'm sure never to move it... My laptop has an onboard soundcard, and you...

    behringer sucks?

    Behringer does suck. I have a mixer that's broken. I worked alot of their bigger mixers and they all had minor faults. I tried mixing (live) with the virtualizer stuff, and it's hell. The interface is just not workable in livesituations, and the sound is even worse. The first gig I did with it...

    laptop vs. desktop

    Re: Both Wtf? What is it that a PC has that a laptop doesn't have? A laptop IS a PC. And my laptop is more powerfull than the PCs my friends have. :rolleyes: A laptop is a great tool, but your PC is no greater tool than any laptop. You make it sound like you are recording on one of those...

    Lean How To Use Acid Software by Watching!!!!

    Just report this to a moderator and leave it... The more replies, the more attention it'll get, and that's just what we don't want, right?

    laptop vs. desktop

    I'd prefer a laptop. If you do only big recording gigs, it doesn't matter. But if you just go track a few tracks, for ex some sax lines or something, you don't need all that. Just take the laptop, and a small rack with the external soundcard and some pres. One micstand, a mic and cables and...

    laptop vs. desktop

    Are you planning to get a laptop or desktop, or do you just want to know? If you want a reason why we use either a laptop or desktop, let us know, you fellow belgian!

    My new band/project, live tune!

    There's really nothing in this piece that actually is rehearsed!! We played something in this vein while jamming on a rehearsal, and just said: wow, we gotta do this. We just had 4 rehearsals, of which 2 were with the percussionplayer. I'm pretty proud on the sax, sabbath. I love the sound I...

    My new band/project, live tune!

    Here's a tune from the concert I played last week with my latest project. It started out as a one time project, but we all had a real good time, so we gonna keep it going. The 'band' is called Xeeno, and there's 4 people involved. Me on sax, keys and PC (running Ableton Live), an awesome...

    Signal splitters?

    This is what JGourd is using... Seems cool to me, but its above my budget. I found another one at a German online shop, for about half the price! I mailed them to get some more info, there's not enough on the site, and it's a housebrand...

    Cheap SPdif to analog?

    With cheap I mean something like 100€ max... The mindprint looks really nice, but I'd feel stupid buying that as an addition to a 250€ soundcard... And I can't find a price on the ART di/o. It looks pretty neat though. I really mean CHEAP. Radioshack toys would be perfect. I just need it to...

    sm57 goes weird on phantom power!?

    I started buying cheapass cables too... For less than 2$ for a 3m jack-jack cable, jee, why would you want anything else. It's not that this is going to degrade my soundquality when doing mostly liveshows. :rolleyes: And at this price, I can buy about 9 extra spare cables for the price of one...

    Cheap SPdif to analog?

    I want to use multiple outputs on my Audiophile USB. I can have 2 seperate stereo outs, one analog and one on SPdif coaxial. Now, is there a cheap way to get that SPdif signal into my headphone? Maybe a small DIY project or something? Thanks, r.

    Signal splitters?

    Thanks to Gordo I know that these thinks exist!!! I need them for my new gig... I'm running a laptop with Ableton Live, and this allows me to play with live musicians on a improvisational base. And I can record and loop them while playing. But to do that with FOH mixing, I need splitters...

    Signal splitters?

    I need *something* to split a signal coming from a mic, to go to 2 seperate mixers (each mixer has its own micpre)... What are my options, which brands, what costs, pros, cons,... Experiences? Thanks! r.

    sm57 goes weird on phantom power!?

    Here's an easy way to test it; try the setup with a condensor that NEEDS phantom power. If the condensor works as it is supposed to, you can kick my ass next year. Phantom power will NOT go thru an outboard pre. In fact, your outboard pre might get DAMAGED TOO if you hook it up to a mic pre...

    help with fruity loops

    Now I understand your post... Strange, I'm about just as tired as I've been the last 2 weeks. Not THAT hard to get. Indeed, if you use them in a irregular way, that would be the only way...

    Zappa-ish: Is that a word? New song.
