    What is the best soundcard to use with a Tascam DM-24 ?

    Hi ! I am going to go digital for a variety of reasons and was narrowing down my choices of audiocards to use with the DM-24 that has 3 TDIF and one ADAT in/out (expandable, but i don't wish to take more than one expansion, that is another 8 channel ADAT in/out). My first choice owuld have...

    No movies last night, so i recorded this one... :D

    Eh eh ... thanx for listening to that one... It's ok i was just playing around, i surely didn't mean it to be a hit :D ! It was mainly a relaxing hour for me, and of course in one hour i really don't expect to have the ideas to put the song together and look for the best instrument and so...

    No movies last night, so i recorded this one... :D

    It was 23.00, i was in front of the TV and there was nothing particularly interesting so I took my laptop and my little 25 keys on my knees so i put up Discovery Channel and recorded this piece... Used 2 free soft synths and a heavily modified drum sequence i had on my laptop for pure...

    Pro Quality Recording and Mixing!

    The playing and the arrangement is fine, I just don't really like the voice, how it sits in the mix and the lack of confidence : some notes are not well held and that ruins a fine song... I would re-record the vocals maybe in another time of the day when your voice is a bit warmer and after...

    TO anyone who has a MOTU Midi Express XT...

    Hi all ! I am just hooking up all my studio again and unluckily the cable for the MIDI Express is just a tad short to get to the pc... Can i use a normal parallel cable to lengthen it ? Hope someone knows this one as i would really like to know before buying cables ... Thanx a lot !

    How to patch inserts on a patchbay ?

    I guess i will just hook all the inputs of the mixer on the patchbay and on their normalled counterparts all my instruments, then the inserts and the direct outs and the third patchbay just the signal porcessors (reverbs, delays ecc...).... So i will use just a couple of cables in normal use (...

    How to patch inserts on a patchbay ?

    Yeah that was it, thanx a lot :D I am drawing all the signal flow of my studio to have the patch bay intelligently patched... I guess that's the trickiest part of it all as you need to foresee the various uses you will do of your gear and stuff...

    How to patch inserts on a patchbay ?

    I was reading some posts here about patchbays and cabling but i don't think i got it right here... I guess i cannot patch an insert like the send on the top connector of the patchbay and the return in the bottom connector of the same channel... i would get a loop ( or not) ? Let me know as I...

    Something to relax with... (new/old song)

    Well that's a bit of freestyling yes :D... but i was just in that mood and it serves the song well in that point (maybe :D)... The sound is a CHinese something yes and i purposedly put it in front as i had a whole layer of strings in the back to support it and it seemed a nice change... And...

    Does this sound like real guitar playing?

    To me it sounds better, but tweaking the velocity and refining the style can get you better and better...

    Does this sound like real guitar playing?

    I guess it's not a matter of what style to use ( maybe 20%) but rather the sound/samples need a bit of twaking, maybe play with the velocity curve of your keyboard or of the sampler and suit that to your playing style...

    Branching Out...a bit

    I liked the song very much, just the voice is going off key sometimes ( often) and while the song is going one direction the voice is not always getting there, if that makes sense... It seems sometimes you were not sure what note to sing and tried to find it WHILE singing... Apart from that...

    Does this sound like real guitar playing?

    Maybe as a background guitar in a mix but like that it lacks expressiveness and dynamics ( most of all)...
