:cool:Yo Matt: I "think" you can just use the left-mono plug--in/out and the RNC will still kick in. Since I got my Yam AW1600, I use its dynamics and the RNC sits on the rack. The RNC should have words on the plug-ins designating the mono plug as left. Give it a try. Green Hornet:D

:DPretty Cool Stuff Ethan. "...And the music comes out here...." Green Hornet.:cool:

:cool:The J: A few things I've run into. Since I record all the tracks directly from a synth or the drum box, I run into some "mud" because of the patches I selected. The Motif has very enhanced patches; these patches can be altered, like cut off some of the reverb. [Almost never have to add...

:cool: It seems to me, IMHO, that Alesis, maybe except for Adat, has gone downhill over the past few years. Lots of competition. Little keys/baby keys/ not for me. Full sized keys are my norm. As for synths, it's a real changing market for the biggies. Korg, Yamaha, and last, but not...

:DYo GOBLIN: You still working? You can call Sweetwater's FREE service techie and ask about your problem. And, it's a free call. Recently, I lost sound on ONE monitor. After checking my recorder, Yam AW1600, I found that I had turned OFF the left stereo feed--real simple to fix but...

:DYea, verily: I just took my A7s out of the box and hooked them up. I've never yet twiddled the front dials--had to reason to do twiddling as the sounds were nice and clear. Best CDs I've ever made are from the A7 monitors. Yeah, you can spend a whole lot more on monitors....but I expect...

:DYo Mo-Better-Blues::cool: Your choices, with your budget, are indeed huge. I'm on my 4th set of monitors. I started out on the low end and moved up to the higher priced spread. I use the Adam A7s. Very nice monitors. I don't anticipate having to buy monitors for a LONG time. You should...

Hola! ?que tal en Argentina?:cool: I never had any luck with Nady products; bought two items and both were defective right out of the box. Suggest you look at KRK for mid-price monitors. Or, for a pair that will work for you for many years, the more expensive Adam A7s, which are powered. I...

My PC stuttered! Green Hornet

:D:DYo Killie:Well, you've started the ball rolling with your gear selections. I still use an ART two channel mic pre--have my drum box plugged in to it to boost up to whatever level I need for a given song.* I also use a Grace Design 101 for vocals--nice box; not the best but in the...

:eek:Yo Dan: By CUE, I mean you have to assign the device to the "device manager" of Windows. I've had this problem where Windows doesn't want to "recognize" new gear. Or, suddenly, Windows forgets that it used to recognize the gear. It's a crazy world. Maybe I'm way wrong. Just a...

Yo Dan of IZA great Spring: Go to the Windows DEVICE MANAGER. You have to cue the device to the device manager in order for Windows to recognize the device. This is usually done when you load in the drivers via the CD rom when you install the new gear. I've had Windows "forget" to recognize...

:rolleyes:Yo Killie Across the Channel: I'll have a Laphroig neat please. Get yourself a Yamaha AW1600 and a Boss 880 Drum machine. You will need a decent mic to sing. The unit can record 8 tracks at once. It contains all the FX, Dynamics, and mastering algorithms you will ever need for a...

:DI got my DX-7 by Yamaha some 20 years ago; lived with it, studied it; learned its potential and it still sits on the upper rack of my studio. I use it because I have some great patches; however, the patches on the DX-7 are not near the quality as on the Motif that sits below it. Now that my...

:cool:Just something to think about. I had an MD8. I enjoyed the box. However, it is dated technology; the sound of its final product doesn't even come close to a CD made in a relatively inexpensive multi-tracker. Of course, there are ALL the PC programs also; since I don't use a PC program...

:DIn addition: I just found some GREAT training videos on the Dijohn site, dedicated to the AW1600, and the earlier model too. The "guy" speaks a bit fast; however, the videos open up all the facets of the box that the manual has trouble explaining. A real asset. Green Hornet:cool:

:cool:Yo Jake: You will have much fun with the 1600. When you go to the Dijohn support site, check out the "videos" dealing with operation in the Newbie forum. I watched a couple of them today and was amazed at "what I didn't know" the unit can do. Punch in the "Hip Hop" algorithm on a track...

:cool:In turn, the Yam AW1600 can record on 8 tracks at once and accepts 1/4 inch or XLR input. One feature on the 1600 is it has mastering algorithms which most other boxes in the same price range do not. [I'm not sure about the Boss units.] The 1600 will also burn a 60 minutes CD in about...

:cool:Personally, I like to HEAR vocals "with bass." Green Hornet:rolleyes:

:cool: Try shutting off your dither and limiter. Your vocal should be peaking near the top if you want it to stand out. Not blasting but up near the top and you can even go over it a tad. Some folks let the music kind of overpower the vocal as in many, many recordings out there. If one can't...
