I can recommend the Roland VS2480 (24tr/24bit/96k). I've got one and I think it's great. And it can record 16 tracks at once (even in 24 bit). Unless you want a sample rate higher than 48k (i.e. 64, 88.2 or 96), in which case it can only record 8 at once.

Ok, I've just had a listen over headphones. I see what you mean - the sound does change slightly at that A, but it is subtle. But I wouldn't call it "dud" samples at all - it's just slightly different, that's all. To me, it still sounds sweet, just a little more mellow than the notes before...

I went with hardware. But, each to his own of course. I don't wanna get into an argument, all I'll say is: sonusman - your anti-digital rants make me angry :mad: You seem like a man with an axe to grind.

I've got a Rhodes :)

Hmmm. Ok, well I'll definitely stick some headphones on when I get home and have a listen. Which sounds in particular are you finding this with - any piano sounds in particular? I'd be interested to see what other comments people have made about this, actually. As far as recording it goes...

The difference is that graphic EQ gives you a discrete set of specific frequency bands, each of which you can boost or cut. However, you don't get any control over what the frequency bands are - it just depends on the graphic equalizer. Whereas with parametric EQ, you have much greater fine...

I agree, don't do the final mix on headphones. You really would be surprised how different the balance can sound on headphones as opposed to speakers.

Bought it.

Eh? Are you kidding? I've got a P80 and it sounds great - much better than any other keyboard or module I've ever used. When I get home tonight, I'll play those notes you mentioned - but, I've had it about two and half years now, and I've played it a lot - and I love its piano sounds. Are...

Yes - lower strings ringing in sympathy really is a problem with the bass - particularly the E. Generally, I rest my thumb on it to put a stop to it - or if I'm playing on the top string maybe I'll rest my thumb on the A string. This "floating thumb" technique is possibly not ideal, as you...

Thanks for your advice guys :) Recording Engineer - that mic looks interesting, worth checking out at some point, though, at the moment I can't really afford to be buying new mics (I only recently the one I'm using). Looks like it's gonna be the boom stand option then.

Haha! I'm not sure about headset mics, the thought had crossed my mind, but I'm not sure - I tend to think it looks a bit too 'Britney' :D Practically, though, are headset any good?

Hi folks. I've got a question regarding micing vocals live, while I'm playing the piano (digital piano, actually). The obvious solution would be to have a boom stand to one side - but it occurred to me that a more elegant solution might be to use a gooseneck of some kind to mount the mic - and...

I don't. My dad does, however.

On guitar - about medium I guess. On bass - low. Fretless. Mwah.

Actually, IME, bass is (or can be, rather) dynamic enough to require compression. It's very common for bassists to use compression pedals etc. when playing live. It's gonna depend upon the player and the style, of course - and how consistent the player is. But, you'd be surprised just how...

That'll be Chuck Rainey you're talking about there, one of the greatest session bass players :) RE the buzzing/slapping - not all good players do this. Ever listened to Jaco? He had a very clean sound. And, the buzzing/slapping is a fretted issue, really. You don't tend to get these to...

Wow, that's great Harvey! :)

I always think it's a shame when people take the "it's us & them" attitude :( We're all here because we love to record music, right? Whether we do it as our profession or not, that's our purpose, right?

I've played one StudioLogic controller keyboard (I don't know which model it was, *supposedly* good one, I think). I hated it! I really didn't like the action, it made it so difficult to play quietly. But, don't judge StudioLogic keyboards by my one experience :) That one I played may have...
