Once heated, do not re-freeze. :D

Interesting. I find the action to be very good. Perhaps its previous owner didn't treat it so well, and the action of the weighted keys has suffered? Or perhaps you're used to playing the non-weighted keys of the Casio, and so the weighted action felt a bit heavy? I find the action on my...

Thanks Harvey! I understand what you're saying about time domain vs frequency domain. I don't know whether the mic modelling algorithm in the VS2480 is simply using EQ, or whether there's any more sophisticated processing in there to adjust the characteristics of the microphone. I'll mainly...

I agree with you there, Buddy.

I think you should be able to synch cakewalk with the Yamaha using MTC & MMC (MIDI Time Code & MIDI Machine Control). This is a method of syching machines which just uses one MIDI cable. I don't know if Cakewalk can use MTC & MMC, but it seems like something it should be able to do. Say...

Damn! You got it good! :D You don't need any help with that project, do ya? :D

Re: because.... Ahhh! I knew I was missing something in my songs! :D

I believe the Fender Jazz Chorus is considered to be good for Rhodes etc.

Bump...

Well, touch sensitivity and weighted keys are *not* the same thing at all. Touch sensitivity is about it being sensitive to how hard you press the key - weight is about the key's action and response. As far as pianos go - I have a Yamaha P-80 and I can't recommend it enough (I am primarily a...

Re: okay No problem :)

I didn't say it was a coincidence. You misunderstood me. By the way, my orignal comment of "pseudo-scientific analysis of what is really an art form has kinda lead you up a blind alley" was aimed at the original poster's breakdown - not at your post.

I think that pseudo-scientific analysis of what is really an art form has kinda lead you up a blind alley. In popular music, I think the music matters more than the lyrics. Are there are *so* many songs out there with "bad" lyrics that are still "good" songs. However I think you're mistaken...

Just the one - AKG C3000B.

Geez. I didn't realise burners could burn out (no pun intended) so quickly. I'm on my first (the one build into my VS-2480) - and I haven't even used it yet. Still, I don't plan on using it *that* often - so I can expect it to hold out for quite a while, right?

Haha! Yes you can. They're called ground-wounds or half-wounds. In fact, I've got a set on my fretless at the moment. They're a good halfway house - I find they give the edge of roundwounds, but not the zingy-ness of them, if you see what I mean. They're particularly good for fretless, I've...

I've been reading through this thread recently. Wow! This is incredibly useful stuff. Thanks a lot Harvey! And yeah, this should be sticky! :) And now for a question... Sorry if you've covered this ground already and I missed it but... Harvey, I have a Roland VS2480 DAW, and I recently...

Like others have said, it's a little unfair to assume they're the same price. They ain't! But, I've used the AW4416 quite a lot (I don't own one, I borrowed it) - and I recently bought a VS2480 - so I can give a reasonable comparison. Going on my experience - I would definitely go for the...

Flats will help - particularly with the noise of your fingers sliding on the string, but like DeadPoet says, they sound very different. Flats have a much deader sound, they don't have that 'growl'. What kind of sound do you want? Flats may or may not be appropriate. You may find that you...
