OK these 2 posts confused me. There are AIs today that DON'T have preamps? And yeah I thought it was a given/understood that's what I'm talking about: the preamps in the AI. What else has gain in an AI?
Sorry, lost again. Clearly I don't even know as much as I thought about AIs (which I...
Bottom line I want it there if I need it: :) 60+ does seem to be rare on the less expensive models, but not by much. Is there really that much diff between 55 and 60?
The short answer I'm sure is "it depends," but generally speaking, I'm wondering about people's experiences and the good/bad/ugly with various AIs. Did you run into issues, and if so, how much gain did you have that didn't seem quite adequate? It seems most have at least 45-50db with most in...
My posts still apply IMO. But if you/your friends are dying to spend extra money for (IMO) little if any noticeable diff, that's up to you...
I can't believe you think it would be worse! Honestly assuming at least a reasonably well-prepared area (as you mentioned), IMO it's unlikely he will...
But he'll still lose hundreds. With the Yeti or comparable, he can keep it and lose less. Or sell it and lose even less.
To record college notes? I'm sorry but that's pretty ridiculous advice...and would also likely cost more than the Yeti.
Again unless he's that rare student with tons of...
For simply reciting books to audio, you're already hitting a mosquito with a sledgehammer. Get yourself a Blue Yeti USB (about $125 I think) and be done with it. Don't fall into the tragically common and ridiculous trap of being mesmerized by pricey equipment which is far (far) more than you...
If it does what I need it to do and does it well? I'm a HUGE fan. I want to kiss it, to buy it presents, to take it out to dinner, to have its babies. Of course there's no such beast so it's all moot, but wow what I'd give (pay!) for a big fat red EASY button I could hit and voila, my stuff...
I can sum this up for anyone interested: it's basically just 3 or 4 questions which all say the same thing: "Does this audio clip sound like the instruments are being played by group of musicians playing in a room/hall/studio etc" and a link to 3 or 4 clips. Sounds to me like someone trying...
Good stuff there. I would add to listen to some guitar work and try to copy it to help get a feel for how to "play a guitar" on a keyboard...over time you start to notice things, including those above.
I don't have an answer to your question either, but I share your interest/search and (despite what a lot of guitar/music snobs will tell you) there are some good VSTi's out there. Do some online searches and see which grabs you......there are various videos on youtube, etc as well.
? You said ease of use was the deciding factor. They're both exactly the same in that regard.
I do think based on what I can tell (I've been looking at various Korg and Roland models) that the Rolands are easier to use FWIW
Oh yeah that makes sense.
Let's review:
- I created the thread
- I made it quite clear what info I was interested in
- I also made it quite clear - and had to repeat it at least once, which is once more than should be necessary - I was not interested in used equipment when the idea came up
-...
I'll be honest I didn't read the replies about used gear/etc; thanks but as I said before it is a pointless discussion for me. Back to speakers. New ones. :)
Has anyone used anything significantly less than the JBLs (about $300 a pair) that sounded at least decent, and I don't mean "decent...
