The RT-123 is basic and cheap - but the samples are of good quality. Personally, I never bother saving too many patterns on the machine itself - just basic click tracks. I generally program it from a sequencer from my midi out to the midi in on the 123 - you can usually do much more that way...

The people that own Digitech also own Johnson. Digitech have now released the Genesis 3 as the replacement for the J-Station. I believe it's got some more features, although it doesn't have any Bass Amps (but costs twice the price). Basically the J-Station is no longer being maufactured -...

Hi Eanna, I was looking to spend similar amount of cash to you about 2 years ago. Although my style of music would be fairly different (more indie, alt.country style - the Pernice Brothers, Kingsbury Manx, Mercury Rev). I ended up getting a Roland 880ex for about £1150 in Waltons in Dublin...

Eurythmic: I agree with you 100%. I was never really "that guy", but I was getting there. Practiced my scales, fancy-ass solos, etc. But a few years ago, I saw Sonic Youth at Lollapalooza in Boston while in the US for a summer. A life-defining moment: completely changed the way I thought...

Almost all of the good hooks I've written have come to me by complete accident. Playing the wrong chord, "throwing" my fingers on the fretboard and finding that the resulting chord sounds good (and then "guessing" where the next chord should be), or even by playing while watching TV and NOT...

"Also are you having dynamic problems with your current set up?" Nope, everything is sweet - the signal is loud, clean and clear. I'm very happy with it overall, even if I've only had the J-Station for a few days. I'm really only wondering if the outboard compressor would give me an even...

How's it going all, I'd like your opinions on this... My current guitar setup is as follows: Guitar/Bass Guitar to a Johnson J-Station to (via Digital SP/Dif) a Roland 880EX to a PC (for Mastering and CD Burning). The guitar is a standard Fender Strat, the bass is an Epiphone. I also have a...

Hi Guys, Dobro: I seem to be in a similar position to you... I'm a guitarist (acoustic mainly), but I also play bass even though I don't own a bass amp. The bass is a fairly standard Epiphone model - passive pickups I think. I've tried to record it direct to disk but it just didn't work - it...

Another problem that I have with time is in the whole recording/re-recording process. I'm sure most of you can empathize with me here: I record an Acoustic Guitar track. The take is almost perfect - however, I've noticed a little bit of string buzz on the third line of the second verse. It's...

This may seem like a little trivial, but nevertheless... Every time anyone asks me how the music's going, I always respond - "great, except I just NEVER have enough time". Indeed, it can takes me ages to complete one song - between writing, recording, re-recording, mastering and burning, it...

I had that problem with one song of mine. I've found that chorus can work well when applied subtly as a send effect - note that this is a tip I got from a magazine, so I guess it is a standard technique. I also copied the vocal to a new track - I assume this is "doubling". Between the two...

I've had a look at the VIA website mentioned above. Unfortunately, I don't know which chipset I have. Do any of you know where I can find the chipset version on my Windows 98se PC? It might just save me from having to buy a new motherboard... Thanks in advance. S.

I think I might know the source of your problem. I had regulated pops & clicks with my old SB Live Platinum - I unchecked the DMA box on my Hard Drive settings and that fixed it. I didn't notice too much degradation in Audio/Midi timing (but that may be because I rarely use more than 1 or 2...

Hi, Like it says on the subject title, I need to split a stereo file into two mono files. I use Soundforge 4.5 (excellent product btw) - so at the moment, I simply copy and paste each side into two new mono files. However, I'd love to be able do this automatically (e.g. using Save As). I...
