    triton or motif ???

    In the end, these are two very similar keyboards and it is just a matter of preference. They both do about the same things and fall into the same category. To decide you should listen to both and see which one has the type of sounds you would like to have. Then check out, as best as you can...

    Too Little, Too Much, Just Right

    Too many parts can spoil the mix. Not enough can leave the song sounding weak and empty. Just right is a balancing act. Whatever is done, whatever equipment is used, it just doesn't matter unless you get the balance between instrumentation, parts and sounds and vocals all right. Not always an...

    Recording Levels

    As I understand it, the goal is to record audio tracks as hot as possible. Is this really the goal. Also, I record most instruments direct. Synthesizers, samplers and drum machines and loops. Should these be recorded flat. I understand that the issue of levels and eq has a relation to tape...

    Favorite softsynth - what's yours?

    Oh, Okay. If soft samplers are included, then Kontakt wins hands down. I just wish they would put out libraries such as Vienna Symphonic for Kontakt.

    B4. However, if this counts, I do love Stylus although it is a percussion synth only.

    Korg Karma?

    OH yes, one other thing. Those that say it is for Trance or Techno are somewhat missing the point. ALL arrpeggiators are useful in the styles. The Karma, having so many more patterns, with such wide and varied architecture is useful in many, many more styles. That, of course, is half its charm...

    Korg Karma?

    YOu can now add the Karma function to the Triton. I don't know how easy it is to operate or if it is just contorl over the computer version. You will have to find out for yourself. You can now program a Karma from the computer. All parameters are programable including GEs (Karma speak for...

    Power Conditioners

    Thanks Tex. I thought they might be available in industrial form for not too much money. Those Furman ones are a bit pricey. I would guess you pay for the packaging and name and what not.

    Aging Amplifier

    I have a Crown DC150 that is getting a bit old (over twenty years) It sometimes hums from the left channel until I touch and slightly move the left volume control (mostly just touching though). I seem to be getting a high leve of harmonic distortion. What can I do about this.

    DESPERATE for help with audio problem

    The intermittent sound seems like a cable problem. Did you change the mic cable to see if it was shorting out. ALso, is there a detachable power cable that might be loose. I hope you get your equipment working but, either way, I learned something here. If you want responses on this site, use a...

    Eveything reacting strange

    I had a bad shutdown when I lost power. Everything came back on, things seemed to be going on well. I came back to it the next day and everything was reacting oddly. The sequencer in the Korg was out of wack, tracks that had been in sync before were not, programs had changed, the computer kept...

    Equaliser's

    I would strongly suggest saving a bit more money and getting the best eq you can. Mediocre eq's are virtually worthless and don't do much more than the eq on the board. Think of it this way, unless you absolutely must have it now for some project and cannot, under any circumstances live...

    Tracking vocals

    When tracking vocals, should compression be used on the original track or should it be avoided rather attempting to get the smoothest performance possible and th en employ the compressor if necessary. Also, I don't like reverb on vocals all that much. Possibly there are ways to use the reverb...

    Mixing Bass

    (Jerry W on work computer) First, I don't usually use compression on bass or for that matter, on many instruments at all. I usually play all the parts on my productions and I tend to play very steady at the same level always. I have allot of control and I use it. In fact, I have tried using...
