I am using Digital Performer with an Akai MPC2000XL. Now, I can record all my other midi insturment with no problem. Oh yes, and by the way, they are connected through a Midi Timepiece AV. Anyway, It seems I cannot record the midi output of the Akai into Digital Performer. They are synced and...

Equipment HA, equipment, more important, what do you listen to. Who do you like, what is the last thing you did that produced a great sound and how? In the end, who cares what you have, what can you do with it. What do you record, what type of music. Lets have some dicussion on these subjects...

Vanilla fudge Mackie 24/8 = Vanilla fudge. Mostly plain with an occassional bit of richness but never quite enough of the rich s*&t.

What flavor is your mixer and why? Sure am glad you define defined "Vanilla" I think everyone should define their sound by a flavor of ice cream. What is yours and why?

How do you set up your drum sounds, what kind of reverb do you use, what do you listen for. I ask becuase in general, I use reverb mostly on the snare, highhat and maybe a little on toms and cymbals. Don't know it this is the correct approach for standard drum sounds (I imagine that one could be...

Using digital Performer, Midi Timepiece AV and Akai MPC200XL. Cannot get Digital Performer to record midi signal from Akai. I have set it up the same way I would get midi from any other midi source, all other work fine but DP does not receive or Akai does not send midi signal. I believe it is...

C'mon, hwere are the three or four pundits now?

Also, I have a Rode NT1 and a dbx 376 Tube Channel. Now I cannot be completely sure since i am not experienced enough but...it did, at times, seem that putting the mic directly through the Mackie 24-8 might have been cleaner and therefore better overall sounding. More than likely, though, I need...

I agree with the Blue Bear guy. I am new to recording on my own and have tried using compression while tracking though I am not profficient in its use yet. the result was a bad sound that I was stuck with even though the playing on the track was very good and hard to duplicate.It was a piano...

Also, with reference to the compressor, could someone please explain threshold. Now I am aware that the threshold marks the level at which the compressor kicks in. Above the threshold, the sound is compressed, below, it is not. But the question is this, The threshold knob has negative numbers...

I have an HHB compressor and a mackie 24-8 mixer. the HHB has sidechain. From what I understand, the sidechain function is a way to send signal that is being compressed to another place, possibly for further processing. I am, however, not quite sure how to use this function and how it will...

I'm more interested to hear what kind of sounds you guys are producing in Malaysia. Its great to be able to hear what muscicians so far away are thinking and doing. What a trip.

NOthing gets a rise out of this audience more than the wor Behringer. Everytime someone bring it up, there is sure to follow lots of posts. So, here is mine. Its the music, not the equipment that counts the most. For home project studios, most people are simply trying to get an accurate...

OH, and BTW, I ended up with a MACKIE 24-8. So far, so good. I am quite pleased though I would not be considered a seasoned pro when it comes to recording. I am more of a musician just learning the art of recording or, to be more accurate and consistent with site location "Home Recording".

I was recently in the market for a board. One of the companies I looked at was Carvin because, somehow, thier sneaky little catalogue showed up at my door as well. After viewing thier site, I called to speak to them about thier product, prices, etc., The person who answered the phone acted like...

I just saw that there were more pages to this post and I am, for one, more athan happy that the situation did not involve any wrongdoing. My point is that if someone does try to get over on unsuspecting people on the internet, they should be publicly ostrasized. I use the internet freqeutly to...

For what its worth Squash in my opinion acted very responsibly. This forum is not only a place for people to learn but, apparently it is aplace for connections to be made. Interconnecting with others in the music business seems to be a veery important aspect of that business. If there is someone...
