... and you still haven't told me what a woofer cone is ... :confused:

Good heavens no Bruce. Not over the top at all! Of course we all THINK that, it's just that it hasn't been said that directly before; well, not much; lately; in the last 10 minutes. :p

Now, if Bruce could just use his last post to start a new thread, we could just point all the newbie questions there instead of wasting time answering them ... I think it about covers everything! (Strewth, I'm glad I didn't cop you blokes when I first started visiting here. Love ya's all...

... what's a woofer cone??? and how do you get your missus to let you spend $1,000 on recording gear?!?! ... and how come Trebles doesn't use punctuation !?

You got what u deserved No appology forthcoming! When u embrace a complete loony like "the crocodile hunter" as has the U.S. , what do you expect. Did you realise that no-one here in Aust. had heard of him till he got onto U.S. Tv !!! Besides, Paul Hogan was a real funny bugger before he made...

G'day all. I'm looking to put together a computer for home use, but one that can also receive files via S/Pdif optical from my Korg D8, for backing-up to cd. Are there any "simple" (read cheaper) soundcards that have optical in's & out's. ( Oh, one other thing, it needs to run at 44.1khz, ...

You're all just shameless husseys! ... Ok, aren't we all ... Ibanez Blazer custom (old faithful.) Yamaha BB5 bass Several harmonicas A Casio something or other keyboard/synth. Music2000 for Playstation (for loops/rhythms etc.) Shure SM57 (vocals/harp/whatever.) some el-cheapo passive DI Korg...

Well, I'm thinking if you're having to boost the mids every time you mixdown there's somthing wrong somewhere. You mentioned you didn't cut any mids during tracking or mixing. You also mentioned in your first post that your songs "sound kind of muffled, like I dropped most of the mids out". I'd...

ummmm just tell me to shut up and sit down, but, wouldn't boosting the mids be the reason your mix is sounding muddy? What are you using for monitoring? (I'm honestly asking, coz that was the first thing that occurred to me, I'm still learnin' about this stuff.) Macca

Yes ... Correct again. When recording to a track you do pan that track to its left or right position to receive the incoming signal. I'm not sure how that will work when recording the stereo mix from different tracks though. You may have to experiment. Thats why it's better to mixdown to a...

... or you can look to the good folk at www.egroups.com/messages/KorgD16/ ... or just keep asking around here! We seem to be gathering quite a little Korg community around here, even if there isn't a legitimate place for us to meet, eh Dragon!!! ( I must admit though, I kind of like being...

Papoola, What you have described is correct. I'm a little unsure of what you mean at step 5. Tracks 1 & 2 will be your final stereo mix. And you should leave the panning controls centered to keep the stereo "image" you have created. It might be better to do your mixdown to one of the stereo...

JK How does it sound if you use the Vintech before you go into the Korg? I don't have experience in this area but I'm sure dedicated pre's would have to be better.

Things to think about ... Hey Bloomington, Before deciding to buy any piece of gear ... think about what you want and need. Exactly how portable do you NEED? How many inputs at once do you need to record? etc, etc. You sound like you already have some impressive gear, have you thought about...

Just a thought ... ... but if you're recording a'capella groups anyway, wouldn't you just record live, in stereo? To record the 'sound' of a vocal group accurately you could set up a couple of decent condenser mic's in a stereo pattern in a reasonable room, and you would only need to record 2...

Hey Jason, ok, most decent drum machines have sequencers built in, so you can build up a rhythm piece by piece, or loop by loop. Some even have bass sounds to use in the same way. Most of the ones that sound decent are getting quite pricey, at least in Australian dollars! Hey, do you own a...

Hey Kobra, try CoolEdit '96. I think they still have a free download of it at Hit Squad .com ... or for a few bucks you could get the updated version and all the extras that go with it. cheers, Macca.

I just picked up a version of Music2000 for the Playstation. I thought I could use it to put together some drum & rhythm tracks to transfer to my hard disc recorder. I figured for $20 Australian for a sampling sequencer, I can't go wrong. Has anyone out there used it with any success?

Hi Vinnie, Yes. The Philips units are used by quite a few folk at the Korg D8 forum on Yahoo ... mostly successfully. (there are some unexplained hiccups occasionally.) Pioneer also make a similar unit that has been given the thumbs up by some. It seems, from what I've read, that the twin tray...

??? CD Burning ??? Hey Vinnie, Nope, sorry. The D8 doesn't have the necessary on board software to control an external CD burner, Korg or otherwise. However, if you get a 'standalone' CD recorder ... like Philips, Pioneer, Marantz, Tascam etc. , that will work. Get one that DOESN'T try to...
