    I don't really have any new songs...

    I was more than 99% certain of that. But thanks for putting to rest the tiny uncertainty. Tim, should I tell him about all the clues I found? :) Don

    MIDI question!!

    You can use MIDI to trigger the Roland to play a sound. Or you can use MIDI to use the Roland to trigger something else to play a sound. But the sound itself still comes out of the regular old audio output. Perhaps I have misunderstood your question. Don

    Miking vocals for musical theatre recording

    That should make it considerably easier to get the recording to sound the way you want it to sound. You could just use an X/Y pair, and situate the performers around the mics to get the desired sound. The performers should be instructed to ignore the staging and stay where you place them, or...

    Miking vocals for musical theatre recording

    These two requirements are pretty much contradictory, I'm sorry to say. The standard way to record such a performance would be to use some kind of stereo array (choose your poison: X/Y, ORTF, Decca Tree, etc.) plus spot mikes (wireless) for the soloists. Here's a suggestion: Bring all the...

    Small Church move from cassette to Cd recording?

    Realtime recording to CD can be a bit risky. If you do use a standalone, you should at least use y-connectors and run the cassette recorder simultaneously as a backup. While it's possible to go the standalone route, I think it would be better to record the audio into a computer with a CD burner...

    16 vs. 24 vs, 32(floating) bit recording

    You can say that again! :D :p

    16 vs. 24 vs, 32(floating) bit recording

    A/D converters usually work in either 16 or 24 bit PCM format, which uses signed integers to represent sample values. This has advantages for moving data quickly from the converter to the computer. But for all the processing in between recording and burning the CD (or whatever the target...

    Beatles Cover Thread!

    The arrangement pretty much a note-for-note transcription of the original, so the credit for that must go to Sirs McCartney and Martin. That fact did occur to me. :) I agree with you. However, I believe that there is value in this sort of mimicry if one approaches it like an art student copying...

    Beatles Cover Thread!

    Since this thread has been revived (OK, it was never really dead!), I'll throw this one to the wolves. It's hot off the computer: For No One Happy listening, Don

    Eq?

    I agree with all that's been said so far. One technique that I have found useful to get the basic EQ curve for a room is as follows: Set up the system with mics and speakers in their places. Announce to anyone present that you'll be adjusting the sound system, and that there will be some...

    Latin Groove - elec and classical guitar duo

    Very good playing, Tim! It's obviously (from the title) a modal piece, but ears kept waiting for a resolution of the ii-V to a I chord. It sounds like it could be the middle portion of a larger work. Don

    Audiophile2496 Midi Problem

    Ah. I get it. Once you're sure that the Audiophile's MIDI port is working, you can connect its MIDI OUT to the J-Stations's MIDI-IN, and send whatever MIDI messages the J-Station needs to do its stuff. You'd have to consult the J-Station's MIDI implementation chart for specifics on that. What...

    Audiophile2496 Midi Problem

    I guess it does look a bit complex, but the basic functions are pretty simple. Set MIDI-OX to get its input from your MIDI port. Connect your controller's MIDI OUT to your Audiophile's MIDI IN. Do something (like move a fader?) to make the controller send out a MIDI message. You should see the...

    First Post of Tune by a Aging 70's Semi-Newbie

    That guitar sure does sound nice to me. I was afraid that I was imagining that. Being mainly a vocalist and keyboard player, I'm quite easily fooled by Pods and similar gizmos. Don
