Ah! But that drum module only has midi out, not in. So his only options are to record the midi data and use sounds in the software/VSTs he's using or record the left/right audio from the drum module. He won't have the option of returning the midi back to the drum module after he's tweaked it.

To synch a drum machine to your recorder should be pretty simple - hook up a midi cable from the out of the recorder to the in on the drum machine and set the recorder as master and the dm as slave (may not even need to do that). The drum machine will follow along with the recorder when ever...

let us know how it turns out.

rent/borrow/buy a pair of small condensors like MXL 603/604 and set them on a T-bar on a boom stand as high as you easily can. Point them in a X pattern with the tips of the mics nearly touching, one mic pointed to one side of the group, the other to the other. Angle the whole thing down a...

Windows XP 32 bit will only see about 3.5 gig, so it's a bit of a waste to get 4, unless you can get 2 sticks of 2 gig for a better price, just go with 3 gigs. Using 4 gigs won't hurt anything, XP just won't be able to use it all. You have to run a 64 bit operating system to use more memory...

Well... lot's of ways you can go with this. What's your budget? Have you ever played on edrums anytime? Some drummers absolutely hate them. The newer Rolands are better - many drummers can tolerate the V-drums with mesh heads. But expect a couple thousand dollars. One thing about the edrums -...

Just by reading what you say here - that you're a old school, hands on guy - I think you'll be happier with the Roland rather than going to a software DAW. Getting a PC to record and playback properly can sometimes be a nightmare, and the there's the software to learn. If I were you, I'd fire up...

I I understand your question, you want to use the Saffire to record to the Marantz by coaxial spdif. Right? As was said, you can use a regular rca cable to do this assuming the Saffire and the Marantz are set to the same rate. You can at least do this to try before you buy a pricier digital...

just be aware that if you cover a combo amp, it has to have some air so it won't overheat!

I have a AFS -75 and I think they're great for the money. Keep in mind these have a floating bridge - the bridge isn't attached to anything. Take all the strings off and the bridge falls to the floor. So you have to change strings one at a time.

Like soooo many posts like this... If it meets your expectations and you are satisfied with the results and your happy, then just keep on doing what you do. When you get to the point that your no longer happy with the results, then it's time for a change.

You need to be looking at what's WRONG with your XP setup, not what you THINK is right with your Vista set up. To say that audio is "richer" over Vista but then say you're not talking about it being colored makes no sense. "Richer" stills falls under the catagory of coloration, if it is not part...

I'm not sure why stand alone DAW's (digital recorders) are not discussed much in these forums but if you are looking to stay away from latency then you might consider one. The Tascam 2488mkII has been reduced in price to $599 at Zzounds and other places. 24 tracks, 8 inputs, USB 2.0, CD burner...

Do you try looking at these? Or looking at the Roland kick pedal triggers? http://www.hartdynamics.com/products/hammer/index.html#hammerkick

Many of the pre amp/interfaces come with more up to date software such as Cubase LE or Sonar. If you absolutely have to have the cheapest thing out there, get a ART Tube pre, hook up your SM58 with a XLR to XLR cable and go for it. The ART tube pre is about $40. At this level I wouldn't even...

If anyone could give me a recommendation - my church needs to purchase a couple of cardioid mics to cover groups and for theater type use, that is reinforcing the sound from a stage. I know neither of these would be many of your top picks, but they are really about all we can afford. Does...

Go try to check out a Zoom G2 effects unit. They have a very nice sounding tremelo, plus you get a whole lot more for the $100 price. Honestly - check one out.

Circuit City had a great buy on a HP desktop this week. It ran a Pentium 4 with Hyper threading, but it was a low end P4, with 1meg cache - model 524 I think. Still ran at 3.0 Gig. Is that processor going to be okay for modest multi-tracking? thanks

This is an interesting topic - you all should go to the web site for Mix magazine. In their back issues archives, you will frequently find articles on how such and such classic recording was done, usually told by the artist, or producer, or engineer that was at the session. In a lot of cases, it...

I have played around with one a little, after getting interested in people like Jerry Douglas, Robert Randolph, Cindy Cashdollar, etc. They are a lot of fun and not too hard to learn a little at first. Of course like anything, it takes skill and practice to get good. I bought one of those cheap...
