Okay, got it to work. Thanks for the thorough answers. I'll try everything and see what's wrong.

I'm a newbie at MIDI controllers, so bear with me...I'd like to use my Axiom 61 with my Roland XV3080 synth module..but when I hooked it up there wasn't any sound. Any idea what the problem could be? Thanks in advance.

Is there an advantage to recording a keyboard amp instead of recording directly into a recorder, as is the case with electric guitar amps sounding more natural than plugging in and using an amp emulator? Do most artists record keyboard amps or direct line in?

Would I plug the keyboard directly into the headphone jack for my Fostex x-12? Or can I only do it or it would sound more natural if I recorded my keyboard amp?

How about Alesis Ion vs. Korg R3? Advantages/disadvantages?

I'm selling them here for $350 Buy It Now.

Oh okay. Do you have anything recorded using your Orbit 3 to give me some reference of what it's capable of? I'm really unsure of what synth or modules to get since I'm still wondering if I want to try my hand at creating dance or techno music. I am interested in bands like Postal Service and...

Okay, thanks a lot. Would you say that a module like an Proteus 2000 or Bass Station would be the most versatile option? A reason I'm crossing off a Micron or Microkorg is that it's only 37 keys, and I might need to use more. I like the sound of the synths from these two songs by Wolf Parade...

Thanks. I'm probably going to go the pickup route since it'll be cheaper. Unless...how about this Washburn?

I was wondering if I should install pickups on my current Norman B18, or if I'd get a better sound if I just bought an acousto-electric--this one: Also do I have to get an amp specifically for acoustic guitar. What would happen if I plugged it into a keyboard amp? Would something blow up? Do...

Oh okay. Thanks for the suggestion. How do you connect this stuff, and do you have to use computer software for any of this? Or are the patches already in the module like the Orbit 3. The reason I ask is that I'm not good at getting computer to MIDI keyboard stuff to work. Do I just connect a...

Haha, I think it's mostly my fault. I'm not that good of a singer and I'm still in my first year of guitar, and a good recording starts at the source, right? I really think if I focus enough on improving my singing and practicing more, I'd be able to make it sound better.

Would you say that the Micron is "gig-worthy," whatever that means in terms of keyboards? How many keys does a keyboardist actually need? I'm actually a pianist, but don't have much experience with keyboards. I want to start to gig, but I'm not sure what bands look for. I'm not a fan of the...

Ah, good idea. I'll forego the practice amp and just use my studio monitors. I just need 1/4 to XLR or 1/4 to TRS then.

Can anyone recommend me one in the $250-$350 range? Or is it possible that I can connect my studio monitors to the keyboard? I'm planning on getting an Alesis Micron, but don't know what to expect in turns of onboard speaker volume.

I'm looking for a synth. The problem is that I don't know which one I should get if I'm not looking to do electronic music without vocals, but at the same time I don't want it to sound cheesy if I record a song with it. Am I looking in the wrong direction if I don't want it to sound cheesy with...

Thanks a lot, Hornet. What kind of cable do I need to run a drum machine like the 880 into the Art Tube Pre? Do you use this preamp? Also, which drum machine, SR-16 or 880, do you think would be easier for a newb like me to learn on?

I got a pair of KRK RP5's, but don't have a room that's set up for flat frequency response, or whatever you call it. I think I got the dreaded Gear Acquisition Syndrome when I decided to pursue recording. I got a part-time job to also pay for 2 AT4047 mics and a Firebox, but don't even have a...

I'm confused about MIDI. Since I got a MIDI controller--an Axiom, not a synth, I have to have to download sounds instead of using the "onboard" sounds? Cubase comes loaded with VST instruments, right? So can I still create music without having to download additional stuff?
