Before you go off buying a roland, Korg, Kurzweil or any other has been keyboard, you owe it to yourself to check out Yamaha's Motif... Great sounds, built in sequencer, fantastic action in three different flavors, 61, 76 and 88 keys. Albert

Excuse my ignorance Tubedude Why do I need a DI. I am a keyboard player, and I was talking to my bassist, and he thought that the DI was just to connect to the house/studio mixer. It sounds as though you use the DI to color the sound? Is that right? The way I recorded the bass was to my...

Two Against Nature My understanding is that this Steely Dan album was tracked at 16 bit 44.1Khz. Would you guess that all DSP was done outside of the DAW, and brought back in for final mix/master? Albert

The title of the post says it all. I have not been very successful in getting a nice, round, tight bass sound out of my mixes. Most sound either washed out, hard to define, or muddy. I was able to get rid of the muddiness through EQ, but the round tightness (for lack of a better description) I...

Yamaha S-80 I would definitely check out the S80. I have one. It is a fantastic keyboard with lots of great sounds, and a killer expansion library... There is one library for piano sounds alone. . . There are also some Kurzweil boards and Rolands that may be in that price range. . . Albert

What's your price range? I have three suggestions. AKG 240m, Audio Technica m40fs's and Sony V900. I auditioned all three and I could quickly rule out the AKG's as being less detailed than the other two. The Sony's hyped up the low and high end. The Audio Technica's I thought were the most...

The DMpro is excellent. It is essentially the Alesis equivalent of the roland V Drums. But, much better IMO. I got for $475, but I've seen it go for about $430 depending on condition. I have a QSR also, and let me tell you the drum sounds on the DMpro are several notches above anything on the...

Thanks! Shack Thanks for the advice. I just bought me an Alesis DM pro. It is very very good. It has 64 drum kits, and thousands of drum sounds that are all tweekable. It has 16 trigger inputs and 6 audio outs. Thats more than I need but, could not resist the price on Ebay. Albert

nice Shwamp!:cool:

Hey keyboard players/home recorders What do you use to get those great grooves and fat drum sounds in your recordings or live? Do you use sample based loops, Midi tracks, live drums, groove boxes, or what? If so, how do you use them? I started out with Midi Tracks triggering a Roland XP-50...

the Ozlee The S03 is not a bad choice at all for the price. Although I would prefer the S30 by a mile, for the kinds of sounds I am looking for: Pianos, EP's, Organs, Strings, etc. the S03 is extremely good ofr the money!! my 2 cents. Albert

LUCIDICUL Can hear it coming and going!:D "I love Lucid" , the sequel! ;) Lucid in the Sky with Diamonds

Audio Technica gets the nod FYI I went and auditioned all three. Actually, I auditioned the Sony v900's which is the next step up from the mdr 7506. I listened and listened and listened, and I could immediately rule out the AKG as being less detailed than the other two -- also very low volume...

This may have been covered elsewhere, but could not find it: Here's the question. I need some monitor headphones that are as transparent as possible. Mostly need to have accurate low end. From the research I have done, I have narrowed things down to three models in my price range: 1. Sony...

Lucid Insanity!

Tape Yeah! I hear about people going to analog and back into their DAW also on a track by track basis. I am wondering about that myself! Does anyone have a clue as to what quality tape deck you would need in order not to compromise your digital recording with hiss, etc? Do any use hi fi...

DP Thanks Dom for the question: I am recording with a Mac G4 500 MP; using Digital Performer 2.72. As far as tracks, I have been able to play back as many as 38 tracks without a hitch. So, in essence I have as many tracks as I need. My typical songs have about 15 -25 tracks, using midi or...

Thanks for all the replies My experience has been just that: when I record (mostly keyboards) in stereo, the field seems to get busy with parts, especially in dense mixes. There is little or no separation left between instruments unless I hard pan them, which defeats the point after all!! I...

What kinds of instruments do you record in Stereo and what do you record in Mono? How does recording in stereo affect your ability to pan the track? Why record anything in stereo? I could use your input!! If this is too newbie of a question, or if it's too complicated to deal with, and there...

Digital Grands My experience has been that the speakers you use to monitor that digital piano or piano synth patch are just as important to the sound you perceive as the actual sample. I never found a synth patch that made me think that a real piano was being played. They are all semi...
