I think all the drivers on this box are within a couple years old. I regularly update Windows but I haven't done the svc pack 2 yet. I updated Media Player within the last year, I believe that updates Direct X. Is there anything I can do to manipulate Direct X somehow and see if it's the...

Thanks James, I think I'm seeing the light. This means you can arm several tracks, assign them different midi channels, and open only one instance of Edirol, as long as it's polyphony/multimbrality can handle it. Do'oh! I 've been opening a new Edirol for every track. Live and learn. Bill...

Thanks your post, James. I see that your method would work fine. My focus, however, is not how to get the DX200 working in my tracks. I was just thinking I'd like to noodle around on the DX200 for a second, figured I could just address it with a different midi channel (a couple button pushes)...

Hello: HS2004XL Edirol PCR80 keyboard Yamaha DX200 sound module I'm trying to play the keyboard, have midi go to the DX200, and NOT the Edirol Virtual Synth track in HS. I've set the keyboard transmit channel to ch. 3, the DX200 to recieve ch. 3, and then, in HS track view, on the Edirol...

Thanks, everyone: Phyl: I agree with you and chessrock. I'll bet that out of all the factors considered, improving my recording technique would probably make as much or more difference than upgrading any equipment. I'm working on it. However, it's Christmas and I'm making a list for Mrs. Claus...

$250 for a 1010 would be mighty fine, thanks for the tip. I think the guy's name was Aaron but it might be Arend, something like that. I'm not dissin' him, who am I to say what's what in the wacky subjective world of audio nitpicking, I just mentioned it because it seems to be pretty much...

Thanks Wade. The 1010 costs more than I want to spend right now. I may pick up a Delta44 and run it with my 2496 just to give me the extra in/outs. Here's an interesting tidbit, I just got off the phone with a guy at Sweetwater who informed me that my Mackie pres are better than the DMP-3 and...

Thanks for the detailed post, Wade. I didn't realize there would be much of a difference between the 2496 and 1010. Two more questions: Where can I buy a mic that allows returns. I bought my at3035 from Guitar Center (through the mail), and they stated that the law prevented them from...

Oh sure, and not get a shiny new toy?

Thanks for responding, everybody. Middleman: The Audiophile? I was thinking that was one of the strongest links in the chain. I'm only judging by what I've read on this forum, though, I have no personal experience with other pci interfaces.

Thanks, DJL. I just bought that AT3035, pretty much a disappointment other than the fact that at least it gives me a different tonality than the SM57 and Rode NT-3 (forgot to mention the Rode). Now I'm scared to buy more mics, it's really difficult when you can't try them out first. I rarely...

DJL I guess some adjectives that would describe what I looking for more of would be clarity, presence, airyness, detail. I have two acoustics, a Martin HD-35 and a Guild f-30 (spruce, mahogany), both nice sounding. I play around with mic positioning and gain lelvels, but it seems to me I'm...

If you were going to upgrade one item in this chain, with recording acoustic guitar in mind, and wanted to keep the cost in the $200-$350 range, what would you purchase? sm57 at3035 mackie 1202vlzpro audiophile 2496 cakewalk hs2004xl wharfedale 8.2 diamond pro actives Possibilities I'm...

Manning: I wasn't very clear in describing the situation. Here's how I work: I keep a song called "Practice" that I use as a template, with blank tracks. I fire up the the computer, open up "Practice" hit record and play whatever I feel like playing, be it practicing or noodling around...

Here's my stuff: Athlon 1800+ 1000 megs ram WinXP nice biostar MB (can't remember exact model, but it's fairly recent) Maxtor 7200 HD for audio WD HD for non-audio Audiophile 2496 Mackie 1202vlz pro Shure 57 AT 3035 Radio Shack 58 clone that sounds pretty good! I mostly just record myself...

I'm presently using mackie VLZpro with a Rode NT-3 and SM57. My primary uses are vocals and acoustic guitar but I'd like something that will sound decent for recording a bluegrass band's practice sessions. My budget is small. From the great responses I got in another thread, I'm thinking of...

No banjo, they're illegal in this county. Thanks, everybody, very helpful. Track Rat, I was thinking about the 4033 after reading a million threads on this site. It seems like it would be a step up in quality at the sacrifice of omni, might be worth the trade-off to me. Seems like it would be...

I understand that the Cad will have an advantage over the 3035 because of it's omni capability, but is it's overall sound quality going to be equal to the 3035 ?

Thanks, Big Kenny, I'll look into the Cad m179. I'd like to add one more point to my question, I'm hoping the mic I get will be good for me to record just myself playing my HD-35 dreadnaught or Raimundo (classical).
