Hey...it sounded like a lot of effort went into this...everthing sounds tight (well-timed and in-sync) and the volume levels seems good (no single instrument sticks out to me as too loud or too low in the mix). I'm not an EQ guru but I found that I liked the overall sound better when I turned my...

Hey...You might find something useful at casiotom.com

If you are going the home keyboard route I suggest that you check out the Yamaha keyboards in your price range, before buying Casio. Often they can be found in the same stores that sell Casios.

Hey sjaguar13, I got a Casio in 1983 for $500...It was built like a tank but it would sound pretty lame today (I guess the piano and organ on it wasn't that bad), at least I didn't need a manual to play it. My take on the difference between a Synth and a Workstation: Each keyboard has a...

I have an older FM keyboard (Yamaha V50, came out around 1989). The manual says that it can be set to 10 other tunings beside "equal temperament" (Pure major, Pure minor, Mean tone, Pythagorean, Werckmeister, Kirnberger, Vallotti & Young, 1/4 shifted equal, 1/4 tone, and 1/8 tone). Beside these...

When I was around 15 I found an 8-track of The Cars ("Candy-O") and at that point music became a prime focus of my life (instead of just playing in the background). For many years I used cheezy home keyboards, cheap guitars and a boombox to record my own original creations. The music I made was...

I find that the music I was exposed to between roughly the age of 14 and 23 has special meaning to me and I (almost unconsciously) judge all music I come in contact with by that music from that era of my life. Some of my favorite music is "respectable" (the Beatles) and some of my favorite music...

Hey mr. Les...to me an MP3 at 128 kbps (kilobites per second?) sounds pretty good compared with the WAV file from which it was converted)...With 128 kbps each minute = approximately 1 MB (4 minute song is 4 MB) I have heard some MP3's at 96 kbps that sounded okay but it gets quite noticable to...

I have read through some information on these two keybaords ("Keyfax Ominbus Edition" by Julian Colbeck, the sonicstate website, and bsr2002's links) and a few things jump out at me. The Korg M1 is a classic, a best seller by which all other synthesizers where measured during its first four or...

I've read comments about progressive rock (I think it mentioned Emerson, Lake, and Palmer) that mentioned the unusual meters that is often used in that music (compared to the 4/4 time that is heavily used in pop/rock)...When I try to play to a meter I am not used to it forces me create in a...

There seems to be an exception to any rule one could put on this. In a situation were I am comparing album covers and I have little knowledge of the music on the album I would personally favor having more songs over having substantial album lenth (that is I would rather have 10 songs on a 30...

I'm shooting in the dark here (I don't have a Waldorf XTK) but a lot of keyboards, along with a dial/knob, have an increase button and decrease button (often marked "+" and "-") that will increase or decrease whatever paramenters you are dealing with by increments of 1. Also if you have a number...

I use PowerTrack Pro Audio...It can do 48 tracks, $50 on their website at pgmusic.com. I also hear good things about n-tracks (and it has its own forum on this board).

Hey, if you are talking about a hosting site where you can put your own songs (and therefore have a link to direct others to so they can listen to your songs), I use soundclick.com. The basic service is free (You can pay for extra services, like better graphics on your homepage, etc.) You need...

Hey shagz78...your question is sort of unclear...are you asking about how to chose and set up your recording equipment or are you mostly asking about keyboards... I have always heard good things about the Korg M1, it was one of the first sample-based keyboards, sort of set the standard for the...

Hey...I think there is an audience for this...its like early 60's sound (I'm more into late 60's, early 80's)...It had energy and it sounded like you all were having fun making it and that came through in the recording...I would have never thought the drums were programmed, sounded like "real"...

When I was a kid in the '80s the stuff I bought was usually 10 songs on an 40 minute LP (the songs might be 3 minutes to 5 minutes...average 4 minutes)...this was before CDs...vinyl albums were still around and cassettes had become popular...I think the limit of vinyl LPs was around 40 minutes...

Hey...I don't know the goal of this kind of music (beats) ...is it for meditation or to rap over?... I like the sort of laid-back, calming feel to it... but I keep wanting to hear like a jazzy saxophone lead come in.

Yes, I have bought new stuff and watched it lose half its value in a few years and I have bought used stuff at 1/4 of its original cost. I like buying new gear because I can be confident that it hasn't had a life of abuse and I can easily return it if it doesn't work. Getting that good deal on...

Very impressive, sounds like something one would hear on a tribute album. My only negative is that, while I am a big Beatles fan, I never got into this particular song.
