Thanks a lot you guys.

Yeah, I basically want to record the "performance" (ie the MIDI data) and then use that to trigger the samples, either from DFH or something or even back through the TD8. This means I can amend the sounds of the say the snare and toms without re recording the whole track. I kinda thought...

Hiya Just wondering where the best place to situate monitors is ? Directly in front? Behind ? Left / Right ? Shut it you fool it doesn't matter as long as you can hear it ? Where do you guys put yours (monitors that is ...) ?

Doesn't even have to be Drumkit from Hell ! Even just how to record MIDI data would be great ?

OK ,here's what I'm thinking. Get some sort of (hopefully free/cheap) program that will record the MIDI data from my TD-8. Use that data to trigger some samples like Drumkit From Hell or something, and then import that as a stereo wave file into my Tascam 788. Is this all there is to it? Or...

Ringo is actually quite a good drummer. It's just with The Beatles there was no room for him to show it. True, he's never gonna be able to play like John Bonham or anyone, but then that doesn't make him as bad as too many people make him out.

I ususally do it the other way. I come up with the melodies first and then fit lyrics and the guitar around that. I personnally would like to be able to do it the same way you guys do. Maybe it's just natural we feel we're not doing it "right"?

Thanks man! That's really cheered me up - I heard some nonsense about a guy who can sing every note on the guitar and that kinda bummed me out. I'm hoping to get up to two octaves, but I'm just gonna keep practising until I'm comfortable with my voice. P.S What's falsetto ? Thanks !

Hi Anyone know of any free software that can capture/send MIDI data to/from a Roland TD8 module?

Hey Guys Just thought I'd let you know I've had a couple of lessons now and I'm already starting to notice a difference. Nothing major - just little things like more confidence, better pronunciation etc. I really wanted to work on range but apparently that will come with time - guess I'll...

Whenever I lose track (no pun intended) I stick a vocal count alongside the click. I simply say what part of the song I'm at ("Intro, bar 1", "Bridge" "2" "3" and even all the way up to "24" if the track requires it) It sounds pathetic saying these words in time, kinda like some terrible...

Thanks guys Does anyone have any quick reference guides such as "this shape = this chord, when capoed at the 4th fret" etc ? I'm a realatively new player and this would save valuable time trying to figure it out myself ! While I'm being greedy, anyone else care to pipe in with more ideas ...

Not Really, I don't really want to change the key or anything. I'm just wondering what's the best way to thicken things up - can a capo help there ?

Ok, my problem is I can write good songs (to my ears anyway !) but as I'm not too good a guitarist, they always sound repetitive. What I mean is I tend to play the same progression in the same way for the whole song. I tend to write on acoustic as I feel I can get a better feel for the...

Hi Does anybody have any True Type font or anything that would allow me to make scores and stuff ? I'm gonna start teaching drums soon and I wan't to be able to print rhythms/grooves etc for people to take away. Any ideas?

Hiya I'm about to start singing lessons as my voice is ,well, awfull. My range is pathetic - about 1 1/2 octaves. What I'm wondering is how much I should be expecting my range to increase, and how long before I should start to notice real improvements? Thanks!

Hiya I've got a similar problem when trying to record from the stereo/monitor outs from my Tascam 788. I've using WaveLab to record the songs, and the levels look fine. However, when I listen back to it the volume is really low and if I up the volume on the 788, the song distorts. The...

OK, I've been convinced I can't mix with headphones. BUT, I've spent all my budget on my V-drums and my TASCAM 788 and I cannot afford decent monitors. Someone once told me I shouldn't use home stereo speakers as monitors - why? Are they really that bad? Surely as long as the speakers are...

Thanks Guys! It's amazing how sometimes you don't think of the simple stuff ...

Great Post, BillyFurnett ! Thanks!
