    programming drums with buttons

    Mr. Brown. where have you been all my life?! I'm totally fixed on the idea of triggering samples and crap live and could never ditch out the cake for the hitech pads and midi brains. For future reference, after I aquire a Alesis controller and build my own triggers, what would it take to...

    Kickdrum Mic

    I'd go for the D112, this mic has major character. Whatever the placement, it still gave a workable kick sound (flat eq). I used a B52 and couldn't believe people would pay good money for that mic. It had lots of attack but no thump to back it up no matter what i did with it. Maybe I was dealing...

    MD8 noise

    I've utillized this track in many ways since trying to find the problem. Yes at, first I thought it was my XLR cable I swaped cables, I changed mics and tried the 1/4" input... still there. I got it home where there's nothing patched to the inputs and as soon as I open that PB / mic/line button...

    recordig vocals

    Use a decent mic (sm58beta) run it though something analog somewhere along the path to botch it alittle. I've tried distorion and usually it's too coloured with this instant buzz effect...and you kinda gotta find an old overdrive pedal or something that would be too lame for heavy guitar to get...

    Joe Meek 3Q

    I picked up a threeQ while shopping for an ART, same price range and I had low expectations for the ART. I didn't think I'd get anything decent for this kinda $$. Boy was I suprised. I paid $239 CDN, I needed this unit for sketching vocal ideas and tightening up drum tracks before transferring...

    MD8 noise

    I've got white noise on my channel one input of my MD8. When you record, arm the track, and arm the thrack to the cue mix it's there. The only work around is to record onto track three and group it to 1. (I'm talkin stereo recording onto normal minidisc) Thus I'm unable to use XLR this way and...

    Can Minidisks Skip?

    I'd mount it on some foam too, in a road case or whatever, I play in a very very loud band and everything vibtates off it's shelf in our jam room. So I'm thinkin vibration from the floor up is a main concern.

    HD24 questions

    I'm considering one of these machines but I'm used to using a radar 24. I can't afford a radar of my own but the grapfic editing is very handy. I know mackie makes a machine like that but I'm still interested in the alesis. IS there a way you swap the bay full of audio and plug it into a bay and...

    Best version of Cubase?

    DON'T GO BY ANY VERSION OF CUBASE if all you want to do is edit wav files. On my mac I run Cubase VST 5.0 and the wav editing is sooo bad, i mean sooo bad I found myself editing the raw file individually with Peak TDM which edits mono and and stereo files very very well. Depending on what...

    blank spaces on MD8 discs

    I run into this query myself, if you have a manual there is a diagram explaining this theory. disc is full with 6 songs 1-2-3-4-5-6 you delete song 1 and 4 disc TOC looks like this 1-2-3-4-blank1-blank2 but really it's like this blank1-1-2-blank2-3-4 the only reason you need to...

    Yamaha MD8 thread

    I've had mine since they first came out in 1997-98? The MD4 was already out and I was warming up to the benifits of the format when I found one sole MD8 demo machine fresh out of the box. I use it all the time, every weekend I demo my band practices onto standard stereo minidiscs with it...

    Canadians...

    Check Out Long and McQuades (sp?) they've taken right over with stores everywhere. Prices are very good and they will take the gear back, or simply rent it to you for a month. Whatever they have to do to make you sure about your purchase, that's pretty much what they told me when I was shopping...

    I want a HD24 for XMAS! is that so wrong?

    I used a IZ Radar24 machine (WOW) in a studio that was tracking my music. I am now inspired to build my home studio towards a stable dedicated machine. I'm interested in the HD24 for value. I'm not interested in midi, Virtual instruments or VST plugins. I want a machine to record 24 tracks of...

    Starting Internet Radio station

    Yes, I'm interested in this also, I figure what better way to express our support for the bands in our links page then to have them an internet radio show with all of them on it? It would be nice to see some replies here... http://www.angerkain.com/ :D

    Wanted! Baritone Strings

    I'm looking for a good brand of strings that package a baritone set of strings 11-62 with a plain G-string. I'd like to leave my intonation alone and not play the gauge game every time I restring. I've used the zakk wylde boomers, too light on top. And lately the D'addarios green, nice but...

    The Switch to 11's

    I play my main guitar dropped-b (10-54) and my baritone dropped-a (11-62). You get used to syncro bending these heavy strings on a regular basis then play an E-tuned guitar speed is no object. I've heard this myth for many years and never really bought into it. This might sound like relativity...
