Yep, that's it. There's 64 performance slots on the A90, and you can program each slot for a particular song, e.g. Slot20-"Doors tribute"-60s Organ, lots of verb Slot45-"My Blues Jam"-Keyboard split, left hand plays bass guitar, right hand plays GrandPiano2 etc... Then you can create a chain...

I have a Roland A90 keyboard which weighs about 65 pounds and I'm tired of carrying it around! So I've been looking at compact light-weight soundless 88 key Midi keyboards (e.g. Fatar TMK88) to hook up to my sound module (XV2020) Only problem is I've been used to 64 user programmable...

(being happy to spend $200 on a kick mic is my kind of budget :p ) fwiw, i've been looking at the Electro Voice N/D868, there's a decent review here which compares it against a few of the other mics mentioned.

Personally I think if you're performing your own song and you've spent time thinking about the lyrics, then just 'singing' it is a little bogus... because as with speaking, you would have picked up a singing accent. Play back your recordings and you're likely to pronounce words like the singers...

Good prejudging, I don't buy anything fr*nch for example (when's the last time you saw an old fr*nch car on the road? and they smell) The alesis fireport to go with the recorder is a nightmare plug and prey device, I've had 3, all had problems, but the recorder is quality I tell you! Every week...

The HD24 is a rock solid recorder, yet you still need a computer for decent editing :rolleyes: I'm looking at loads of outboard gear; ADAT mixer, multi channel compressors, gates, EQ you name it and putting the files back on the recorder for mixing. If the HD24 had a cool GUI editor and could...

Keeping calm when you play back an initial mix and you notice the guitarist adjusting their volume knob ready for the next take (how many times have you got to explain before a court accepts your plea of manslaughter based on diminished responsibility!)

Thanks boingoman, that's the first time I've seen in writing my long term confusion and frustration when setting up a mixer! expecially when running two mixes, it's like the uncertainty principle or something, the more control you have on one mix, the less control you have on the other. Yep, if...

I've told everyone we had flames coming out of the speaker (just to sound more rock 'n roll lol) but to be honest there was just a serious amount of smoke! But we use all active speakers now instead of power amps, and knowing there was electricity being pumped into a speaker which was about to...

I agree, just the reason I was interested in limiting is because we smoked one of our monitor speakers at a gig a few weeks ago.... and I wasn't sure why until last night. Too hot a signal obviously, but I was especially careful on the night in setting the correct gain for each channel (using...

Thanks for the responses, as always most appreciated. You've confirmed that if I need to compress everything properly I'll need a dedicated compression channel (and therefore a dedicated rack of compressors!) for everything that needs compressing... (this sounds obvious but when there's no one...

I've been having a few puzzlements going around in my head lately about the number of compressors I need and how to set them up... this is mainly a question for a live set up really, but would be handy to know for outboard mixing as well In my band everything comes out of the PA (vocals, guitar...

Yeah, the sample light on the HD24 flashes if it doesn't detect the special HR bit in the ADAT stream... this could be because the sending device doesn't have a clue about HR, or the sending device is fully acquainted with HR yet doesn't bother to set the bit. So if your mackie is happily...

Thanks for the reply Southside Glen, a very balanced view of the whole thing... I've been a bit frantic lately trying to get a demo mix sorted asap and naturally trying to make it sound as 'professional' as possible, and you've calmed me down a lot by saying the heavy use of plugs approach is...

ADAT! *puts hand on cruds head to stop him punching me* The HD24 will start smuxing when the EC2 is installed and initialised to either 88.2 or 96 kHz sampling rate. As double width is being used, the existing ADAT ports for channels 1-8, 9-16 & 17-24 are then reassigned to channels 1-4, 5-8 &...

If you're sure it's a problem with the driver then I guess you can only complain to Alesis (or revert your OS to an earlier version :eek: ) Just I was desperately trying to get my first fireport to work by re-installing the supplied software and drivers, re-installing my firewire drivers...

OK, if you feel like you cannot possibly track any better (without moving to a specially treated studio of course and spending all that you have).. i.e. you already have 24bit recording, condensors for your drum overheads, 57 on snare, going direct with guitars pods (i'm talking about tracking...

Yep, it is quite straight forward, (although quite slow, it chugs compared to moving equivalent sized files around on an everyday PC) and it does seem to require an extravagant amount of buffer space to complete the operation. I experimented cutting and pasting about 20 minutes of an 8 track...

Jeesh... I've been struggling with my new fireport all night (problem being the software is just unable to see the drive) ... so I've come here and just read your firewire cable was DOA, so i just switched it for another I had lying around, and it worked first time! (thanks loads for that small...
