There is a device you can get at most hardware stores that you plug into an AC outlet to test how it's wired. It will show if the hot and neutral are reversed and if the earth ground is present or not. Either of these situations can cause issues with digital equipment and can also cause the...

As others have said, your computer seems like it should handle the recording process. And, with some of the help you've already received, it looks like you might be on the road to getting this figured out. But, there are some simple maintenance things you should consider, also. Because most...

You seem to be OK with basic rhythm, but it's obvious that you lack confidence. You don't like how your voice sounds because you don't hear it as everybody else does. Nobody likes their own voice, when they hear it, so don't worry about that. But, the sample was very rough and as others have...

U da man, RAMI!:thumbs up:

There are no rules on this. When doing covers live, sometimes the audience prefers to hear the song as originally done. There are some songs I hate hearing done any other way. But, it's personal preference, mostly. Some bands make a name for themselves by tweaking tunes and essentially...

Oh, you're wrong, my friend. RAMI makes the rules. This tune is 4/4.:thumbs up:

Just what is your education in music theory that you can say I'm wrong? I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying it depends on how you count it. I think you're being a little bit rude and there's no need for that.

OK, going back and reading some of these posts...this one in particular, I now understand what everybody is talking about. Not having anything else to go on, I was putting each note on a down beat and that then gives you a 5/4 pattern. Even my sister, a music teacher and several of her friends...

Those aren't triplets, they are two eighth notes. The third note is "one" of the next measure. Sorry, I don't have the ability to bring up a staff to show this, but I'll see what I can do. I have to go to work now, but maybe you all can fight it out. If not, I'll see if I can maybe post...

I've tried to follow all of the posts in this thread, but at this point, I think you have all gone loopy with your oopappas, prime time, etc. No offense meant...just an observation and I've enjoyed the humor. This is NOT in 4/4. I'm sorry, but you can't just put a metronome up to some music...

Have you thought about a do it yourself cable? 6 foot won't cause much interference, so maybe go to your neighborhood cable store, get the cable and make it yourself. You've already done the soldering and that's the hard part. Or have you searched for somebody to make the cable for you...

I don't post much...but I know about basic hardware issues with computers. You found out that when there is no reason for something to happen, it is usually something that's easy to fix. Simple dust can do some very nasty things on the inside of a computer. And if you keep the computer on the...

I'm going to go out on a limb and say my keyboard is fixed. It hasn't been that long, but the frequency of the problem was often enough that I'm sure I would have experienced it by now. I don't know how long it will stay fixed, but I can do more cleaning on those contact bars, if necessary...

Well, so far, so good. I did nothing but clean off the two contact bars above and below the spring on each note. Arrows point to some of these contact bars. The tarnish wasn't very thick, and was pretty easy to get off. Because I couldn't see the under side of one bar, I just used the same...

I did my best to clean off any tarnish on the contact bars, both upper and lower, where the spring hits them. I did my best to leave each section above and below the springs shiny. It didn't take much, which tells me the discoloration isn't that thick. I couldn't do much with the springs...

I have no issues with a soldering iron. I've done quite a bit of that, on circuit boards, cables, etc. My problem is none of them really seem to look any different than the others so if there is a tension connection to this, it's very minute. I do think the tarnish could be part of the...

No problem, if you don't know much about keyboards. I thought sure I knew what the problem was, only to find another kind of system when I opened the keyboard up. Oh, it's not an ESQ1, it's an SQ1 Plus (which is basically the same as an SQ1). I think the ESQ1 is a late '80s keyboard. The SQ1...

Well, I've found out some bad news. It seems the SQ1 doesn't have the rubber bubble things with the carbon contacts. I've taken my keyboard apart and there is nothing even close. The SQ2 does have this kind of setup, but not the SQ1. From what I can tell, there is a spring that makes contact...

Man, I've been gone for a few days, and I come back to almost a step by step class on what I need to do. This is great. I do agree that my situation is probably the rubber sensors under the keys. I've been doing some reading on how all of that works and thinking of where this full note on...
