    help with selecting a usb audio interface for laptop

    thanks but those suggestions are more for building a daw from scratch though, i already use a fostex d90 & R8 for recording. I just need a cost effective usb interface that doesn't sound like crap and has zero latency so that I can use virtual instruments etc, i have nothing to mix down to now...

    which controller keyboard?

    any opinions from anyone? model numbers etc? is there any reason to increase my budget or will an extra £50 or £100 not make any real difference in this price range? thanks

    which controller keyboard?

    Hey lads I need a little help. Originally I was wanting an upright piano but it is going to be almost impossable to get one into my flat, so I'm stuck with the synthetics. I only have around £200 to spend at the moment so I was going to try and get the best 88 key fully weighted hammer-action...

    Evans vs Remo

    My voyager kit came with stock remos, clear thin things. I loved the bright tone. I bought some replacement remos & the weld was too big on the rims. It must have inhibited a good tune & they also scraped all the rims including scratching the paint off of my lovely new snare :mad:. Ended up...

    *graded* drum scores ??!?!???!??

    I'm moving away from playing by ear as I'm wanting to write scores for all instrumentation before I start recording. I also want to build a recording up via a final take of drums, then of bass etc. Some of my stuff is unexpected & a little complex at times & theres no way I could remember...

    acoustic upright piano removal/handling advice

    I guess this is the best place to ask this question. A little background; I would love an acoustic upright piano, I live in a third floor flat and would normally go for a high end hammer action keyboard for ease of moving. The problem is though I can't afford a keyboard. I could buy a decent...

    *graded* drum scores ??!?!???!??

    I'm looking for drum score books that have graded peices to play along to, I want to learn to sight read drum notation but it seems the lack of material available is making things more difficult. I have found a couple of sites that have user uploaded scores but they are not graded or varied...

    which stick grip?

    The drummers I've watched with traditional all seem to have smaller kits which are closer to the drummer & angled more toward the player (except the snare). It looks so much more relaxed and effortless no matter how fast they play, perhaps the kit needs to be tweeked in terms of positioning for...

    which stick grip?

    Jojo Mayer's DVD on stick control seems to be well admired around here so I'll have to get it. I was really looking for opinions as watching videos on youtube etc is great but they seem to be unbiased toward any grip, or give all the good points of each grip & still leave you wondering...

    muting an acoustic kit

    i've seen plenty of these rubber type pads that are attached to drum kits to silence them for practice, do they actually silence the kit completely though? Is there one brand that's better than the others or are they all the same? can someone explain the mecanics of how they attach to the...

    which stick grip?

    You're right, I do have technique problems but this is what I'm wanting to change with all of your help. So far I've not educated myself enough with regard to "correctness in playing" I think perhaps rules should be learned before being broken & that's what I'm aiming for. I do know that each...
