The point of using the VCR for recording is multifaceted. 1. Six hours of non stop recording. 2. The VCR can be set to turn on as soon as I power up my equipment. 3. Cheap media (especially for the amount of time per tape) that can be stored indefinately for future perusial. I don't know how...

Why wouldn't you be able to record audio on the video track? If you shred a signal onto an electromagnetic media (regardless of the design) should it not replay those signals back to you? I'm not expecting my TV screen to become a speaker, but if I hook up a speaker to the video output after...

It has been suggested to me that I set up a VCR to record all of my practice time. Hit record when I start practicing and obviously hit stop when I'm done. My question is whether or not it pays to record one channel on both audio tracks (L/R) and one channel on the video track. Will the audio...

I don't see why the Tascam US-122 wouldn't be compatible. It sets up like a soundcard, yes? You could always pose the question at PG Music's forum. Alas, if you want to use a control surface, PowerTracks dosen't support any yet. I've been pushing for such support for years. Carl

It's true that M-Audio bought out Evolution about a year ago, but I was a fan of Evolution boards before that. I don't know if M-Audio ruined Evolution by now or not. Carl

Your MIDI controller has no internal memory or sounds. It is exactly as described, just a controller. Think of it as the equivalant to your QWERTY keyboard on your computer. It is that similar. The sounds are produced by that which is controlled. It could be a synth (either keyboard or rack...

The question you really mean to ask is how difficult is it to not attach the tier in the first place. Answer, not difficult at all. Just leave that step out when you assemble. Carl

You don't have to use all the tiers that come with an "A" frame stand. I've got two USS "A" frames and I took the second tier from on to make a three tier stand out of the other. The stand that I took the second tier from dosen't miss it a bit. Carl

That is the great thing about MIDI. Rather than creating some sort of propriatory comunication system like Korg and Roland tried and failed to do in the past, the digital comunity agreed on a standard that was open to all makes and models. Carl

Easy as pie. Connect a MIDI cable to the "MIDI Out" port on your keyboard and the "MIDI In" port on the RM Motif. Now, either layer the sounds of the keyboard and the Motif together, mute the volume on one or the other or I can tell you how to set up a little bit more complicated method that...

I'm not a fan of the M-Audio line for reasons other than the keyboard action. The controls don't suit my taste at all, especially the location of the mod/pitch wheels. I'm an Evolution man myself. I use my Roland RD-100 for weighted 88 action, but I find that the new Studio Logic controllers...

The latest and greatest! I always update when the new ones come out on the cheap. The paultry system requirements are the first and last reason that I have been using PowerTracks for years. Carl

My personal philosophy on this subject is to buy a controller that you really like. A controller with enough keys and an action that really suits you. Then, you could always buy any sound modules that strike your fancy to hook it up to. I have the Alesis QSR. Essentially the rackmounted version...

I have a 3X8 from MIDIman that works just fine. I also have the MIDI Express from Mark Of The Unicorn. Both are excellent. Carl

I use Powertracks. I don't record much real audio with it but it makes a great MIDI sequencer. What audio I have recorded didn't sound bad at all. I mostly use Powertracks because my dedicated music computer is a real lightweight. I don't know what the system requirements are for N track is...

If you pick up something like the Anatek Pocket Pedal (not a pedal at all) you might be able to edit these and any other MIDI parameters that you like. Anatek deviced go on eBay all the time. Pretty cheap too. Carl

These certianly meet your requirements: Casio M-Audio controller, very nice Very interesting from Creative The Yamaha is a good board for what you want, but these are cheaper and should still satisfy your needs. Carl

eBay auction Buy It Now for $16 Not sure about velocity sens on this one. $35 Casio BIN on eBay What do you think? Carl

With shipping you're looking at $140. I'm not sure but GC sometimes blows out these Yamahas for $70 or so. You can spend a lot less and still get what you want. Let me take a look around eBay for you. BRB. Carl

I would recommend a cheap MIDI controller to you, however you didn't sitpulate that you desired any pitch/mod controls. Therefore I recommend that you pick up any Radio Shack keyboard that takes your fancy. No, I'm not kidding. Almost all RS keyboards have MIDI outputs on them and almost all...
