Yeah, interesting problem though. Never thought of using a keyboard to play a strumming pattern like that. If you doing it for a recording, I'd say record it into a midi sequencer where you can move the "note off's" to wherever you want. If you want a way to do it live... beats the hell outta me.

I think I understand what you're asking... maybe. It depends on the sample itself. Some samples are repeatable samples and will continue until they are told to stop (usually by releasing the key). But some samples cut out or fade out by themselves because that is how they were recorded. If...

I've always liked the SR-16 though maybe it's just because I've used it more than the rest. I did, for one song I recorded, get a neat sound by pressing a mic against my house's outdoor gas tank and whacking on it.

Re: Re: That's a toughie... Doesn't sound like it's very smart for his ass to me.

I'm not sure about anyone else but I sure wouldn't trust a computer to track a live performance. Not unless it was a REALLY good computer. There's just too many things that could go wrong for my comfort. For live performance tracking I would probably recomend an ADAT or a Hard Disk...

Pandora's Box: 9/11 The darkest door opens Enough to look inside I can't believe the things I see I feel the people die The awe inspired by man The greatness of his construction Adds up to insignificance On the day if it's destruction The fire curls in the air The smoke devours the sky Souls...

Some video cameras and a few VCRs have a feature called "audio dub." This allows you to cue a tape up to a certain spot and re-record audio on the audio track of the tape without affecting the video track. The VCRs with this feature are usually high dollar jobs. But I used to have a video...

Here's a simple thing you might have already checked. The "IN" cord has to be plugged into the "OUT" port on the the keyboard and the "OUT" cord has to be plugged into the "IN" port on the keyboard.

That's not what people want. I don't want to take the orchestra playing in Carnegie Hall and put them in my living room. I want to put myself in Carnegie Hall.

What? Come on, where are all the Pink Floyd and Queensryche fans out there? Sound Effects can be a part of music. Absolutely. That's gonna be the major problem. Surround is the new kid on the block. Everyone is going to get it just to have it and use it just to say they did. I saw a...

Wow, I'm surprised how many people have said "music first" or both at once. I knew I was an oddball, I just didn't know how odd. I guess I kind of do both at once whenever I actually write. I still have to start with lyrics, but usually as soon as I start writing them a melody line presents...

That's about what I figured I might try next year. I've just got to find a board with enough channels, he has 16, I only have 8. I'm a little bit worried about actually being able to mix it in the middle of all the live noise. I guess I'll need a really good set of headphones. The reasons...

I'm not familiar with Cubase but if it's a midi sequencer, there has to be an option somewhere in the menus that takes you to MIDI settings. If you're looking in the "Audio/Inputs" section, you probably won't see any options for midi because midi isn't audio. Most of the midi programs I have...

Has anyone here ever done a live concert video? My brother has an annual party at his house with a bunch of bands and I've been in charge of making a video of the thing. This was my setup this year: Canon XL1 Digital Camera hooked via SVHS cable to an SVHS tape deck. The audio was coming from...

Sure, you could separate each drum onto a separate track if you wanted to do some extra panning effects. Each of those tracks has to be set to a different midi channel. Each midi device has 16 channels that can each contain a different instrument. But most sequencers can have multiple tracks...

Your electronic drums are going to sound exactly the same using midi as they do when you are playing them because midi will use the same sounds. Midi is just data. None of the actual sound is contained in midi data. It's just performance instructions, kind of like a player piano roll. The...

Well, if you want a keyboard to play your soundcard's patches but not the keyboard's, you have to change the control mode. It would by default be in "Local Control On" mode. Local Control needs to be off. Good luck on making that happen. I used to have a cheap Yamaha too (a PSR-300x) and...

Okay, maybe... Most keyboards and sound modules nowadays have built in effects. In some cases, I believe, these effects paramaters can be controlled externally with software. This will depend both on the capabilities of the software and the capabilities of the module. This would be easier...

Shoot, if you don't want some of those voices, send 'em to me. I could always use more voices in my head.

Chibi Nappa is right. If you're wanting to keep midi effects channels separate from audio channels before they are converted to an audio signal and apply reverb while they are separate... well I don't think it's possible, mainly because of the nature of a "reverb" effect. A good way to look at...
