Weird. Check whatever Cubase calls 'preferences' or 'options' and make sure the two devices are present the second time you open a project. If so, there's always unpluging and repluging both devices. Edit - try this with the program open, then close it and try it again. The program may not do a...

Any USB cable will work. Even 2 streams of midi data - in + out - don't add up to much by modern standards. If you go with the cheapest you can find be prepared to replace it when it breaks. On the other hand, I can't remember my last broken USB cable...

That's like Mitt Romney saying we'll just have to trust him about the contents of his tax returns. If you don't like my answer then keep searching for a way to fool the software and the hardware of your BCR and I won't trouble you again. And you're one uppity newbie, big boy.

I don't understand --- what's the point of repatching a working system? Is it to save power by not having to power up synth A? Doesn't synth A get used in your compositions? And you say you're concerned about cable mess, but there would still be the same number of midi cables involved if you...

The answer is a simple one --- you've got the wrong volume / espression pedal. The one you've got works with keyboards only. if you're going to integrate it into this system you need a different pedal. I would recommend contacting RJM and see what they say about adding a pedal to your system.

The problem is that you're expecting the midi information to merge from USB to the standard midi ports and the BCF is not set up to do that. If you have a midi in port on your interface you'll need to run a midi cable to it from the BCF midi thru port and then your keyboard should work. You may...

Try REAPER too. Studio One is a worthy product, but you'll probably find sucess in the first few minutes with Reaper. They have a plug in that sounds like a much easier to use version of the software you're missing from the Mac world. And they now have a Mac version available too!

I don't use a Mac, but I can't imagine a mature product such as Garageband being unable to reach beyond the walls of 'the box'. Have you tried a simple midi interface --- M-Audio USB Uno 1X1 MIDI Interface | Musician's Friend --- w/Garageband yet? It may well send midi clock by default. If not...

The answer is yes. Your fw1884 is highly configurable as a midi only controller - providing you have the software. What you will need are the continuous controller numbers from the Cubase mixer and a midi interface as the fw1884 was made before midi over USB was standard --- it does not have a...

Check the quantize setting. If there are notes missing entirely it may be more than that, but if you can defeat the quantization altogether it will be a good start. What are you using for a controller?

It's quite possible that the problem is not in your midi setup, it's in Shortcircuit. It stumped me for the first hour or so. Go to www.kvraudio.com and search for Synth1 or 4Front Piano or anything by HG Fortune. These are all free and 4Front Piano is cross-platform so it doesn't matter if...

Oh, stop. Getting into a discussion of the many uses of midi thru would've confused the issue and not helped shed any light on the topic at hand, If you read the original question, coolsoundman mentions a midi in and a midi out as the two midi ports available and i'm sure his 'cheap keyboard'...

What you are experiencing is called 'latency'. Make sure when you updated your ProTools software that you're using an ASIO driver. If your system doesn't already have one, download this free ASIO driver and use it to input your Axiom Pro. http://asio4all.software.informer.com/ .

First, offload the DR-202's memory via System Exclusive using http://www.midiox.com/. System Exclusive is a protocol that lets you store and retrieve data for individual midi instruments. It contains a header that identifies the device the data came from and midi ox will let you store and name...

You need the midi out of the MPC 500 to go to the midi in of Reason. You don't mention an interface, so I assume you use the XBoard to handle that part in addition to inputting notes to Reason. Hook your MPC 500's midi out to the midi in of the XBoard. Then connect the USB cable to the...

The great thing about using midi drums is that if a particular approach - the method used by a specific software program - is not working for you, you're not stuck with it. You don't need to beat your head against EZDrummer if it's not working for you. I can think of a whole bunch...

This seems to me like the point where you went wrong. Most drum trigger software is capable of detecting velocity info from audio hits. Try hooking the audio from the kick mic straight into whatever drum trigger software you are using. Or the Alesis D4 is a good alternative as it senses...

The Modartt line is worth checking out - http://www.pianoteq.com/. Instead of big samples they model acoustic and electric and other pianos --- and I've read everything from raves to 'ehhhh...' about them. They have demo versions available.

Keep your setup 'recording ready'. By that I mean concentrate on a working, functioning setup that will let you record whenever the mood strikes. Working within limitations is the best way to reveal what is really needed and what's going to be a waste of money. The Apogee Duet should be the...

Google Reaper. It's a pro-level recording midi+audio software computer program that can be used for simple stuff like recording one acoustic guitar track, then overdubbing a vocal in sync with that track. You've already got the USB mic which will work with a computer but won't work with a...
