(This reply cut + pasted from the 'Roland and Boss...' forum) First of all, your custom rhythm track in the BR-864 can only be transmitted to a computer in the form of midi notes, and then only over the midi out. The USB interface is reserved for audio transfer only. You need to have a drum...

It's a foolish policy to tag your question onto an old thread. Do as you did elsewhere and start a new thread each time you have a new topic or question. First of all, your custom rhythm track in the BR-864 can only be transmitted to a computer in the form of midi notes, and then only over the...

Midi is a 31.2 kilobaud serial protocol. This means the 'what note, how long, how hard' information, as well as everything else midi is capable of expressing is transmitted single file @ a speed not greater than 31.2k. It also means that there will always be SOME delay between pressing a...

If you think the vocal line sounds thin in places - or overall - have the singer double his or her part. This method has been used since multi-track recording became available and is a very good way of beefing things up. I've found that it's much better to mic an amp than to go direct with a...

Each midi input can handle 16 separate data streams. In midi-speak, these are called channels and instead of splitting cables this is how you record and control multiple keyboards, modules, soft synths and soft effects into your digital audio workstation. You only need one keyboard into a...

Plus one on Bandstand. You can never go too far wrong with Native Instruments - they do everything well. And Bandstand is only $99. .

First of all, the thread you chose to attach your post to is 3+ years old. Start a fresh thread each time you have a question. Second, that 'midi mate' cable will not work unless you have the correct USB driver software for that keyboard installed. Try the Yamaha website and see if they have a...

If you're sure it's a ground loop issue, you're probably right. I'm almost 100% sure that neither of the products you linked will solve the problem. Martin Walker did a column on this in Sound On Sound suggesting a DI box as a guaranteed solution. The problem is that a search on the SOS web...

The impedance of the acoustic guitar pickup should be basically the same as any electric guitar or bass, so you shouldn't have any trouble connecting it to the Line 6 interface. It may take a little balancing of volume and tone to get the right distortion settings, but once you get it right it...

I can. The answer is 'yes' .

Sounds like you're not quite sure what you'll be doing most - FL is primarily composing-oriented. ProTools is recording oriented and Sonar is a bit of both. IMHO you can't go wrong w/Reaper. Google it and you'll find that it's got a huge online community to answer your questions and point you...

You're talking about a USB mixer, right? Are you using the same software on both computers? Are the mixer drivers loaded on your laptop? .

Do these midi files contain information for melodic instruments or just drums and percussion? If your band expects to play along with melodic instruments they probably will tire quickly of the downright weenieness of any soundcards general midi soundset. Here a link to a Native Instrumets...

I use and recommend Xlutop's Chainer- LINK It's $60 and for that you get a nice, stable and compact VST and VSTi host with input capability but no sequencing. For sequencing you need to use it as a VST plugin inside a host like Reaper or use an external solution like an MPC. If you can find...

There is no economical way to add midi to a keyboard that doesn't have it. There are many Yamaha (and Casio, and other manufacturers) models that do have midi either on standard midi jacks, a USB interface or both. USB has an advantage in that you don't need to buy anything else to use the...

If you're not having a problem with stuck notes or hanging notes or whatever from the last song it sounds like you might be being too careful. There's nothing that you can't hear in the midi stream --- no phantom anything or ghost anything. And if you don't hear any problems you probably should...

I use Tracktion too, and I've had good luck using the sampler --- found under 'Tracktion Filters' --- and loading it up with some drum sounds, then triggering it with midi notes. You can use edit mode in Tracktion as a type of step input system. The setup for this is easy. You start by...

The Trigger Finger is not a drum machine --- it's a midi controller. You hook it up to your computer via a USB interface and it gives you a convenient way to access drum sounds and sequence drum parts in Cubase, Logic, etc. If I had $300 to spend on a first drum machine I would get the XR20. .

I second that. You might want to have a quick look at this Sound on Sound forum thread --- LINK --- just for grins. .

Sorry - LINK This is what I was trying to link to...
