This is the ground-floor for any computer music setup --- a good or at least workable soundcard / input / gateway to build on. You could try one of these. As far as your problems getting a decent guitar sound on your Tascam, try one of these along with taking legionserial's advice and...

The UX2 records only 2 things at a time but if you only need to multitrack yourself and not record a live band, you are in Line6's target audience. I've not heard of any issues with the UX2, but you might benefit from searching the forums here and see what you come up with. Looks good to me...

I have the next Boss machine up the ladder (the BR-600 eight track} and I love it. The built-in mics sound great, there's no moving parts and it's built very well. The Micro BR is similarly well built, also has no moving parts and I'm sure the built-in mic is quite adequate for general...

You've chosen a good drum machine ---LINK --- and you're probably not going to find it for less in the next six months or so. The keyboard you want is a good one too, but it's in high demand and fairly substantially out of your price range --- LINK. If this will be your first keyboard and money...

Be wary of the info on the 'tweakheads' site. There used to be some not only kinda misleading but actually downright wrong information on there. If you use it for what it is --- a general guide written by a guy who's main focus isn't midi --- then it's fine. .

If the level you get straight from Reason satisfies your needs and fulfills you requirements, then no further processing is necessary. In the words of Joe Meek, if it sounds good it is good. .

Get the UX2. It's an interface that will let you record onto your computer and a set of guitar processing tools in one, The pod X3 you mentioned is not first and foremost an interface though it does have a USB port for easy access to your recording software. It would be a good second purchase...

I miss those days too, but there are SO many freeware and low-$ plugins that will distort your audio and do it in a controlled, repeatable way that I have gone the hi-tech route and use my Presonus Firebox preamps with TriDirt, Camel Crusher, TDA DT424, TubeBooster, TLs SaturatedDriver and...

I bought this on my local craigslist about a month ago and paid what was, in retrospect, too much for it. The next week I found out that my largest freelance client was closing their doors forever. I had to rethink my plan to find a competent analog professional to repair the Mini Sequencer...

Yes --- the Reason mixer distorts like any other mixer when pushed into the red. I've found it necessary to first finish the part in Reason and second use the 'export loop' function to make a .wav file. Then I take it into a stereo editor (Sound Forge, Wavelab, GoldWave, even Audacity} and bump...

This http://plugins.gersic.com/ is the best freeware plugin database I've found. They have a huge section for drums --- everything from the new 'arachnid' which is like a small version of Native Instruments 'Battery' to a fun little thang called 'easy-beatbox 01' which is basically an...

I have a BR-600 and it has balanced inputs for dynamic microphones. The only thing you should be using the Mackie board for is to provide phantom power for the condenser mic and I'm not sure you can turn the Alesis microphone preamps down far enough to get out of the way, so to speak. The source...

Use the 1/4" out of the mixer and the RCA inputs of the soundcard. Adjust the volume on the mixer. You'll need to balance the mix before recording it if you have more than one microphone coming into the mixer. Audacity will record only a stereo (left and right) pair at a time. Learn by doing...

You can get this information out of your EZDrummer manual. If it shows a midi continuous controller number for each of the individual drum faders then it will be easy to interface a BCF2000 with the software in the way you describe. If no continuous controller data is specified in the EZDrummer...

On page 21 of your KX88 manual there is a chart of the way to set the individual buttons to send any program change from 1 to 128. Start from button A1 and select the program change number you desire, then save it and repeat the process for all 32 slots. At the time the KX88 was made the Yamaha...

The drums are the best part of the mix. You need to dial the distortion on the guitars WAY down or else they'll have that crispy irritating top end. I don't think there's any chance to save this particular take. But try again when you get together next time --- and bring up the drums a little...

Just cause you're a noob doesn't mean you get to post snotty answers. If you want respect, give respect. Reason IS worth it. It does so much more than FL ever could. I use it every day, and it's flexible enough so that I can imagine using it for the next 5 years. With all the Refills...

You'll need to update your Wordpad document to read: (Version 2.0 is out now and you have 30 days to find out if it's a good fit for your needs. Then they ask for a $50 shareware fee for non-commercial use.) .

Be a little clearer about what you've got right now. Do you mean that you already own a midi controller? If so, what kind? What sequencing software do you own? Mac, PC or Linux? What soft synths do you have now? What is your budget for another soft synth/plugin? You say you don't want to...

If they need to cripple their demo in that draconian way they must be hiding something. It's not a good sign when a demo version has more than just 'can't save' as a limitation. On the other hand, there are a bunch of reviews on their web site and all say --- to varying degrees --- that it's a...
