    locking tuners

    Sperzels RULE!! Just don't let the knurled knob get loose and fall off in a dark bar,'cause with it goes the pin that presses up against your string and it's time for a new tuner...

    880 ex aux send routing

    Hi,the AUX Send can be used as 2 seperate mono sends IF you pan each one hard left and right so that the signals don't get mixed.Set AUX Balance to L63 for the tracks you want to send to one outboard box,and R63 for the ones you want to send to another box.You may notice that you start to run...

    Roland VM7200 plus VSR880,s

    I have a VSR880 and a VM3100 Pro mixer.Can I use normal SCSI cable to hook them up or does it absolutely have to be the Roland cable?

    R-BUS cables

    I was looking at the R-Bus connector on the back of the VSR880 and it looks just like a SCSI connector.Since no one in my area has any R-bus cables in stock,am I taking a risk if I hook up my gear with a regular SCSI cable?

    That Syncing Feeling

    Anyone have an advice on a way to sync a VS880EX,a VSR880, a VM3100 Pro,and two MC50 MKii sequencers? The only new element in this chain is the VSR,I've been doing fine running the MC50's off a sync track on the EX,but now it appears I'm going to have to use MTC to slave the VSR to the EX,so I...

    880EX recording tips anyone?

    44.1 vs. the alternatives Re the sampling rate,I feel that in the case of machines like the VS series it's best to start off in 44.1khz 'cause any extra high end you might get from using 48 would probably get lost when you go through your mixdown deck's sample rate converters.Like it or...

    VS880EX compression/limiting

    Yeah,I use 'em sometimes.The presets for Vox and Bass are a good starting point that you can tweak to suit your needs for a particular track.I also like some of the MTK presets,again,i mess around with the freq.and threshold to suit the track.

    B String

    The main reason is to allow maximum use of all strings when chording.Think about it;if the b string was tuned to C,then the E string would become an F,so when you would make an E chord with your fingers,you'd get E,B,E,G#,C,F.Yuk!

    Slaving one drum machine to another?

    I don't remember offhand what the 707 is,but if it's got MIDI too you're in business.Program your stuff,hook up the MIDI out of the 707 to the Alesis MIDI in,and go to the menu or page where you can assign the MIDI Note Numbers.You want to align the numbers so that when your 707 sends out a note...

    To buy or not to buy...used VS-880EX...

    By my count you have a total of 8 sources in your post that you want to record.The 880EX has 6 analog and 2 digital inputs,so you'd have to factor in the cost of an external A/D converter lika Midiman Flying Cow/Calf and maybe a mic pre or 2 to do it,but it can be done.I've had my EX since...

    jazz guitar amps

    The Ampeg Reverberocket reissues are good bang for the buck.I found a used one in great condition for $300.All tube,with Groove Tubes 6L6's,one 12 inch speaker,and the reverb KILLS,if you're into that.

    Gibsom ES335

    Both the vintage ones and the reissues are good guitars,but both are overpriced IMO.I bought a new one in 1979 for $660 with case.There is a stereo guitar that has the same body as the 335,it's called the ES355,don't think it's still being made though.

    880EX recording tips anyone?

    I've had my 880EX for 2 years and IMHO the single greatest improvement you can realize is to get your hands on a good A/D converter like a Flying Cow or similar and plug your mic/pre into it and go in through the S/PDIF input on the VS.As far as the learning curve goes,try this...

    Zzounds

    Sounds like a good incentive for those of us fortunate enough to live near some good music stores to get up off the couch and go visit 'em so you can actually touch and hear the gear before buying,even if it means tacking the sales tax on to the price.Plus you usually have a grace period to...

    Press Shift and UTIL together and use the buttons to the right of the screen to scroll 'till you get to Mute.The Mute might be ON for those tracks,if it is you need to turn it OFF by using the dial.
