The £50 25 key Evolution Mkk125 Dance station might be sufficient for a one finger keyboard player. Here's a review: http://www.sospubs.co.uk/sos/jul00/articles/evolution.htm

I listened to the MP3 - then pulled out my copy of Pablo Honey for another listen. Can't help you with that drum roll. I spent quite a bit of time trying to simulate just that kind of drum roll in Fruity, mainly adjusting the volume of individual notes. But I gave up when everything I tried came...

The Tascam 788 should be within your budget. It's a digital 8 track with 4 inputs. Here's a review: http://www.sospubs.co.uk/sos/feb01/articles/tascam788.asp I don't know how it would compare quality-wise with ADATS.

Okay, the link worked. I still can't listen to it though. Not until I go home. I'll get back to you if I have anything constructive to add.

That link didn't work - it said page unavailable. I can't listen to MP3s anyway. I really am at work. Sorry :(

I'm pretty sure the effects board has to be bought separately - unless you buy secondhand - and costs about £200. That's definitely the case with the S2000 and I think the S3000XL is the same.

not sure if I've understood you correctly, but you might be able to do what you're talking about using two snares and the Shift function. This is found at the same place as the volume "editor".

You can do a "techno" drum roll by adjusting the volume on each note of the roll. Click on the button immediately to the right of the Shuffle slider and use the volume edit option. You can have two snares play in the same place by adding two snares to the step sequencer then highlighting your...

Pushing it into the red's supposed to be a good idea on analogue recorders, a disaster on digital.

Recording the tracks then mixing them later is what multitrackers are all about. i.e. on an 8-track you record all the tracks, which are then stored on the recorder's hard disk, then mix them when you've finished. If you're the guy currently using the "Les Paul" method you'll find the difference...

That's up to you. You can record with the mixer just as a "go between". i.e. no EQ or effects. Then add reverb etc. on the PC. This gives you more opportunity to tweak the effects etc. and get it right. But you can also record with effects and EQ if you're confident, for instance if you have an...

That's a good point. For as little as $50, or even less, you can turn your PC into a powerful multitrack recorder. e.g. n-Track Studio, available here: http://www.fasoft.com

Try using the Line-in input on the soundcard rather than the mic input. Many people have reported having this problem. It's because the mic input is designed for use with cheap computer mics. The Line-in on a soundcard is usually a stereo input.

For recording you should just need a cable going from the mixer to your soundcard, and some software. n-Track Studio is cheap and good. Lots of people here use it, enough for it to have it's own forum. You can read about it and buy it here: www.fasoft.com. A CD burner would be a good idea if...

I've got one and have been happy with it. It's been replaced by the Delta 44 and is no longer supported by M-Audio. The sound quality's good. I paid £150 (plus £40 for the breakout box) and it was money well spent. If it packs up I'll probably replace it with a Delta 44, otherwise I'll stick...

it's just about the only multitrack software that will run on my antiquated PC. Very stable - V 2.2. Easy to use. I've never used the Live option though.

Soundcraft Spirit F1, 8 mono channels each with insert: http://www.soundcraft.com/products/spirit_f1.html Around £270 in the UK. Here's an old review: http://www.sospubs.co.uk/sos/1996_articles/dec96/spiritfoliof1.html

There's also the 25 key Evolution Mk125 Dance Station - £50. Don't know what that is in dollars. Tiny but okay for non-keyboard players. Here's a review: http://www.sospubs.co.uk/sos/jul00/articles/evolution.htm The reviewer liked it enough to buy one.

If they're selling it as a CD-RW for the 788 it should work as a CD-RW with the 788. Maybe there's something buried in the the 788 manual or in the CD-RW manual. There is a forum for the 788 on the Tascam site. It's supposed to be a good one. You could try asking your question there. Mention...

Should be something of use in amongst all this lot: http://www.studiocovers.com/articles10.htm
