Here's the link for the Mk125: http://www.sospubs.co.uk/sos/jul00/articles/evolution.htm

I bought one from a bloke in NI - £100 - after Bruce Blue Bear mentioned they were a good second hand buy. It's never struck me as noisy. The sound quality is very good. One thing I don't like about it is the decay and delay knobs offer a choice of about 16 presets each (unless I've...

The Evolution Mk125 is £50. Readily available in the UK (I've got one). Only has about twenty keys though. SOS reviewed it. The article's on line. I'd post the link but I can never get theirs to work. The keyboard doesn't work too well with Fruity BTW. It's fine with everything else. I think...

It's a catchy little lo-fi track based around a trumpet(?) sample lifted, I think, from a 1920's jazz record. They guy who made the record used to post regularly on the SOS forum. I haven't seen him on there for a while, though. He's probably too busy with all the new musical gear he bought with...

FruityLoops seems aimed more at dance music. I've heard several of Buck62's songs and they're not in that style. You can use FruityLoops for many styles of music but the concensus seems to be you need to download some samples to add to the ones which come with Fruity. Sonusman contributed some...

FruityLoops is a good drum programming program. http://www.fruityloops.com This book's good for actual grooves/patterns: Electronica Dance Music Programming Secrets by Roger Brown, Martin Griese it's expensive though. Update: just read that you do the same style of music as Buck62, so...

Ahh sorry, the one I bought is the Non-tube version. I knew about the tube one but didn't know it was also called the Ultra-Q. Sorry for getting your hopes up.

I bought the Behringer Ultra-Q from Digital Village for £80. I bought it to use on vocals while I save for a Speck or TL Audio. I'd say it's better than I expected though I don't exactly push it. Did wonders for my drum machine when I tried it on that. It seems better than the EQ on my mixer - a...

1) You could i)record over what you've already got, or ii)record as normal with the fader on zero. The result should be a blank track. 2) I'm not familiar with Gigastudio.

Record over it. Same bass line sans dodginess :)

http://www.taxi.com I asked about Taxi in the Marketing forum (I think) quite a while ago. The response was mixed. Mainly sceptical. I think one person said they'd got some work through them

Toad, that's a pity. Sounds like you'd done the hard part: getting A&R people interested in you. Would they not have contacts to people who might be interested in you solely as a songwriter, or a band which needed some songs?

The Tascam 488 is an 8 track cassette multitracker. It's not made any more but can be found used. The MkII is the most recent version. I'd probably look at the Tascam 788 digital 8 track, myself. It's well within the budget you state - $799 at Musicians Friend (that's without CD-RW).

1. Was it easy to install your soundcard? Yes 2. What did you have to do to install it? Slotted it in, screwed it in place, connected the cable to the breakout box. 3. Did you have any problems? No 4. When you got finish installin' it was your data still on your harddrive. Yes 5. How...

What sort of sound are you getting plugging directly into the soundcard? If you want it to sound like an amped up guitar you could consider a guitar amp simulator such as the POD, or the Johnson J-Station or the Behringer V-amp (I think it's called that). They'll solve your volume problems. A...

I've always thought the POD sounds better plugged into a 4-track, or whatever, with headphones plugged into the 4-track rather than headphones plugged into the POD itself. I assumed this was a reflection of its intended use i.e. as a guitar DI box rather than a headphone amp (like the Pandora).

A possible cheap option would be to get n-Track Studio recording software. It costs about $40. It's downloadable from http://www.fasoft.com plus a cheap mixer. $100 or less. Plug the mixer into the PC soundcard using the right cable, plug your mics into the mixer and record the whole band...

Doesn't seem likely. The 424 Mk III's been out at least two years now.

I can't remember if you use the faders or the Cue knobs, but it's all covered in the manual and is fairly straightforward.

Absolutely. No argument. High end gear needs taking care of properly. I think Mr. Robjohns reply took into account the fact that I was using a Tascam 424. If I was recording to 2" tape the response would have been different I think. That said if I can find a proper degausser I'm going to buy...
