Hi all, I'm interested stripping down some of the techno "beat & groove" FX on my Roland XP-30 and using them as rhythm tracks for a few recordings, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to adjust the tempos of these particular sounds. I go in to EDIT the parameters of those...

Thanks for the tip! That diskfaktory site is excellent. Only trouble is, I already bought the inkjet. I suppose I'll have to chalk that up to personal expense! :p Thanks again!

I've been looking into buying CD-Rs "wholesale" online to burn demos at home in order to market my project (which is being professionaly duplicated and mastered) but am suffering some confusion. Is there any MAJOR difference between CD-R brands? I thought I could get them in bulk significantly...

Thanks guys, for all your tips...I'll search around for those filters, it's very possible I've got a bunch of really LOW LOW end that is kind of sneaking around in the mix, then comes out and kills on certain systems. A follow up question, if I may -- I plan on getting this all mastered...

I'm in an intermediate stage of this project, and thought it wise to burn the nearly finished instrumental tracks to a CD in order to preview the mix on various systems and get a gist of what I'd be in for when I went back to it. I've been mixing on a pair of MAudio Studiophiles, and...

I'm trying to get my recordings from a Yamaha MD4s minidisk recorder into my computer as MP3s to eventually burn the final cuts onto CDs. But recently, I've not been satisfied with the headphone out-to-line-in approach. I don't know if it's my soundcard or my software, but I've been getting...

I'm done recording my songs into a 4 track Yamaha MD4s minidisk mixer/recorder. I've mixed them, and they sound great. Now I need to transfer them somehow into my computer in order to put them onto a CD. I'm wondering what people consider the BEST way to accomplish this. I want the music to...

I've been monitoring all the recording through the headphones, and I find that outputting from the headphones gives me a mix truer to what I've been hearing all along than from the master out. Plus, I've been using the headphones as an out on numerous other occasions, on other computers and...

Would anyone know if a different encoder would solve the problem? I've never had any quams with Music Match on other computers, but this is the first time I'm using it on my machine. Are certain encoders better than others? I know nothing about the field...any info is appreciated! Thanks!

I made sure to use the highest quality, 160 kbps. Are there any other standard settings I should be aware of that may determine the quality besides bitrate? Thanks for the encoder's info, I'll check it out.

I'm going from the headphone jack on my yamaha MD4s into the line-in port on my brand new SB Live Digital Sound Card using a brand new stereo cable. Everything sounds good, and the mix stays consistant when I listen to the MP3s I'm making, but there is a slight audio distortion, especially on...

Many thanks for all your replies. I think I have some things to go on now!

I have some questions about tequnique. I'm trying to make near-studio quality recordings of about 10 songs of mine, and after making test recordings of all of them, noting what seemed to work and not work, and getting some new equipment (a drum machine for perfect rythm, and clearer definition...

I'm using a Yamaha 4 track MD recorder. I'll eventually be recording vocals, and I was wondering what I should look into as far as vocal effects. All I really need is some warm reverb to help blend the vocal tracks into the mix, make it sound more 'studio' but I don't really know what kind of...

Strummer, Thanks for the post. But the hiss exists even when NOTHING is plugged in anywhere. It seems to be internal, in the computer. I dunno. Any other tips?

I'm outputting from the headphone jack of my minidisk mixer/recorder to the line-in on my computer and trying to create MP3s of the songs that have been recorded on the minidisk. I've been doing this on a friend's computer all along, but when I do it on mine, there's a really terrible hiss that...

I've lost the manual for my Yamaha MD4s, but there is all this talk of these 'virtual tracks'...it seems they may be of some use, but I have little idea what purpose they serve, or how to take advantage of them. Any info or tips on them, reguarding this machine would be greatly appreciated...

I tried switching my CUE switches. I don't even remember what they do anymore because I lost my manual, but they didn't fix the problem. I tried bouncing again, and noticed that when two tracks of aproximately the same volume/gain level (just in or below red) are put together, the new combined...

I'm working with a Yamaha MD4. I don't know what I'm doing wrong here, but whenever I bounce tracks, even just two at a time with simple backup vocals, the end result yields a LOT of distortion. Lowering the volume while bouncing seems to help, but I can still hear the fuzziness cutting...
