    build your own effects?

    I was thinking about trying to build my own guitar effects boxes, just to give me something to do? Is it worth it, and will they work, and so on? Where can I get circuit layouts on the net, and are they public domain? Cheers, Jim

    Band name?

    what's more... changing to the chemical brother's leave home (on exit planet dust) and listening on headphones has a really disconcerting bird song sample all the way through which at 3am tells you it's time to go to bed... hmmmmm...

    mp3s

    thanks a lot, it's a really annoying effect cos I'm trying to put everything I've got onto my HD for ease of use. Just out of interest, a tecchy question: as elevate said, it's still there at higher bitrates. Is it just a concession you have to make to endoding to MP3 and losing all that sound...

    mp3s

    sorry again if I'm posting this in the wrong area and yeah I've tried searching for this but it came up with way too much for me to wade thru. it's a simple (maybe) Q about mp3s. I've noticed that when I try and encode my own stuff, and rip my cds as well, to mp3, some times you get a strange...

    software sampler and midi keyboard?

    tried these questions in the computer/soundcard forum but got booted into here, so here goes... Firstly, does anyone know of a good program that simulates what a sampler does? Easy to use that I can record in real time to Cubase or something else? And preferably cheap or freeware (I wish!). For...

    MIDI keyboards (plus a fruity loops Q)

    Hello. Just wondering what would people recommend as a CHEAP MIDI keyboard-controller. I'm not looking fopr anything fancy, or anything that plays it's own stuff standalone, if you get me. Just a keyboard to input into cubase/fruity loops, with the usual wheels and things to control stuff. Can...

    "sampler" program?

    another question seeing as I'm here: another question as well as the one above I'm having a problem with my Soundblaster live 5.01. When attempting to run MIDI synth drums from cubase (you know, the old channel 10 etc way) the drums (in fact everything from the MIDI synth, eg piano whatever)...

    "sampler" program?

    Hi, just a quick one: Anyone know of a PC program that sort of works the way a sampler/turntable would. I know it sounds really strange, but I'd really like to be a able to take a WAV file or whatever and some how scratch it in real time (by swishing the mouse around or something), and do other...

    cubase and monitor latency

    little Q about soundcards

    I am finally getting round to buying myself a PC for making music, just an amateur set-up, but I'd just like a little advice on soundcards. People on this board have recommended the Midiman Audiophile for the digital and a cheap Soundblaster Live to do any MIDI stuff. The place I'm getting the...

    newbie getting a PC in the New Year

    plus... I presume you mean Midiman Delta Audiophile 2496 (just checked their website) - they say about 230 USD, but as it's straight from them they're probably the most expensive :-)

    newbie getting a PC in the New Year

    running two cards thanks for the info. Just wondering though - if I ran two soundcards (one midi, one audio), would this massively drain system resources - i.e. presumably if you have a load of digital audio tracks running simultaneously, this would be quite a load on the system, would having...

    newbie getting a PC in the New Year

    Hi, this is probably goint ot be quite long and you've heard it all before, but... Recently I started messing round on a friend's PC, with Cakewalk and Cubase that I'd borrowed off someone. Just plugged a little rubbish lapel mic that i got for my Minidisc, stuck it (literally, with blu-tack)...

    cubase starter

    I am thinking about getting a new PC with cubase and / or cakewalk. I think this question applies to both so i'll put it here: I tried both programs out on a friends PC to see what they were like, just using a basic SOundblaster 32 (I think" soundcard - it's a new PC so it's a recent card...
