Dude...like, did you notice that Uladine already posted that link?:D :cool: How many people actually read the whole thread?:rolleyes: LOL That link is so good it's worth posting twice. The more I look at it the more I think the ddrum 4 would be too much of a hassle in real life due to the...

Hey Longwave, do you own one? Have you heard the downloadable samples, or just the ones that come with it? Are the downloadable samples free? Can you answer any of the other question in my first post? Thanks.

It's the same sort of thing as a v-drum module: a sound module dedicated to playing drum sounds triggered by piezo sensors. ddrum is the company, like Roland, and the ddrum 4 is their latest and greatest(I think), like Roland's TD-10. ddrum also makes highly reputable triggers for mounting on...

According to "SCSI Vs. IDE Bus Mastering For DAWs" by D. Glen Cardenas and Jose M. Catena, probably the most comprehensive text I've ever seen on this subject(not that I've seen much): "The first PIIX imposed this limitation even across channels. The PIIX3 removed this limitation across...

Thanks guys. I've heard the cymbols were the main drawback to modules in gerneral. That's one of the reasons I was interested in ddrum. I've read in a couple places that they have the best cymbols- not necessarily good, but the best. I've read lot's of good stuff about Hart but never thought...

In apple's defence somewhat, it does make a little sense to compare their machine to an off-the-shelf PC since an apple is basically off-the-shelf. Although many of us here have built machines every bit as good an apple costing twice(or even thrice?) as much, there is something to be said for...

Any input would be appreciated. I've read that ddrum may have better cymbals. I wish someone would explain the whole concept of how the ddrum 4 works. You can download new samples, right? So is this thing really a sampler? Is that essentially what the rolands are also, or are they some kind...

I don't much about what you're asking except the "one apple equals two PeaChes" myth. Over in the Sonic community forum they've had some pretty nasty arguments about Apple vs PC. None of the hard core Apple people dispute the *fact* that for almost all apps including audio, an apple and PC of...

How would a sampler handle varied dynamics? For instance, would you need different samples for hitting a snare hard and hitting it soft, or would it somehow vary the volume at which the same sample is played back?

I just started playing with a drummer using a Yamaha DTexpress kit. We played a Roland DT5 at the store and realized how much better we could be doing. I'd like to improve our recordings by running his midi tracks through better sounds. In the interest of saving money, how comparable are...

This has been discussed quite a bit on the sonik forum. Many people have asked this question and it seems few people are ever successful or satisfied even after it's explained. Recording the fx is even harder. Among other things, you have to check "input monitoring" under Audio>Audio...

Awhile back, someone named Brad Gallagher of Professional Sound and Light Inc. posted "10 Home Recording Secrets." I was just reading this yesterday as I'm contemplating buying my first kick drum mic. It says: "Use a good kick drum mic. If you're on a budget, this will be either a shure beta...

Is XP a requirement? I've been using 98se and Logic w/o any problems. I'd like to move to SX, but I'd really like to stay w/ 98 unless you guys think that's unwise for SX or any other reason.

If you had paid $600 for PC software just 3 weeks before the company was bought out by Apple, you may feel a little like someone had a gun to your back.

I apologize. I've done a poor job with this thread from the start. This is all I should have quoted. Please forget all the system building price crap: The point I'm trying to make is that saying a 400 mhz mac is as fast as a 800mhz P3 is a huge lie, or is it? ... and I don't want to hear...

The problem isn't just that apple lies, it's that mac users are accomplices. PC users are skeptical, are quick to point out hype, and are highly critical. For instance, excepting the general populace, most people were well aware of the (initial?)limitations with P4 and the new type of ram...

sigh...

It blows me away to think of trying to make all those sounds work in and out like that. Very cool. Great song, great sound. Do you have an idea of all the sounds in your head before hand, or do you get a basic song down first and then start adding all the fun elements, experimenting as you go...

I agree Apple has a nicer GUI. I can understand how some may say OSX is superior to Windows. And it's nice to buy a well setup system off the shelf, which arguably is not possible w/ pc daw's. Apple may even be more stable. I don't know, but my general feeling is that most mac users believe some...

Just for the record, I didn't write any of that "novel." It is confusing because the part I quoted basically starts with a quote. I probably shouldn't have quoted the whole post. Only the first couple paragraphs are interesting really.
