A few questions: 1. I assume you have the midi out from the joystick port to the midi in of the midi controller, and from there to the midi in of the sr16. Why not hook it from the midi out of the joystick directly to the midi in on the sr16? Then you can rule out one more problem. 2. When...

I just got a new computer with Windows ME (didn't think about asking prior to buying it). Will Cakewalk Pro 8 work with WIndows ME right from the install, or do I need to upgrade CW first? (I haven't installed it yet since I'm still just getting used to the new computer and internet access...

Several of the music chains also carry books, Interstate Music has quite a few. I bought a book called "The Midi Book",(Hal Leonard Publishing) for I think around $15. It is a good basic guide to midi. As far as getting different sounds on different channels, when you are in Cakewalk in track...

I recently recorded a song using a Kurzweil PC88MX and an Alesis SR16 drum machine. WHen using the mixer view on Cakewalk, I can control the volume of the individual voices on the Kurz, but moving the volume controls on the Cakewalk mixer will not change the volumes on the Alesis sounds. ANy...

Anyone know anything about the TDK DA-3826 CD burner? Specifically, can the SCMS be disabled on it? Also, can you use the cheapo 89 cent CD-R's if you are recording from an analog source, or making copies within the 3826 itself? I called the TDK tech support line and was told that you could...

Hey Bear I saw a recent Musician's Friend catalog with the Kurzweil K2VX 61 key work station, factory reconditioned, on board sequencer, floppy disc drive , expandable, etc. It has great sounds for $1200. Check it out. mutt

Hey bear! Here's the jist of the whole thang. 1. A workstation is a keyboard with different sounds and the ability to record (sequence) different sounds from the workstation (drums, bass, piano, organ, horns, etc) to make a song. You can get 88 key workstations, 76, and 64. 2. A module...

I think it is. I went to a Tascam 564 digital 4 track mini disc recorder about a year or so ago - picked a used one up pretty cheap. I only use Cakewalk as a sequencer, then run back thru my keyboards then into the Tascam. Bounce a few tracks down, add vocals, then out to a Sony cassette (but...

I thought the intro was pretty cool. Vocals at beginning tend to wander off key - sometimes WAY off key. Vox much better towards end. I like the waa-waa guitar. Kick drum could be punchier. I thought the vocal sound itself was pretty good (except for the intonation problems I mentioned)...

I agree with the "more bass and less rhythm" schools of thought. Also, the vocal sounds kind of distorted to me, not real clean. Good tune. Drums need some low end, especially kick. mutt

Hey Doc Radical as ever! I did like the syncopation, but I found that the middle section was just too busy for my taste, and to add vocals over that - hmmmmmmm - I don't know. I guess I'd have to hear it. (Of course, I'm just now getting used to "Cat Brains", so what do I know?) I thought...

Hey Joet Not a bad tune! I do agree with Em that you need to bring the bass up front more. I would also put some more highs on the background vox and bring them up a tad (they sound kind of muddy), turn down the rhythm guitar a bit, and please, for heaven's sake, change the drum pattern every...

I know from a previous thread that the 1/4" phone plugs on an audio snake is for sending a signal to your power amp from your board, right? Qustion is, what type of cable do I run from the snake head to the amp input? - would I use a regular speaker cable to the input, or an instrument cable...

Hey Ed - I think I have your scheme figured out. You record all these "no names" in hopes that some day they will be "somebodies" (sort of like buying a no names rookie baseball card), then, if they ever make it big, you have the "Beatles Live at the Cavern" mix of them when no one knew who...

Sorry - can't check it out. I got a "Not found" message when I clicked on the page you listed. Why not make a mp3 out of half the song and re- upload it so it's not so long? ( I hate long downloads) :( mutt

That's not a Cakewalk problem, it's just Monty. :D mutt

Hey JC Are the audio CDR's you're talking about listed in MF as CDR-DA's (for $1.99 each)? Does that sound about the right price? Also, if I go to the Tascam and bypass the SCMS, can I use the regular type CDR's for 99cents each? mutt

Thanks for all the replies - now something else I thought of: 1. There were a couple of mentions that using the analog ins the SCMS is off - does that mean you can use the real inexpensive CDR's to record to on the 770? 2. I'm coming out of a Tascam 546 digital 4 track that has a SPDIF output...

Is it possible to disable, turn-off, etc the SCMS function on a Philips CDR 770, 870, or CDRW760? If so, how do you do it? Isn't the SCMS function the deal that makes you pay a lot more for CD-R discs, instead of using the cheapo 99 cent ones?? (I'm thinking of buying a used CDR770 for $200...

Hmmmmmmmmmm - that was strangely reminiscent of Blind Melon Chitlin'. See what happens when you practice too late at night?? mutt
