I don't think protool's midi capabilities is up to par with cubase or logic. Logic is abandoning the PC scene, so if you don't have a mac, you best bet is cubase.

SAE's not bad. However I find it quite expensive.

Thanks for the advice James Argo. I'm gonna give x5d a look. And I also found out that local off doesn't matter. Thanks for this tip.

Cubase is a viable option. Protools M-box is good too. Pity it doesn't have a windows counterpart. There is other good programs out there, like logic audio (for you), n-track, nuendo. If you're going to use protools, check out their boards @ http://duc.digidesign.com. You can read up on some...

I think he wants to know about the history of the XLR cable, how it was invented, technical progressions and how it came to be the industry standard.

The psr280 has no midi thru. I bought it to learn how to play some tunes. Its sounds are decent but too generic for me. I don't know if I'm too picky for a beginner or what. Now I'm looking at the roland jv1010 for my first tone module. It seems a little bit old, and I'm not sure of the price...

Thanks. You've certainly clear it up for me. Another question though. I am using the yamaha psr 280 as a master keyboard. There is no local control off switch. Is there anyway to turn off local control for the psr280 from within cubase 5.1?

I plan on hooking up a tone generator to a master keyboard. My aim is to use the sounds from the tone gen ONLY. Is this how I should hook them up? Tone Gen OUT <--> IN Master Keyboard Master Keyboard OUT <--> IN Midi Interface The software I plan on using is cubase 5.1. Pls help.

Thanks for the reply, however it didn't quite help me on the local off issue. I found a website with these comments.... "Yamaha have now stopped manufacturing the PSR 270 and have introduced its successor the PSR 280. Local control cannot be switched off, so it has to be done on the software...

Oh yeah, and one more thing is I have a yamaha psr280. Can I use it as the master keyboard for the tone module? Because I've heard there's some issues with the psr280 not having a local off function.

In a sense, you are equalizing when you turn the those knobs. There isn't any specific software for EQ, but plugins you can use with your main audio programs, which usually comes with their own EQ software.

I was wondering if there's any "standard" TG/SM which has the sounds for trance and house music. Pardon me if I'm looking in the wrong direction.

I'm stepping into a unfamiliar recording studio in a couple of days. Is there any tips or guidelines for me to follow, so that I can get acquainted to the gear quickly?

Is there any difference, quality wise, between recording to harddisk and recording to adat, then dumping to harddisk for editing on a computer.

Hehe, sorry. I only got ata66 drives lying around. I was thinking of getting ata100 drives, or even ata133. But thats if ata66 is the weak link. They're 7200rpm btw. And I'm running Win98SE. One tip I read was... "Windows should be installed on one drive, your programmes on the other and your...

I have 3 ata66 harddisks. How should I set them up for maximun performance? The programs I use are protools, sound forge and cubase.

Thanks AlChuck. You have certainly clear many doubts about midi for me. I think I will go read up that website you posted.

Another thing is, do I need a drum machine? Or will the drum sets of the keyboard do for now.

Re: Re: My proposed setup for midi I have a soundblaster live value. Will that do?

I understand the part about putting the sound on CD, but effects? I thought I can do it in cubase directly to the midi tracks?
