Hi all! I just got my TASCAM US-1641 interface and I am thinking of how to use my M-Audio KeyStudio 49i keyboard in conjunction with it. Right now I plugged them both to USB ports, but I am worried that they will use lots of USB resources. Would it be possible to connect M-Audio to 1641 via MIDI...

Hello everyone! :) Assuming everyone records now with the aid of a computer -- the question is: how close to the grid do you try to lay your drums tracks? Besides other things -- in terms of metronome clicks -- what's allowed measures criteria? At what point do you decide that it's good enough...
