I plan on doing a lot of video with keyboards recorded direct to a multitrack. Without adding a microphone to my rig, how can I sync the audio with the video? I've considered playing a "clap" sound with one of my keyboards to get a nice spike but then there are no visual cues to help align the...

I will try to nutshell this as best as I can. I have a stereo output that I need to send into a mono input. I am looking to sum the stereo channels into the mono device without losing anything to phase cancelation and without damaging the output of the stereo device. I have come across DIY...

It is my understanding that the only real differences between these boards is the lack of aftertouch and sequencer on the X50. Is that the ONLY differences other than cosmetic? Carl

Hello, I've got an Edirol UM-880 connected to my PC via the USB connection. When I try to sequence multiple MIDI sources simultaneously in realtime the events record just fine, but playback goes out to all instruments. That is to say that all MIDI events are sent to ALL the synths and modules...

I need a shallow unit or it won't fit in my rack. The Alesis MV4 has the dimensions that I need, but does it also have the balls? To be honest, I'm using this for my live rig and not for recording, so it dosen't have to be that spectacular. However, I don't want metalic sounding reverbs that...

The F above middle C on my RD100 is much louder than it should be. Is this a simple repair or should I get it to a service center? Anyone know what causes this? Thanks, Carl

Particularly Herk Favilla guitars. I know that there was a relationship between the Favillas and the D'aquistos (RIP Jimmy). Other than a few scraps that I could cull from a google search, there really isn't a whole lot of information. Are these good guitars? Do they sound and play well? Are...

I need to bore out some quarter inch holes in a Raxxess plate designed for installing quarter inch phono jacks. I'm going to be putting in six MIDI 5 pin DIN sockets into this and the DINS are about 1/2" in diameter. Since I need to add another quarter inch to the exiting hole, what should I...

Seems like the asking price for some compenants are all over the map. I've found some MIDI sockets (5 pin chassis mount DIN) online for as low as $0.69 and as high as $6. Likewise for the quarter inch phono jacks. Thing is that the less expensive online sources require a $25 minimum order...

Anyone know the standard knockout hole for a MIDI socket? Middle Atlantic makes a module rack panel with an assortment of precut holes. Problem is that none of them explicitly call themselves MIDI or even DIN openings. I'm sure that one of them is appropriate but I don't know which. Here's...

I figure this would be the best forum to get an answer to this, even though I need it for a stage rig. Does anyone make a passive MIDI patchbay? Something probably designed to mount into the wall of a studio space and come out the other side? Barring that, anyone make an active MIDI router...

I'm trying to find a cheapie cheap patchbay for my SKB rack case. I need 1/4" inputs on the front and the back. 1U for sure. Normalized or not. Any recommendations? Carl

I've got a peice of hardware that's just about one quarter inch too long for my rack case's depth. I'm thinking that if I just put a couple of quarter inch spacers between the rails and my rack ears that should do the trick. The face of the unit is flat and allowing it to stick out another...

I just bought an SKB rack case. It comes with screws, but these screws don't seem standard to me. My other rack uses Raxxus hardware. These SKB screws have a much wider thread. I've tried searching for SKB screws on the internet and haven't found anything. If I needed replacements where...

It has been suggested to me that I set up a VCR to record all of my practice time. Hit record when I start practicing and obviously hit stop when I'm done. My question is whether or not it pays to record one channel on both audio tracks (L/R) and one channel on the video track. Will the audio...

I'll take $200 of best offer. This unit was never really used. Comes in the original box with all the manuals and paper work. Even the registration cards are like new. I don't think you'll ever see one this fresh. Long Island pick up only. Carl

Selling Hammond M3 for best offer. The organ is fully functional, but is comsmetically a bit rough. One key needs to be replaced or repaired as it sticks up above the keybed higher than the rest of the keys. Although the key itself functions fine. It's very heavy, so you'll have to come to...

I'm getting rid of my Fender Rhodes piano. All the keys work and I'll tune it before I sell. All the original hardware is included with the following exceptions: The travel lid is gone. The Rhodes logo badge on the front is gone. I'm looking for local pickup on this beast. I don't think it...

I really need to get some new gear, but money is tight. The best way I've found to get new stuff is to sell old stuff. I have a Rhodes 73 that I only use for home play. I never take this thing on the road because it's unweildly. I know that I could get a good price for it, but I also know...

How horrible is it for you to play on a Yamaha DD55? I'm going to get a service kit for my modest studio. That means, cheapie cheapie cheapie. This will be something for my visiting drummer friends to play on. I can easily afford and store a Yamaha DD55, but I don't know if a real drummer...
