Strap-on keyboard controllers have gone somewhat out of fashion, but I would like to get one. I'm aware of two brands, Roland and Lync. I'd prefer to get a Lync, but I don't want to spend too much. Under $200 would be feasible for me but perhaps wouldn't get me much quality or...

Hello, My best microphone is an SM57. What would be a good inexpensive match in a preamp. I do synthpop and electro music and I'm a baritone. I've been eyeballing the JoeMeek VC3 for a long time, but for some reason I remember reading that inexpensive mics and inexpensive preamps are a risky...

Hello all, I currently have a Shure SM57 I'm using for vocals. Not having heard all that many microphones (my only previous experience being a CAD 22 and a Zeron, and the Shure is clearly superior to both). I'm still wondering about the Studio Projects B1. I'm a baritone, and a somewhat...

Hello all, I just picked up an ARP Axxe for $100. The seller said it needed tuning and cleaning (and the 'random' switch needed replacing, but he said that it didn't otherwise interfere with the operation of the unit). Eventually I'll get the switch fixed, but I'd rather not pay someone to do...

Hello all.... I have a rack that most of my equipment is in. I have crappy, mostly 6 foot and longer cabling. I'd like to shorten things up (less opportunity for interference) but premade cables don't exist shorter than that really. So I thought of making my own cables. What do I need? I'd...

Hello all, Here is what I'm thinking of buying. Am I improving things or making a mistake? Before: mic preamp in the Mackie 1202 (not VLZ), microphones are CAD 22 and Zeron (anyone even heard of it?). After: Shure SM-57 and JoeMeek VC3. I mostly record vocals, though I do have a Wurlitzer...

What would be the circumstances when I would need to use a mic pre-amp? ---- ----- DAVID VESEL -- synthpop recording artist The new single "The Caves v2.0" The new album Calliope Now available from Situation Records http://www.ampcast.com/davidvesel davidvesel@pobox.com

I want to buy a dedicated piano sample playback module. Buying a sampler is not an option, as I would like to keep the purchase price around $100 or less used. Looking around, these seem to be my options: * Alesis NanoPiano * Kurzweil Micro Piano * Oberheim Mini Grand * E-mu Proformance/1...

Hello, I am looking for the interface and voice cards and the software for the Alpha Syntauri synthesizer system for the Apple II. Do you have these or know where I can get them? Thanks! --- DAVID VESEL -- synthpop recording artist The new single "Stained Glass" available now...

Hello all, Has anyone seen any published "objective" reviews of the Studio Projects B1? --- DAVID VESEL -- synthpop recording artist The new single "Stained Glass" available now http://www.ampcast.com/davidvesel davidvesel@pobox.com

Hello, I am looking for a set of interface and voice cards for an Alpha Syntauri. I already have the keyboard, but no cards or software. If you can help me, please e-mail me at davidvesel@pobox.com --- DAVID VESEL -- tech-pop recording artist The new single "Stained Glass" available now...

Hello, I've seen hints and bits that people really despise the Alesis Nano effects boxes. I happen to own two of them, a NanoVerb, and a NanoCompressor. Though to be honest, I don't use them directly anymore. Mostly these days, I use computer-based effects, mostly the ones either in...

On a scale of 0 to 10, how do the mic preamps in the Mackie 1202 mixer measure up compared to other mixers and/or standalone preamps in the under-$200 range? I picked up a second-hand Mackie 1202 that seems to have quite a bit of wear on it. The seller said it was used outdoors a lot. Would...

Ultra newbie question.... Is there a difference between a wind screen some distance from the microphone and one of those foam thingies that stick on the business end of the mic? Wondering, because if I *don't* have to sing holding a warped coat hanger with panty hose stretched over it, I'll...

Hello, In my previous post inquiring about inexpensive vocal mics (which turned into a fight over spam, thanks a lot guys), one mic that was mentioned before the thread degenerated into pissing was the Electrovoice RE-16. I'd like to get some additional opinions on the RE-16 as far as using it...

Hello, Usually I'm used to asking for feedback on generally whether or not the songs "sucks" or not. It would be great to get some feedback on the actual production and mixing of a song from some folks with more knowledge than myself. The song is "Stained Glass". The page is...

I would like recommendations on a vocal mic for my home studio. I presently have a CAD 22, which is marginally better than the Zeron I used to use, but still not really very good. My criteria for purchase: Absolutely maximum price of $200. Preferably around $100, if that's possible. Used is...

Cakewalk 9 Home Studio is my first attempt at computer-based recording, after using hardware multitrackers for years. Overall, I like it. I have to disable nearly everything running on my computer to get good results, though. Even running just Norton Anti-virus causes dropouts, and I'm...
