Can I get some help here? I want to put together a setup to make some music thru midi. Ultimately, I want my end product to be an audio cd What I have now is a yamaha p60 keyboard which I think I can use as a master keyboard. But it has little to none sounds, so I think I'll need something...

Ah I see. Thanks.

I have been advised to buy "the heaviest speaker cable" I can, and use "the shortest length possible". Why is that so?

I wrote the script, but it doesn't show up in MIDI Device Manager. I put the file inside C:\Program Files\Steinberg\Cubase SX\Scripts\patchnames\Inactive\Yamaha.

I can't find a pn script for my keyboard. But I have its manual with all the parameters so I think I may be able to write one for it. Any programs or guides on how to write patchname scripts for SX?

Oh I see...hehe sorry I'm a newbie to cubase. I only have one keyboard you see.

After I set the default MIDI IN/OUT in the "Device Setup", it doesn't stick when I create a new track. The new track's MIDI OUT is always "Not Connected" and I have to manually choose the correct one for it to work properly. I know that its just a small gesture to set it manually, but I don't...

Umm...what are you talking about? Also, I don't feel like spending anymore money. Mainly because I don't have anymore now (unemployed). I'm just trying to hook up my keyboard with as low a latency as possible.

I'm using windows 2000, and I am trying to use the kx drivers. Is it enough to just go to Device Manager and uninstall the drivers there?

I have a moderately fast laptop, p3 600 256mb ram. I'm thinking of putting cubase sx in it, then hooking it up with my keyboard, a yamaha psr 280. I'll probbably add in a USB midi interface. The problem is, the laptop uses onboard sound. Would lantency be an issue?

When I press my midi keyboard, the sound comes out about half a second late. I'm using PIII 850MHz w/768mb ram, Windows 2000 Pro, SB Live! Value. Is it the soundcard? ps. I didn't have this problem on cubase.

It seem to work properly in Reason. However, it lags badly. I press a key and the sound comes like almost half a second later. Also, when I try to run it with cubase, it says midi port is in use.

I am thinking of using Reason (w/ Cubase). But I heard it requires a soundcard with ASIO. If SB Live! Value is not usable with Reason, what soundcard would you reccomend I get?

The mackie d8b is a split console right? What about the yamaha o2r? ps. If you can't tell, I'm having trouble identifying inline and split consoles. : )

I reckon a 1ghz computer with ata100 harddisks and a proper soundcard would be enough. The next hurdle is software.

I've done a couple of recordings before, and in terms of phase, I didn't hear anything wrong. That could just be my inexperienced ears. So what are the methods you use to detect phase in your recordings?

I read something that says... "THD is measurable statistically, but a a jump from 0.1 to 0.001 would not be audible in a well executed audio application. Dynamic distortion, on the other hand, is something you can hear." Basically the article reccomends choosing mikes with lower dynamic...

A sampler works somewhat similar to a snyth/sound module. It just lets you make your own "patches" and map them to your keyboard. For example, you sample a japanese koto note, then map it to the middle c key. Now you have a whole keyspan of koto notes to play around with.

If you're getting protools, take a look at the digidesign user conference. http://duc.digidesign.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum;f=36 Especially this thread, which roughly outlines the computer you would want your protools to run on...

I don't have a regular job, or hundreds of raw recordings dumped towards me so.... How do you improve your EQing skills?
