    I've resorted to YouTube

    My Daryle Ackerman Official YouTube page As of this writing, I'm between 1200 and 1300 views. If I get past 2000, then I'll probably apply to be an AdSense partner and see if I can't generate any residual income that way. But it's a long shot, probably... realistically. Time without much in...

    upon stopping MIDI playback, pitch goes down

    As the subject title says, when I stop MIDI playback, the pitch wheel goes down as if someone moved it to the bottom when nobody did. I'm running Sonar Producer Edition 6, but have also endured this problem in Studio Edition 6 and Cakewalk Pro Audio 4.00. I'm using it in conjunction with a...

    trying to send sysex to my Peavey DPM V3

    If I try to send a sys file using Sonar 6 Producer Edition's sysex feature, it says "F0 or F7 missing". Are there any solid programs out there that will support sending sysex files to vintage equipment such as my Peavey DPM V3? (I bought it on eBay and, of course, the presets were gone so I...

    What's the biggest XP MIDI patchbay?

    I'm looking for hopefully 16 ins and 20 outs. I tried to add a second Mark of the Unicorn MIDI Timepiece AV to my first parallel MTP AV, but with no luck. So right now I only have an 8x8 but I want more to accomdate my various instruments. Anybody know of any such beast? Daryle...

    portable road-worthy VSTs?

    Are there any keyboards and/or rack units that support loading virtual PC instruments or does one need a laptop to take such instruments on the road? Daryle

    gawd damn

    Out of three CAD GXL 2400s, I just had my second one be infested with some kind of electrical problem. The mic "breathes heavily" and is unuseable so I highly do not recommend this mic. Or elese my Behringer mixer is to blame, but that wouldn't explain why the third mic doesn't suffer from...

    should I get a preamp?

    I'm using a Behringer EuroDESK (not rack) 32 (channel) x 8 (bus) mixer. I go from the bus out into my Fostex 16-track digital multitracker. The mixer cost about $3200 Cdn which is about $2400 US I think. Wouldn't that mixer be considered to have decent preamps as is? If I do get a preamp, I...

    safe to use a null modem cable on MOTU?

    I've a 25' M/F null modem parallel port cable on order to be used for transferring data from my old PC (used for its Cakewalk sequencer) to a new PC for backing up my music files on CDR. Would it be safe to use this same cable to extend the distance my MOTU (parallel port) Timepiece AV can...

    migration from Win 95 and Cakewalk Pro Audio 4.00

    Hi All, I have an old Gateway P-120 with a MOTU Midi Timepiece AV (8 in, 8 out) running Windows 95 and Cakewalk Pro Audio 4.00. I'm not even sure what Cakewalk is now called -- Sonar perhaps? Do they have a program that will be able to support my old .wrk sequences? I suppose they would need...

    what do they mean by "warm"

    Maybe I'm asking for it here -- which is in fact why I'm putting this in the newbie section -- but what does "warm" in relation to audio mean? For me, it's always been a relative term referring to temperature, not audio, until recently. As you likely know, it's often used in reference to...

    desperately need help with my Fostex VM200

    I recently bought a used Fostex VM200 digital mixer. Whenever the power's on, it flashes: "WARNING! WRONG WORD-IN Clock! Check System Clock Selection" This happens when the Word-In switch is set to either "on" or "off". The machine lets me change the clock selection but when I press "enter"...

    multiple note strumming

    Okay, I'm kind of embarrased to even ask this but: How is it that a guitar player can seemingly strum all the strings? I mean, wouldn't that invariably produce bum notes that can't be properly fretted seeing as there's six strings but only four fingers available? Surely players aren't only...

    dobro guitars

    Newbie question here: what makes a guitar a dobro guitar? Is what The Edge plays at the start of `Running to Stand Still' (from "The Joshua Tree" album) a dobro guitar? (I'm refering to the sliding guitar part). Daryle

    seeking sample piano library recommendations

    I have an EMU ESI-32 v3.02 w/ 32 MB RAM and have on order through Sweetwater an Akai MPC 4000 sampler and have 512 MB RAM ready to install in it once it arrives. Can anyone recommend good piano libraries for use with either of these two units? The EMU can import Akai S1000 and S1100 libraries...

    how best to make SACD-quality recordings?

    I bought a 16-bit, 44.1kHz multitracker (a Fostex VF-160) a year ago and naturally only after the fact read about higher-quality 24-bit, 96+kHz multitrackers and formats (SACD and DVD-Audio). Is it possible for a home recording enthusiast to burn SACDs? (Probably not due at least to the...

    Roland D-20 issues

    I've had a Roland D-20 for the longest time. Two questions: 1. I've read on the net that there's a firmware update available for this machine. Does anybody know anything more about it? 2. My D-20 (and I suspect others as well) has a poor signal-to-noise ratio. Is there any way to improvie...
