where can i find an extremely basic but detailed explanation of midi? something that explains everything having to do with midi? thanks ~seriousturtle

this console confuses me. i bought it a few weeks ago and still can't understand how to use much of the features. maybe yawll could give me some answers. 1. how do i get the onboard effects to run on individual channels on the mixer itself? 2. if i'm playing back tracks and recording at...

so many people compare mackie versus soundcraft, A&H, Alesis, Behringer (God knows why). let's compare A&H to Soundcraft. Start out with their 900-1000$ range. FX 8-16 against the Mixwizard. Why do you prefer one over the other. What's a better buy. What features are better for the...

pros and cons of each. mixers that is.

i was on the bandwagon and thinking of buying a mackie vlz1604 because i heard all this great crap from people on this bbs. then i did some more digging and found that soundcraft and a&h are good. so now i'm thinking of getting this spirit. question: how do soundcraft rank to a&h? and also...

you guys are awesome. just bought myself a nice pair of sony 5706's. those things rock my face off. i can't believe how much bass they punch out, and how freakin clear everything is. just one more piece of the puzzle that's in place now. thanks alot for you knowledge everybody. peace ~the...

does anyone know how to adjust how long the audition time it in cakewalk 8-9??? ~the turtle

some of the experts in these posts talk about 2:1 compression and 4:1 or 20:1 compression. i would simply request some explanation for us newbies about the facts and fallacies of compression. what is it? what does it do (technically and non-technically)? how to use it? i think this would...

answer me this: using two mics through my mackie vlz 1604, and mixing through the RCA tape outputs to my turtle beach sound card 1/8" input, can i separate the two mics onto two separate tracks? i will be using cakewalk 8-9 most likely. i was thinking of panning each guitar hard left and hard...

okay, this has probably been addressed several times, but i can't find this exact subject anywhere. i keep hearing how the sm57 is THE mic for acoustic guitars. what i want to know is, how much more money would it cost for a small diaphragm condenser that records acoustic guitars better than...

for an all around mixer (used mostly for recording), what brands are best to think about, under the $1000 range? mackie has the vlz series which i'm thinking about, and actually found a 1604pro for under $900. but i know alesis makes a few mixers as well as behringer, for a cheaper price.but...

you mentioned in another thread that you could get the autocom for 80-90 $ brand new. can you post some links for those of us who would appreciate a nice deal like that??? much appreciated. and for anyone else - post some sites that have good honest reviews of recording equipment. ~the turtle

i'm wondering, after reading tons of posts in here, if it's smarter to get a digital mixer (such as a tascam tm-d1000) or a nice analogue mixer with a nice mic-preamp (mackie 1604 VLZ Pro). i plan to record into my computer, but probably can't afford a digital soundcard. the VLZ series has an...

what are some of the cheapest soundcards on the market that are decent for homerecording, and which ones come with recording software? ~the turtle

okay, i'm looking for a cheap mixer for recording onto my computer. i was thinking of the tascam tm-d1000 because it would convert my analogue into digital, right? but i've tried messing around with it, and it's confusing as hell. has anyone used this mixer? is it worth the money, and the...

i'm still trying to set up a half-decent home studio in my house. i don't even own a mic-pre or any compression. i've been using the cheap pre on my old mixing board. i'm thinking about purchasing a behringer ultragain mic220 and a behringer mdx1400 autocom pro. remember, i don't have...

i want to plug my rode NT-2 into my sound card in my computer. i was thinking about getting an SB-live soundcard (still haven't decided yet). and going from the mic to the art tube mp, then into a compressor/limiter, and then into the pc. what would be the most inexpensive, yet decent way to...

is the montego acceptable for audio recording, on a novice level? ~the turtle

is it possible, since i'm just starting out on desktop recording, to use and get away with using a sound blaster live sound card? how much difference would it make using that card compared to say, a good yamaha or echo card? if i can get away with it, what's the easiest, cheapest, and best way...
