    Before you go posting your music online, there are a few things you are well advised to heed so you have no regrets. The experts tell you to not only copyright all your music, but also get yourself listed as the music publisher, because the more hats you wear, the more money you will get from...

    Writing someone else's song?

    To the OP, might I suggest watching and listening to this 5-minute excerpt from the classic movie "Cyrano". Trust me, it's relevant. Especially at the 4-minute mark to the end at 4:56. But watch the whole thing. There's much to learn from this. Background: Cyrano is Frenchman who is...

    searching for a special sound

    Ok. First off, that sound that sounds like high pitched strings is very easy to create using any synthesizer, or synthesizer plug-in (VSTi). If you have any musical background, you should be able to create that sound very easily. You do not need to sample it and then embed it. Just get a...

    What DAW are you using?

    The list should be updated to include Cakewalk by Bandlab (formerly Sonar). Not sure why, but I clicked "other". For those who are lacking background and education on current DAW's, Cakewalk was maybe the very first DAW ever, going way back to DOS days in the 1980s. Then somewhere in the...

    Good Affordable Sound Card

    Well Dave, Your electronics knowledge far surpasses mine. I can only barely follow your technical posting, but did follow your ideas. You have not tried the ESI Julia XTe which is the same price, and according to DAWbench is far superior with regard to latency. Unfortunately, you cannot try...

    Good Affordable Sound Card

    The review I was referring to is the 1st, at the top of the page of reviews, by shootdaj, posted on June 1, 2012. http://www.amazon.com/Native-Instruments-Komplete-Audio-6/dp/B004YPRPJ6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1403804686&sr=8-1&keywords=native+instruments+komplete+audio+6

    Good Affordable Sound Card

    I just took a look at your NI KA6 on Amazon and it sure looks great. Most of the reviewers love how it feels saying it is hefty. There are a few sour notes in the group, but the very first review seems great. He said he is routing his guitar signal TWICE via Ableton LIVE and cannot perceive...

    Good Affordable Sound Card

    There was nothing "alarmist" about my post. Everything I wrote was true. In fact, Vin Curigliano states the same thing on his website about USB 2.0 interfaces and then makes special note of a very few exceptional cases. And the cases you just mentioned, like Vin mentions, are not anything...

    Good Affordable Sound Card

    My research has brought me to a site and engineers, especially this guy named Vin Curigliano, who really know their stuff regarding measuring Round Trip Latency (RTL) and having developed a true measurement tool so that musicians can have real world, practical numbers to evaluate when choosing...

    Hammond and Leslie questions/options

    I heard a 9 pc. funk band a few days ago who were exceptional (5 horns!) and the keyboardist had a Hammond XK-1 in his lineup. It sounded awful. Whether or not it was the musician not knowing how to use it properly (settings and such), or if the way it was coming through the Mix (trying to be...

    Disassembling FATAR keyboard to clean - Help!

    Please advise on what kind of keyboard to buy!

    Look for Kurzweil K2500 or K2600 on Ebay. Prices tend to be around $700 up to $1600 depending on the condition. These machines will do everything and more of what you are wanting to do. If they have the letter "X" after the model name, i.e. K2500X, that means it is an 88 weighted key...

    I'm working on a new song..

    Me too. I'm working on a new one. It lacks meter, rhythm, rhyme, and form, but I think it's got potential. I could use a little help with a humorous chorus. What do you think? = = = = = = = = = 21st century evolution Human anatomy a billboard for anything Ink under the skin, lose that...

    A music sound card

    If you have a laptop an external is your only option, but they are slower than internals (unless it's an eSATA or USB 3.0) and have more latency issues. It only stands to reason. An internal sound card's speed is dictated by the type of card (a PCI utilizing the IDE or SATA) which is connected...

    Question for composers

    Hey guys (and gals), Reading music is one thing, but transcribing a composition of yours to score is quite another. I have faced the dilemma I'm in now, several times in the past years, and always end up working out the issues on my own, painstaking as they are. QUESTION: What might be the...
