Can anybody help me get to know how to use Logic Express' Environment? The Transport Bar reads the incoming MIDI and I can record that input, but I can't get it out of Logic to my hard-synth nor can I make it do anything with Logic's soft-synths. I have a hard-synth that uses MIDI (Korg MS2000B)...

I'm using Garageband 2 and Reason 3.0.3 on my iMac G5 (2Ghz processor, 512MB RAM). When I use Reason alone, there's no latency. When I use Garageband alone, there's no latency. When I use them together with rewire, I get a little latency on the MIDI signal going from my keyboard to Reason. In...

I'm using Reason and Cubase LE on my 12" Al G4 Powerbook with 1 Ghz processor and 768 MB RAM. When I use rewire with the two programs, I get a lot of pops and clicks. I originally only had 256 MB RAM, but upgrading my memory by 512 MB didn't seem to fix the problem. I've played with different...

Hello everybody I recently got a Firepod and have had a little bit of trouble using it right off the bat. I have my Firepod plugged into my 12" G4 Powerbook. When I play a mic or instrument into the Firepod, I get sound from both the left and right monitors, but when I play songs on iTunes, I...

What is your PC Laptop system? What good systems are out there? I'm looking for something that is ideally under $1500.

For my senior project at school, I'm doing a recording project, and I need a little help. My school has an endowment for senior projects in creativity. In the past, this program has handed up to $5,000 for students to do independent projects, so long as the school can acquire any expensive...

I have a sequencer, a synthesizer/midi controller, and a drum machine. How do I connect the cables for all of this?

Who here knows what synth bass pedals Geddy Lee uses? I'm very curious.

Title basically says it all... which would you do?

So from start to finish, what is your process for songwriting? I'm relatively new, but I have a good background in music theory, mainly through learning jazz improvization. Do you write it all out on manuscript paper before you record, or do you roll the tape and come up with ideas first? Do you...

I want to record some of my vinyl to my PC so I can edit it and burn it to CD, but its not at line level. What's a good phono preamp? I've seen cheap ones for $30, and nice rack pieces for upwards of $150. Whats the deal on those?

Right now I'm using Cubasis VST 4.0 that I got with my E-mu 0404 card, which from what I've read is the really really stripped down version of Cubase, even more so than LE. What are the benefits of upgrading to Cubase LE or even SX? I'm looking to record some jazz/rock/electronica, and i play...

I want to record some rock- and jazz-electronica, and i'm looking into drum machines/drum modules. Why would I choose one over the other? From my understanding, a drum machine has sounds and a sequencer all built in, whereas a drum module simply has the sounds and requires some kind of MIDI...

Do you go direct in or do you mic the amp? If you mic the amp, what amp? what mic? how do you position it? what kind of preamp do you use for the mic? compressing? eq? how do you change it up for more treble sound, more bass sound, different styles, etc? Lots of questions! :D

The title basically says it all. What do I need to get started up with a basic rack setup? How much is a small rack? Preamp? Compressor/Limiter? Effects? If it matters, I'll be recording bass, synth, vocals, and some horns (trombone, sax) and playing jazz, rock, and anything in between. With all...

I want to use my MS2000B's programs on my Cubasis software. I know how to send it, but I have no clue as to how to receive it or use it on my computer. So its a pretty simple question: how do i do it? thanks in advance

Getting mics will be the last step in finishing my studio,for the time being anyway, but I need some advice. I want to record vocals, trombone, saxophone, and bongos. My plan was to get a Shure SM58 dynamic mic since those have the rep for being reliable and the mic or last resort (or so i've...

I'm using Cubasis VST 4.0 and need a little help with getting my MIDI recorded into the final product. I have some audio tracks recorded (bass and guitar) and I'm using one of Cubasis' VST instruments for the drum track. Now, I also have an external synthesizer whose sounds I want in the final...
