I just bought a M-Audio KeyStudio. It installed easily, and shows up as a USB Audio Device in my device manager. However, it does not show up as a MIDI controller in my recording software. Help?

I just purchased Cubase 4, and the VST Performance ASIO meter is maxing out when I use a single HALion One instrument track. I don't know why it's working my computer so hard. My PC has 2GB of RAM, 2.4GHz Pentium 4 Processor, Windows XP, and I use a separate 7200 RPM hard drive for the Cubase...

Do I have to purchase a USB to MIDI adapter to use the M-Audio Keystation 61es with my VST instruments? It connects to the computer via USB so I wasn't sure if I would still need to purchase USB to MIDI adapter. Thanks!

I currently use two Wharfedale Diamond Pro 8.2a Active Monitors. Can I add a KRK subwoofer to my setup, or do I need to use matching speakers and subwoofer? Will this affect my level of accurate referencing? Thanks.

I'm undecided on whether or not to switch to a Pro Tools system, or upgrade my current Mackie Trackion system. Currently I use Mackie's Onyx 1620 with the firewire card and Mackie's Tracktion version 2. It allows me to record up to 16 different tracks at once, plenty of processing power...

Should I buy... two JBL JRX118S subs and two JBL JRX115 speakers (total: $1400) or should I dish out the extra $600 and buy two Mackie S218s subs and two Mackie S215 speakers (total: $2000) I'm looking for a system to gig with my band. Thanks!

Does anyone know a good place to look for a wide selection of drum wrap? Also, does anyone know how I can get wrap in Pearl's Charcoal Metallic (#98)? Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone wanted to do a collaboration? I can put a live drum track to someone's song if they'd like. Maybe something like easy rock, indie, acoustic, jazz, pop... something along those lines. Below is a quick drum take I took today while setting some levels. (Just to give you...

I'd like to get some opinions on these two snares. I'm matching up a Tama Starclassic G Maple Snare and a 2004 Pearl Export Poplar Snare. Below are two recordings of the same kit, but with different snares. Which one do you like the best? Thanks. http://216.247.204.179/jonathan/starclassic.mp3...

I was thinking of taking two sheets of plywood, and put blocks of rubber in between them. Maybe put some carpet on top, and setting my drumset on top. Do you guys think this would dampen some of the low frequencies from being felt within/outside my house? Thanks!

I made a few recordings of my drumset: Drums with no guitar, with clean guitar, "reverby" (for lack of better terms) guitar, and distorted guitar. How do the drums sound on their own, and how do they sound with guitar? Overheads: SM57s Snare: SM57 Kick: AKG D112 Drums as of Dec. 4 Drums...
