Hey Bruce ...
What are some examples of good-sounding sound modules? Do they plug into a midi instrument, or is it PC based?
What is the importance of the "controller" -- are we talking about added realism as far as attack, etc?
Finally, when you talk about patches, that sounds like...
Hey -
How do you get "good" sounding midi?
Does it just depend on the quality of your soundcard? Or, do people use their computer to compose midi, and then send the midi sequence to a compatible synth?
So, for example, maybe you could use a synth +/- a midi compatible drum machine?
Thanks...
Hey --
On the roland and fostex machines, can you transfer files to PC for burning to CD?
Because, since I have a burner (Yamaha firewire), I may not necessarily want to buy a burner for the standalone -- but I would if I had to ...
I see the roland supports "roland" burners, and the fostex...
Thanks for the replies!!
Yeah, I don't have the resources to build that huge digi-workstation ...
So the computer is the easiest & cheapest way to go.
You might say I was just having some doubts about being able to troubleshoot and set everything up.

Ok, here goes --
Just because there's a PC in the house, doesn't mean you have to use it for making your own music, does it?? I used to think so!

Hope that helps!

Hi -
I found out about this today while looking at n-track Studio. I had previously heard of it for PC games, of course!
Anyway, if you need to download it or otherwise make sure you have it, this link will get you started...
More shopping ...
Thanks for the feedback --
Actually I hadn't decided on a mixer yet, although the omni sounds cool ... Since I've read some more, it seems that a Delta 66 would be an adequate sound card. Anyway, I wanted to have the option of recording some live performances -- so I thought...
Hello all:
This site is great -- I've learned so much in just a few days!
I have two basic questions:
1) Our household has two pentium based computers, one of which we're going to dedicate to digital recording.
To start off, we're recording bass and guitar, possibly phasing in some drums and...
