I have a Boss DR770 on which the volume drops considerably when I connect it up to a sequencer or drum pad. I'm following all the syncing instructions as far as I'm aware. The DR770 is still useable when Midi-d up but I have to up the volume so much on the mixer that I get lots of unwanted...

I'm assuming when you transfer tracks digitally from the 788 to a PC you get one stereo wav on the PC. You don't get seven individual tracks. Am I right?

An Ampex MM1200 16 Track 2" recorder just sold on Ebay.co.uk for £1,120 ($2000 approx.). Is that a good price? It was in good condition according to the blurb.

Okay, what's the concensus? Is there latency when playing through the POD? i.e. a delay between hitting the string and hearing the sound. I thing there is but I know how easy it is to fool yourself with this sort of thing. The link includes a post - it's near the end - which quotes from an...

My songs are being spoiled by dull drone-y vocals (mine). Anyone got any tips about how I can remedy this? For instance, I have quite a deep voice so have been cutting EQ heavily at lower frequencies. Now I'm wondering if this is counterproductive and I'm removing all the energy?

I have a little mixer with XLR main stereo outs. Currently I'm using Hosa interconnect cables - XLR to mono jack. One of them's faulty and I need a replacement. Most of the possible replacements I've seen are microphone cables. This is my question: is there any difference between a so called...

Is it a serious limitation of the Tascam 424 MkIII that if you use Channel 1-6 as an Effect Return you can't adjust the level of the incoming signal to any useable amount, but if you use Channel 7 or 8 you can't EQ the incoming signal? (That is, if you keep the Mix (and Output?) knobs of your...

Hi, can anyone explain how you place samples into programs using an Akai S2000. The manual says you can do this but I can't find anywhere where it explains how to actually do it. Thanks.

Hi, this is a question about getting the best sound out of a drum machine which has only a pair of stereo outputs, particularly about the relative volume levels of kick drum and snare. I set all levels by ear but can't make up my mind about kick and snare. Usually, I've had the snare on max...

Does anyone know of a reason for not doing this? I have a guitar with one single coil pick up and one tappable humbucker. I want to replace them both with single coil Strat pick ups. Are there any problems I should be aware of? Would the remainder of the cavity where the humbucker was need...

Is it possible for someone to hack into your PC and steal your songs?

Lots of people here seem to like this site. What's the appeal?

Hi, can anyone recommend an outboard parametric EQ unit in the price range £200-£500 or $200-$600? Thanks.

Morning(?), I need all the info. you have on the Lexicon LXP1. I'm negotiating to buy one. How does it sound? How is it to operate? Does it have pre-delay? Is it good for vocals? How editable is it? Also, the blurb I've found on it emphasizes it's MIDI capabilities and tweakability, but I don't...

Can the reverbs etc. on the Virtualizer actually be edited like on a Midiverb or are they just alterable like on a MPX100 or Nanoverb? Also what's the quality of the Reverbs, Delays and Chorus's like, especially when used with vocals and keyboards? Thanks. PS. Input from anyone who's used a...

A couple of questions about reverb and vocals: Is it a good idea to use the bpm/milliseconds conversion table used for Delay when setting reverb tails? Is it important to match pre-delay settings to tempo? If so, how is this done? Is doing it by ear the best way? Thanks.

How often do you change strings? How often do you change strings when recording? I read in a book about a professional bass player who changes strings every three hours when recording as he reckons they're dead after that. I doubt many Homereccers can afford to change strings that often. So...

Do any UK members know where you can buy quality cable, such as Mogami, Canare or equivalent, in the UK? Most places I've looked have no-name brands or JHS products. I particularly want good cables to run between my mixer and soundcard with 1/4" jack plugs at either end. Thanks.

No answer to this in the DJ/.../Rap forum so I'm trying it here: how do you double the length of the step sequencer in FruityLoops from 16 steps to 32? I used to know but have forgotten. Can't find the info. anywhere and can't log onto the Help file as I no longer have the internet at home...
