Hi, Have the Zoom L-12 'Livetrack' digital recorder. I can record well on one channel. The overdub button will not illuminate - so I can't overdub. Any advice please? Thanks :)

Hi, Can the Korg Electribe EA1 be used just to model an incoming (line-in) sound please, as opposed to adding a rhythm or beat to something? Am interested in ambient sounds which stretch out forever, often just one tone subtly shifting. Can I do this with the Korg Electribe EA1...

Hi, Want to use an MX300 for vocals in conjunction with an analogue mixer - Yamaha MG102c, can this be done please? I'd hope to run 1/4" analogue jacks to the mixer from the MX300. I feed the MG102 to my DAW by way of a digital interface - FastTrack USB. Thanks :)

Hi, Just tried to run a line-in to the Korg in order to use it to process some audio, but I could get no sense out of it. I then hooked up a Korg Kaos Pad and processed the pre-recorded audio that way, but I really wanted to use the Micro Korg's synthesizer settings to shape some sounds. I...

Hi, If I had to spin a coin between the Nano2 & the Lexicon MX200, primarily for groovy reverbs on mic, which one should I go for please? I use an analogue mixer into my pc interface - not sure whether a dedicated fx unit would hook up with the mixer or plug straight to the interface direct...

Hi, Got these phones couple of years ago as serious~ish studio phones (with good bass response). Had no trouble with them at all - pretty all round excellent. KNS 6400 Studio Headphones KRK SYSTEMS Other day I turned my DAW on and put the phones on to listen to a track: nothing. Spent about...

Hi, Am trying to get some echo/reverb on a mic. I tried putting the mic through an effects pedal and the result is rather faint and decidedly hissy. There is a 'send' jack on my mixer but I don't know how to use it - the mic goes through the mixer, all my music gear does. Can I patch an echo...

Hi, Can anyone tell me what an average volume reading would look like on this analogue display please? Its a Sony double cassette deck. What do the '+' and '-' numbers mean ~ are these decibels? Thanks ps. i mean, what's an optimal *recording level* for this deck please - going by the...

Hi, Can I use ISOPROP to clean a pinch roller please? There's a thread here which mentions doing that: Film-Tech Forum: TEAC Rubber Cleaner I don't think custom-made chemicals for tape deck cleaning are easily available these days. Any further suggestions for cleaning the capstan and so...

Hi, Back in the day, how did you record on a 4-track cassette deck please? How many overdubs could you do - were there buttons for overdubbing - could you erase an overdub without affecting the original recording (first track)? Thanks

Hi, Can anybody tell me what type (impedance?) of mic the 1980s era cassette decks took please - I remember they had two separate, Right and Left jack plugs? Many thanks, Ric

Hi, Is it possible to hear the Q25 keyboard in real time through Ableton please, as in through phones? Thanks, KR

Hi, Have been using a usb interface for guitar, mic and other instruments. Trouble is, the interface has all its controls as little knobs on it to turn & adjust. This is sometimes awkward when the interface is positioned away from the pc. Is there a PCI interface that will give me a control...

Hi, what's the best software for burning CD's, EP's, albums and so forth please? all my burn softwares give me decent cd's but 'unknown track' and 'unknown album' whenever i place the cd in the disc tray. One software even numbered my 1-2-3 track listing 2-1-3. Not very impressive! want...

Hi, have an electro-acoustic guitar. i want to record the guitar through its pickup - and i want to record singing and playing acoustically through a microphone. two separate inputs simaltaneously: 1) electro-acoustic guitar on its own, plugged into input; 2) vocals and acoustic guitar...

Hi, This is a perennial problem for me. I have been getting good results with FastTrack USB interface + M-Audio dynamic XLR mic, but just recently I detected a low ticking sound in the background of an audio recording. This is some kind of interference but annoyingly it is intermittant so very...

Hi, will the Boss BR-600 allow me to multitrack songs please? and if so, how - i mean - can you see your individual tracks in a window for example, or can you use your computer's monitor to see what's going on, and to arrange / edit tracks please? http://www.roland.com/products/en/BR-600/...

hi, was using a budget condenser mic into M-Audio USB FastTrack pc interface and getting mixed results. swopped to the 'soundcheck' because FT is designed for XLR mics, which this is. the earlier mic had a mini jack through an xlr converter which probably did not help matters either anyway -...

hi, just bought this headphone amp to boost the signal from my bass guitar into M-Audio FastTrack recording interface - plugged the mini amp into my bass, plugged the headphones in, made sure the amp was set 'on' with pilot light ok. all i get is a loud buzzing in the phones - no bass sounds at...

hi this is an experiment using MixCraft software + analogue bass, guitars and electronic drums http://www.box.net/shared/tqnnauuq4a recording with computers is a headache due to driver updates and so forth but it beats home-analogue audio cassette technology hands down ;) kr
