i'm experiencing this situation with my drums sound
i just moved my equipments around and suddenly my drums nouw have this echos
the other sound don't seem to be affected by i don't know
anyway...
my synth is connected to my fw1884 by
midi
Audio L/R

Maybe someone has experience something similar

thanks
 
What kind of Echo? Is it a natural echo? Or is it more of an "electronic" echo?
 
the sound is doubled

it stopped when i unplugged the midi in from my soundcard, which is not a preferred situation when i have to keep on replugging for playback

any ideas folks
 
So your playing your drums in via your synth? or do you have a seperate drum machine? How exactly do you have your synth (And seperate drum machine if you use one) set up to your pc? (What cables are you using etc?)
 
the drums are from the synth, which i sometimes change in cubase via vst

i go from the synth to the soundcard by midi and 1/4" cable for audio, so ineed to plug the midi in when i recorded something in cubase via midi for playback

I had similar experiences.
When connecting synth to PC soundcard via midi in/out, I would get this doubling happening. What was happening was on mixer, in channel A was the synth, and channel B was the sound card audio output.
What was happening is the PC was playing a midi patch and I was playing a patch on the synth. I just wanted to play the synth, so I had to set channel B to Zero or Off.

By unplugging the midi in on your soundcard, the soundcard wasn't playing any sounds. What you were experiencing was the midi was playing on the PC soundcard and drum machine at the same time. Your drum machine must have had "send midi" turned on. Check that out.

There are other ways around this, like the MIDI MAPPER on the PC
You can have midi channels 1 to 9, 11 to 16 from PC, and channel 10 on the drum machine. You can save the setup with a name, and switch configurations. I do this. My synth can only receive 5 midi channels for palyback. So one of my configs is channel 1 to 5 midi out (to synth), 6 to 16 from soundblaster. I have posted more info on this before. Do a search on MIDI MAPPER in the forums.
 
i failed to mention that my soundcard is my mixer, and that threw me off your solution
any idea in such a case
