allright than!! Thanx for offering your help Scott
the first thing I want to ask.: Is it possible to use the virtual tracks and the main track simultaneously for playback?? or just one at a time?
2nd : I've a problem that the vocals sound in front of the music even when i change the volume of it ... Is this a mixing problem??
3rd: I use my korg i3 sequencer to arrange all of the music... then I take the drums, bass en backing music to three different stereo tracks on the D1200 . And for the vocals i use a different track(track one) : Is this way of working good..or do i have to change that??
Looking forward to your answers!

Vikash, in reply to your questions..........
>Is it possible to use the virtual tracks and the main track simultaneously for playback?? or just one at a time? <
Only one per track, for example 1a or 1b or 1c etc.
But you could have 1a & 2c & 3B etc if you wanted.
If you have a track on 1a and you want to also listen to 1b at the same time, you will have to move it to another channel (you can swap virtual tracks to any other channel)
>2nd :I've a problem that the vocals sound in front of the music even when i change the volume of it ... Is this a mixing problem?<
It's probably a combination of your voice, the mic you use, how far away you sing from the mic and what you do with effects.
If your voice sounds boomy, try singing a little further back from the mic. Try removing some of the low end with your EQ then add some compression & a little reverb. Trying this might help some but it's best to experiment to find a sound you like.

I do a similar thing using my PC to sequence my drum machine & keyboard. Using the Korg as the master timer, I can track the rest of my parts (vocals, acoustic guitar or whatever) and then record the midi parts on seperate tracks when I'm ready to do the mix.
This gives me more control over the effects etc of the individual midi parts and has the added advantage of letting me tweak the midi parts right up to the last moment.
This is just one way of working- there's no right or wrong. If it works for you then that's what matters.
Hope this helps.

Thanx S for the advice. I'll try it out!!
Another question that I have: Is it posibble to bonce everything on two tracks...so you record again on the free tracks..and bonce them again to the previous twop tracKs..and so on??? Because then you could have as many tracks as you want!!??
regards,
Vikash

You can bounce tracks as much as you like- check out the manual to see how you do it (if you don't have the manual you can download it from the Korg website).
The tracks will lose a *little* bit of quality with each bounce but you wont really hear any difference until you've bounced the same tracks a *lot* of times.
Once you've 'done the bounce', you can move the original parts onto virtual tracks and free up the channels.
Once you're happy with your final mix, you will have to bounce ALL the tracks to 2 tracks if you want to burn the song to a CD.

Does anyone know if the Korg D1200 enables you to record at 20 or 24 bit and then compress the final mix to 16 bit for burngint CD. I am trying to determine whehter to purchase a D1200 with the Yamaha AW16. Thanks for you help.

Why would you lose sound quality when bouncing digital tracks? That does apply to analog bouncing but not to digital. Yes you can bounce the tracks and free up tracks to continue recording but remember you are losing the ability to mix the tracks later. You need to keep your tracks separate if possible. There is no need to record everything to stereo tracks to burn to a CD if you are using an standalone burner or sending to a computer. You may have to if you are using an internal burner ( I have a D8 - no internal burner ), I don't know, but I don't see why you should have to. The outputs are sending a stereo signal from all the channels. The basic idea is, keep your mixing options open, i.e. keep the tracks separate. You may want to go back and change an effect on a track, bring down a level, etc.
