I just wanted to take a minute or two to tell yall what I've been doing lately. I have a Triton Rack fully expanded to 96 meg of RAM. Thats 17 minutes of mono recording, or 8.5 minutes of stereo recording. I have a SCSI card and ZIP drive hooked up to it (SCSI card and ZIP drive = $200.00). I'm recording the whole song with the Triton, dump it to Cubase, Logic or Pro tools which ever the customer wants to use that they might be familiar with, go to "sample mode", set the "sampling record" to "auto start" when a certain Threshold is met, play the song back on the workstation, and they start singing the verse, chorus, or hook into the sampler. Come back, trigger the vocals as a sample, and just "place" them at whatever measure they are to start at.

Its a pretty cool way to have digital audio recording and one of the best synths all in one package. I've seen the Triton Rack brand new as low as $1300.00 + the SCSI borad and ZIP drive for $200.00. Nice way to have Digital audio recording and a synth for $1500.

TIP: If any of yall are doing this, or want to do it....record your vocals in mono to get the most sample time remaining. Double your vocals. Example, say you recorded a vocal track as a sample, and you assigned it to channel 1. Pan it left. Assign the same sample also to channel 2 pan it right. Trigger both of them at the same measure, Depending on your sequencer you can copy and paste the sequence from one track to another (from 1 to 2, 3 to 4). And you'll have enought sample time left to use youe loops, sampled drums keys or whatever.


Anyway, just my thought for the day.

I'm curious if anyone else is doing this, or something similar to this.
