I tried creating my own drums with a midi keyboard, but that didn't work out for me...so it's back to Fruity Loops. Does anyone know of any good CD's and contain single drum hits? (Kick, Snare, Hats...etc). I want real drums, and I want to create something that sounds more human. I do an ok job with the samples in Fruity Loops, but I think it would be better with nicer samples.

anybody know anything about these? My budy just grabbed one off of ebay... It looks like a pretty neat little machine, worth the $300 or so that he paid for the mixer alone.

We will likely be mixing in N Track, and only using the Tascam to record.

i am looking at getting a new computer just for recording and audio. i am a newbie and have really no idea what i am looking for. is a mac or pc better? i have really been looking at ibooks. what is a program thats easy enough to get started with. any help is appriciated. until then i'll just keep reading other posts. thanks.

so i guess it called like the audio window or something on the right in pro tools that has ur tracks listed. i have a bunch of unnceccesary tracks just taking up space over there. what do i do with all these? there are tracks that worked with a while ago that i have no use for! why would i want all these takes and what not?

We're in the process of upgrading our studio, in I'm in a debate with my producer about which pre-amp to go with. We're looking for the best upgrade to get a better sound in vocals. Our style of music we've been recording has been Rap, R&B, and worship. We're upgrading our mic to a Shure KSM27. Right now we're using the pre-amp built-in our Behringer mixer.

I have narrowed my search for a vocal mic down to these 2, but I can't decide which one. I am going to be using it mostly for vocals, maybe a little acoustic guitar, but I am more concerned with the vocals. Give me your opinions. From what I have heard from others, it seems that the C3 is an all around better mic, but the C1 is better for vocals. Thanks for your help on this.

:? i have a fender strat copy and i am having big trouble playing and recording stuff on it . it makes a lot of noise, and i mean a lot of noise.
even when the guitar is muted from the strings with hand. or when not touched.(when touched the noise is slightly lessen)
using any amp. vamp2, line 6 pod2, this problem does not occur using the same equipment but different guitar.

Hi,
There's a new Digi EQIII plug for Pro Tools, and it's free download
on the Digidesign web. It seems to be a nice EQ, should be ok for
both TDM and LE. I've downloaded and installed it (Mac G5 OSX,
PT LE), but the plug doesn't show up in the list of the plugins
(installation went Ok and Mac was re-started).

At one point in my life I was using some Event TR6s as near field monitors. Turns out they are built so badly that the main board inside burnt out. So now I have no monitors, but I don't care, b/c I was never good at mixing with those things anyway.

I am looking for suggestions for a digital input device for recording into my Mac/Garage Band.

I am currently using a Tascam US-122, and it works very well. Now that I have GB2 I can record up to 8 tracks at simultaniously. The US-122 affords me the ability to record two seperate track.
