I'm a sound designer so i know how to program synths and how to make sounds. What i now want to learn is to play a bit more instead of dealing with one sound at a time like i do when making sounds. I know the chords and that the notes they contain can be played separately and stuff but how about scales. Can i take a scale and play it's notes as a melody?

Hi

Out of all the Fx I use, Noise gates are the one that give me so much trouble. Compressors are usually the culprits in any novices set up...

I always try to record dry, no fx no compression.
Other people I have spoken too put FX on things... OK I might record with compression on Bass guitar, but thats about as far as it goes...

hey all, was just about to invest in the M-audio Delta 1010LT soundcard. Any feedback?

Love the spirit of this newsgroup...just had to say so! been so thrilled to find it!

I need some expert advise on the use of a AD/DA converter for PC recording. I am using an Yamaha dsp factory and am wondering if I would benefit from a converter. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Hi folks
I'mm looking for suggestions for a cheap converter with or without a pre for guide vocal. SPDIF or ADAT. I can't spring for more quality conversion at this time.
thanks Roly

Since we are all waxing nostalgic on the old keyboards (Thanks Alecio!), what was the very first keyboard you owned? And, just for fun, how did you amplify it?

Uncle Bobs first: The Farfisa Fast III with a Gibson Thor bass amp.

Oh boy am I dating myself!

Peace to all! :p:

Does anyone have an opinion on this mic? I was thinking about this one or the Baby Bottle by BLUE. Which should I get? It will be used mainly for vocals. Or any other suggestions? Thanks!

Don't set the drink there!

... i like what i've heard about the m audio dmp3 mic preamp, and am wondering if i would have a problem running out of the balanced outs on the pre to the unbalanced ins on my audiophile 24/96 card using a quality 1/4 inch to rca cable?
thanks-jv

Does anyone know how to hook up this mixing board with nuwindow?

Recently I have had the luck of being around some pretty good equipment. Including some very nice converters. I have heard the Lynx22, Apogeerosetta, and a pro tools rig. All sounded very nice. I couldn't really pick out much because I dont know how much of the sound I was hearing was contributed to the pre,mic,or effects.
