I was thumbing through old issues of Modern Drummer and came across a product review of Tama's Air Ride snare suspension stand.

Anyone who has tried it, watched, or worked with a drummer using one:

- Did the snare sound better, different, more "natural", more resonant? or what?

- Were rimshots more defined, singing, pronounced?

What audible difference is heard with quality A/D converters over the ones in the XT20?
Are there other reasons one would want to go with external converters in conjunction with an Alesis XT20?

What would be a good choice for converters to use with the XT20?

Ciao,

I am looking for a good pair of small diaphragm cardioid condensers to use professionally on small classical ensembles and solo piano. What mics would one generally use for this purpose? Right now I am looking at Neumann KM184, Earthworks SR77, AKG C451B and Elation KM201. What does everyone think of these mics for this purpose?

I am ready to throw in the towel! I feel like SOS when he was building his system a few months ago where nothing was going right...This has been a disaster of monumental proportions!

Ive been playing guitar and piano for 8 years and have found other people to jam with about 2 years ago. I was asking people around about recording and someone suggested this site. so heres where I'm at. Now were at the point where we would like to do some recordings. Ive been using my computer with a santa cruz sound card (not meant of recording obviously).

Here's something I found interesting... I just picked up my latest complimentary copy of "MIX" from the mail box. (Thank You PRIMEDIA) I started thumbing through it and I spotted (for the first time) an ad for AMD Anthlon. Wow! A chip manufacturer that is actually going for the recording market! Duh!

i'm trying to figure out how to play the keys on my roland 307 so that they will record in a sequence on my MPC2000XL. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. I was able to do so with the Triton but i'm having trouble doing it with my roland for God (and you) only knows why! Please help.

Hi! Can somebody please shed a a lot of light on how to proberly midi up my MPC and Roland MC307. What i am tryin' to do is play the keys on the 307 and have them record into the sequence of my MPC. I've recently learned that i needed a mixer to do this (duh) and was successful at doing it with my friends Triton.

Im a Cubase SX user with a SB live card on my comp. I was able to borrow a vocal and condenser mic from a friend of mine. I have a cord and an add on that will enable me to connect the condeser and the vocal mic to my computer for a recording session. Will this work or will i fry something?.
