Hey Nate! A friend has a DAW and uses emagics, he has midi capability and sounds. His problem, he has a bass drum Wavestrack that he can't use, some distortion (clipping I expect), renders it useless to mix. He wants to trigger a midi bass drum track, useing the BD wave track as the trigger. What plugin , or set-up within his DAW would he use to accomplish this. Any ideas?

I am new to recording and just got a digital 4-track machine. I have figured out how to record music to the smart card but now want to transfer the song to my PC where I can then burn a CD or make an MP3. What hardware/software/shareware/freeware might I need to facilitate the transfer of the data to the PC.

I have heard that you can automate MIDI-compatible effects units using a sequencer. MIDI is very confusing to me, but I'm sure it will cut down on the number of hands I need for mixdown! There are a number of projects I'm working on that need effects punched in and out. What are the best (affordable) sequencers for this purpose, and does anybody have any tips on using them?

Dear Friend,

We are very delighted to inform you that we have released

Let's say I have a mixer w/ unbalanced i/o and another piece of gear w/ balanced i/o and they're both connected in both ways ins and outs. Is there any way to transform the unbalanced signal into balanced? If yes, how should it be done and pricewise does it worth to be done in many channels?

Has anyone built a RYO using a DFI WT70-E mobo and a 1.5Gig P4? It uses the Intel 850 chipset.

I just bought a new MIDI controller(88 keys, no onboard sounds) I want to use it for EVERYTHING...VSTi's, outboard modules etc.

Ash normally says something's discontinued when they don't carry it (this seems to be "Standard Operating Procedure" for them--back when I worked at Ensoniq, they said this about some of the Ensoniq products that were very current at the time.) Also, while doing a search for something else on Soundscape's website, I stumbled on a "3rd party developer" document for Mixtreme, dated 8/8/01--the pr
