Hi all - I know the difference between a monaural TRS cable that is used for hum-cancelling balanced line, and a stereo TRS cable that carries two separate L and R signals - my question is, are the cables and connectors themselves one and the same thing?

I am currently looking to get a midi keyboard controller for my setup, and have been stuck on three choices for a week now. The M-audio Axiom Pro 49, Akai MPK49, and Novation sl mkii 49. I have heard both good and bad things from people on all three of these and cannot decide. If it is any consellation i will be running Cubase with this controller.
Thanks for any replies.

I am looking for some expert thoughts on this one please ;-)

I am using Sonar x1 which I love by the way! and my inputs and outputs are going through a noisy soundcraft spirit sx desk-have cleaned inside but ready for the tip I think!

I am really fed up with the crackling and having to keep moving sliders back and fore to get rid of the noise!

I am working with a :
dell inspiron 1525
pentium dual core 2.20 GHZ
4 GB ram
IDT sound card

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a very analog guy. I do almost all of my processing OTB. I do think that a console adds a lot to the sound and if the summing circuit has something special about it it would color the sound like any other analog unit.

Could someone please help me figure this out? I run Cubase 5 full retail version on a Dell XPS 630 with a Tascam FW-1884 interface. I have used this setup for 2 years without a problem and I just installed a new harddrive. When I try to record, any insert effects that I setup are not being used when tracking. However when I play the recorded track back the effect is then on the track.

Hi, i was wondering, is it possible to modulate sound by aliasing? i mean sampling analog signal with lower then 2x Nyquist frequency but with high bit depth?

I am going to be recording a bell set for a Indie/Hawaiian/Folk kind of song. I thought about just using a keyboard or MIDI sound, but I feel there is more integrity in going for the actual acoustic instrument.

Here are my current available mic choices:

1 LDC - AT2020
2 SDC - Cheap Nady's
1 SM58
Multiple Cheap Nady Drum Mics

Hello,

I want to bend some ambient noise that I'm making through my guitar. I'm not sure if I'm using the right term. I want to change the sound in the same way as the nob that comes standard on most cheap keyboards does, bringing the note down seamlessly one or more steps.

Thanks for your help!

I've been handling the care and feeding of the church sound reinforcement system for a while now and doubling as the roadie for our traveling singers. FWIW, the church PA is a garden variety TOA mixer/amp in a rack with Shure SM58 wireless mics, wired podium mics on the pulpit and and lectern, and a Tascam tape deck. We've been distributing and posting podcasts of the sermon.
