Hi, clueless noob here.

Basically, I am doing some sketches involving creating grooves using Band In a Box 12, exporting those tracks as MIDI, then importing them into Garage band. From there, I add some real instrument tracks. Overall, it seems to be working fairly well. I like the BIAB tracks much better than the Apple loops.

one day I'll get a preamp but right now it's just the mbox and I'm thinking about rerecording my songs and I'm wondering if I'll have to rerecord my drum tracks because they're done in REASON 4.0

so if the drums are a MIDI track originally and then sampled REASON drums would a preamp have any effect on it?

I have 3 options on hooking up my Yamaha clavinova to my computer for a midi signal.

option 1: midi cables to m-audio 2626
option 2: usb cable from piano to computer
option 3: midi to Yamaha UX-16 to computer (usb out of UX-16)

Has anyone had their MIDI I/O set up in a rack across the room from their computer (which is in a separate machine room) and use USB out of the back of the interface to a USB/Ethernet converter and then ran the ethernet through the floor/wall to an Ethernet/USB converter and then into their USB port on their computer?

Hey all,

I'm running Pro Tools HD 2, 7.4. My MIDI I/O has been really finicky as of late and will not sync up when I open Pro Tools. I'm going to head down there soon to try and troubleshoot the damn thing but I thought I'd ask around here first to try and get some idea on where to start or if anyone has any knowledge of this happening to them. Thanks!

I'm using Cubase LE and PreSonus Firebox for my audio interface. I don't know what's going on. I clicked on my firefox icon, changed the latency from 10ms to 8ms and then Cubase stopped playing midi sound. The signal is showing up in Cubase, it's just not making sound. Audio will work. I tried sticking it back and it didn't fix things. I restarted the computer and that didn't help either.

I use FL, Ableton, Reason and logic, I have a basic home studio and am lookin for some basic midi pad controllers, I was looking at these three, please tell me which would be the best or if you know any other good ones in this price range, And i know that in this prices range nothing is tooo good, but its all i can aford.

Ok, Sorry another noob to midi. My questions are of two relared (I believe) areas in 1, using HALion player with Korg recording as an instrument track and
2, Using Korg tr61 as midi instrument to record midi tracks (both instances with Cubase 4le.
