I got asked about the keyboard people could see in the various videos on microphones - it's  a Swissonic 88 note master keyboard and it's got loads of faders and rotary controls, plus a set of drum pads - I've recorded what comes out of Cubase and what the mic in the studio can hear - make your own mind up.

Look at this. And to think, I studied music to be taken out like this lol . I admit, the guy has a killer set of fingers. No wonder there is no money left in this business. One day music store will be selling music making products like a kids hobby shop.

Any compare the pads between example the MPC 60 vs NI MASCHINE? How do they feel and respond?

Hi,

I was testing this old Tascam PB-32 patchbay by running a 1'4" cable from one of the back jacks into the line in on my console, then plugging a bass into the matching jack on the front. It worked, but it attenuated the signal by -18db when compared to the bass plugged directly into the line in on the console. Does anyone know if this is normal for Tascam patchbays?

Hello to all,
I have an Axiom 49 from M-Audio. Very nice product.
I was wondering if I could use a pair of drumsticks to hit the pads. I don't think really hit them hard...just enough to produce the sound i need. Will this make the pad ware out? or even make the pad malfunction? Any experiences? Any advices for the type of drumsticks to use?

Im looking into getting some remo practice pads,taking them apart,placing the trigger inside the unit,making my own drum set for use with my DM5.
I say one on a drum set made from pvc,and remo practice pads,with the piezo trigs in the practice pads---its dooable!
Anyone done this?
Does anyone have the remo practice pads---cause if you do-----I have a lot of quesrtions

I am ordering a pair of Kel HM-1's for my project studio. These mic's have to pad or HPF. I will be running these into my PreSonus Firepod which has mic preamp's, but no pad.

How effective are in line pads vs an integrated mic pad, and when should I use them?

Newbies. Don't you just love us! :oops:

Hello all. Just purchased the Sytek MPX-4Aii mic preamps, and will apparently need to pad down the signal in order to run the pres "hot" to my DAW. Any ideas about the most cost-effective way to achieve this?

I have a Mackie 1202-- will this work? I suppose I could run two channels through the main outs and two channels through the Auxes. Just wondering if there's a better way.

I'm wanting to play electronic drum pads with live drum samples rather than simply programming, to get the feel of a real drummer, but I've struck a problem...

I've hooked up my drum pads to my Alesisi D4 - works great - but the D4 internal sounds aren't so great, so...

I connected the MIDI out of the D4 to my EMU sampler hoping that I could use the drum pads via the D4 to trigger some great drum samples I've got in the EMU sampler, but.
