For the RMIV user's My high quality acoustic kits are available as well.

firepod out of sync

2007-05-22T13:52:58Z

Okay,

so my firepod has been a godsend so far.. very reliable interface.. but i'm running into a rather frustrating problem.

I rearranged the studio and while I was doing that I had to obviously unplug everything. I set everything back up and now my firepod refuses to go into sync with my computer. Now my computer is not really the most advanced piece of machinery and I find alot of times when I turn it off I have a hard time getting the firepod to go into sync with it but it always eventually works. I thought that maybe my firewire ports weren't working but my external hard drive works just fine.

I'm just not sure if it's my firepod or a computer issue (computer also starting making the "i have a broken fan" noise.)

my computer is one of those ampron processors or whatever (computer specs are not my forte) it's about 2 and a half years old now..

I'm hoping it's the computer and not the firepod that's the issue..

any ideas

routing music vs. metronome in a live setting via laptop.

2007-04-05T07:15:15Z

2 questions.
one software,
the other hardware.

situation:
i need to have my laptop playing back pre-recorded tracks ive made in FruityLoops at live shows.
i need the metronome [synced with the track] playing in my headphones and the music playing through the main out to the house sound system.

id like to use either FL or Nuendo for playback on my laptop.

is there a way to rout the metronome in FL [or Nuendo] to my headphones and the music to the main outs?
how would i do this?

what kind of hardware would i need?
the CHEEPEST POSSIBLE.
sound quality is not really an issue.
-----

i have to buy this soundcard this weekend and figure out how to set all this up the same day, so im a bit desperate.
i dont know alot about midi stuff, so dont feel bad about dumbing your answers down for me a bit.

many many many thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!

Digital Performer / Yamaha S90 / Macintosh

2006-10-22T00:30:01Z

hello everyone.

I haven't posted much on here, but I am getting desperate for answers, so hopefully somone can help me with my problem.

I am running Digital Performer version 4.5.2 on my Mac.
(my Mac = desktop single processor 400 MHz G4 with 640 MB SDRAM and 20 GB of memory capacity)
I am also running Mac OS 10.3.9

I have a Yamaha S90 synth hooked up to my Mac via direct high-speed USB cable. On the Yamaha S90, it has a USB output that allows for MIDI connection directly via USB cable. I have my USB cable plugged into a USB hub (4 port hub).

OK.

So when I'm recording MIDI tracks, I am able to record onto every MIDI track that I create. No problems there.

BUT, when I play back what I've just recorded, I'm ONLY able to hear what's been recorded onto track 1. When I de-select track 1, and select ANOTHER midi track, I cannot hear anything during playback, even though I can see the midi data recorded in the track window.

I have a small BOSS keyboard amp (maybe 4" speaker) as an output from my S90, via 1/4" cable.

All my equipment seems to be working fine (gear isn't dated enough to where it doesn't work.... y'know?). I believe this to be a problem of my lack of knowledge on selecting output somewhere on Digital Performer, or possibly even through my Audio Midi Setup (I have my Audio Midi setup set to where it transmits and receives -- both -- 16 channels.... is this correct?)

Anyway, I hope I'm explaining myself well enough.
Thank you for any and all responses with this.... I appreciate it.

East/West Symphonic Choirs Group Buy...

2006-09-24T19:00:49Z

Alright, I am kinda frustrated since I just bought this for $900(us) a few months ago.... But if you make ambient, electronic music in the same universe as Conjure One, Enigma, Delerium, etc., check this out. I guess East/West Sounds is doing some kind of 'group sale' on Symphonic Choirs, where the more people order it at once, the bigger the discount. If they got over 500 people to order it, it becomes 60% off... Well, last I checked they are at 507 orders, now making it $350ish(us). This program is a lot of fun(Especially if you can't afford a REAL choir), and you can actually type in words for the 'choir' to sing. And the sample quality is frikkin amazing. I just wish I would've been more patient, as I would've had an extra $600 in my pocket, lol... Either way, this is a great deal and I figured I'd pass on the info!!! I just hope they do this deal with the Symphonic Orchestra, now!

Here's a link to their forums and the announcement:

Hey everyone. I stopped in a while ago to tell you about a project I was working on, splicemusic.com and get some advice from you. I wanted to stop back to say thanks again and to tell you that the site is officially open to the public. This means you can now join without an invitation!

If you missed the original posts, Splice is founded on the idea that creativity breeds creativity. You upload your tracks, loops, hits, samples, whatever... then you can build songs and remix them in the online sequencer. You can also use whatever everyone else has added to the site. When you're done, publish it for people to listen to and rate, AND if they want to, they can remix the song with their own personal twist.

Not only is this really fun, it's really practical for all the musicians like me who have lots of friends online that we'd love to play with, but never get a chance to meet in person. I'm really excited about this site and I'd love to see more people on there (we have more fun that way.)

Anyway, just wanted to let you know. If I can't make posts like this here, just let me know and I'll happily take it down. I am building the LJ for Splice, too, over at splicemusic. It's a bit of a mess still, but give me two days & I'll have it all running. It's been a crazy week. :)

See you inside!

HELP!

2006-07-31T06:59:47Z

hello everyone.... I am new to this group and have many many many questions regarding home recording with my Macintosh G4 (one of the first versions made available: bought in 1998, 400MHz processor, 20 gigs memory, 640 MB SDRAM, currently running Mac OS 10.3.9 ) and my Yamaha S90 synthesizer. I am using a single high-speed USB cable as MIDI interface (nice feature about the S90 with its built-in USB interface)..... HOWEVER.

I am running into problems recording. Every time I insert a patch change to a MIDI track and record a MIDI track.... if I add another MIDI Track and try to insert a DIFFERENT patch change to record OTHER sounds to LAYER on top of the previously recorded tracks, it automatically changes ALL the other MIDI Tracks to that sound/voice.

In other words.... tonight, I was trying to record a piano track via MIDI. It records fine. It plays back fine. But now that I'm satisfied with this track, I'd like to add ANOTHER MIDI Track to add some strings to the song, etc. When I try to choose any other patch (strings, bass, drums, etc.) it will change the original piano track to playback as a (string, bass, drums, etc.) voice.

I am openly admitting my "greenhorns" when it comes to audio recording. Basically, most of you will probably have to speak to me like a child....

But I promise to be patient and understanding (I learn quickly), and I do have SOME background to audio/MIDI recording.

If any of you are patient enough to give me some advice, I would me most grateful and appreciative.

Thank you all for your time with this.

Sincerely,
Brian Jackson

Hey I just joined this community and I was trying to record earlier today with Adobe Audition but when I tried to do playback with what I had recorded already, it kept skipping and going very slow, stopping, etc. Anyone know why that happened? It used to work fine....is it because there's too many wav files open or something, cuz I didn't think there were that many to stop it up like that....Thanks

Mixing songs via the internet

2006-06-09T04:57:25Z

Hi. I hope this kind of post is allowed here (if not, you can delete it, or let me know and I'll happily do it myself). It just seemed to me that a lot of people here would be interested in this:

I'm Amiee. I have some friends that are getting ready to launch a music collaboration site. The site is unlike anthing else I've seen: designed so that you can upload your sounds or loops and then mix them with sounds and loops that other people have uploaded. You can publish songs together, or remix something that someone else published. The more the merrier!

The site is really coming along and they are getting ready to launch their beta version soon, but right now, they are looking for a few more intelligent musical types (that'd be you!) to come over and play and see what you think. Feedback is good! I have some invites for anyone that is willing to come give it a shot and let us know what you think. This phase of testing is only open to a handful of people, but I'd really like YOUR specific input, since this is what YOU do. :)

If you're interested in making music with people from around the world, as well as getting in on this site from the beginning, or know someone else who is, hit me up here, or send me an email at thaumata@gmail.com and I will be more than happy to hook you up. I'm having a great time on there already, and I've already met some really fun musicians that I can't wait to record with.

Join us?? :)

tascam us-428 part 2

2005-11-23T01:09:24Z

I talked to Tascam on the phone, and solved my problem in a few hours. If I had known how to fix it, it would have taken a few seconds. The manual that came with it is pathetic. When I bought a Tascam 4-track years ago, it came with a manual that actually went into detail and demonstrated how to use it. I have my eye on something else. Is M-Audio a good company?

P.S. If anyone cares, I have a couple of songs on myspace music. They're very simple, but feedback is appreciated.

tascam us-428

2005-11-22T05:29:22Z

Hello! I've just joined this group. I am new to computer recording, but have recorded on an analog 4-track in the past. I recently got a Tascam US-428 mostly because I need something with at least 4 lines in so I can record from my 4-track. The problem I'm having is that I can't hear any input in the headphones. At first I could hear it, then I couldn't hear any input from channel "A", then nothing at all! I don't think I changed any settings. The US-428 is selected as the audio out on my computer and I can hear tracks recorded on Cubase LE and all other sounds from my computer in the headphones. I can even see the levels coming in and record new input and even listen to it after it's recorded. I'm getting very frustrated and want to get rid of this piece of sh*t and get something else. Any advice before I talk to Tascam tomorrow morning would be much appreciated.

Anyone in South Florida looking for a Mac recording system?

2005-09-30T16:22:05Z

So, it looks like I have a perfectly good Mac G4 dual 450(W/ 512mb memory, OS X and 9, and other assorted goodies) to sell off, which I am thinking of selling as a reasonably priced package with a battle hardened Digidesign Digi001 w/ Pro Tools LE(You can run an ADAT into it and get an additional 8 inputs for a total of 16 simultaneous ins!), that was used to record several projects(One of which was The Lackloves - Star City Baby)
in a bonafide music studio(Walls Have Ears in Milwaukee, WI). If anyone in the South Florida area is interested, let me know. Not to mention, I would help you with any tech issues and things like that. It may be a couple of years old, but its a damned good system, which I still swear by.

**Disclaimer** The only reason I am thinking of selling this system off is because I just ended up upgrading a bunch of my equipment and software and it serves no purpose to me any longer(Made the jump to Pro Tools HD3 and a shiny new Mac G5!). This isn't some broken down, burned out, useless Mac system. It needs a good home and I will be sad to see it go!!!

COMPRESSION

2005-09-09T03:55:17Z

ive been doing differant kinds of recording for a few years now, but im nearly completely self taught, which in this field can really work against you!!!
so basically consider me a noob.

i have a question regarding compression.

i have a Behringer ULTRAGAIN ADA8000 that i plug my mics into.
that goes through an optical cable to my my EMU1212m, then to Nuendo.

in Nuemdo i add compression with the built-in VSTs.

but my thing is this: i heard it is better to compress a signal comeing IN rather than after recording....
but i dont want to go out and buy a hardware compressor if its not neccessary. if i can get by with software, id like to.
and if i can get by with software, what should i get? and how should that work in the chain?

im very worried that because im using the ADA8000 that i may not be able to even use a hardware compressor though. as it has the PREs built into the damn thing. (one reason i actually bought it! LOL)
and i heard that the compressor has to go after the PRE but before the recording device (Nuendo).

so whats up?
how would you handle this?

presonus firepod.

2005-07-02T06:53:29Z

hey everyone. i am new to the community. my name is nick maynard and i use my trusty emac for all of my home-recording. i love reason and use it daily.

i was wondering what people thought of the preonus firepod. i am considering buying it to expand my recording possibilities.

i mainly use garageband right now. but i also have live on my computer. and the firepod comes with cubase.

i have many friends who have gotten their bachelors degrees in sound recording who now work at some very great studios. all of these friends say that it is a great buy. every review of it i read is positive. i am just trying to find out as much as i can before i buy it.

any thoughts?

Simple Audio Recording Software

2005-06-30T21:16:05Z

Hi people, I switched from PC's to Macs a couple of years ago and I think they're great, but one thing I have not been able to find is a simple program that records sounds from an internal microphone. You know how Windows has Sound Recorder? Well I'm looking for a MacIntosh equivalent...I have System 10 Panther and I'd rather use a program that's simpler than Sound Studio and doesn't run in Classic. I've been scouring the internet in search of free software downloads but have been unable to find anything that works, is free, or lets me save my recordings without purchasing the software. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

How do you guys/gals have your modules and ‘digital wiring diagram’ setup in Reason 2.5 [or later]?

Just trying to undertake some new ideas on internal setups to make better use of the wonderful sound palette available, as well as undertaking an effort in fattening and enhancing the sound in Reason as well.

Tips are welcome…..and if anyone wants any subtractor patches, I have loads.

If you are feeling froggy, do a print screen and let us all see as well what you are referring to.

Cheers.
