how abt a minidisc player for recording?
a lot of musicians prefer to use md players for recording their compositions. is the quality good if u connect say a elec guitar directly to the line in? |

QUOTE(Moses @ May 31 2005, 01:52 PM) If you only need to record a single input, the audigy 2 or any other modern soundcard for that matter would suffice...the actual quality of the analogue-digital conversion would be subjective to anyone. sorry o/t...are u moses from throne away?What I think is that the quality of the input sources that is more important. Try as hard as you may, but a RM10,000 PRS guitar would definitely sound better than a RM800 Strat copy. I find that MP3 players with the line-in function are great tools for musicians, especially instrumentalists...gone are the days when you would crack your head trying to remember that fantastic riff you made up the other day...BUT if you plan to record an electric guitar straight into an MP3 player's input, you have to be aware that the line-in of the MP3 player is suited for only low impendance line-level inputs (i.e. keyboards, dynamic mics). If you plug your guitar straight in, there would be slight distortion on the recording as the guitar's output is high-impendance. You can use a DI box to solve this. But hey, if its only riffs you want to record, who cares about a little distortion =) Have fun!  |

I'm using n-Track Studio 4 for multi-track recording. Switched to Cakewalk Sonar 4 but i'm having a problem with the MIDI output. When i chose the MIDI Mapper as the output, Cakewalk doesn't seem to acknowledge and doesn't respond. Any idea why this happens? MIDI output from Guitar Pro 4 is just fine btw.

In SONAR 4, if you like to hear your MIDI sound out, than you should choose
Options- MIDI Devices -outpus -Miscrosoft GS Wavetable SW Synth. with this you should able to hear the MIDI sound |

thanx...
my setup: emu 1212m (still can't get enuff) cubase 1.05 (amplitube inside yey) reason 3.0 (rewired) problem is i can't record wit 96KHz, but can mix at that rate (any idea)...sad huh.. ni guitar rig?is ur's bundled wit foot switch?heard the demo tho...u can get rare sound wit it, cooooolll...but sure i'ts complicated to set...amplitube is hot..hot..hot... that's a must when guitars involved... i assume u plug ur guitar trough guitar rig then emu, so how's the signal (bright, muddy) within ur adobe with fx bypassed?cos mine has to use di box or mixer or v-amp to get brighter input...(tried the compressor in emu's dsp, but still not satisfied)...this emu sure get me "pening"rather than m-audios. |

That's actually a sweet guitar tone, very warm even after compression.
Nice rhythm playing too!!! Keep it up! |
