    The difference between PC's and samplers....

    Hey, Some of you are missing the point of the post...hardware samplers like that Emu and the MPC series ARE computers, they all have the similar components and run on software, I was trying to get people to explain the differences between the two so that both camps could have a better...

    Hey, Digital Audio Labs, for some reason, charges twice what other companies charge for cards of similar specs. The Card Deluxe you've mentioned runs for about $400-$500... The Echo Mia, which also sports 4 balanced 1/4" plugs and spdif, is less than $200. On the DAL site they...

    Hey, Wow, that was fast.... For cheap cards, the Live is the best value at only $30 online for an OEM version, but there aren't any ASIO drivers for it with the newer operating systems like 2000 or XP. The Audigy when it was first released was a big turd because the drivers were crap, I...

    Hey, 1. Get a fast computer. Anything over 1ghz should suit you just fine, I used to run sequencers and softsynths on PII 350's a few years ago. 2. Get a good sequencing program. My favorite is Cubase, but there are others out there like Sonar. These two support most of the virtual...

    The difference between PC's and samplers....

    Here we go... You will notice that the guts of my Emu e6400 Ultra has the same type of guts as a computer, except that there is no mouse, the 'keyboard' is small and the 'monitor' is a backlit LCD. You can use normal RAM that fits in a computer, you can use normal floppy drives fit in a...

    hi to everyone

    Hey, HHAHAHAHAH!!!! How did you know, Fade? I'll say this right away: I love Emu equipment more and more every day: They're cheap, they've got great sounds, and you can edit them from a computer, you can expand them... Emu/Ensoniq have made a new line of keyboards based on their Proteus...

    Performing live?

    Hey, DAT's used to run in the thousands, nowadays they're probably in the hundreds. Tascam used to make a nice one called the DA-30, we have one at work rigged as a ghetto answering machine. You can record to a DAT machine in one of two ways: 1. Connect the analogue outs of your source...

    Performing live?

    Hey, In order of sonic quality: 1. DAT 2. CD 3. Minidisc. Why? 1. DAT is recorded at 48khz, 16 bits. 2. CD's are recorded at 44.1khz, 16 bits. 3. Minidisc uses compression to get all that sound on the small disc, this will compromise the quality of the audio. However, if your...

    Performing live?

    Hey, You mean this? http://www.360systems.com/docs/prod_ir_main.html This is what radio guys use to fire off sounds on the air, it's like a sampler with big chunky buttons...with no MIDI! Nick

    Some stuff to drool over...

    Hey, For all you MIDI users out there, here is a list of nice links to different MIDI controllers/fader boxes to control the parameters of your hardware and software synths, samplers, sequencers, etc. http://www.evolution.co.uk/moreinfo/hardware/pro49c.htm...

    Good Masterkeyboard?

    Hey, Take this from someone who learned the hard way: Your controller is VERY important. Make sure it does what you want, else you will be selling it in the future and getting another one... Things I look for in a controller: -semi-weighted keys -Tx velocity -Tx aftertouch...

    Any one Use kurzweil equipment??

    Hey, STAY AWAY FROM THAT MODULE. I just read a pretty in-depth review of it in last month's Sound on Sound, it gave it a very high rating for the sounds, but a very poor rating for everything else. Basically it said that: 1. The manual was a joke. 2. Its MIDI implementation was a...
