nice setup! I like the guitar, altho the teddy bear comes a close second

My setup is spread between 2 places and my room is so small i have to stand 2 of my synths on their sides! I will post piccys when i get a chance.

Teddy Bears act as sound absorbent from the reflections coming from the tweeters.Ha!

You should not hv latency issues using the Audiophile ASIO driver. BTW, Audiophile does not hv on board MIDI capabilities, only MIDI I/O....



As for me, I am using AUdiophile solely for Audio, and Soundblaster for my MIDI interface with my sound module.

yes, most professional audio card does not have on-board MIDI synth.... but in terms of recording quality they are significantly better than SBcards...



keep your SBLive for MIDI and get a real audio card.

yo den.... hows the offer so far... any takers so far?

[heclak]

Shure should be able to service it for you.But charges i'm not too sure.Look out on the shure website for the singapore office to check.

For PC,i would recommend Cakewalk Sonar 3.
If not,Cubase SX is also a good choice.However the reverbs are not that gd.You will need to get some reverb plug-ins.Not advised if you are on a budget.

I'm not too sure with the plug-ins on the lower-end cakewalk products.Shouldn't be that bad.

 

[parablue74]

You'll right!!! Software reverb plugins sure doesn't make it, it ain't just reverb, the chorus plugins are horrid, not to mention the distortion. It's only the EQs that really do a good job.
Cakewalk reverb plugins aren't very good, i prefer TC Works and Waves. However, i would most prefer using hardware reverbs altogether. Somehow, everytime i record, i don't record clean, i try to use the reverb and chorus from the instrument itself, if there is any. More like an estimate, and when there ain't enuff reverb, just a slight coating from plugins.
As for compression, Cubase compression plugin is good, adds a warmth, and Waves is clear..

Sonar is better than Cubase in that it has better arrangement facilities, makes it quicker. Cubase functions are clumsy, so hard to cut and paste etc.. Moreover, one good thing about Sonar is that it accepts VST plugins as well.
Haven't played around with others like Nuendo or Ableton Live yet though, so no comments on those.

i use my on board sequencer on my yamaha. i'm wondering what can i do to simply transfer whole sale, onto a CD without any editing or 3rd party. Kinda like a wav recorder that writes to CD of sorts?

 

[veganbleu]

Sonar reverbs are quite good. There's the lexicon pantheon, modelled after the classic hardware lexicon reverbs that appear on the classifieds sometimes, the sonitus reverb, which though from a now defunct company is quite nice and deep, and the cakewalk fx sound stage, which has independent source placements and stereo width parameters so if you want to you can replicate each instrument placement.

Though. it sometimes sounds better if there are different sources with hardware gear.
