Soundfont vs. Vst?
I use a VST plugin (EXSP24) to get access to my library of Soundfonts. For acoustic sounds, It's always soundfonts. For synths and electric pianos, always VSTi's. -
Difference
12bit sound vs 16 bit sound. It's like the difference between an S950 and an S1000. One has that grade-A crunch, the other is crystal clear. -
Roland JV-2080
I sold the 2080's when they came out in '96/'97. Fred Hammond (Gospel cat) bought the first one in the store and a few cards from me, he kept several 1080's and 2080's in his studios. We kicked it about the 1080 and 2080's and came to the conclsion that, back then, there really was nothing to... -
Direct me with my next step.
Get an audio card. You'll want to look at either the M-Audio Audiophile 2496 or Emu 0404. They're both excellent cards and both run $100. The one clear advantage that the Audiophile gives you is that you can run ProTools with it if the need to do so arises. You're going to want monitors too... -
Favorite piece of hardware and why?
That's a tough one... I'm 100% software nowadays, but when I was running hardware, it would have been a toss up between my Sequential Multi-Trak keyboard, or my Roland R8mkII drum machine. They were the foundation of every piece of music I did back in those days. In fact, I've done a number of... -

FL problem
Ok. What I want you to try is really simple. I'm assuming you have the keyboard plugged in via USB. Unplug the board from the USB port, and hook it up directly to the 0404 via it's MIDI In port (get a MIDI cable if you don't have one). Go back into FL Studio and disable the USB connection for... -
FL problem
just curious here... What kind of audio card are you using with FL Studio? -
FL problem
Are you using a USB connection between your keyboard and your PC? That's been known to add extra overhead if the drivers for the device are poorly written. Try grabbing the latest driver from the manufacturer's site and installing it. Stuff like this is one of the biggest reasons why is... -
settle this for me please
generally speaking, most larger recording houses will go mic>preamp>mixer with compression/limiting patched as an insert on the mixer channel. Something like this - http://www.focusrite.com/productdetails.asp?id=46&iRange=4 - is usually seen in bigger studios, but for a project studio something... -
New Software
It's not really that hard to learn. Logic is hard as hell to get your head around. Compared to that, everything is easy. Cubase just has MORE to learn, there's a whole audio/automation suite there that FL doesn't have and it doesn't have the sample playback facilities built-in like FL... -
Buy a iMac or PC?
The best answer I can give you is this: Sit down and make a list of software you need to run. Once you have the list compiled, Look at any pieces of sw you would like that are platform specific. By that, I mean sw that will only run on a PC or Mac (Logic and DP on Mac, FL Studio on PC). That... -
Sticky Show Your Setup!
I have 7 PC's, with a laptop on the way and enough parts in my desk drawer to build 2 more. On my desk, I have my main PC and a Sun Ultra10 3D Creator. They share my monitor via a KVM switch. I can't use it to share the keyboard and mouse, that's why I have a PC and Sun keyboard and mouse on... -

Favorite Produced Song
"93 Til" - Produced by A-Plus, it also happens to be my favorite hip hop track of all time. -
I dont know whats better
For pete's sake... I'm sittin here saving up for a Trigger Finger and M-Audio drops this. No need for a TF with this thing. I rarely use more than 8 drum samples at a time (if I even use 8), so the Axiom would be perfect for me. -
interfaces:usb or pci?
So you don't put the card right next to a video card, which is good practice anyways because the PCI slot closest to the AGP slot usually shares the AGP slot's IRQ. For what it's worth, my old all purpose rig was eqipped with an Oxygen GVX210... -
interfaces:usb or pci?
Huh???!!! I've been recording audio with a PC for almost 10 years now and I have yet to experience any interference with any audio cards. I sold interfaces for a number of years and never had one complaint from my customers regarding interference/noise. Latency with FW and PCI interfaces is... -
beat price
$50... but I did slang a beat once for $25 and a few sessions of platinum head and pussy from the artists woman. -
New Software
FL Studio is arguably the more extendable of all of them. It has the potential to be the more powerful of the group. By itself it's aiight, but when you start adding VSTi's/DXi's and fx, it grows into something far more powerful than Reason could ever hope to be. Spend some more time with FL...
