I could have sex with the roland boss if i...

If The roland company did get the right perspective, they would realize the aren't supporting the musicians in the world.
First of all, why do they release a groovebox? Why would a musician use that. It isn't original beats on it, what i mean is that everyone in the world can use the exact same groove-line as you, so it sounds like you've ripped it off.
I think the most musicians want to create their own beats. And then we need a drum box. But hey wait a minute, roland doesn't sell 'em anymore, not the classics, not the good ones. Just some fucking stupid piece of junk.
I wouldn't be proud if i made a groovy song, with vocal ,synth and all that stuff, and people said: what a cool rythm. And i knew it came from a roland mc 505 groove box. Fuck.
My hope is that the roland company, or any company in the world would create a really awesome drum machine and sell it at a low price. Let's say, about 300-400 dollars. Now that would have made my life a dream.
Right now i'm using hammerhead for creating drum-beats. And the great thing about hammer head, is that it's free! some companys in the world should learn of that. Thank you!

<<I have to agree, Roland is out to make $$$. The groove gear is all fancy toys w/ cool lights & knobs. They target the newbies who see a cool looking add... & think wow an all in one studio.
THe d-beam is a total joke & is uncontrollable. The keys aren't even velocity sensitive, so how can you create something w/ feeling. Overall Roland is living behind there name right now. They're only a handful of by products I think are good, but for the price, no. They just don't offer enough features for the price. I'm not going into detail, but when I buy new gear I want more bang for the buck. And many other companies out there are listening to musicians & making great products.
If your just starting out & want a basic piece of gear.. the electribes by Korg aren't bad ($350 -$400). The sounds are pretty good, you can create original patterns, & real time knobs are smooth & very controlable. Definatly a good choice for someone on a budget.

Thank you

Tanks for support. I've started to seach for other options. I've heard the Korg products mostly are above good. I think they look like theire designed by a russian enginer company. well its not exactly well designed, but as an oposite to roland product (where theire pieces look very fancy) the Korg actually seems to do what they are supposed to do. Roland have a really good name with much credibillity now, but they can't live forever on their name. I say: Show us that you still can do the trick!

Re: Thank you

try novation drumstation (bit old but good sounds) or xbase99

Expensive shit!

I'm so fustrated by how Steinberg prices their products.
Why is it that their products are so fucking expensive. Steinbergs products aren't hardware, which imidately should lower the cost of production.
but no, their products are as expensice as hardware that do the same thing, sometimes steinbergs products are more expensive than the hardware.
Hardware do cost alot 'cos the diffrent parts do cost, and the work. But steinbergs softwares are on cd's AND that doesn't cost more that a few dollar to produce. The only thing hardware and software have in common is designing the product, to create the product.
It's only steinberg and emagic that do have theese high prices. The pro tool do cost half of what cubase, and pro logic do cost, and the features are almost the same.
I get so fucking mad, 'cos it seems like you must have a no.1 hit before you can afford a complete studio. Fuck.
Steinberg and Emagic do tell they want their customers the best and bla bla. But how many of the real musicians do have money enough to buy one of their products.
And Cubase is just one piece in a whole studio. YOu also need a drumachine, a synth, a sampler, soundcard and so on, and to get a decent studio you have to paid like 10000 dollars.
And Cubase is just a software as I said before, it isn't (pro) logic at all!!!

2 soundcards

how do you set up 2 soundcards on the same pc? 1 is a isis studio and the other is a cheap crystal isa card

Re: 2 soundcards

: how do you set up 2 soundcards on the same pc? 1 is a isis studio and the other is a cheap crystal isa card

I take it you've tried, and couldn't get it going. It depends on the cards you're using. It can be done, as I have 2 machines with 2 soundcards each. You have to watch what resources each card is using, and make sure they both use different IRQ, DMA, I/O addresses. Very often it's a case of trial and error. Usually, the best way is to install 1 card, get it working, and only when it's working, install the other.

ACTUALLY, yes it is.....There are 2 ways. First way, my buddy wrote a program that iskind of like an equalizer that removes music (I haven't seen the program but I've head his remixes). Second, Take the song, run it through a vocal remover,then try inversing the file, I haven't tried it but I heard it works

Re: Can you record MP3s to CD-R to be read by any cdplayer?

Download mp3 , play it back on winamp,there will be no sound at this stage.Let the full track play the whole way through,when it finishes, exit winamp.Go back to the drive your file is on for example drive d or where it was saved at first.Play it back on windows media player by double clicking it,do not worry if there are any minor glitches , as it should play back perfectly after it is written on your CD, when you have transferred the file to it.All the best,it works for me everytime.

Re: Just because i am asking someone to give me a serial number

Hello Loki

If you have any queries about your copy of ReBirth, you should contact the guys over at <a href="http://www.propellerheads.se/">Propellerhead Software</a>. If you buy a second-hand computer, you should make sure that you get the original installation discs with the necessary registration details and instructions so that you legally own the program as opposed to having a copy of the program registered and owned by somebody else - on your computer.

Warm regards
Geoff

wav file reducing and compression..... please help ;-}

I need a program to drasticly reduce the size of a wav file without losing the quality of the sound. It also needs to be able to be played without having to be decompressed or without having to have a special program to play it with. Does anyone have a program like this or the name of a program like this? Email me dare4@newwave.net ~Thanks~

Re: wav file reducing and compression..... please help ;-}

Jackson PS-3 Randy Rhoads guitar w/ case for only $250!!! L@@K!

hey, if your interested i bidding on a hardly used Jackson
PS-3 Performer Randy Rhoads guitar with a form-fitting,
beautiful hardshell case, then go to this site:

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261051966

Its a black guitar in the "off-set V Randy Rhoads" shape. It is in great to near-perfect
condition.I am selling it for a minimum bid of $250,
which is a great deal considering I bought it new for $800. I suggest you take a look at it, and maybe bid on it. You won't be sorry you did.

COMPUTER OR 8-TRACK

I am in the market to buy some recording gear,but i don't know which road to go down. I want to use samples as my stuff is beat based but i dont want to be limited to making all my guitar parts short samples.
I want to be able to lay down whole lines. I 've omly got so much money and i know that whichever i get i can expand by buying a sampler for the 8-track.
blah - blah.
cheers bigdaddyP

Re: COMPUTER OR 8-TRACK

Hi there,

I have a lot of fun with Acid. It's great for arranging samples/loops. Find it at <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/AcidMusicDemo/">http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/AcidMusicDemo/</a>. Plus there's <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/SonicFoundryAcid/">http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/SonicFoundryAcid/</a>.

If you want a sound editor, get Cool Edit 2000 at <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/Cool_Edit_2k/">http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/Cool_Edit_2k/</a>. The shareware version is really functional and it's not going to break the bank if you choose to register it.

Cheers
