hey guys.

what are my best bets for wall-mounting my monitors?

i am willing to get a new set if there's a particular model with kick-ass wall mounts.

i went in skeptical, but i must say that rza really pulled some shit out on kill bill. i've never heard anything quite like it, whether in a soundtrack or elsewhere.

audience perspective is essentially mono when the band is on stage so i like to keep em narrow. then again, i also feel like the popping-out-of-right-speaker thing during hi-hat runs is such a key element of rock production. i haven't figured out a good compromise.

input impedance is not selectable on these things? and even the four-switch stompbox modelers (ie dl4) have a way to toggle that. the xt live is lin6's newest product, and i'd be amazed if they downgraded them like that.

i swear i remember seeing something in the manual about selectable input levels.

you're right, i'm trying to do the latter (so i guess i'm *not* actually looking for a midi thru function; i think that suggestion assumes that i have an external module) i was hoping there was an easy way to do it without even depending on a separate soundfont player. quicktime and most sound cards...

right. thing is, these are usb keyboards so there isn't a separate midi interface nor software of any sort. one of them requires a driver installation which, best i can tell, disappears into the os once it's there (ie no control panel in the system preferences or anything like that) -- there's no wi...

play midi controller without launching sequencer?

hey everyone

i'm looking for the easiest way to play a midi controller without having to use a sequencing program. hopefully using the built-in general midi bank in my sound card, or maybe even some flash thing that loads on a web page.

ideas?

wav is a bad idea. use flac or alac. smaller file sizes, bit-perfect audio quality, and native metadata.

i organize in two folders -- "backed up" and "not backed up yet." if you keep your tags in shape, that's all you'll need.

If you are playing lots of harmonized ensemble passages with others (except piano) I'd rather have something closer to just temperament. If I were playing by myself I would rather have equal temperament. Why? When an ensemble of players "tunes" a chord they tune it in just temperament, not equal te...
