You are not an idiot at all. This stuff isn't purely logical, if you ask me. It just is what it is, with its own logic-

I'm new to midi. Here is my set up- Digi 002r, iMac M-Audio controller Yamaha PSR 225 fun machine Garratan Personal Orchestra Ok, I have a PT session open and am recording midi to be used in GPO. I bought the M-Audio keyboard for the mod wheel etc., to be a real controller for GPO. My hump to get ov...

Imagine that you have recorded midi and you know that the midi information creates no sound on its own. So you have to have a sound made. You need a sound maker to make sound so that you can record it. Your midi keyboard is a sound maker, so is a virtual instrument program. You need to make your key...

Do I have to play recorded midi back through the keyboard? I can't just playback form pro tools alone, without the keyboard hooked up? I am only about 2 steps ahead of you as far as midi know-how. One of the first things to learn about midi is that it is not sound that is recorded, just a command t...

Go to your local drug store and get some hair ties. It is worth the 3 bucks to see if they work I did that once for a U87 holder and it seems to work fine.

Yes, there is Pachelbel's Canon. Then there is Taco Bell's cannon. That is what you hear the next morning after eating Taco Bell after the bars close.

You know, in this relatively new age of the internet, one of the major strains of disqualifying bullshit is fakery and hyping, adoring one's own BS far beyond the point of usefulness. As entertaining as Mixerman's diaries were, the whole phenomenon just doesn't warrant so much attention. There is al...

I think when you get to mixing and have the room sound on your tracks, you would be patting yourself on the back for the extra effort taken by using the big room.

I didn't think many classic bands used metronomes. It was just expected that a competent drummer could keep time, and I think they generally did just that. A lot of Beatles songs sped up due to editing different takes together that had slightly different tempos. They adjusted the speed on the tape m...

Having read this thread, I would like to guess that the other elements in the mix are the problem. I'm no expert, but I am in love with the the low-cut feature on EQs. I cut the crap out of the low end of everything but bass and kick. I don't make the guitars and such sound unnatural, it is just tha...

I risk a wrist-slap for pointing you to another site, but on Gearslutz, the great Bob Ohlsson, who was at Motown (engineer), chimes in quite a bit. Go there and do a search for his contributions and you will find a lot. It's a hoot when someone asks a Motown related question and Bob answers back "we...
