trayce, is the asio emulator simple to set up? ive got it here but im completely and utterly stuck
― s.rose, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 22:37 (sixteen years ago) link
please don't purchase any creative labs products trayce they suck balls!! i recommend an edirol or m-audio interface

speaking of m-audio, do you need an actual bass guitar (and uh drum kit) to use this: http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/DrumBassRig-main.html or does it recreate those for you? using a midi keyboard? (this is the v basic one im using: http://www.htfr.com/more-info/MR170545 )
and this is the softsynth im grappling with at the moment http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/GForceimpOSCar-main.html

yeah you would trigger the drum/bass stuff with a midi keyboard. note that (i have found) playing drums (well) on a midi keyboard is pretty difficult
― electricsound, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 22:58 (sixteen years ago) link
but not impossible by any means.
― electricsound, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 22:59 (sixteen years ago) link
or you can just use their sounds/samples and sequence shit manually (ie not in real time)

which i generally prefer for most drums.. but i am also a shit programmer

does playing bass on a midi keyboard sound anything like the real thing though? or is it like how a 303 bassline sounds?
― s.rose, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 23:06 (sixteen years ago) link
it will not sound like a real bass guitar, no. but that's not to say it won't sound cool in context

has anyone tried to play bass on a midi keyboard through a guitar amp??
― electricsound, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 23:08 (sixteen years ago) link
get one sampler
― DG, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 23:10 (sixteen years ago) link

srose: Im afraid I cant be much help with the ASIO sw setup, my bf did all that for me, he tweaked it lots I seem to recall. I'll ask him tonight.
Jim: ah yeah, I couldnt remember the pro brand names, thanx. I still just write songs in fruity loops, it sounds poop but its good for "sketches". We can always record things properly later on the guitars/bass using a SW multitrack recorder like Reaper.
― Trayce, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 23:16 (sixteen years ago) link
Or like, a real one, if we HAD one (we dont).
― Trayce, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 23:17 (sixteen years ago) link
i've never used reaper but it definitely has a loyal fanbase

"Has anyone tried to play bass on a midi keyboard through a guitar amp??"
I've played Hammond organ on a bass guitar hooked up to a computer with a wave to midi converter running live.
Guitar->PC->Wave to MIDI->B2 soft synth
Latency was appalling.
Trayce, sequencers sound as good as the samples you use, I know Lynskey here does a lot of his stuff with FL, i guess its easier for sample driven stuff, if you are doing old fashioned Rawk then it's better to multi track your instruments.
― Jarlrmai, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 00:02 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah you're right on that point. I must admit some of the 3rd party FL plugins (lie Slayer) have made a big difference.

lie=like
My Roland RS-5 has been in the repair shop for 10 MONTHS awaiting replacement parts. I'm looking for a replacement 61-key model of some description, with a preference for quality piano/organ sounds over spacey Faithless pads. Any suggestions? The Nord stage is way, way out of my price range, unfortunately.
