I guess the only thing I need is to hook it up via a Midi cable? Will Logic recognize the drum machine as a plug in or external device?

I've been using Garage Band and Logic Pro 8 for a while for my gig sequences. However, I am growing weary of the stock drum sounds, especially in Logic. Is there another source or third party drum...

I've been doing a One Man band for about 20 years. Many folks will get General Midi sequences for free off the internet and simply use them in whatever key a song is compatible with their voice to...

I went ahead and purchased the BA-330 from Sweetwater last week. I used it on a solo gig at a winery Saturday night and it did a great job! I recommend it highly.

I prefer powered 15" cabinets like the Yamaha MS400 which I used for years. I recently replaced them with two JBL EON 315's which weigh 15 lbs less and have a better high end. Not to mention not...

Thanks, Scott. I have two EON 315 cabinets that sound terrific. It just takes more time and labor in terms of setup than I want to devote on solo gigs. Has anyone heard the BA-330? If it's loud...

I already have a nice JBL/Tapco system for duo and trio gigs. However, the vast majority of my shows are solo performances, usually with backing tracks I make and play back with an iPod. I sing and...

I've been using Garage Band for the past 7 years on a Mac with decent results. I do a solo act and make my own backing tracks, using sequenced drums, keys and the occasional string part. I record...

I just lowered the software playback button on the Firebox mixer and it took care of the problem. Thanks for the suggestion.

I am using a Presonus Firebox on my iMac G5 running Garage Band 06. I just recorded a bass track with my MIM Jazz bass direct into Channel 1 with a Monster Cable. It popped and clicked with a decent...

I got 2 gig RAM installed and it works better. My Pro Tools LE version 7 came with the Ignition Pack which includes Reason Adapted, BFD drums Lite, etc. I hoped the BFD Drums lite would sound better...

Thanks very much! I was able to get it to work also. I have ordered more memory to get my iMac up to 2 gig RAM which should help. I've been trying to accomplish this for weeks and glad to see how it...

I've been using Garage Band on my Mac to combine General Midi files with real guitars and bass I record digitally for playback on solo gigs. I much prefer the flexibility of Pro Tools and would...

I have an iMac G5 which works nicely. I've been using Garage Band to import GM files, and then add myself playing real guitars and basses for my backing tracks. I use these live for a solo act. I've...

Yes, I tried doing the sequence from Reason, by following the somewhat convoluted video included with the Pro Tools software with my MBox. I love recording and editing audio in Pro Tools; in fact,...

Thanks- the drums sound really great. Is this compatible with Pro Tools or Power Tracks Pro?

I've been using Garage Band with my eMac for over 4 years and I'm growing frustrated with the minimal drum sounds. I also have Pro Tools LE with my MBox; however, I have trouble using Reason Adapted...

Our keyboards player runs an Alesis QS7 and an SR 16 drum machine "live" to perform drum parts, bass lines and key parts simultaneously. He has to change patches on the keyboard and drum machine...

This combines RCA's with 1/4" plugs. He needs all 1/4" plugs in and out.

If you're looking for the ultimate one guitar makes all the sounds axe, get a Line 6 Variax. I've played one onstage for the past four years and it sounds like all those guitars, plus Ricks,...

My keyboard player uses an Alesis QS 7 onstage for keys and key bass simultaneously. He's looking for a mixer that would take 2 sets of stereo ¼ inch as inputs, and mix them down to one set of ¼ inch...

D'Addario strings are flexible and I've used them for years without problems. Sounds like this lead singer pounded his guitar too hard or had burrs in the saddle on his axe. I had the same problem...

D'Addario makes a 9.5-44 set- I think it's the XL 115 number.

I've had an original Variax for over two years. Every time I try to gig without it, my keyboard player complains. The sounds onboard are excellent and I use over 80% of them on the gig. I play jazz,...

No one has addressed the most important issues here- tunings and scale length. String tension and feel is completely dependent on the physical length of a guitar string. On a Gibson scale, typically...
