Dual Soundcards

Tomvalvona — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 07:50:26 -0400

I'm 18 and have been recording etc. since I was 15 starting on a br-532.

I now have a computer set-up and use an M-Audio 1010lt soundcard. This gives me 8 input tracks, however I was wondering If I was to buy a second 1010lt if it would work alongside the soundcard I already have giving me 16 tracks?

I am aware they would use the same driver but would this work?

Thanks

Tom

Importing drum patterns from BR-900CD Rhythm Editor to BR-600 issues!!! Pls Help

Hi guys, Please help, I have hunted the manuals & forums but cannot figure out my problem.

I have a very simple set up at home; computer, amp, guitar, BR-600 just to write & structure some songs for my band, I was getting sick of the pre set tracks and the velocity of the pads so I downloaded the BR-900CD Rhythm Editor which is awesome, However....

My problem is I cannot figure out how to get drum patterns into the BR-600 I can connect the two together via USB so they can 'see' each other but cannot get the drums from computer to BR-600 Here's what I did-

1) Allocated some space for a new song on BR600

2) Named it & saved it

3) Connected song to Editor (track name come up in Editor)

4) Wrote drums for entire song in Editor

5) Went to USB -> IMPORT -> S0001 (this was what I saved it as)

And that's about as far as it got, as BR600 just says "USB Connected Idling..." and it will just sit like that, if I could maybe save the drums as a WAV on my computer maybe that would help but there is no EXPORT function on Editor, do I have to play the drums from the editor and record it on the BR600?

Any help or suggestions would be amazing Thanks

Recording vocals on my BR 600

rockyboro — Thu, 14 May 2009 14:14:43 -0400

I've been having a very hard time recording vocals on the BR600. I currently have an Audio Technica 2020 mic and run it through a small mic pre-amp and into the BR600. It keeps peaking out (red light flashes on the level control) and doesn't allow me to get a good level on the finished vocal track. I also sometimes have the same problem with guitar/bass recordings. What am I doing wrong?? Should I be recording vocals/guitr/bass through a mixer??

I'm also wondering if my room is too muffled. I have carpet hanging on the wall directly behind the mic. Should I be recording vocals in a room with better accoustics, like a bathroom??

Any input/help would be appriciated!
