I'm gonna concentrate on writing original material from now on..hopefully to do a solo album. I have the POD xt and I use Cakewalk but now I want a quick uncluttered solution to getting real drums down on the PC.
Someone mentioned Drums On Demand the other night and I wanted some advice? Years ago people used to loop thru samplers but what I want to know is, is this easy to paste and connect together in Cakewalk?
The bass I'm gonna sort and again use the POD for that side...I'm looking at a cheap Warwick Steamer for me to use.
The last thing would be some sort of a tone generator that I can use with my mini keyboard. I ain't looked at these for years but I remember the
Boss SD series being good at the time. How far has this moved on now? It's being able to keep all this stuff in a small corner of the room and not taking up much space...new baby and all that!
The last thing I really need advice on is recording vocals. I have a coupla decent mics but am not sure whether going trhu the mic input of the Soundcard (Audigy) is gonna give me good results. Anyone tried their POD? Does it work on a clean channel or do I need a mic preamp to get it working?
Any guidance would be appreciated. I want to be able to write and get convincing sounding drums, bass, keys and vocals down quickly.
Thanks. wah. [img]images/smilies/icon_thumb1.gif[/img]
