RE: OK, what about rock n roll
Very Cool.
Your right , i shouldn't have sold the darn beat box, now that i realize how much the thing was worth. i assumed, so many years later, that the sampled sounds would be passe, yet they were actually pretty. good.
i have reg. version of cake 8 i bought, and a warez version of cubase. i downloaded the demo version of cubase, then the warez. neither have any documentation to speak of so i'll most likely delete them both. i buy software, but i buy it when i know ill make use of it, not beforehand.
i started off with a warez version of cake 7, then bought into it with v8, but never got around to learning it, and i lost the manuals and CD in a move, so im not sure what ill do.
i sorta understand cake, as i have played with a bit.
i think its more my speed than cubase + i only have a socket 7 233mmx with 128 mb ram, and sb16.
i do however have guitar amps, mixing boards + yamaha emp100 and rex50 effects units, so i have lots of toys to use.
what i dont understand, though, is this. i have tons of cool wavs of drum sounds - more than ill ever use - can you write midi drum tracks, then assign wavs to those instruments instead of listening to the dorky sounds your sb16 makes? i do have an awe32 sb as well, but i found it noisier so i replaced it with my sb16.
is there any point in running two sb16's or should i forget all that crap and get something like a layla or at least sblive?
its all very confusing to me compared to the old days when i wrote a track or r5 and taped it with tascam 8.
it would be nice to lay some drums n bass down, and as a guitarist/vocalist i could finish them off with audio layovers. perhaps im dreaming thinking i can do this all on my pc, i dont know. i dont need more than 8 tracks tho.
thanks for any help
