Re: Korg Legacy 64 bit is here!

I had M1 -LE and received an upgrade offer for the suite for $99 so when I heard here it was 64bit I went ahead and made the purchase. I didn't have much time last night but I did install, authorize and launch each one as a plugin and most standalone (since they launched in the auth process). I'm ru...

Re: Advice on recording vocals while playing keyboard

. Another option is to use a figure-8 with a baffle behind it. Or the best solution... treat the room. You'll just want to play with it and see what sounds best. But in the end, I would question why you want to record simultaneously.. Yes, I'll try the baffle and have been wanting to treat the room...

Re: Advice on recording vocals while playing keyboard

Thanks for the reply! I'll try the close mic recommendation to minimize the thump and deal with any residual as you suggest. My pianos are all software - come to think about it, they painstakingly sample the key thumps for realism -HA! Less worry, more recording.

Thanks again!

Advice on recording vocals while playing keyboard

I normally record keyboard parts, and then overdub vocals. I'd like to try to record vocals while playing keyboard. The issue I have is with my weighted keyboard I hear the mechanical thumping key sounds in the vocal microphone (It doesn't produce any actual sound because I monitor it in headphones)...

Re: Theremin plugin? Does one exist that will work with DP8?

Just stumbled across SampleMoog from IK Multimedia. It has several Theremin samples and presets. Sounds pretty good and currently on sale for $39. 32 bit though.

Re: "Mastered for iTunes"... Really?? What does it mean?

Funny, I just watched a mastering training video and they had a section on Mastering for iTunes. From the video... Mastered for iTunes is a program Apple started in 2012 where the iTunes Store accepts higher quality master files which result in higher quality AAC encodes. Files that are submitted at...
