BassMunkee Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 [quote]Well I bought some stuff, but unfortunately had to deal with these clowns: [url="http://www.dv247.com/"]http://www.dv247.com/[/url][/quote] Curious. I've used them several times and found them to be excellent in every way, coincidentally I actually got my copy of Cakewalk through them, very cheaply, easily, and quickly... Guess you can never tell, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its ususlly about 300 T-Mobile brochures that have been coated in baked bean sauce. I quite enjoy standing in Tonbridge High Street at 8:30 in the evening in a fit of rage, individually posting them through the door. I managed to cover pretty much the whole floor last time. Bet thats fun clearing up on a Tuesday morning. I've just called them actually, and they do have my package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBeefChief Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 Well, I've just got my hands on this stuff and I'm pretty sure its going back in the box and then probably into the bin. All I want is a big red button that says "record" and then be able to drag what i record about a bit. This peice of sh*t makes absolutely no sense to me, and I'm pretty sure it never will. f***ing buttons and knobs everywhere. What a wind up. £100 down the f***ing drain.

It's no good. All this MIDI/Audio crap. I just want to plug my bass in and press record. Like a tape recorder but on my PC. They have a section for quick start lessons to give you the basics. Unfortunately on the crap freebie you get, that folder is empty. I can't even install the driver for the Audio Interface properly. Why does it need a driver? Its so simple. 2 hours last night and I couldn't even work out how to record anything to play back. Not a thing. When did life get so complicated? Who needs all these options. Its part of the reason I hate active basses. Just 4 strings and a jack socket. Don't even care about tone or volume. I'm having a really bad week.

clauster Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Oi Beefy! What did you get hardware and software wise? I've been doing MIDI on Atari's/PCs and Audio on PCs and Macs for years. Be hapy to give you a few pointers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ableton? Appleton? Something like that. I have a feeling I'm going to find them all as sh*t as each other though. I can't even use itunes. But itunes is for c**ts. These things seemed to be designed for music producers. I just want to record basic songs. I tong want to twiddle knobs. I can do that on my amp. Has technology not progressed to a stage where we can just plug things in and go? As you can tell, I'm not the most patient of people and tend to overeact. I almost put a hammer through the audio interface last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clauster Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Ah Ableton Live! I know some people who love it, but it's grown up from a piece of software for DJ's / remixers. Look for Audacity and try that - very simple! Audio only, so none of that Midi crap to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archetype[/quote] Dunno. Its a box with a few knobs and some sockets. The knobs don't seem to do much. I'd try Audacity, but I just can't warrant spending any more cash on this stuff. And I'm pretty sure I won't find it simple at all. In fact, its not even the cash. My sanity can't stand these type of things. The rage keeps me up at night causing me to come ranting and swearing on here. I just can't understand why I need to set any parameters,twist any knobs, tick any boxes to record a four string instrument. It f***s me off so much!
