Beagle,
If you ever upgrade I highly recommend the PSR3000. I started with a PSR550 then went to a Technics KN2400 then to a Technics digital piano before buying the 3000. It by far exceeds all the others in sound and features...maybe not as good as Tyros but lots less money.

A little straying from topic here, but WOW! I just checked out the 3000 and man is it loaded! Looks fantastic...but I really kind of wanted an 88key on my next upgrade. We'll see...

Beagle,

Yes, a little off topic but I have to say that if you want an 88 key and don't need the auto accompaniment, check out the Yamaha P250 stage piano. I have one of those too and it is awesome. When I don't need auto acmp it is my favorite and by far the best sounding piano and the greatest feel of any thing I have ever played.

If we want to continue this conversation I guess we should use e-mail.

Hopefully this isn't a stupid question, but if you only use Cakewalk to mix tracks together (by recording the tracks on an external recorder and not directly to the computer, then importing them to the software), does the soundcard matter at all? Do latency problems only show up if recording directly to the computer?

new: you'll get a better response from people on a new topic if you start a new topic from the top directory of MC instead of it being burried in this topic. Some folks might not come in here to look because they aren't interested in the end direction of this thread and think that it's probably continuing.

Could you elaborate on exactly what you are trying to accomplish a little more? If I understand what you're asking, then a latency problem shouldn't bother you too much unless your tracks get out of sync, or if your processor starts bogging down because it's being "overused" instead of a good sound card being utilitzed instead of the sound card eating up the motherboard/processsor/ram resources. That could happen also which will cause lags, dropouts, or other types of problems during your mixdown if your sound card isn't holding it's own.

ORIGINAL: Beagle


The A/D bit depth and the sampling rate have nothing to do with how the card supports multitracking. That's completely up to the software. The more inputs your sound card has, however, the more tracks you can record at the same time. For example, if you have an m-audio 2496, it supports 4 inputs. (2 line in, 1 MIDI in, 1 SPDIF). You could potentially record 4 things at the same time if that was your desire. If you only intend to record 1 thing at a time - ever - then you don't NEED the 4 input capability (keep in mind that only 2 of those inputs, however, are "line in" the other two you might not be able to use unless you have hardware which can connect to it).




But can MC3 cope with more than one pair of (audio) inputs at a time? It doesn't seem that it can? I'm using it with an ST Audio DSP24 with 8 inputs, and it seems like I have to decide which pair of inputs I want to use (and shut down and restart MC3 if I want to change them). But I've only been using MC3 for about 1 hour in total (installed yesterday) so I may well have missed something.

P.S. Used the m-audio 2496 for years, with several packages, I'd agree in highly recommending it, once you've found the correct Windows drivers.

You have to use Home studio at least to get a full multitracking, MC2 Pro 24 did 4 tracks but all the other MCs do only 2 i think

I'd Seize the day but i can't quite reach it!
