How are other people recording bass/guitar/vocals when they are using Doggiebox?
I have a (now rather old) Roland VS-1680 and Doggiebox is my drummer :) For my set-up, the best technique _seems_ to be to assemble a basic percussion track in Doggiebox, export it as an AIFF, playback the AIFF and record it on the 1680, then record guitars, etc. on top of that. The trick is that I often want to change the details of the percussion track as I work on the song (add fill here, extra cymbal there), but it's difficult to synchronize the start of play to rerecord the drum track directly (thus my MIDI feature requests some weeks back :) It works out (at present) a little easier to simply slap a whole new AIFF over the original percussion track on the 1680 to get it on the machine and roughly in place, and then "nudge" the whole thing into synchronization with the other instruments. It's still a little tedious, but not impossible. But I haven't had a chance to experiment with this very much. Cheer,s Carl -- Carl Edlund Anderson mailto:cea@carlaz.com http://www.carlaz.com/
