Drop the bottom mike. Lots of awesome drum recordings are done without one

Well, you're not recording live instruments and/ or vocals either.

For some reason no one ever answers this question but here goes: Is it plugged into a USB hub?

What are you talking about? Your Focusrite interface has an ASIO driver. There is no need to "change the driver back to ASIO from Focusrite." You're doing this wrong. You should be creating a mono track and then record onto that.

Yes Use a real audio interface with a proper ASIO driver.

One input doesn't make a stereo track. Splitting or duplicating a mono source just gets you a dual mono. Stereo requires either recording one source from two different locations, whether right next to or across the room from each other or recording two tracks What you should do in your case is select the left or right input depending on whether you are using the mic input or the line in.

It's not in this thread.

Nope. Not that one. Uses that ASIO4ALL garbage and not a real ASIO driver. Gotta step up to the UMC202 at least.

I have Miroslav Philharmonik, HaLion Symphonic Orchestra and the Sonivox Orchestral Companion layered together with Spitfire's Cimbalom playing the melody. Probably one of the few, if not the only, things you've heard that is in Locrian Mode. I disguised it a bit by using a half-diminished chord for the tonic and leaving out the fifth, thereby avoiding that tritone on the tonic chord. Ending on the fourth maintainss the harmonic ambiguity. Coupled with the 7/8 time signature, I think makes the piece feel like it is frantically moving but never really getting anywhere.

1: Cakewalk has no native way to do this. You need a separate sample editor 2: the clicking us because your edit points are not set to zero crossings.

Except for his recommendation for ASIO4ALL, this is otherwise a great tutorial.

As long as it has it's own ASIO driver. The Focusrite is excellent. DO NOT use ASIO4ALL or any other 3rd party "ASIO" driver. More headaches.

You're not gonna want to hear this, but you're only going to make it hard on yourself without a real audio interface. You might be able to muddle through "ok" but if you ever want to record more than one track or on top of something else you're probably going to run into problems. Spend the $100 or so and save your forehead....

He's not looking to loop the sample so that it repeats. He's looking to transform "boom" into "booooooooooooommmmmmmmmmm"

Cakewalk by BandLab.

Someone who speaks two languages is bilingual. So if someone speaks three languages, that would be trilingual. So if someone speaks only one language, what would that be? An American.

You made me spit coffee all over mine.

You owe me a new keyboard!

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing. .. Dang! I spilled my secret.

No worries. That's why I asked. You might be able to do that with a soundfont editor or sampler. Not just a player, but one where you can edit. Unless it's too short to set good loop points. You might also be able to craft such a sound with a synthesizer. You would make a drum sound but crank the decay and sustain way up in the envelope. I'm sure someone else around here can give you a better answer.

Thanks for the clarification. So if I understand you correctly, you're not wanting this to repeat indefinitely but to sustain until you release a key. Correct?

Forgive my ignorance but what exactly, perchance, is "turning an 808 into a sub?" I am guessing that the "808" is a Roland TR808 drum machine (or samples/ VSTi tthereof. Beyond that, I am clueless.

I take it the speakers are plugged into the speaker outs of the Focusrite? What is the organ track routed to?

Wow. You trolled all the way over here for that? Thank you for your comment. You have a wonderful day.

Dupe.
