SP-FORUMS

Hi forum,
I just recently got Logic Pro 9 and I was wondering if anyone currently uses both and if they can reveal was is possible with the two working together. Is there a way to record into Logic without an audio interface? Any tips/advice/suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello Forum,
I've been messing around with the sp-555 for a while but I have recently been trying to master the pattern sequencer. I have run into a problem recently though when trying to create a pattern. I have a 2 measure drum beat that I sampled off the intro to a song and I want to elongate it ...

Hi forum,
for the past couple months i've been listening to a lot of different styles of music and gathering up little loops or snippets of songs that i find interesting or inspiring enough to create a beat out of. The tricky part is finding the beat or creating one that will match the tempo of the ...

does anyone know where i can find free wave editing software for mac. I'm using Garageband right now, but you can only go so far with the precision of your splicing. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hi Forum,
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a wave editor to chop up samples cleanly and with more precision than Garageband. I use Reason but I have been using Garageband on my mac to chop up songs from my iTunes, however you can go only so far with precision. I've used ProTools before and ...

Hey ya'll,
so I have been struggling to find a way of recording my performance so I can begin putting stuff on myspace, and putting together demos. I have heard that a mini disc recorder is perfect to do so. Does anyone use one currently? Is it efficient? Any model recommendations? What are the ...

How do you guys record and sequence your songs and post them? I am a bit of a newb when it comes to this stuff. Is a track recorder my only option? I only work with Reason so I can't record through software (I don't have Logic/Cubase). How can I record using the samples that I have comprised?

Hi forum,
I've been using the sp-555 for a while but still trying to grasp all its features (i.e-pattern sequencer). I wanted to inquire different ways of approaching sampling. I usually find myself using one percussion sample, and then adding sfx to create polyrhythms. This approach hasn't given me ...

Yes I currently own a sp-555. What are the possibilties with an sp-555 and kp3? Why is it worthwhile?

Hi Forum,
I've been thinking about getting my hands on a Korg Kaoss Pad, particularly the KP3. However, now I am not so sure when I've learned that it only has 4 sample banks. My dream would be two SP-555's however I don't have the funds to afford that. Does anyone currently use the Kaoss pad with ...

Hi Forum,
I am looking to put together an ep this summer and I wanted to know what is the best way to record my performance.

Please let me know and thanks for your time.

at my last show when i went through DI the samples sounded lower and grainier. Through the guitar amp I use they sound alright, usually i have to turn the hi's way down. I wish i could EQ my samples.

Hey SP Forum,
I've been using the 555 for live performance with my band for the past couple of shows. I usually jam running the sp-555 through the same amp i use my guitar for. In live venues I find that going DI usually makes my samples sound like shit. However, going through a guitar amp doesn't ...

Hey Sp Community,
When I bought my SP-555 I had heard that you could use it with Reason. Other then have the SP function as a midi controller are there any other possibilities?

Hey SP Community,
For months now I've been trying to track down a cf card for my sp-555. I first bought a cheap a data 2gb cf card and I found my samples crackled and popped in the C-J banks. If I tried to copy a sample to these banks, the pad would flash but no sound would play. I then went through ...
