Greetings. I'm Robert (a.k.a missiletide), and I'm primarily a guitar player. I usually plug into a Johnson J-Station, which is plugged into my sound card (Soundblaster Live). I am interested in recording, and I am looking for software and technical advice.
Here is a brief rundown of my equipment: Yamaha pf85 keyboard, Roland JV-1080, Korg M-1 music workstation, Alesis Quadraverb GT, a small Tascam mixer, a 4-track, various home stereo components, a couple of powered mixers (Dean Markley and Peavey), a PA-type speaker cabinet (Peavey), a self-contained Peavey PA device with speakers, a Peavey 2-channel 15-band EQ, and my guitars and guitar amplifiers. I mention the MIDI keyboard and associated equipment because a nagging question has been bugging me as to how to properly link MIDI compnents to the computer. The J-Station is connected to the sound card's MIDI ports, though it needn't be.
