I was wondering if anyone else here has any experience with them. I recorded this bass and drum track only (click the link below)with it just getiing familiar with the 1820. But I could use a little help. http://home.comcast.net/~olieoliver/FUNK.wma davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 3614 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, April 14, 2006 - 4:51 pm:    Cool!!!

Yea I plugged my 05 MK straight in to the 1/4 in on the dock that comes with the 1820. I was able to do all the adjustments with the mixer software that came with it. It come with a its own mixer but also has Cubase by steinberg bundled with it. I used the Cubase. The drums are my Yamaha DTXpress electornics plugged straight into the same 1/4 input.

I only use mine in the other direction- as the D/A for a bunch of computer based synths. I do my recording on a Roland VS-2480. Having said that, I will help if I can. What's up?

I've been playing with the 1820 a little and hve figured out some of my questions. Like the mixer in the Patchmix software is just that, a mixer and needs another source (program) for recording. My 1820 came with Cubase so I've used it and have made a couple of recordings. The link above is the first just bass and drums and done in a hurry but it came out OK. I did have some trouble with the mixdown but worked my way though it. If I get stumped again I may drop you an email if that is OK. Thanks, Olie studiorecluse Junior Username: studiorecluse Post Number: 28 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Wednesday, April 19, 2006 - 11:51 am:    Olie, Absolutely. I check this forum sporatically, so feel free to email directly if I don't reply in a decent amount of time. BTW, good choice. I love the 1820, it's a killer box. swallowtheredpill@hotmail.com Cary olieoliver Advanced Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 241 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Wednesday, April 19, 2006 - 12:52 pm:    Thanks, Cary.
