[Mr9111950]

i need a replacement C.D. burner.... dose anyone have one for sale or can anyone advise on how to fix up an external...

[sonofjak1971]

HELP! when i try to use the mastering tool kit all my recorded tracks switch off. So there's nothing to master or record onto 11/12 mastering track and i can't switch my recorded tracks on in mastering mode. Very frustrating!!

[fixierider123]

So I just got this and when I tried to write a song to a disc. An error came up saying "data too short", Its about a 3 minute song so I dont understand what im doing wrong. Anyone know what I should do??

[porge97]

does it have a built in guitar amp

and do you have to use speakers

[jimbo01ish]

How do u eliminate the buzzing sound when your electric guitar is plugged in.

[bigdaddy1382]

What kind of monitors are you using? I just got one and could use some help on picking a set.

I've heard people have had problems with the mix sounding good. Burning a CD, but when they stick it in the car or a CD player it sounds like garbage.

Thanks for your help.

[DanTheManFantastic90]

cheers.

so you use the headphones socket instead of the usual inputs at the top of the machine? sure i'll just keep experimenting with it.

@DanTheManFantastic90

I may not have any interesting advice for you. I just run a line from the headphone output (mono) into my machine just like a guitar during jams, with the volume levels at about 50 so there's no peaking.

For real quality recording, use the 2 L/R outputs.

As far as other settings, I find that the e-drums sound like being in a perfect studio environment with a perfect drum tech. The sound you get is pretty close to ideal.

That said, I sometimes put on reverb.
