Analog Recording


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I am new to producing music and of course new to this board. I have found it very informative and its nice to see so many psy trance fans out there! My question to everyone is as follows: What tools would you need in order to record analog synth sounds onto your computer. Specifically a Roland sh 101. Is there certain adapters or would I have to sample via dat? Please excuse my ignorance if I am way off, this is why iv'e come here for help. Hope everyone has a great Holiday!

Thank You!

Joe

Hi there, so let me get this straight. You want to sample a SH101 that you have already recorded on DAT? I mean, there are so many "sampler" programs out there, that you can use once you have recorded the sounds in the computer.

 

Best to use would be Wavelab, Soundforge or Adobe Audition (Whichever suits you the best). If you have a good soundcard with a digital in, then record them from your DAT digital out, to your soundcards digital in. This way you dont have any loss in the process.

 

Once you have done that, you will have to edit your samples so the start and stop points are correct.

 

When you are done doing that, you can start using the sounds in your sampler on the computer.

 

But tell me more about what exactly you want to do, then I will give some other pointers :)

I suppose my option would have to be sample to dat, since it is after all an analog synth. The question then would be your recommendation on a DAT recorder. What is the best for the money and which are overall favored? Also, if anyone has experience with the roland sh 101, how do you like it compared to more modern synths/applications?

 

Thanks for your help.

if you CAN then you can sample it directly to your computer. There is no midi on the SH101, but we used a CV to Midi converter :) Then you dont REALLY have to sample it. Then you could use it as a normal midi synth, and then do harddisk recording in your sequencer :)

That is just one out of many out there, and I am sure you can find loads of them on ebay for a far better price than they cost new :)
