Question by Joe Brooke: Plug In Keyboard into Computer to Work with Fruity Loops 8?
Hey!
I was just wondering if you could plug in a keyboard (Electric Piano) into the USB port and it be compatible with Fruity Loops 8. I’ve recently downloaded the program and I’m still getting to grips with it!
Thanks a lot in advance

Even the best acoustic simulators can sound very different to the real thing and it’s worth pointing out that the sound that this and other similar units strive to recreate is the crystalline tone of a piezo rather than the warm glow of a mic’d-up vintage Martin.
The gain pot acts as a notch for the EQ, ranging from a very metallic tone to a warmer, more rounded sound. For strummed passages the performance is actually quite good, and adding a little treble aids the clarity of fingerpicked pieces.
It’ll never replace a genuine acoustic, but for a clean strum, it’s worth a look.

No selection of tone generators would be complete without one dedicated to metal.
The secret is to marry crushing amounts of gain with ferocious highs, fat, expressive lows, and not too much in the middle.
However, with anything less than full gain the tone is too middly and flabby: winding up the gain only increases the fizz. Consider Dimebag’s solid-state rhythm crunch, yet without any real depth or definition. Palm-muted chords bark rather than crush and despite plenty of gain on tap, it’s not a patch on the Vox Metal AmPlug.

For rock solos, most players require additional gain for sustain and a hike in volume, which would explain the dirty nature of the tone of this unit. The delay allows for a warmer tone, too.
There’s no way of altering the delay parameters but, as it’s set lower in the mix, this is no bad thing. For Vai-style emotive lead sections with the neck pickup, the tone is nigh on perfect and riffing with power chords is equally satisfying.
Perhaps reverb could’ve been added to the Acoustic unit, too, because the delay makes all the difference to the sound here.

Any mention of English or British here means tones based around the EL34, which, in turn, usually means Marshall. The P’N'P range also includes a Super Lead unit, but here it’s less about impact and more about these valves’ squashy nature.
Even at full gain, the tone is cleaner than expected, thus giving a rhythm sound that’s closer to AC/DC than Van Halen, albeit without the depth of either. However, when using a humbucker with a decent output, the backed-off sound is expressive for those hard-hitting 12-bar riffs.
This unit suits tones requiring more subtle overdrives, but aside from the lack of gain, it’s a perfectly useable option.

I just got a new computer, and my old computers memory has been transfered. This transfer includes my itunes and I thought that if I sign in to itunes on the new computer, my music would show up.

If all the music are purchased from iTuns store, you can have authorized your new computer with the iTunes account, then you will find the files you import in the iTunes Media folder.* You can find the files in the iTunes Media folder using the Finder (Mac OS X) or Windows Explorer (Windows), or by choosing File > Get Info in iTunes.
After you have authorized your computer, you will be able to view/play the purchased music on your iPod.

MXL offers a USB microphone for around $ 179usd but it sells for around the price range your looking for. A company called Blue also sells one called Snowball for around the same price.
