RAM upgrade

I ordered 128 of ram for my 500. Subsequently I ordered a 5000. Can I use the 128 mb of ram intended for the 500 in the 5000?

They are different...... Let me know how you like the 5000 and 500 together. Would be nice to have a 500 to make beats on the plane or on the road/vacation.

That is what I was thinking. However, I am very new at this and am hoping to find my own unique direction in creating my music with my unique samples. I recently picked up a Edison hand crank phonograph with a bunch of very cool records. I have started the laborious process of recording these records into Protools. With a great mic and preamp the funky old sound of this ole hand crank is so righteous that I can wait to start chopping-- but this is going to take some serious time and patients.

^ what pro tools are you using? The hand crank is hella cool and those records should be easy to sample and use. ..... I'm saving up for a 5000 as we speak.

I am running PTHD3. I was initially hoping to connect the 5000 directly to PTHD digitally but my Aurora 16s can't accept ADAT lightpipe. At first I thought I would have to get some type of additional interface that would accept 44/16 ADAT, but then decided that I would just feed the analog outs of the 5000 line level into my analog console or go directly into instrument instrument inputs on outboard preamps. Besides, I usually run my PT sessions at 88.2/24. I'll just have to feel my way along with the work flow and know that I have a great deal to learn.

a **** phonograph? that is bad ass. dont forget to post some of those tunes in the your music section of the forum, and mention the phonograph in there so I remember when I see it (if you post a track or two in the end)

good luck sorting all that out man!

And I thought I was kickin' it old school

Okay not really... the thought of using a phonograph and bringing back some legacy is straight up dope though...

How do you one up that? Player Piano? Raising Bach from the dead?

I haven't had so much fun with music in a long time. Turning the hand crank on the ole Edison and discovering and recording the records has been so much fun. The sounds are such a kick-- the funky mechanical sounds of the Edison, the scratchy records, the wobble of frequency. Experimenting with just the preamp, just the right mic, a just the right position in front of the horn of the Edison has been useful. These records are 1/4 inch thick and in very good shape.

Last night I put on a record: SIRENS OF A SOUTHERN SEA-- FOX TROT (Howard Weeks) by the Green Brothers Novelty Band. There were xylophones, trumpets, trombones, piano, banjo, percussion. Sounds from another world. ****ing amazing. I can't wait to get MPC back in hand and start chopping. I am prepared for a slow process because I only know one person in my town who knows anything about beat making and has an MPC and I am almost old enough to be his grandfather. Music has always been something that defines generations, but it has also been something that transcends and fuses the generations. Music is always the voice and soul of humans.

I am going to have to figure out how to post some of these recordings.

go to soundcloud.com and make an account. I read the user agreement and it looks okay. it lets you upload your songs and you can give people the link to go check your stuff. the feature I like the best is that you can comment on specific parts of songs... for example, if you like a transition the person did... you comment right there where it happened o (on the waveform display) and when others listen to it they see your comment at the appropriate part of the song.

another feature I like is how they show the waveform so you can tell if there will be a switch up later on... some people post 5 minutes worth of an 8 bar loop ... looping and looping...

They are different...... Let me know how you like the 5000 and 500 together. Would be nice to have a 500 to make beats on the plane or on the road/vacation.
