Audio Tracks Pt. II

Audio Tracks Pt. II

20 Sep 2008, 15:25
Alright guys, I am a potential buyer, I've researched enough about the G. The only thing that I can't seem to find is someone who has recorded professional vocals on the G. I would like to hear what they sound like.

The reason why I am asking, is because a workstation that has a sequencer with audio tracks built it is excellent for me. YES, I am aware that the Fantom loads audio in memory, and NO, I don't expect the audio recording to be up there with Pro Tools HD or anything crazy like that.

But with the preamp and everything build in, is the quality in the audio recording worth while?

Pretty sure the quality is no better than Fan-X ... Roland didn't make any changes to the samper section with G ... Also, how can you really take these audio tracks seriously since they don't allow automated panning or volume changes ... It's really no better than Fan-X in that regard except for faster loading times and the "project" format ...

I'd think of the (Fan-X) and Fan-G as more scratchpad devices until the audio tracks become more robust with features .... I could never come even close to doing on the Fantom what I do in Logic ... (which isn't to say I haven't made some nice ditties on the Fantom ... )

Don't me wrong ... I LOVE my Fan-X ... and I imagine having the G could only be better in certain regards ... There's a great immediacy to using a workstation that's completely lost in something like Logic ... I HATE USING LOGIC ... However, to get that super hands-on micro sound sculpting level, you need a computer.

Don't discount the G or X. (However, how I'm a disappointed with the G so far is that it really isn't a true substitute for a computer DAW just as the X isn't either (though it's more understandable for that machine) ...

And remember, getting into the computer stuff is A LOT more complicated than using a Fan-G or X ...

And there's no guarantee you will get "professional" results using a computer and a myriad of interconnecting parts (DAW software, audio interface, computer) ...

Even though I'm getting more and more comfortable using Logic and getting better sounding tracks ... I think ... I still use the Fantom as a workstation and integrate that into Logic ...

Really ... Everyone, IMO, could benefit from having a good workstation and a good computer DAW ...

Good luck ...
