Recording Vocal w/wo Effects - from ROLAN tech support
11 Aug 2009, 17:36Earlier I made a couple of posts about a trouble I had been having concerning recording vocals.
For over a month now I have been trying to figure out how to be able to hear a vocal with effects (reverb, delay etc) but I didn't want the track to be recorded with the effects. I wanted the vocal track to acutally be recorded dry (without effects). This is a very normal way of recording vocals on any multi-track or at any recording studio.
A couple of people responded to the problem - thank you by the way - but either the advice didn't work or I couldn't get it to work. In fact, I couldn't get it to work no matter what I tried.
So - Today I finally broke down and called ROLAND tech support. After 1/2 hour wait on the phone for a tech, who by the way, also thought (at first) "sure, the Fantom G can do this" - they couldn't get it to work either. They wanted me to give them some time so they could hook up their Fantom G and try to get it to work. They were going to call me back - but never did. I waited another 5 hours before I finally called them back and the response was - This can NOT be done with the Fantom G.
So for anyone else trying to figure out how this can be done. ROLAND tech support says it can't. Maybe someone around here knows more than they do, but neither Roland tech's nor myself can figure it out.
I don't know why ROLAND didn't think about this when they designed the Fantom G. This is really dissapointing - and for me, it really cuts down the Fantom G's use-ablility. I still think the Fantom G is the best keyboard available in it's price range, but I also think this problem keeps the FG from being an outstanding keyboard.
Anyway, for anybody else who may be interested, I just thought I'd let them know. Thanks again to everyone who tried to help. I guess I'll just have to live with the problem.
