Read books my friend. Also just sit down and enjoy the experience of making music. Experiment with different fx, eq, and remember to use your ear. Numbers are guidlines, you r ears are the deciding factor! Practice makes perfect!

Thanks for the advise but people who state the blindingly obvious and offer no real help really irritate me. I do read heaps of books and I do enjoy the experience of making music.However I do not want to lose the music I have made thus far and books are not enough as they do not deal with specific details of different gear. If somebody was to set up a course for people to learn about different sorts of music hardware ie- virus synths etc. they would make a fortune.b

Another Ausi 8O . We are really taking over. I'm sure the trigger happy yanks and Euro trash of the board are really packing their undies now!

Welcome!

PS. Great subject header by the way.

Easy killer, you came off as a noob by pleading for help and asking for a mentor. I thought I might offer beginner advice, since it seems beginners want to learn everything overnight. That is why I threw out that suggestion. My apologies for irritating you.

What specifically are you wanting to know that you cannot find in a manual and time spent with the machine? Subtractive synthesis is the same priciple whether it is a nord, virus, Q, etc. . . . As long as you understand the priciples behind synthesis, EQ, compression, it should translate from one piece of kit to the next, except for maybe a few additions to certian pieces. I am not trying to bust your balls, just trying to find out what you are wanting to know so I can maybe offer advice.

apologies accepted, I didnt mean to snap , its just I am nearing the end of my tether at the moment. I admit I have only had my virus for two and a half weeks but I am getting nowhere with this store problem( and I have read the manual which may aswell be written in bloody chinese). Its got me beat.
I am working with an akai mpc2000xl sequencer. When Ive finished my songA which Ive created with the virus indigo11 in multi single mode I want to save all the sounds exactly as they are then work on a new songB with different sounds once again in multi single mode. So what I want to know is firstly how to store everthing the way it is then how to recall it if I want to work on the songA again later. I have done everything people are telling me and it does not happen. I just get the same songA arrangement but it plays the sounds from the new songB. Do I have to store all the sounds individually and then dial them back manually later if I want to use? This means I would have to write down the numbers so surely this is not the way to do it. Also If I store the sounds from songA or from anything I do,do they not overwrite the original factory preset or whichever one I choose to store it to? But what if I do not want to lose the preset? This seems stupid. Why is there not an empty memory bank to store stuff?

WOW! We are practically neighbours.......

Im not a Virus Expert, but the problems you seem to be having I reckon will be easily sorted out with a little time spent with trial and error.

Send me an email ( jason @ 24bit192k DOT com ) and maybe we can organise something

Good luck!
