hello there!
to start, i own a TD-30k, successfully patched it to 1.10 and done computer setup to receive stereo/midi from the kit. problem is that transmitting stereo via usb is rather new and Roland manual doesn't cover it at all
, so i have to bother people with likely stupid questions.
i use GarageBand on an oldish mbp, and the issue is that:
1) when i record a track, the output that GarageBand records is totally not the same as what i hear via the phones (and it does rather sound like the phones-out has some effects on it, amplifier, maybe compressor also, while usb-audio-out does not and transmits straight line-out). it is very low and "sounds" differently. what can be the problem, is it really the matter of setting up effects for usb-out? i've got to admit that my phones are semi-professional (and apriori are much better in producing sound than common home equipment), but i hope _that_ is not the issue here.
2) the kick-drum in the output that GarageBand records has lots of extra notes which i again don't hear via the phones when i play (i accept that my technique is far from perfect, but not that bad, eh
).
i'd also appreciate any general tips on recording given the "kit/usb/macos" setup, like i dunno what, maybe common module settings, most used effects for mixing the output, something else. i've never used to do "home" recording before (and therefore don't really know anything about mixing and stuff), having played acoustic kits with mics and proper mixers in a studio (and hence delegating the mixing itself to more educated people), so anything is welcome.
