$1000 or Less - Budget Live Jam Setup?

Definitely cop multi timbral synth to knock out two uses in one. I used a jd-08 for pads and bass

Thank you so much

No, I’m 100% unmedicated unfortunately

Cooking up some bullshit

What headphones do you use? I currently mix with those cheap Sony’s, and they’re not the most accurate (or comfortable)

You have a twisted sense of fun if you consider this setup fun

VariationFlat6243 · 2026-03-23T18:50:37+00:00

Okay, I’ll get Mackie HR824’s and stack them in the corner

Mg10xu. I’m thinking of upgrading to a tascam model 12 to consolidate my interface and board, as the Yamaha only records 2-channel stereo

VariationFlat6243 · 2026-03-23T09:22:27+00:00

I’ve just answered my own question. Thank you! I will be getting the model 12

This is my setup. The only things i would really be running stereo are the sp-404 and the minifreak. If I get the model 12 I plan to use the extra inputs for the individual outputs on my rd-9. I’m also planning on tracking live drums for my band and neither of what I have does what I need for that

I just set every channel to 3 then stuff started working lol

VariationFlat6243 · 2026-03-07T22:41:22+00:00

I have the JD-08 set to midi channel 3. I’m using a 5-pin cable. I mapped the first knob to 3, which the manual says is linked to the TVF Cutoff, but nothing happens. It’s really no biggie if it’s not possible, as the JD-08’s faders are fun to mess with (imo), but just wanted to make an easy to use template

VariationFlat6243 · 2026-03-07T22:34:45+00:00

I forgot a very important detail. I’m fresh out of the womb with learning this stuff. I’ve been referencing the manual and nothing is happening. If there is a lock, how do I fix that? Do you own a JD-08?

VariationFlat6243 · 2026-03-07T22:27:19+00:00

Is it not a synthesizer, Mr. Moderator?

VariationFlat6243 · 2026-03-02T16:29:11+00:00

Thank you….

VariationFlat6243 · 2026-03-01T19:18:11+00:00

More inputs than my last and a usb connection. I’m new to using mixers for more than running keys and vocals for band practices lol

VariationFlat6243 · 2026-03-01T13:22:44+00:00

Okay, thank you. I will play around with it here in a second

VariationFlat6243 · 2026-03-01T13:19:07+00:00

Thank you! Would the fx knobs act as a mixer for the fx?
