A Real Drum Machine( Mpc1000) Vs. Idrum

HELLO.

I AM A PRODUCER WHO USES idrum and logic to make my beats. I like idrum because you can use plugins. however I was told that a real drum machine gives you a richer analog sound and that digital drum programs give you a weaker sound. I notice sometimes that my drum sounds (idrum) tend to change when played. Can someone please tell me the pros and cons of both setups.

Having Problems Recording Vocals And Midi On Logic

I AM USING LOGIC EXPRESS 7. I DECIDED TO STEP UP FROM GARAGE BAND. WHEN RECORDING VOCALS AND USING GARAGE BANDS SOFTWARE INSTRUMENTS WITH A MIDI KEYBOARD I HAD NO PROBLEM. I COULD HEAR EVERYTHING.
WHEN I USE LOGIC TO RECORD MY VOCALS I CAN SEE THE SOUNDWAVE BUT I DON'T HEAR ANY SOUND.

WHEN I USE LOGIC'S SOFTWARE INSSTRUMENTS I HEAR THE SOFTWARE GENERATED SOUNDS ONLY ON MY KEYBOARDS SPEAKERS. I DO NOT HEAR THE SOUND ON MY LAPTOP OR IN MY HEADPHONES.


EQUIPMENT: 15 INCH PB , YAMAHA MIDI KEYBOARD PSR-248

Garage Band Issue: Problem Recording Vocals On Mic

Computer: Powerbook G4
Software: Garageband
WHEN USING GARAGE BAND I AM HAVING PROBLEMS RECORDING VOCALS USING A CAD GXL2200 CONDENSOR MICROPHONE. WHEN I SELECT A NEW TRACK AND CLICK STEREO I ONLY HEAR AND RECORD SOUNDS COMING OUT OF THE RIGHT SPEAKER, EVEN WITH THE ADJUST KNOB IS IN THE MIDDLE. WHEN I RECORD USING MONO I HEAR SOUND IN BOTH SPEAKERS. HOW CAN I FIX THIS SITUATION AND RECORD STEREO QUALITY VOCALS AND HAVE THE SOUND PLAY IN BOTH SPEAKERS? CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE OFFER ME SOME SUGGESTIONS.


P.S. I AM USING A TUBE MICROPHONE PREAMPLIFIER AND A FAST TRACK USB TO CONECT TO MY POWERBOOK G4.
