Hi, why cant you use the M300 with the D3200.

Yes you could stick it on the pc through the USB port onto something
like Cool Edit, or Adobe Audition.
That would be practical.
Cant see why you cant use the M300 though.
Reads really well.

Hi there..

i have tryed to connect the m300...to my korg..but the thing is whatever i do,it seems to take over everything,my music level and volum is going down..even though it says its only the mic channel it suppose to feed effects..the recording level is unbalansed,when m300 is connected..i follow the instructions..aux1 aux2..and i put the aux send to 50% as it tells me to do..and thats aboute it...after the music level volum is going wild..and it become very sesitiv,to the clp level..i turn the music source down..the mic down on trim..than the recording volum becomes to low..i have connected it as dual send/return..seems i have done it right..and the M300 is not that difficul to use...i have tryed more than once..and now im so tired of that m300 ..sure it can be me who do something wrong..but i cant see what...the equitments is only 1 month old..got it for christmas...so it should be fine..but im stucked though..dont know what to do...i even took the aux level down to 25% but that did not help at all...for me it looks like m300 takes over ...the volum level for everything on the korg...its pretty difficult to get a nice balanced recording with that thing connected...but maby i do something wrong...it could be me and not the m300...smiling...ty for answering me...regards linda39

You could try one of the other Aux out's,
I notice there are a bunch of them.
I assume you are sending the M300 output
to a new track.

There is possibly a fault with your send and return.
Use an Aux out and send your Fx out to a new track.
You should have no problem.

hmmm bunch of them...im lost now......in the send area on the korg i just have aux 1 aux 2...i connect the m300 to channel 9-10..music source 11-12..i pair this channels seperatly ..9-10 as the m300...than i pair 11-12.. and mark channel two as the mic channel...than i go to aux send area on the korg...mark the send aux1-2...and set it to 50%....on the mic channel...i do not turn up any levels on the rest...in aux send area..as the instruction says...i start record..sounds nice with the effects ...so far so good...than i start sing...the level on mic goes rigth to the top on CPL ...the effect sends line ..also do...and the music source become low in my phones, but on the meter it reach Clp...but i hardley hear it...normaly without the m300 its fine ..and i can record everything with a nice balanced volum..but not with the M300 connected..but than again i dont have the effect without it...so i have been thinking ...leaving out the m300 and get the effects from a different source..like a pc program..but i have no clue how...do i use the usb cable from the korg to my pc...and from there???do i first record the tracks??and after send it to the pc and open it in a program..or from a map?..sorry jerry...remember im a newbees in all this...but i got no one to ask when i got some prob..so i get stucked sometimes...than its nice to ask someone in here... for advice...  thanks so much for taking your time answering me..regards linda39

Are you setting the input on the korg so the
peak volume LED's only flash on at the loudest parts.

As you guessed it, check your audio leads first.
With your D3200 you will have received DAW software.
Once that is installed on your PC,
you can access the korg via USB.

It appears that a lot of people here use Cool Edit Pro v2.0
or Adobe Audition v1.5 or v2.0. Same company, both good.
Either will give you what you want to do.
Both have demo versions.

Shame really, your gear is impressive.

Hi there...sure i could get a new m300 from the shop...but im not sure what to do...i have full cool edit pro 2.1...but i have no clue to use is...but ..i just have to admit to my self...i need to use the time it takes...to figure it out..now i think the dynamic and sound on my songs are not that interesting...ive posted two songs on SS ..listen and tell me what i need...if you got time..tell me whats wrong and what i need to improve  with the sound...would help me much..i can hear its missing something in my recording beside others..and i think i have the equitments to get it sound great..but i need an advise on what i should focus on...seems like you know a lot..and i would be very greateful if you have the time to do so....hugs and regards linda39

if you could guid me on the m300 i sure want to use that one insted all the pc work..eazyer..but damn i cant get it right..sounds like i have connected it wrong ..but again the manual tells me its right..but ...the signal and frequensy just get to loud and unbalanced...cant use the songs i recorded with that m300 connected...i still keep my korg...sure i will its a good machine...if i only could make the sound a bit better..i have really worked on it..and thousend different ways...just need some extra ..but what??

Hi girl. You have so put me on the spot.
Thank you for considering I know a lot.
Compared to some people, I do.
There are those who could run rings round me.

I worked in a small recording studio over 20 years ago.
I have never seen equipment like yours.
It is however a digital combination of a complete
multitrack studio with outboard effects.
I have forgoten much... I'm an old codger.
I should be able to work through it though.
Also, some of the other guys here will help out.

I listned to your tracks in SS.
I am impressed with your voice, you obviously want
to take this a lot further than karaoke.
Good luck to you. You have a quality in your voice
that is exciting.
You dont rely on vocal acrobatics which is refreshing.
Also I can tell although good, like many that do SS,
this is not your best.

Guys check out Linda's Romeo in SS. Definate potential...
You wont be wasting your time.

Yes I could say that your vocal is standing on top
of the backing track instead of the backing track
fitting your vocal like a glove. But I wont.
I could say the backing track lacks dimension, but I wont.

All of these things I wont say can be corrected.
All tech problems can be corrected.
OK guys you can start throwing stones at me now.

I dont have time now. Too busy running for cover...
Will get back to you tomorrow.

Hi jerry
an ty so so much for helping me out here...and your nice comments...i will try to improve the things you have said,i just need to work a whole lot....on my equitments to get there...i usualy have been just a vokal when all the rest did the work with the sound...so when it comes to sound im a neewbies...i just know how i want it to sound..but to make it that way .......as always im a hard worker and i never give up..so i know ill be there with time...(sure hope)..beside that..its so very nice to meet some ppl like you who take your time and help others out...your my favorit when it comes to that...and if i need help again ...i run for you... smiling...in the end am so greatefull for your support here...thanks again jerry..and a big
 to you...regards linda

Hi Linda,
Ok first we need to find out if your effects unit is ok.

Do you have a mic lead that ends in a ballanced Jack instead of XLR

Sorry, scrap that, wouldnt be high enough volume.
Thinking

Use a single Aux out from the Korg and connect it to one of the
inputs on the effects unit.
Dont bother returning it to the Korg.
Set the Korg to post fade.
Now the vocal chanel fader will also control the output level.
Send a vocal track to the Aux out.
Play the track and watch the LED's on the effects unit.
Try adjusting your controlls till you see a desired movement in LED activity.
Tap and rotate the connecting lead. Do you get more than a small LED movement.

Then try it using a seperate Aux out.
Then repeat using the other effects input.

If you have problems, replace the connecting lead with another.
Try it again.

Hi jerry..ill try and come back to ya with the results...regards linda
