has anyone ever had this problem with the echo mia? when my computer plays any sound---even just the system wave files or an mp3, the mia starts playing maybe a quarter of a second into the file, effectively cutting off the beginning. any suggestions? thanks.

I have a project set up that used a midi file as a scratch track. I then recorded audio on top as I listened to the midi to sync everything up. The midi had a few tempo changes in it and a ritard at the end. Everything seems to sync ok, but my question is: how does Sonar deal with the tempo...

Sorry to ask these questions if they seem a bit basic, but I'm very confused. I am interested in the MXL V93 because from what people have said, it performs as well as the V67, but is much more neutral and the bass rolloff clears up much of the boominess of the 67 as far as vocals are...

After sifting through the archives, I udnerstand that the V67 is a strong microphone, but some people have commented that it adds some character, especially to vocals. If I'm going to be recording a lot of multi-tiered vocal harmonies, will that eventually add up? I'm talking about 15-20...

it's mainly for vocal bass lines, just to drop them one single octave. any suggestions? i'm using the waves ultrapitch, and i can get it to sound natural on one single note, but the other notes sound terribly robotic. as i change it to sound natural on another note, i lose that sound for the...

does anyone know of any plugins for cakewalk that recreate some of the stuff you can do in protools? i want to be able to make dynamic stutters on vocals and stuff. what i've been doing is cutting out a piece of the vocals and exporting it to cooledit pro and then quickly looping it then...

i'm very close to getting an echo mia, but i just had a few clarifacation questions that maybe someone could help me out with. (just for reference, i'm gonna be using the mia along side an sblive.) i don't have the funds to get monitors yet, so i plan on just using my computer speakers. i...

In a few weeks, I'm going to be recording a small project for a college group. It's acappella, so it's all vocals and I had a question about preamps. I'm going to be using an AKG C4000B and I was just wondering how much of a factor the preamp is going to be. I have a crappy Behringer 802...

I have a real quick question about volume levels and the waveforms when bouncing tracks. So I have a vocal track and I went through and enveloped out all of the nuances like irregularly large breaths and notes that were held out too long and such. (These are mono tracks.) Now, I want to...

In PA9, other than going through the wav data folder and listening to them, is there any way in one clean swoop that I can dump each track to a seperate individual wav file for later import into a different tracking or mixing program? Thanks, Clazymike

I just had a quick question about mono and stereo. When I record in mono, mix down in mono and then master in mono, obviously it doesn't sound like stereo. Once the final recording is complete, is there any way I can expand that sound to have the fullness of something in stereo? I mainly deal...

My school has a studio that uses a MOTU 2496 card to record onto MOTU's multitracker Digital Performer 2.7. Is there anyway I can take what I've recorded from that and import it into Cakewalk PA9, mix it, then bring it back to Digital Performer? Digital Performer has this OMF Interchange...

I use Cakewalk PA 9.0 to track and mix, but I remember some people before saying that PA was no good to mix and master. Can anyone offer some suggestions of better programs to use for mixing and mastering? Thanks, Clazymike

I'm sorry to ask such a basic question like this, but what does one mean when they tuned tracks by "redrawing the sound waves in Pro Tools?" Is this similar to the graphical mode of Antares AutoTune or something completely different? Thanks. Clazymike

I use Cakewalk PA 9 to multi-track. Does anyone have any suggestions on what program to mix and master with? I'm looking for something with a bit more power. Pro Tools? Clazymike
