Hey folks, I don't know if this has been discussed here before or not, but got a question about ram memory. My computer is running a 2.3 gizhz dual core processor with 3 gigs of ram. I guess with all the programs that isloaded into memory it is probably reduced by half if not less. I'm...

Hi, I downloaded a song track from a website that is all midi. I want to use this as a sound track to sing along, but my only problem is that the song is in a pitch to high for me to sing it at. Is there a way that I can move the whole entire track to a pitch that is adjusted to my voice? I...

i'm looking for a sampler program that is reasonable price but have sounds of like trumpets and guitar samples. i have the cakewalk tts-1 on my computer, but i want something that is more realistic than generated. anyone point me to a very good software that has these sounds?

hi, i've been using sonar for a while and there is one thing that I still don't understand. I've been searching and getting a lot of results on the effects sends and i feel like i am not getting the answer that i need. maybe i can get one here. say that on my bass channel i want to send it to...

ok, please bare with me the following question(s). how should i route the channels to the submix and main mix? on the intrument/vocal track the output says to the master fader, but what about the stereo sends? can someone help me understand this? i included a pic of my mix. i circled the...

hey folks, i was wondering about latency issues concerining firewire. I have the presonus fp10 interface and i just hooked it up on to my new computer. i followed all the directions on installing the device and so far it all went well. so, now I open up Sonar and open up a project that I...

I have the presonus firepod and i've read the manual about how to use it. the manual also talks about compressors and eq's that can be added to the first two channels. I want to know if there is a way to use an outboard rack with a DAW/PC? Or, where can I learn more about this subject at?

I wrote in about how to mic up a guitar and trumpet for a mariachi ensemble. I did a test run with the group by recording some guide tracks for them to use. I used my comp/lim/gate rack and it seemed to work pretty good. how much or how would I set it up for isolation when the musicians are...

i'm planning to record a mariachi band for a project. i have two pencil condensor mics and the sm57's and sm58's. what would be a good choice to record with, a dynamic mic or condensor? Probably about how far should i place the mic at from the trumpet? Thanks for your suggestions.

hey folks, i want to know a couple of things to see if i'm doing it right. last night, i was recording an acoustic guitar and i was using two pencil condensor mics. the mic placement at first was set far apart pointing at the right direction. one mic pointing to the hole of the guitar and the...

I don't know if this is the correct topic to put down. So, I'm trying to mix a song that has three guitar parts. I think its one lead and two rythm. For the rythm, I'm using Amplitube plugin. Is it better to put the plugin on the channel strip of the guitar's or to assign it to it's own sub...

when you guys add reverb or delay to a vocal track, when do you add it? do you add it in the mix on a bus channel or on the channel track? is there a reverb added at the mastering stage as well?

Hey folks, This is my second hand on recording with some new equipment and learning my way around Sonar. The song is called "Open the eyes of my heart". It is a Christian song, but we recorded it our way. It is still in its raw form, not mastered yet. I have done a lot of eq'ing on the...

anyone know how to or what software i would need to make a cd with only one song file? I have recorded a live radio program and it is saved onto disc. I want to get that one whole file and put it on cd without having to cut and paste the songs into seperate tracks. this sounds confusing, but...
