    Two hardware setup ups in windows

    How do I make 2 different hardware profiles? I have a 2496, a Delta 66 and a Delta 1010lt that I use together in Sonar. But I want to try this new M-Powered Pro Tools since it now supports my 1010lt. Pro Tools can only use 1 card. But I don't want to go disabling a bunch of stuff and mess up...

    Gain vs. Faders on a Mixing Board

    What is the proper technique to use when setting your levels in a live situation. I set the faders to 0 and adjust the gain to get it "in the ball park". I then adjust the faders to find the right volume. Is this the correct method? Someone once told me to set the gain to 12 o'clock and make...

    XP sees Delta 1010lt as a Delta 44

    Every other time I turn my computer on, XP Pro tells me it has found new hardware. It says that it has a found a Delta 44. The thing that sucks is the card is a 1010lt. I am using the latest drivers but they don't do me any good if Windows won't see it as the correct hardware. What should I do?

    Help with Volume on Drums

    I am having a horrible time mixing my drums in one of my projecxts using Sonar. All the recording is done, I am just doing the final mix. I have set the volume of the drums so that they get as close to clipping without actually clipping. But this makes them so much quieter than the rest of...

    Another tired question about P4 vs Athlon 64

    I know that this had been discussed a lot but this should be pretty quick. If all other specs are equal, should I take a P4 3.2 HT or a Athlon 64 3500+? I run Sonar 3 with mostly audio tracks, very little midi.
