    Unable to open audio playback device error

    I have a strange error with my older project files. My MAudio Delta ASIO Analog device is installed configured correct because I can record and play back new files. However, with all my older project files, I have this error message and it will not playback. What is happening? Bad file? I...

    Autoslice in 10 sec increments in Sonar 6?

    Is there a way to take a track in Sonar 6 and automatically cut it into 10 second slices? I am uploading a 960 second wave file into 10 second bits for upload to SecondLife. I could do it manually but since I want to do this frequently, I'm looking for automation of some sort. I can't find...

    DVD Audio Crackling with external USB M-Audio Card

    This might not be the place for this but since my main concern is ultimately whether my Sonar 6 PE will work or not, I decided to ask anyway. I have a M-Audio Audiophile USB audio card. Everything is working fine with Sonar 6 PE right now. My operating system is Windows XP Media Center Edition...

    REX files in Sonar?

    I just picked up a four CD set of VST Drum Sessions for $1.95 at my music store. It is by (:wizoo:) but also has the Steinberg logo and says it is for PC or Mac. From reading the instructions, it seems to me they assume you have Cubase although it says nothing on the package that says Cubase...

    Power supply toasted...

    This is kinda related to Sonar because as I was just preparing to record with my new upgrade Sonar 6 Producer, I lost the power supply to my M-Audio Audiophile USB. The power brick reads 0v on the meter. I've just purchased another on eBay (it is a 1000ma) but I have a question for other users...

    WinXP Update Crashing Sonar 5?

    I have autoupdate turned on on my WinXP computer. After an auto update the night before, my Sonar 5 Producer kept crashing and the audio engine was sputtering even when I increased the latency slider for my M-Audio Audiophile USB. I restored to a point previous to the WinXP update and now Sonar...

    Speeding up audio process selection?

    I tend to use the same audio process on numerous tracks over and over again. It gets tedious to go Process / Audio Effects / Sony / Pitch Shift (or) Wavehammer over and over again. There are so many effects in the list, I have to keep scrolling to the same spot all the time. Is there a way in...

    MIDI track audible in WAV file?

    I've always understood that a MIDI track does NOT export to a wave file unless you bounce it to an audio track first as MIDI information is not audio. So that's what I've always done... create a MIDI track, bounce it to an audio track and mix to taste before exporting to a WAV file. Well I just...

    Timing between Fruity and Sonar

    I'm using Sonar 4 Studio and Fruity Loops 3. I put rhythm tracks or just click tracks together in Fruity Loops and export them to wave files which I then import to Sonar. I set the BPM to the same in both programs but end up with timing mismatches between them. What causes this when they are set...

    New Project File Template List Gone - Sonar4 Studio

    Somehow when I upgraded from Sonar 3 to Sonar 4 Studio, I lost my template list that pops up when you choose new project. It only says "Normal" now and just gives me a blank screen I have into which I have to manually insert tracks. Do I have to reinstall from the CD or is there a setting I'm...

    Sonar 4 is on its way!

    My Sonar 4 should be here next week. In preparation, I'm thinking of getting all my audio stuff off of this notebook (HP Pavilion ze4400 AMD Athlon XP 2200+ with 512MB Ram) and getting a desktop box instead. I'll still use my M-Audio Audiophile USB external sound card but I'm interested in...

    Which MIDI controller/keyboard?

    I'm going to purchase a MIDI controller / keyboard and I have my eye on a couple of Edirol models. I've been using a 300lb (j/k) 15 year old Yamaha PF2000 88 key keyboard that I'm happy to get out of my space (I'll play it in the other room when I want to tinkle a bit - I'm not a keyboard player...

    Another alternative for MS GM Wavetable?

    As I said in another thread, I've finally got my Sonar 3 Prod. working. One thing I'm wondering about now is how to use the WDM drivers on my M-Audio Audiophile without losing the MIDI functions. I have an OLD OLD Yamaha PF2000 keyboard (weighs about 100lbs!) but I don't like ANY of its sounds...

    Blue screen of DEATH!

    I have been using Cakewalk since version 9 and have moved up through Sonar 1 and 2. I upgraded to 3 when it came out last year but it never worked properly on my old laptop. Since I have a new(ish) laptop, and my latest audio project is completed, I decided to reinstall it. The install went...
