>>Always be there for your mastering... << Actually, most mastering engineers prefer that the client is not there for mastering sessions, and some actually charge more for the client to be there. I think that 9 times out of 10, the artist is not present for a mastering session. I would let a...

I wasn't aware that you could export midi/soundfont tracks to a wave file, it must be a new feature in Sonar (still using version 8) You definately can record your midi/soundfont tracks as audio tracks, just take the output from your soundfont device, and send it to the input of your recording...

You can probably use it, if it accepts and passes mic signals. My old 4 track could accept 4 mic inputs and pass them to 4 individual outputs. The limitations were: No phantom power (dynamic or battery powered condensors only), no XLR inputs, and poor signal to noise ratio, but if it's all you...

You hit the nail on the head. Pipe the output of your mid device or midi soundcard back into your soundcard and record your midi drums as audio. Make sure you solo the drum track so that it's the only thing that records. If you want, you can record your drums onto individual tracks, but you...

So I'm really considering upgrading from Cakewalk Pro Audio 8.03 on a Windows 98 machine to Sonar on a seperate dual processor PC running Windows 2000. This would allow me to fall back to my old setup if I have problems by simply moving my Delta 66 card back and forth. My nervousness stems...

I was recently given a friends old DAW after he upgraded. He was running Cakewalk Pro Audio 8.03, Native Instruments B4 VST and FXpansion VST to DX adapter 2.0. I'm trying to figure out how to use the B4 within Cakewalk using the VST wrapper, but I'm not having much luck. It seems like I can...

You need to edit the registry to do this. I don't remember the instructions, but I do remember I got them from Scott Garrigus, author of Cakewalk Power and Sonar Power. I believe he has a web site, and may actually visit this board.

I'm setting up a dual CPU machine to run Sonar, and I plan on running it dual bootable between 2000 and 98. Does Sonar benefit form either NTFS or FAT32 disk formatting? What are the pros and cons?

I thought these things refreshed themselves. I'm using version 8.03, and I'm not sure how to refresh my .wov files. I'm not even sure where you can tell Cakewalk to place them, my picture cache is located under program files/Cakewalk/Cakewalk Pro Audio/Picture Cache. I deleted all of them...

I like your idea for the most part. But.. If they are demos, why not mix at home? And why bother to master them? Just playing Devils Advocate. What are you recording on at home? What will you be mixing on at the studio? What is the benefit of this setup? Recording at home gives you the luxory...

I think the larger issue is that you appear to be living in sin. Stop shacking up, and marry each other. Oh, and get rid of Cubase. Actually your question is very confusing. You won't be able to run the recording applications across the network, they are too intensive for that. Networking...

I bet, whatever mic he used, probably smelled like beer.

All due respect, but I also have to disagree with a couple of previous statements. While it's true that not all 3d party software will route thru the interface, DirectConnect (also free) routes a lot of popular s/w synths, etc. into PT. Also, if you check out the Digi web site, I think you'll...

Well, If you like Pro Tools free, stick with it. I think it's limited to 8 tracks, but if that works for you, you've saved yourself some money. As far as not liking some of the others, you'll find people who swear by them, and others who swear at them. The digi 001 Pro Tools LE thing would...

What kind of sound card will you be using? Do you have a decent microphone? Generally, acoustic guitars are mic'd. To use a mic you need a mic preamp. Mixers generally have mic preamps. You could just plug your guitar into your sound card and record this way, but it won't sound like an...
