I just bought a Firepod and am going to sell my Aardvark Q10. When I sell it, can I include the unregistered Cabase LE that came with the Firepod? I'm know I can't sell the cubase on its own. I'm fairly heavily invested in Sonar at this point don't intend to use the Cubase.

I bought a Firepod before I realized my relatively new Asus A8N-E motherboard doesn't have a firewire port. If I use a firewire-to-PCI adapter card, will the PCI bus be a bottleneck in the chain?

I'm using Sonar 4. Since I recently swtiched to using per project audio files, instead of saving everything as bundles, only a few of the audio files in any given song are showing up in its project files dialog box. Well, my first project audio file is about four times too big to backup to a...

I need a: -4 track cassette -with 4 direct tape outs -plays at 3 3/4 ips -Dolby B or C noise reduction(not super important) I don't care about input functions/features. I may never recoerd anything new wtih it. I just want to play old tapes.

Does anyone know: -if the fostex xr-5 plays at 1 7/8 ips or 3 1/2 ips? -what type of noise reduction it has? The switch just says NR. Ptron

I have a bunch of tapes that were recorded on a fostex x-something or other that is long dead. I need a cheap, used, replacement, basically just for dumping the tapes to my computer. It needs to have dual speeds and dbx. Any common models to watch out for? I've been sifting through ebay...

Theres gotta be a way to turn effects on and off with an envelope but I don't see it. Any help?

How are they?

I started my first recordings with Sonar 4 last night and my old Aardvark Q10. After much frustration I figured out that audio inputs 2&3 and 3&4 were reversed. I.E. if my mic was plugged into input 1 of the Q10, I had to set the track input in Sonar to 3! The Q10 control panel would show the...

Can someone point me to a good FAQ/How-to for MIDI newbies/dumbasses on Using a keyboard to play/record softsynths in realtime? I'm trying to do it with an Aardvark Q10 as my interface and Sonar 3. And not having much luck. Ptron

I use Sonar 3. My usual procedure used to be to save projects as bundles everytime, but lately I've taken to saving stuff as a project, and then ocasionally saving the project as a bundle to save time saving. I recorded a friends band while ago and he's worked on it on and off since then...

After spending much time mixing a song in Sonar 3, suddenly all the effects in all the tracks reverted to their default/flat settings :confused: Compressors, EQs, reverb etc. They were all the Sonitus ones. I saved the song when it was nearly finished. I think I even opened it, played it, and...

Here's my setup: P4 2.4GHz Asus P4P800 Deluxe Mobo 512Mb PC 2100 RAM 2 WD 40G HDs Nvidia Gforce 2 video card Soundblaster Audio PCI card Aardvark Q10 Windows XP home A few days ago I removed the Motherboard from computer so I could test my old one before selling it. An unwise move it now seems...

I like to save an un-messed with version of all the songs I record, I.E. just the original tracks. On CDR, this usually means two sometimes one song per disc in bundle format. I've even got a few that are only 8 tracks, but long songs, that won't fit on a CD, although these are 24/96, which I've...

What's the deal with this mic? It's a Shure PE66L. It looks just like an SM57. On Shure's site, I found a user guide for them and it looks like they have the exact same frequncy response curve and polar patterns as th 57s, and that they were made from'84 to '93. Anyone know what the idea behind...
