Piles of files I don't have a dat at this point, but it's on the ever-growing list of stuff to add to my recording menagerie. Yeah, you should see the mess I've got in explorer. I need to take the time to open new folders and organize this stuff. I think a lot of my problems come from...

Well I'll be dipped . . . Finally gave in and called CW. They said to Solo the bounced track (never occurred to me) and then call it something different when I exported it to a wav, and hot damn . . . it worked! Then I tried to rename the li'l sucker and it said, 'access denied'. I just love...

Computer age blues Aaaaarrrrgggghhhh. I don't like losing a song. This one isn't even mine. I get to break it to a friend that I screwed up and she has to do it over. It's like when I started doing this we recorded a friend at her live performance. Who was I to know that Layla had its own...

buns & wavs Yeah, RR, that's exactly how I do it. That's why I'm so blown away by this. It worked perfectly on 12 files, but the 13th one appears to go to a different place on the hard drive even though it's address is Program/Cakewalk/CakewalkProAudio9. It's like the damn Twilight Zone or...

I'm at the end of my rope! I finally got my tracks sounding just how I wanted them. Then I sent 13 songs to .wav files to burn to CD. One song was missing. When I looked for it in My Computer it has an address of Cakewalk ProAudio 9 just like the wave files but it appears with a windows icon...

I'm recording a friend with a mondo-voice. Her vocals bleed all over her guitar tracks. Now I've got this great song with five tracks: three guitar tracks, one lead vocal and one harmony, in that order. Kicking up the other tracks to the level of her vocals made her sound like she's singing...

dachay2tnr . . . just wanted to say thanks for all the info and suggestions. As it turned out, having exhausted all other possibilities, I took the tower back to the dealer and he discovered that it was a Digital Audio Conversion problem. He said my CD ROM was transferring data at 48 when it...

Because I'm new at this, I'm afraid I might be talking in circles, but here goes . . . Yes, I extracted the audio from a CD and put it in a .wav file to copy it onto a CD just as a test. The ripped file sucks severely when played from the hard drive. I do have .wav files that I created from...

I've got a brand new setup (Ultra PC with built in Sony CDR and CDRW, Cakewalk, Layla soundcard) and I've gone through two ten-packs+ of CD's and I haven't gotten a decent CD yet. They all skip! I can play a CD from the CDR drive via the system's CD player and it sounds fine. The Adaptec...

Sample rate Hey, when you're right, you're right. It was the sample rate . . . but not in Cakewalk, and not in the Boss BR-8! It was Layla that was running at 48kHz! Their manual is really vague in spots. They don't even mention sample rate till the appendix and by the time I read all about...

Salright. I put the 'new' in n-n-n-newbie. What you say makes sense, but I don't know anything about winamp. How do I access it? The only thing I'm going by is that Cakewalk defaults to 44.1 with a 16 bit depth and I haven't found any reason to change either of those. I tried unhooking...

Yeah, it is 44.1. Somebody told me that maybe the Layla soundcard is interfering. Sounds a little far-fetched to me, but I thought I'd bypass it just to check. Any other ideas out there? Someone else said maybe it's the media. I'm using Memorex CDRs. Whadayathink?

Hi, everybody. What a cool site. Thank gawd I'm not alone on the precarious path of home recording!!! I'll cut to the chase: I've got an Ultra PC with a SonyCRX140E burner. I'm set up with Cakewalk ProAudio 9 and a Layla soundcard, both which work like charms. I can record directly or...
