    hard drive ATA question

    I want to install a second hd to my system. I have a HP Pavillion 8693C Walmart special. hey, it works........ How do I find out what ATA is in my machine? (can't find any info, and HP's site sucks the big one) Do I need to match the ATA #'s of my current drive to that of my new drive, or does...

    Cakewalk volume controls

    sr-16 Mutt To the best of my knowledge you can not do this. I have spent so many hours chasing the answer, it's ridiculous. That includes several chats with Cake's techies, several posts to this and other forums, and God know's how long on trying to get something out of Alesis's web site. It is...

    should I "Compact Audio Data" ?

    What are the pros and cons of CPA9's "Compact Audio Data" command? There seems to be very little info in the manual and help files, what a suprise........ Do you geeks out there run this command? (or am I looking for trouble)?? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks, Scooterr .

    information overload

    If I had it to do over again I wouldn't have bought the Layla. I have never used all those inputs at once, drums or a full blown live recording would be their only use. I wish I had spent the money on a nanoverb and a decent preamp instead. Also the Layla can't play back a CD, which is a pain...

    How do I regenerate "picture" files?

    Thanks for the replies. The problem stays with the project, closing and reopening has no effect. 95% of the waveforms are there and are OK, so my folders are working, or at least most of the time and I'm not changing any of that in the middle of the project. I get the clip name, but not even a...

    Cw Fx 1

    BBALL is correct about audition time, Options/global....( default is 3,) DSound has a freebie 7 band, the DS-GE1, that is pretty nice and is even in my price range, barely. Try this link, http://www.thedirectxfiles.com/plugins.htm lots of freebies, have fun. Scooterr (just how do you make...

    How do I regenerate "picture" files?

    A couple of my projects have lost their "picture" on some of the tracks in track view. The audio is OK, but the visual waveform is blank. The audio view is fine, but track view isn't. This is very random and happens for who knows what reason.....? Surely there must be a way to regenerate the...

    Midi faders won't control my Alesis SR16?

    Mutt, Thanks for the reply, I'm not using the 16s patterns, it is just slaved thru my layla, I'm recording the notes with real time record or using the staff veiw and entering them manually, and that all works, it plays them back. I can alter each notes volume via properties, or in the...

    Freeverb

    Norm, Looks like your getting good advice, but I guess I'll put in my 25 cents worth. The problem is not w/ Freeverb, specifically. I had the same problem with it and several other plug-ins, same error message, etc. I think Direct-X is not looking in the right place, or has a glitch. (my...

    Midi faders won't control my Alesis SR16?

    I can't figure out how to make my Midi faders (console view) contol the output levels of my Sr16 drum machine. I can alter velocities via the piano roll view or by manually adjusting properties note by note, this isn't what I want. I have a piece of shit riptide card, still installed, but I am...

    Direct Show Error is giving me the blues......

    I tried that, but the problem kills ALL audio, even tracks without effects. I also tried muting all but one of the tracks and exporting it to a new file and got the message "mixdown aborted" Makes me wonder if I should have been also?(just joking) Is there a way to find out what wave...

    Direct Show Error is giving me the blues......

    I have lost a song, and it's making me sad. Is there a chance for recovery, or have I "done been had"? I organized my "plug-ins" a while back, as they were strewn about here and there. Moved everything into a tidy directory, and now.....I can't play back audio from songs that I "saved" with...

    clipping introduced by EQ cut, what the _____ ?

    I'm EQing some master tracks that ended up bass heavy. The tracks had been ultramaxed and otherwise finished when I discovered the Mackie monitors I was using didn't like me. I thought, no prob, rolled off some "lows", & ran it. The new mix clipped several places. I have my layla set at 0...

    Audio from internal synths from Layla outputs?

    I am unable to "hear" audio output from my Layla when using using midi tracks (or metronome) from within Cakewalk. I can get the tracks (or metronome) to play back audio from my other sound card, which I'm guessing is a Riptide. Here are my midi port options thru Cakewalk. Input Ports Layla...
