    Midi popping

    Sorry if this issue comes up every week here. I'm new to the world of MIDI and this problem is driving me bonkers. For some reason when I play MIDI tracks I occaisionally hear little random pops coming out of the speakers. I do not have this problem when listening to digital audio. The pops seem...

    Outboard gear

    A rudimentary question: I have cakewalk 9.3 and a Delta 66 soundcard. I've been recording audio (as opposed to MIDI). Can I use outboard gear (like a reverb box) for mixing? How do I set it up? thanks, steve

    Bouncing loud tracks

    I'm still sort of a newbie with Cakewalk 9 and this forum, so please excuse if this has been answered several times before. I'm very confused as to how you handle bouncing tracks to create more memory when the tracks in question are too loud and will peak and distort when mixed. Seems if you...

    CDR mastering with lead-ins

    Hi. I asked this in the Cakewalk section, but no-one knew so I'll try here. I'm new to the CDR-writing software game... Anyone know how, when writing a CDR, to get/control a lead-in of time (ie - counted backward) before a song starts? Which programs allow you to do this? It would be great to...

    Help with Midi

    Hey everyone. I'm a Midi Newbie (capital N) and I'm trying to figure out how to turn some Midi info into digital audio.

    Making CDs from 24bit

    Hello. A while ago I asked the list what format they liked to record in, and the consensus was that 24 bit 44.1 was the best because you could make CDs directly from these files. I now have a 24-bit track in PA9 ready to go and I can't burn it to CD. I'm using Easy CD Creator after I mix it down...

    Help - recording audio crackles

So I'm in the middle of recoding a vocal track for a song and all of a sudden about one out of every 2 takes or...

    Resampling

    Hey everyone. A while ago someone mentioned on here that the best thing to do when recording in the digital realm is use a higher bit length and sampling rate and then convert it down later. I just recorded a song in 24/96, and changed the bit rate in Cakewalk 9.02 to 16 before making a wav...

    Moving/editing audio clips

    Hey everyone. I'm wondering what the best method is for moving a portion of an audio clip (ie-from a wav). Like if you've got a snare track and one hit is a little off and you'd like to move it forward a bit. What's the best way to do this with minimal pops and awkward dropouts. (At first...

    Mixing and Volume Faders

    Forgive me if this question sounds rudimentary. Any help would be very much, much appreciated. When you folks are mixing audio and you want to try to find a good level with the faders, what is the proper course of action with regards to making the faders stick, so that they don't revert back to...
