I have a Dell P4 at 2.26 GHz with 512 MB of ram, Sonar 2.0, an Aardvark 24/96, and a bunch of Steinberg VST's. I am fed up with the instability of my system and the fact that I sometimes have to restart my entire system five times in half an hour. A couple of months ago I followed...

I currently have Sonar 2.0 and am thinking about making the switch to a Mac (probably a Power Book). I have a bunch of Steinberg VST plug-ins (Groove Drummer, Virtual Guitarist, Hypersonic), so I thought I might as well do the whole steinberg thing. However, i've heard that Steinberg is...

I just got an SR 16, and have only been using it as a sound module. I can't figure out how to start/stop the patterns from an external sequencer (I use Sonar). I turned the SR 16's internal clock off and turned the "clock in" to on, so that shouldn't be the problem. Could anyone help me out...

When I burn an audio CD on my computer, the last couple of tracks get distorted (there's some hissing, etc.). I've tried using different types of CD-R's, so it's not that, and I've used a couple kinds of software. Has anyone else encountered this problem? What do you recommend, if anything...

After copyrighting some songs, I got a letter from Amerecord saying that if I sent a demo of three or four songs, then they might publish one of them. Has anyone had any experience with Amerecord? Thanks, -Andrew

So I've decided to get away from consumer grade speakers and buy some monitors. My budget is pretty low (with a max of maybe 800). The Alesis Mk2's have been suggested to me, as have Event 20/20's. I've also heard about KRK v4's. Suggestions anyone? Thanks a lot! -Andrew

Does anyone know of a good, but cheap MIDI control surface? Thanks, -Andrew

I got the Aardvark 24/96 Audio interface, and it does not seem to work with Fruity Loops. Either the sound is completely distorted, or it is too delayed. If I try to play live then i hear about 10x the number of notes that I should. Any advice? Thanks, -Andrew

Everything at American Music Supply seems so fucking cheap! I've been looking at a number of items, and the price difference between this and the next best is amazing. Has anyone had any (good or bad) experiences purchasing from them? And if they're good, then how any other store still in...

When I''ve been using my VSC soft synth, all of the banks sound the same. For instance, if I select a Moog Organ and Variation 8, a regular organ will be played. Not only do I hear the regular organ, but in the VSC control screen it says Organ 1, not Moog Organ. This sucks. Any suggestions...

Sorry for a stupid question, but why is having two computer monitors a good thing?

I was told that these were good monitors. Does anyone know anything about them? Thanks!
