Tried asking about this in the Cubase forum but not getting much response. I have a new PC with Vista Home Premium. So I had to dump my great Aardvark interface and go with the Alesis interface (Alesis io 26 Audio MIDI 24-bit 192kHz FireWire Interface). It worked when I set it up and tested it...

I have not had to post on here for a long time as Cubase worked great on my XP PC. Now I have a new PC with Vista Home Premium. So I had to dump my great Aardvark interface and go with the Alesis interface (Alesis io 26 Audio MIDI 24-bit 192kHz FireWire Interface). It worked when I set it up...

My new Dell is too loud to record with, and I can't put it in another room. My options seem to sink $200 into a "silent" powersupply and videocard fan. Or put it in the closet. I would like to use my switch box so I can have one monitor for my two PCs (old one and new one). So I can't use...

Waaaaaah! My new Dell is way too loud. With my old Dell I could smother the CPU with a large sleeping back, and then I could record with mikes and what hum there was would not be picked up. This new Dell is different. It is shockingly loud, and sometimes get even louder when Cubase is...

I ordered the factory matched set of Marshall MXL 603S mikes, that come in the little silver case with the nice shock mounts (said preamps by mistake in original post) and wind screens. They arrived on Friday. So I bought new cables, plugged them in to my new Aardvark Direct Pro box with the...

I have liked the 603S, but I am curious about the NT3. I can get the Marshalls as a stereo pair with shock mounts for $199. The NT3 tends to go for $179 each. Has anyone tried both of these mikes for acoustic guitar recording (PC DAW)? I am just curious if the Rode NT3 is really that much...

I just got my new Aardvark Direct Pro 24/96, that comes with Cubase LE. I am not sure how different LE is from the full versions. I am afraid it seems like it may only have two imputs. Since it is being sold with a 4 imput box for $500 that seems a bit like bait and switch, since you can't...

Thanks to people here I know more about optimizing my new PC for audio. Tonight I will install the Cubase Limited Edition that comes with my new Aardvark soundcard and breakout box. I am setting up a logon just for music and will go in and turn off all those things the various websites...

One thing I noticed in the on line Pro Tools demonstrations is how easy it is to record multiple passes of the same section and have them saved as different takes, without using up more than one track. Then, you can select which of the takes you want to use. And it plugs right into place...

I am close to buying the Aardvark 24/96. They are shipped with Cubase LE, but I can still find them with Cakewalk Home Studio. Friends are long time Cubase for Mac users. I like the on screen set up a lot. Would be ideal for my music (solo fingerstyle acoustic guitar or guitar and vocals, no...

I was told some time ago that Cakewalk was no longer supported and that you had to get Sonar. But now I see the Aardvark 24 bit audio card/interface is being bundled with either Cakewalk Pro Audio 9.0 or Cakewalk Home Studio XL, and saw one other Cakewalk listed as being shipped with that (are...

I do not use midi and will never be linked to synth anything. Basically live recording of acoustic guitars, some bass and vocals, but often with several tracks. But I want to be able to record four lines at once. Like two mikes to the preamps on the box, and two coming through the preamps on...

I just got a new Dell, I paid extra for the 24 bit Soundblaster Audiology card. Only to find out it does not have stereo ins! Total drag. But to make matters worse, I got 24-bit so I could download and use Pro Tools Free. Well now I find out that Pro Tools Free does not work with Windows XP...

Please keep me from cutting my throat. I have Cakewalk 9. There is a button that is the Update control values to automation. It seems to be stuck. I have tried everything I can think of to update to the settings I want. But it keeps reverting back to some previous setting where the levels...
