This is the first of my own compositions that I have recorded and set free. Happy Haven. It's a light, jazzy number. Feel free to criticise and/or praise it as you see fit. The backing is MIDI but the guitars are real. I haven't applied any processing to the signal, no compression or...

Using Dyad Dxi This tutorial explains how to use Dyad Dxi for playing SoundFonts. I will concentrate on Drums in this tutorial, but the technique can generally be applied to other SoundFonts that are not bundled with Dyad. For this tutorial I have used Douglas Natural Drums, but equally could...

My fellow Walkers Of Cake, I want to apply an envelope to one of my MIDI tracks, but HS2004 keeps defaulting to track 1 and I want to work on track 3. What's the approved methodology for getting around this minor irritation? Please don't tell me to drag track 3 to the uppermost position -...

Hi there my fellow Walkers of Cake, I was reading the chapter in my HS2004XL manual about Cyclone DXi. So I thought to myself: "Self, why not give it a go..." I followed the instructions in the manual, I opened a new project and clicked on the Synth Rack icon. Great puzzlement in the...

I found this Sync Loops At Different Tempos article while searching through Sound On Sound. It's an old article, but probably still relevant. It may be of interest to you Sonar users out there. -- BluesMeister

Greetings, I’m curently assembling my new Asus P4PE Pentium 4 PC. It’s the first time I’ve attempted this sort of thing and so far it’s going together without any hitches. :) I will be installing a new 120GB Western Digital HDD and I’ve salvaged from my old PC my GeForce2 MX400 video card...

My fellow Walkers of Cake, I have composed a tune that currently uses the Edirol VSC DXi for percussive sounds, but I'd really like to use an Indian Tabla and one of those drums that changes pitch when it's struck. The VSC DXi really can't cut it for this particular tune. Do you know of any...

Hey there my fellow pluckers, I've got an Ibanez Artist, 1982 model, fitted with 2-HBs and 2-Tritone switches. With my PU switch in the mid-position, if I dial down the volume for one PU it affects the volume to both. So if I dial the just the neck PU down to zero I don’t hear anything at all...

Hi there Walkers Of Cake, I'm using HS2002, here's a couple of problems you may be able to solve for me: 1) The Solo button doesn't work as expected. When I click on [S], it mutes everything including the track that is suppose to be soloed. :( I compose MIDI tracks that later I will replace...

Hi there you Walkers of Cake, I'm trying HS2002 with VSampler3 Beta 3a right now. I'm getting an error message on startup that is not related to VS3: "The following driver(s) either do not support the current audio format, or are in use by another application. "Please choose whether your...

OK Peeps, I need the benefit of your experience. I really need to move up from CW PA7 and I've been told elsewhere on this BB that Sonar will do everything that I want. In a nutshell I want to be able to fire up my MIDI backing tracks and record guitar overdubs. The whole shebang is then...

My fellow pluckers, I recently bought a 1982 Ibanez AR305AV Artist. Beautiful guitar, gorgeous Burl Mahogany finish, but it has a DEEP scratch running from the tailpiece for 3" or so. Someone must have taken a screwdriver to adjust the tailpiece and it slipped... So how do I go about repairing...
