    beyond general midi...

    Hi Jaymz, Thanks for the replay. Actually yes I did find a way to record the midi as audio...I mentioned it in the above post. I wasn't trying to record the sounds from my keyboard...just using it as a controller to get the sounds out of absynth. I already had the midi track recorded as midi...

    Please tell me there is an easier way..... Ok, I've found one way to record the midi as audio, but this really seems like I'm pulling teeth here....again I'm using the sounds from the Native Instrument's Absynth...-not- the sounds from my Kawai (its an older keyboard and while it does have some...

    beyond general midi...

    ok...next batch of questions.... Hi Guys, Ok...yea I knew about the general midi thing meaning compatability...aka so if you record something on one puter, the piano part don't end up sounding like trumpet on another...got that.

    beyond general midi...

    ok...no Sound Fonts, but I have found something else that works... Hi James, Ok...been working down in the studio all morning. Aparently my sound card does -not- support Sound Fonts as it appears disabled in Cakewalk (being disabled, I never noticed it was there to begin with). However, I've...

    Passive/Agressive mastering.......

    such wonderful arrogance... After reading some of these reply's, I just felt I had to add another $.02 worth here... TommyGun...your quite welcome. I too as a "newbie" have so much to learn, but because I wasn't -born- with this knowledge already pre-programmed into the old noodle, I don't...

    Mixing & Mastering...I'm I doing this right?

    Ok...this may take a bit as I do tend to be rather -long winded- when I write, so thank you in advance for you patience and maybe grab a cup of coffee before you start! This project I'm working on is getting down to the wire so to speak. I sort of understand the basics of mastering, but have...

    Passive/Agressive mastering.......

    my $.02 worth I haven't read -all- the posts in this thread so forgive me if I repeat something someone else has said here... As someone who's also learning the "crash course" on his own, there's a couple of things that I've learned here as well. The reason that -I- reference my own material...

    level meters...are they acurate?

    levels... It seems to primarily the peeks that seem to be the problem here. You said you were using Sonar...I wonder if maybe this was something that was "fixed" when they want to Sonar(?). I do realize that Peak and RMS are two different things. I had been wondering about this for a while...

    level meters...are they acurate?

    Hello Again! Sorry I've been away from the forum the last few weeks, been a little crazy around here. Anyways, what I need to know is; are the level meters on the mixing consol in CWPA 9 accurate? I've been using a couple of various plugins with meters on the masters (ie the PSP AudioWare...

    Cakewalk file names?

    that raises another question... Ok...yea it makes sense that clean and such wouldn't delete the files in the project, however that raises another question... Does this apply to all the project files in recent memory in Cakewalk? Say for example, you have 4 or 5 different songs your working on...

    Greetings All! I think this is the first time that I've posted to this part of the forums, so bear with me :-) What I basically need to know is; is there any rule of thumb about what order to run effects in? What I'm running on my masters (err... Calkwalk Pro Audio 9) is; reverb, compression...

    Cakewalk file names?

    file names... Ok...I think I may try the bundle thing. I had actually been looking at that, but at am a stage with this particular project where I'm just terrified of changing anything because I don t want to mess anything up. After I get everything mixed down and burned, I may go back and...
