Howdy, folks. I'm having a problem, and I'm not sure where to try to fix it - not sure if it's MIDI or audio related. I have a MIDI drum track that I'm sending to the TTS-1 DXi. Every so often it sounds like the drum track is stuttering. I'll hear a hi-hat, for example, that almost sounds...

I have questions on how all the Dynamics Processors work actually, so if anyone can direct me to instructions for them, I'd be much-obliged. I can't find them in the SONAR help. I pretty much understand the Compress and Dynamic Processor for the most part, and I thought I understood the...

Howdy, folks. I'm getting a new hard drive for Christmas, and I just want to double-check how it's supposed to be set up to maximize SONAR performance. Is it that audio files should be on a separate drive from the system files? Or, is it that audio files should be on a separate drive from...

Howdy, folks. I thought my trusty Audiophile 2496 soundcard was hosed since my comp was not recognizing it properly, but the good news is that I don't think that's the case. I tried my old Santa Cruz in the computer and got the same problems, and I tried my Audiophile in an old computer and it...

I have a problem that I'm starting to think is more of a system hardware problem than a SONAR problem, hence the call for help in this forum now. So, if anyone here is good at that kind of stuff, could you take a look at this thread and see if you have any suggestions for me...

Howdy, folks. I'm having a problem that I can't figure out and could use some help. I noticed it when I tried to use the SONAR (using version 3 Studio) tuner. I got a popup that said "M-Audio Delta ASIO Analog In 1 Delta-AP [1]: The specified device is in use. Wait until it is free, and then...

This one really has me confused. I have a stereo track that I want to split into separate L/R tracks - no problem... I did Edit -> Bounce to Track(s) and chose "Mix to Separate Left and Right Tracks". The problem is that my stereo track was not clipping (peaked out at somewhere around -1.5)...

Cool Edit 96 here! Gotta love the freebies! :D I'm transferring some tapes to CD. I'd like to get rid of the tape hiss. Have any of you used the Noise Reduction feature in Cool Edit with much success? Also, is this how you use it: play a blank section of the tape so you just record the...

Howdy, folks. I need a pair of monitors on a shoestring budget. I found MAudio DX4 Active Nearfield monitors online for $150, but sadly even that's too pricey at this point (buying new house). So, I've found some really cheap ones, but they don't say "Nearfield" in their description, so...

Howdy, folks. Well, after the Audiophile 2496 dropped to $100 from $150, my thinking about getting one finally turned into a purchase. I have been using a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz soundcard, which I would like to keep using for non-recording kinds of tasks (don't do much gaming, but for...

Howdy, folks. I'm trying to do something that's so simple that you'll probably all call me a moron while giving the solution. That's ok! I can take it... I'm thick-skinned! ;) If I can get a solution to this, I'll be happy no matter what you call me. :D I have a bar of MIDI info (drum...

Howdy, folks. A couple of questions about the scrub tool. When I use it, it works, in that it does play my stuff back at the different speed. However, it also gives me a repeated fast-clicking sound whilst I scrub (clicking is at same fast speed - not related to my scrub speed). Do others...

Couldn't quite figure out the best forum for this, but hopefully some folks here can help me out. I currently have a subscription to Electronic Musician which is about to expire. I've found that, on occasion, I find some useful nuggets in there, but for the most part, I find that a lot of the...

Monitoring through my computer is so bad (about 20ms) that I can't use input monitoring and have to do stupid things like just put one ear of the headphones on so I can listen to myself singing/playing guitar/etc with the other ear.  I also have found that, when recording bass, I can actually...

Howdy, folks. I'm thinking of adding some more memory in my computer (currently only have 256M with WinXP - gonna add another 256M). The memory that my computer (a Dell) came with is ECC (error correcting) memory, which I understand is common in servers but not so much in PCs. I also...

Ok - first real mix attempt and first post. I'm a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none kinda musician who just likes to screw around and do mostly cover tunes with an original song popping out every now and again. I know there are plenty of things wrong with this, so should have lots to choose...

Since I upgraded from SONAR 2.2 to 3, I'm getting this weird problem in the display of the dialog boxes of some of my Cakewalk FX MIDI effects where some of the labels aren't showing up. I'm seeing it on the Arpeggiator, Midi Event Filter, Quantize, and Velocity effects. I've attached a...

I have this one place in the song I'm working on now that sometimes clips and sometimes doesn't. When I go to replay that part, I rewind several measures before the spot just in case effects tails from way back are adding to the mix. I have a limiter on the Master bus, so it's really...

The info that I've found on this (which I'm looking into to potentially be my new soundcard :D - YAY) says that this soundcard has MIDI in/out, but I haven't been able to find anything that tells me if it has its own MIDI synth. Can anyone tell me if it does have a synth built-in? Thanks, :) -Jeff

I'm trying to use LiveSynth Pro to send my MIDI drums to a Blue Jay Drums soundfont. Initially, my MIDI drum track was set to Channel 10 while I was creating/editing it, since I was just playing it through my soundcard's synth. Then, when I went to send it to the soundfont, I switched the...
