I'm sure some veterans around here will disagree with me on this, but I'd thought I'd share a a lesson that I've learned so far (in the last month and a half). So this is from a newbie point of view. I just started learning about home recording and knew nothing about condenser mics, preamps...

Hey guys, just wanted to say that all the references to MIDI in Sonar's help guides and tutorials made me feel like I wasn't gonna be able to fully benefit from this program until I got me a MIDI keyboard. Just picked up a Yamaha DGX-202, 76 key monster. Now what's the difference between the...

I saw some mentions of this book on various threads. I just ordered a copy from buy.com. Can I get some comments and reviews on the book? kt

I'm going through the tutorial at computermusic website and the first step is to open a new project, and I see a whole big list of templates to choose from. Is Sonar suppose to have different options, because all i have is Normal. Feeling kinda weak with no templates, man. kt

I just got a DMP3 and would like to see if it greatly improves the signal over the pres in my mixer. My question revolves around sending the signals to my SB Live soundcard. 1. Should I send my OUTs from the DMP3 to the mixer, or directly to the soundcard? 2. Should I use balanced cables for...

Ok, I'm diving in head first. A little disclaimer: the music isn't mine. I can't play any instruments so I resort to ripping it. The music comes from Vietnamese songs. And you know how those dirty rotten pirates in Asia are. This might not even be original Vietnamese music either, but they...

Before I post a song in this clinic, are there any rules before I do? Being a total newbie at this, I was curious if it was alright to post a song with no added effects, no anything except volume adjustment to control clipping. I considered adding some reverb and fading out at the end but I'd...

Going back to my SB Live for now. Audiophile cannot record internal pc audio going throught the Windows mixer. Reply from MAudio tech support: "Kevin, Since the 2496 does not use the Windows Mixer the way the soundblaster card does, you are not going to be able to record like this. The 2496...

Can someone tell me the difference between the choices in Sonar M Audio AP Multichannel 1/2 vs. M Audio AP 1/2 Much appreciated. Also why is there M Audio AP Multichannel 1/2, M Audio AP Multichannel 3/4, and M Audio AP Multichannel 5/6? thanks are there really 6 inputs? kt

Anyone ever try it?? I emailed them over teh weekend and still no response. No phone number available either. Anyone have problems reaching these guys or what? kt

Hey guys, I tried doing a search for "A/D converter" but was unsuccessful in finding real useful information. Recently, Blue Bear suggested that I could record 2 tracks simultaneously with my Audiophile 2496. But for the second track, I'd have to use an A/D converter and feed the SPDIF input...

If there are only two analog inputs (1 left, 1 right) on this audio card, how do you record two simultaneous tracks? Is that including the SPDIF or MIDI ins?? kt

are there conflicts between these cards. Something weird happened when I installed the 2496 with the Live still in. My Radeon video card kept crashing the system. Go figure. Anyway. I took the sb live out, and everything is working great now. Are these two cards suppose to co-exist ok...

I'm new to Sonar and am going through the tutorials right now. I have no MIDI equipment, but the first tutorial file uses a project with nothing but MIDI files. I don't get any playback. I have the Audiophile 2496 and the OUTS on each track are set to 1- Delta AP Midi All the midi drivers...

OH MY GOD!!! Why didn't someone tell me how much better the condenser mics are vs the dynamics. Being such a newbie (that's why this post is going here) I had no idea what to expect from my new studio projects c3 mic. I've been singing for about a decade using shure's sm58. Ignorance was...

OK, help out guys. This is my first condenser mic. I just got it in and tried hooking it up just now. I have the C3 plugged into low Z xlr with phantom power on. I also have my Shure sm58 next to it. The Shure is putting out a signal, but no matter how i fiddle with the C3 and the gain on...

Just got my Sonar 2 xl and audiophile 2496 installed on my computer. I have the 2496 OUTS going to separate channels on my mixer. I am getting major crackling in my playbacks within Sonar. But if I listen to the same waves in a separate wave editor, the crackling doesn't exist. Am I missing...

Can someone give me a site to read up on what to look for in buying a midi keyboard? like what features to look for. I'll be using it with Sonar 2xl, sonic foundry 6, band-in-abox 12 i htink thats all i got kt

Hey guys, I wasn't planning on using a Peavy EQ and a Digitech Effects Processor that I have for recording since most tracks can be manipulated via software. But it sucks to have things just sitting around. Are there benefits to controlling the feed going in to the soundcard versus doing all...

What are the options in hanging mics from overhead? And this is a real newbie question...Do LD condenser mics fit on regular mic stands? I've never owned one but the mic body looks a lot 'fatter' than my dynamic sm58.
