"20/20 Foresight" is the 2nd song I've recorded so far...I move depressingly slow. :) In any case, it's not what I typically write/play (it's the only "love song" I've ever written), but it's the song I wrote for my current wife when I decided I'd propose to her, and which I sang just before...

Hi Everyone, I'm finally getting a new DAW...my poor, trusty 5+ year old Dell is just not hacking it. However, hardware is NOT my strength. Could you please check out the template DAW specs "draft" below, and let me know what you think is unnecessary, inadequate, or simply a bad idea? (I'm...

I'm looking for ways to reduce room ambiance in my vocal recordings. Has anyone ever tried one of these products, or tried building something like them? Reflexion Filter http://www.seelectronics.com/rf.html = a portable device for recording live sound sources with reduced room ambience...

Is there a table or chart somewhere that compares the differences between Sonar 6 Studio and Producer? Likewise between Sonar 5 Studio and Producer?

Hey y'all, I've been lurking in the clinic for a while now, and it's finally time to dive in. I could really use some feedback on this track; it's my first, so beware of the pain! Here's a 192 kbs version: http://www.garagespin.com/songs/DreamSpin_Spinning-Daydream_192.mp3 Here's a 128 kbs...

Hi, I'm about to try to 'master' my first track in Sonar 3.0, and had a couple questions about dithering and EQ-ing that were mentioned in previous posts here: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=214019 - First, a stupid question -- When someone suggests "rolling off at 50-60hz"...

Stupid question -- This was working fine until recently; I'm not sure what setting I changed... When I record an electric guitar or keyboard directly into Sonar (through a preamp, Delta 1010LT soundcard, and then Sonar, specifically), I can't hear what I'm playing while I'm playing it. But I...

I'm using a Yamaha DGX-202 keyboard, a Delta 1010LT soundcard, Reason 2.5, and Sonar 3.0. Up to now, everything has been working fine. However, now MIDI rarely works in Reason. I.e. when I use the keyboard, no signal registers in Reason. Every now and then, it suddenly works, but then it...

I'm using CWENC (the free mp3 encoding software for cakewalk software) to create mp3 files for my Sonar 3 projects. CWENC gives the option of using constant bit rate encoding, average bit rate encoding, and variable bitrate encoding. The instructions explain that VBR is the the most advanced...

I know the Ultrafunk Sonitus Multi-Band Compressor is an incredible tool, but I haven't used it yet; at this point, I've only used the multi-band EQ tool and the generic compressor (in Sonar 3). I was wondering, when and how do YOU use the Multi-Band Compressor? Would you recommend ditching...

Here's a quick question -- I use Sonar 3, and currently, when I create an audio track, the "OUT" defaults to analog out 1 & 2. I use the M-Audio Delta 1010LT soundcard, which includes its own Audio Panel. Here's the question -- should I keep the outs going to the default destination, which is...

Suddenly, I am no longer to send MIDI info from my keyboard to my computer. I'm using a Yamaha 201 keyboard (2 yrs old) connected to a Delta 1010LT soundcard. I usually use Reason with it. Suddenly, no signal is getting through -- no even the little "keyboard" icon in the bottom right corner...

I realize this is a bit random, and perhaps hopeless, but I was just wondering if anyone has ever tried stereo micing a guitar with an SM57 and an MXL v67g? :) I'm recording a song that will only have an acoustic guitar, vocal, and an occasional atmospheric sound included. The sm57 and mxl...

I just bought a pair of BX5as... Before owning monitors, I was using a pair of headphones to do all my mixing; to do so, I connected the OUT1 and OUT2 of the Delta 1010LT to a headphone amp that I connected the phones to. I now have these questions: - How can I best arrange my setup so I...

Does anyone know of any Sonar-compatible software-based DeEssers? (And how do you spell 'de-S-er' anyway?) :) -M

A friend will be helping me with the EQ-ing of a track I'm working on. He uses a Fairlight Dream Station (??), and asked that I convert my Sonar project to an OMF file. How is an OMF file put together -- is it: 1) a file with audio only, minus plugin effects, 2) a file with audio, with plugin...

This is kind of a stupid question -- I'm sure there's a simple answer, please help. :) Is there a way to automate Delay so the last word or two in a sentence are affected only? For example, let's say the lyric is: "I want to apply Delay now." "Now" is the target section. Turning "ByPass"...

A stupid question -- I finally added a 2nd hard drive to my computer. I use Sonar 3, and already have audio recorded on the original drive. How do I configure Sonar on the new 2-drive set up to best optimize Sonar? And how do I configure previous projects I've already worked on? Thanks! -M

Argh! I had just finished recording a guitar that I was very happy with, only to find that I had accidentally left record mode in "stereo". So, you only hear the track in your left headphone (the right side is blank). How do you take one side of a stereo recording and turn it into a Mono...
