I am using a fairly old desktop PC, but have been running fine until a few months ago. Lately, I have been getting Dropout in the middle of recording, and it is really busting my stones. My Setup: Sonar 6 Producer 2.4Ghz, 2GB RAM, C-Drive is Apps-only. Audio data is on an internal (250GB)drive...

I feel like such a slacker. I never read this "required high school/college reading-list" book, but I checked it out on audio. All 30+ hours of it. I really liked it. And its message. Anybody else read this?

Not sure what's going on, but my Focusrite Octopre is connected to a FW host (RME Fireface 800) via ADAT optical and I'm getting an ungodly hum on the first two channels, which can be connected to via 1/4" in the front or XLR in the rear. The hum has come whether I'm plugged into the front or...

I need to know!:D

My favorite scenario when recording a band in my home studio is to have the drummer in a separate room, all other musicians in the control room with me. We can see each other thru a glass door I bought at Home Depot (not soundproof, but everything is pretty much bleed-free.) The drummer has cans...

I'm looking for an 8-channel pre to connect to my RME Fireface 800. The Mackie Onyx 800R is a bit more expensive than the Motu 8 Pre. Not sure of quality or other options. I'd like to get opinions.

I am retiring my old DAW, but when I last used it for recording it was still viable. For some reason now, when I use it for day to day use, it will reboot itself for no apparent reason. It is a 1GHZ P3 running Windows XP. I have 3 sticks of RAM (pc133). Two of them are 128mb, one is 256. I have...

So far so good. Setup on my laptop was a breeze. I'll be using it to record my band live on Saturday. Can't wait!

I just bought a floor model of a MOTU 828 mkii from Guitar Center. I tried to negotiate $20 off from them due to the fact that it has no manual. The MOTU website charges $20 for these. Anyone got a pdf? I'll even take scanned pages just to get started. I plan to order one but I'd like to get...

You know what this is. http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Delta1010-main.html It's extremely stable. High-quality and works with most recording software. I use two of them simultaneously with Sonar. I will throw in an extra PCI host card that you can put in a backup PC. You can't buy the...

Has anybody using Sonar 3 or higher been able to get Studiomix to work? If so, how? Control Surface menu? Is there a patch/plugin from Cakewalk? Thanks.

Here’s a 3D model of my control room. It’s in my attic so you can see the pitched roof (with skylights) and a 4 ft knee wall. The room dimensions are 19’l x 12’w x 7’h. The floor is carpeted. The ceiling is plaster. I have access to 2” insulation with nearly identical SAC as OC 705. The corner...

I got some of my best vocal tracks yet with a Groove Tubes GT57. Discernably better than my Marshall V67 (which has since died). I can't knock the Marshall for the money, but rather than spending $100 on a new one and not upgrading my selection, I picked up a GT55. The 57's weren't available and...

Right now I'm using two Delta 1010's and they work beautifully together. I routinely track 10-12 tracks simultaneously at 44k, 24bit onto an internal IDE drive thru a 2.4ghz with Sonar 2. I've done 16 with no probs. This has been my setup for a couple of years, but recently a power supply went...

Cyan Jaguar helped me out last time. I'm looking for two.

I'm thinking it may be a loose ground caused by someone pulling too hard on the xlr cable. Any ideas?

If I edit nodes in fader automation by dragging them with the mouse, add nodes, etc. and do this too many times between saves, Sonar crashes. Windoze stays up, but I lose my changes. I suspect it's ram. I think I have 256k.

Here's the first song in a collection I'm engineering and playing bass on. It's called "Let's Go" http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=1400&alid=-1 The other tunes on this page have been up for a while. Please just comment on "Let's Go" Thanks

So I'm hearing "Compression can cause phase distortion. If you have a DAW, use fader automation to tame your levels, etc." Well my attitude towards compression, (and this is mostly with plugins in Sonar as I don't have a decent hardware comp), has been if you don't know how to use a tool, then...

Dachay2tnr and I have collaborated on Chicago's "Does Anybody Really Know What Time it is?" It's here. Under XP I only had to click on it. http://home.comcast.net/~jcaporaso/music/ All vocals are the Dachays. I played trumpet and bass guitar. My friends did drums, sax and keys. The keyboard...
