It shouldn't matter what name you use as long as you remember what you entered.

You should have an iLok account -- go to their web-site and log in and you should see any/all licenses you've got installed on your iLok. If it's not really an iLok (where you plug in the dongle) but is some sort of software authentication and you've lost that number, it should be listed in...

I'm still new to a lot of this, although I've been a musician for over 50 years, so take what follows with a few grains of salt -- one thing I've found which really changes the final product on recordings I've made is to use a program like SoungForge or Audacity, select the entire track and use...

Is the heaphone plug plugged all the way in to the adapter? Are you sure the adapter is any good? You don't say whether the adapter was on the headphones when you tried them with something else.

It would be the "line out" -- and you can use a guitar cable.

I don't have the HD16 and I'm still brand new to my R24, but over at the Zoom forum I've learned that there are send/return effects for chorus and reverb and as such they apply to all tracks --- you can probably control how much of each track gets sent to those effects but not get different...

Go to the sonar website and see what you can download -- Sonar users are screwed bigtime unless Gibson sells the Cakewalk product line to some other company. Like you I purchased the "lifetime" updates only to find that word doesn't mean what I thought it meant. 1.5 years is hardly what most...

I've downloaded Reader and have been checking out the videos and other resources at the web-site -- wow, those folks are thorough! I'm definitely purchasing it. That kind of support tells me they're in it for the long-haul. Thanks for the insights everybody!

Thanks Songsj! I've downloaded and installed Reaper and will play around with it to see how it works for me. I also took advantage of the $149 special for Magix Samplitude Pro X3 and will see how that works for me. I really don't want to go to Pro Tools after what Avid did to Sibelius. I...

Thank you for pointing that special out! It's worth the price just for Sound Forge 11 alone! But since I want to make a jump to some DAW other than Sonar (since we Sonar users are being abandoned by Gibson) this is a great bargain. Thanks!

The Behringer U-Phoria UMC204 has midi in/out and two audio inputs, and costs about $80 at Sweetwater and other retailers. I just got mine at the end of last week and I haven't had time to put it through its paces so I can't speak for all of its capabilities, but my initial experiments...

Being relatively new to all but the most basic recording stuff, could someone please explain what "ducking the bass" and "ducking the guitar" mean? Thanks!

I'm one of the suckers who fell for the Sonar "lifetime upgrades" from Cakewalk a year or so ago and who now are stuck with software that won't ever be upgraded again. Unless some other company steps up to the plate and buys it from Gibson. What are people moving to as an alternate? I don't...

I just bought the Korg D3200 which would be ideal for what you're looking to do, although it might be a bit pricey, at $1299. But it allows 12 live simultaneous track recording as well as accepting SP/DIF optical input for 2 more tracks and including the built-in drums for 2 more tracks, for a...

Now that I've reorganized my studio (small office) to include a pair of M-Audio BX8a monitors I have a question on setting the levels: A) should I leave the level on the monitors turned up full and adjust the actual sound level by the fader on whatever source I am monitoring? -or- B) set the...

B&H Photo-Video-ProAudio has the M-Audio BX8a for $399.99/pair with free shipping (at least they did through last week). Shipping on a pair of powered monitors is very costly, so that makes the deal even sweeter. I listened to both the KRK PR8 and the M-Audio at a local Guitar Center and liked...

As for speaker placement, I've also read that having them either exactly at ear-level or slightly higher, angled down towards your ears gives you good control.

There's a whole Korg forum which can help -- it's at www.korgstudios.com and reading that helped convince me to get the D3200 as the unit with by far the best features/cost ratio as well as good build quality. I've only had mine for a week and haven't had much time to work with it -- I'm...
