I am using Cakewalk Sonar 3 Producer and an M-Audio Delta 66 w/ Omni studio and I had two questions.
1. I made an MP3 for the first time today from a file I had in Cakewalk. When I exported to the MP3, it said Cakewalk MP3 Encoder Trial version. Does this mean that eventually in order to make mp3s I will have to purchase an extra piece of software? I had thought Sonar would include this.
2. The M-Audio Delta 66 is a great soundcard, but it does not do MIDI. I would like to use the metronome and use the tutorials in cakewalk, both of which require MIDI. What is the best/least expensive way to accomplish this. At the moment, I have no MIDI devices etc. 2nd soundcard? (SB Live!) or something else I could use later if I get a keyboard?
Thanks
