Hello. I'm not an electrono geek, so I'm stuck. I have a new MOTU 2408 and I'm running Cakewalk on a damn fine machine. I got the hardware and software all installed, and Cakewalk recognizes the new board, but I can't get a mic that I have plugged into the board to do anything. The mic goes...

Man do I feel silly. Who'd a thunk in goes into out and out goes into in???? Okay so maybe it makes sense to electrono geeks... It's working now. On to the next equally horrendous step, using my speakers for output, not the keyboard. Diane

Hello. I have a midi keyboard and controller hooked up to my soundcard, a SB Live that came with my gateway. I am using Cakewalk. My computer is a Gateway PIII. I cannot for the life of me get Cakewalk to record a midi track. What dumb things am I failing to do? I tried all the midi input...

Help. I have a 600 mHz Pentium III and 256 mg of RAM. I am running Cakewalk Pro 8 (studio mix) and WIN 98. My system STOPS completely during recording.. even after a hard reboot. Anyone else experienced this problem?? Diane

Don't know about number of females, but I recognize this seems to be a male dominated hobby/interest. What is with that?? :-) Thanks to everyone for all the tips. I'm excited to get going. My Motu 2408 has not arrived yet, but I've got Cakewalk and Accoustic mirror, a great mic and a super...

So CM: are you saying that you consider CUBASE is top of the line in this price range? Has it been around awhile then with a proven track record? I checked out the bulletin board someone mentioned and I was intimidated by a few complaints about the interface and the number of bugs in new...

I'm looking into Cubase. Trying to find a demo download. Thanks for the info. What plug-ins are you using with Cubase or will it keep me busy for a while right out of the box? My Cakewalk Home Studio is pretty limited.

Thanks for your reply. I'm assuming if I go with Cakewalk I should be set for effects if I buy a plug in or two? Diane

So it would appear that if I want more capability in terms of effects I should check out the Fx plug-ins? Is it me or are the built in effects a little limited in terms of presets?

Hey anyone out there want to share their ideas? I'm researching software in the $500-$1000 range. Just looking for basic track editing and support of multiple outputs. Want to be able to plug midi in. Any suggestions? thanks.

Hi I'm new to pc recording. I've been using Cakewalk home studio. I just bought a new card, a motu 2408. Now I want to learn more about editing the music files themselves. Should I upgrade to Cakewalk Pro? What will it do for me that home studio won't? What about effects like reverb? Does...
