Just wondering why most mic's are named with some combination of letters and numbers instead of giving them cool names. I refer to the SM57 as the "hammer" because I find it more useful hammering things into place then using it as a microphone, and I have heard people refer to the MD421 as the...

I am having some trouble getting some controls on my M-Audio Axiom 61 to work in Sonar HS. I have managed to get the transport controls, the rotary knobs, and 8 of the faders to work via Midi learn. However, I can't figure out how to get the 9 assignable buttons or the 9th fader to work. In the...
