    MIDI Controller Advice/Suggestions?

    I'm contemplating getting a MIDI controller for synths (soft-synths) and possible Sonar mixing. Was considering the Phat.boy, Kenton Control Freak, Philip Rees C-16 and the Doepfer Pocket thangs. I would appreciate knowing what others use and whether they have any recommendations or other...

    MIDI Controller Suggestions/Advice?

    I'm considering buying a MIDI controller for my synths (and soft-synths) and possible Sonar mixing. I was wondering whether folks had any suggestions or advice. I was considering the Kenton Control Freak, Phat.boy, Doepfer Pocket Control thingies and the Philip Rees C-16. Not sure if this is...

    Delta 66, Sonar and General Volume Questions

    I am quite confused about a couple of issues and I was hoping some grizzled veterans of the wars could help me out. I'm not quite sure if this should go in the Sonar forum or the Newbie forum...but here goes. 1) I have the most recent drivers for the Delta 66. I'm not at all sure, however...

    Are the "Loops for Acid" CD's any good?

    Loop Pricing and a Question I have recently purchased the Acid for Loop packs (5 or 6 disks) at Guitar Center for $75. At that price, they are hard to resist. Much of them are usable - some seem to be idiosyncratic and not of much value - but then again, I haven't done a lot of exploration or...

    Are the "Loops for Acid" CD's any good?

    Loop Price Info and some Questions Actually, I've been picking up five or six packs of the Acid Loops at Guitar Center for $75.00. At that price, they are hard to resist. There are some that I really like and I've done very little true exploration yet. My question has to do with...

    Roland XV-88

    I have one and love it!! As a piano player, I really love the key action. Personal taste, but I'm in pig heaven. And the sounds are celestial. On the other hand, I'm not dragging it around. S.

    Digital Audio Question

    Hi all... Basically new to both the Delta66 and Sonar. Is it possible to record a track of digital audio and then -subsequently - record another track without re-recording the first track while still being able to hear the original track. Apart from the Delta66, I'm using a Behringer...

    SBLive Drivers and Sonar

    I'm running Sonar in Win2k. While I use the Delta66 for audio, I use my SBLive for MIDI and soundfonts - although I'm beginning to use the Livesynth, as well. Question is, which WDM drivers should I use, if any? There's the Win2K basic, the Livewire3 and some drivers from the Alive site in...

    SBLive in Cakewalk and Sonar

    I think I understand the concept on MIDI In. Do I want to have SBLive MIDI Synth or SBLive UART as my preferred MIDI output device in my Sounds and Multimedia settings? Your help is very much appreciated.

    SBLive in Cakewalk and Sonar

    I realize my question may be confusing...Not sure I can eloquently restate it - and you've essentially answered it, Al - but, here goes: In the Sonar Instrument define panel, I can assign MIDI channels from either the SBLive MIDI synth or the MIDI UART. Should the Roland be assigned to the...

    SBLive in Cakewalk and Sonar

    I recently went from Cakewalk to Sonar and upgraded to Win2K. I am currently using the WDM drivers from Win2K and NOT the Liveware WDM drivers (although, who knows, maybe I'll switch). I'm using Under the new configuration, I now have an SBLiveUART MIDI device which seems to be taking the...

    Hard-Drive Setup Question

    I have three hard-drives. The C: is a 30 gig Maxtor, D: is a 20 gig Seagate and E: is an 30 gig IBM. It is my intention to have a "dedicated" audio drive for musical applications like Sonar. Does it make sense to keep the application (Sonar) on one drive and all the audio on a dedicated audio...

    Overclock/RAM Question

    Thanks so much for the wisdom and explanation. Better. More Newer. Most. Actually, I'm quite content. I've just seen so much about overclocking that I was moved to find out what my parameters would be.

    Overclock/RAM Question

    I am a total n-e-w-b-i-e when it comes to a bunch of tech stuff including overclocking. On the other hand, I could never stand the idea of a party being thrown without my being invited. While I have absolutely no right to join the ranks of the overclocked I wanted to ask any knowledgeable folk...
