I've got a spare room in my house that I'd like to turn into a studio/work room. I'm planning on a single room design (control room and tracking in same room.) I'll mainly be recording vocals, acoustic guitars, and some percussion. I'll also be mixing in here so I'd like the room to be...

What will happen if I use a "split system" air-con (one that does not add fresh air from the outside) in a practically air-tight room? I know the simple answer: I'll eventually run out of fresh air. That's the answer, theoretically speaking. But I was wondering, if in practice, this type of...

I'm trying to use Sonar 2.2 rewired with Reason but there's one annoying thing. When I switch to reason (putting sonar in the background) to edit parameters or select patches, there's no sound. It works fine when Sonar is in the foreground, but switching to Reason makes all sound stop. Is...

I've worked with studio monitors in the past, but this is the first time I've been able to take a pair home and use them in my own setup (Alesis Monitor One's). Man... I can hear all sorts of things that I never heard before in recordings but... it sounds like shit. Reminds me of the time...

OK, there's been lots of discussion on what it means to be a producer vs. what it means to be an engineer, but what about the musical arranger? What are their responsibilities? Up until now I always that the "arranger" was responsible for the "musical arrangement", which is basically the...

Construction next door!! I have no soundproofing/no iso-booth :( I record at home on the second floor of my house. My room's approximately 5x4 meters. About how much would it cost and how long would it take to soundproof my room? Thanks.

This is driving me nuts. I'm running Sonar 2XL on WinXP Pro with a Delta 1010 audio interface. When I try to use the Delta WDM drivers, I get no audio output from Sonar, nothing even registers in the meters (both the meters on Delta control panel and in Sonar). Also, I cannot 'start audio...

I've searched, but haven't found anyone else asking this question. How do you move/duplicate MIDI parts while snaping to their relative position? This is automatic in Logic and Sonar. In the cubase manual, it tells you how to do it for audio ("Snap point to cursor") but I cannot figure out...

When I record MIDI in Cubase, everything is doubled. If I play a note once, it will be recorded as 2 MIDI events. The two events are spaced apart consistantly (11 ticks) and all other data (duration, velocity) are identical. I'm running Cubase SX 1.01 on WinXP Pro. I'm using a Roland PC-300...

In Sonar, when 2 audio events overlap in a track, you can manually edit each crossfade. Is there a way to do this in Cubase SX other than "Auto Fades Settings..."? I want manual editing for all overlaping audio events.

A while back my Delta was screwed up so I was recording with a SB Live Value. My Delta is fixed now and it's been working fine. But today I tried to listen to some of the stuff I did on the SBLive and guess what, I can't hear anything. I press play in Sonar, the time display runs, the cursor...

I recently got a 1202-VLZ. I'm using the INSERTs to send signals to my soundcard. Mackie uses this "first-click"/ "second click" design. I've got my cables (Neutrik connectors) plugged "first-click" (which does not interrupt the signal to the MAIN OUT). The problem is that the connection is...

i have installed the new drivers what is the bass management stuff for? and now in sonar i have a new set of 'multichannel' drivers. what are these for? why doesn't the midiman site have any info on this stuff?!@#$?

Sonar2, WinXP and Delta1010 driver 5.10.0.26 and newer Anyone having problems with Sonar 2 and these Delta drivers? Playback in other programs (winamp, sonar, wavelab) is fine, but Sonar playback is extremely distorted. Upon increasing buffer settings, the distortion gets better but is still...

I finally installed WinXP and Sonar 2. Can anyone recommend a DXi sampler? This LiveSynth thing doesn't really seem to do much. That's one of the few things I like alot about Logic. It comes with the EXS24 which is a great sampler. Where is the DXi equivalent?
