I upgraded to 6 ... I like the idea nuetral color better and the ease of selecting modules upon load up ... sonically the same. I agree with some postings on how some modules can really mess up a tune ... the trick is to learn what needs done on a induvidual song ... at first you can easily over...

These computer issues are hit and miss....in Sonar under preferences see what timing master could be switched around, although my card shows either output 1/2 or 3/4 can't hurt to try. Some time ago, my Sonar would step out of sync if the midi count in was higher then zero, such a four ticks...

Before recording with one mike, select the either the left or right channel under the audio tracks input select to correspond to what ever channel you are plugged into

If that amp was fabricated on surface mount technique, it would be difficult to fix, however, the tube sockets would factor that technique out. Point to point is sometimes harder to fix, due to multiple component leads soldered onto one lug. Circuit cards I've seen on some recent builds are...

Is there a count in of the metronome before the recording begins to roll? If so go to preferences/midi and somewhere there is a dialog on the count in, set it to zero. I experienced that sync issue on a few of my Sonar set ups, after upgrading along the way

I really like the EQ now, sort of hidden at first, but seeing the spectrum helps identify the peak frequencies. The colors are there, but it simply is tint on top of grey, kind of eh.....choosing custom color then whiten helps. Addictive drums are great, fast loading, lots of adjustments to...

When I built my first tube amp during the 90's, securing the power cord with those compressing grommets was challenging to say the least. The cord should be able take a fair bit of pull and not pull out, the beauty of IEC cords is should the cable get yanked, that cord will disconnect should an...

Sounded great the over all mix...My only concern was near the end of that tune, that guitar is buried to much in the mix....maybe pan to one side to embellish that take

What can help those songs, is to use the first take of the strummed track, as a foundation track, help build the other tracks, such as vocals drums or bass. then when they seem to dance, now try playing essentially the same chord progression, only leave some space here and there, let the rhythm...

My EZ drummer was a pain when I went 64 bit, same issue..... But the 64 bit version wasn't available back then Anyway when the 64 bit version is being installed. toontracks will prompt were the install should go, make sure its program files not the program(x86) directory. The DLL should show 64...

Under SonitusFX there is a handy noise gate that works very well. Remember to place it ahead of a compressor

There are better virtual drum kits that sound better than SD3, but regardless of the sounds, the technique of generating good drum tracks takes a while to master using soft synths A good drum pad helps big time, USB type works better than keyboard The trick to get solid sounding drum beats is...

Yeah they can exist, but a project saved on X1 will not open on 8.53 due to the different features on x1

If a new install, probably the count in is enabled, however the metronome defaults to none, so you don't here the ticks. Go to preferences/project/metronome record count in is at the top of that page, set to zero

TimO'Brien is spot on with daw drive set up Even if two drives are used, audio and samples still do better on another drive. Windows 7 you can keep an image file of your operating system should your system fail on C and image your second drive on an external every know and again and your data...
