    my Drive D is gone! please help

    First, is it blank after you reboot again? If so, continue. Why were you mixing the whole song down from 32 to 16 bit? That is extrememly RAM intensive and I don't recommend doing that. Work in 16 bit until CD's can handle 24 bit encoding and sampling rates. You also said you were doing...

    Recording from my CD Rom

    The SB Live has several different lines, each suited to a different kind of computer user. The biggest difference with the Platinum card is that it is a dual card. One sits in a slot on the motherboard with a pass through cable connecting the second card in a front bay. On the front bay you...

    Recording from my CD Rom

    I have the Platinum card and these are great consumer cards. It's very easy to record from your CD ROM. When you set up your sound card, you should have set it either to CD/analog or CD/digital. From your main menu for the SBLive Launcer, you will find the audio control panel, listing the...

    Getting ready to buy a synth...

    Reply to Serum Sorry for the generality of my post/question. Here is what I'm looking to accomplish. I have software synths, so that's no big deal. I need a good keyboard, probably a 77 or 88 with velocity to use for folley(sound effects) work as well as scoring and composing. Also, since...

    Reverb, Chorus???

    A little more in depth to the previous reply: In Sound Forge For vocals, run a noise gate first. This will take some trial and error, so give yourself some time to figure out that effect. After that, you can either compress the track or you can use the normalize feature. Both do about the...

    acid

    A little more information would be helpful, but let me take a stab at this: The effects pack that comes with Pro 2.0 is limited but sufficient. To ad an effx package to a track, right click on the track (as you would to add a volume or pan envelope) and choose effect. A pull down menu will...

    And I'm overwhelmed with the choices. The machine I'm running is a AMD Athalon 650, 288 mbs of RAM, ATA 66 HD, Platinum Live Sound Card, Win98 OS. I work primarily with loop samples in Acid Pro 2.0, but I want to learn how to use a synth and I'm looking at both a Gigasampler and maybe the...
