When I attempt to paste a clip from one track to another, it snaps to the left too far. This happens whether I copied or cut the source clip. I have been using HSXL2004 for almost a year now, so I'm not exactly a newbie. This problem has only recently started occuring!!! Maybe it's SP2 (XP...

When you say you have "M-Audio" are you talkng about a MIDI interface that plugs into your computer and your MIDI/Synth, soundcard, both, other? We use Cakewalk Homestudio Pro XL 2004 and an M-Audio (Midiman) Radium MIDI controller (no sound module, so we use the software synth sounds available...

I actually still have your page up, with all your songs on it. Want to listen to them all. Will definitely listen again.

Turn the monitors off when you are recording, you couldn't have them playing while you're recording, anyway, 'cause the playback would get picked up while recording. Turn off the mic (or unplug it) when you're listening on your monitors. I have been in a studio where the monitors being on...

OK, I'm gonna show my ignorance, but I want to know the answer, so gonna go for it: I didn't think wav files were the same thing as sequenced MIDI data. I thought those were analog audio. Don't you have to export sequenced MIDI data as some other format of file, and, while I'm at it, there...

I am still a bit confused about your objectives. When you say your game plan is to "start using MIDI" do you mean recording live performances to your computer, or playing the MIDI sequences (recorded earlier) back for stage performances? Or both? Another question: the "USB M-Audio MIDI...

What a natural and real voice your daughter has! She packs so much meaning and expression into her presentation. Clear, totally on pitch, so beautiful to listen to. And the harmonies are really, really pleasing. Wow. Wow. I really like the acapella, harmonized vocal intro! Beautiful...

Smart! That was a good solution. We just FINALLY got our DAW working with our Delta 1010, but we started out with a Soundmax integrated sound card and it was NOT terrible. It was an excellent intermediate step to find out if we were really gonna want to do this enough to make big investments...

Re: Depression in a Box, you mention that "the lyrics are so good" in your blurb about the song, but I can't really make them out at all on my rig. I really like the lyrics of songs. I'm using PC speakers with a subwoofer (they're pretty good sounding for PC speakers). Great emotional feel...

Amen! Drummers: They have to have more work to do than anyone else in the band, near as I can tell. They are moving almost all their body parts all the time, working their asses off. And good point made earlier by another poster that drummers have a lot more gear to lug (except maybe the...

This is one reason I love the Internet! Thanks for sharing the article. I look forward to seeing more of your book as you work on it. Things need a skeleton to really get up and walk around, is how I would describe the need to have an understanding of theory. Structure provides the essential...

Sounds like a great idea to me!

This may also be intended to be used when "punching in." In Cakewalk, you can set it up to ONLY record between the start and stop points, while allowing the performer to monitor (and perform along with) the track before and after the punch in start and stop. For example: you just want to...

Do you have a preamp between your guitar and your soundcard (have to have one)? And what input jack did you use? Line in? Mic In? Or is your card a multiple input jobbie? Is the right one selected as a recording source in your sound card's control panel? And has that been selected in your...

Thank you very much! I will be going down to the studio in a couple of hours and will try this technique. Cool
