Well here is my first song played and recorded without my band Wayside. I figured I would give a shot to playing all the instruments myself and doing the home recording thing. I can't quite bring myself to call it a "solo project" though :-) Anyway if anyone wants to give it a listen and...

Hey All, I'm interested in getting some opinions on vocal effects, in particular reverb and delay. Both are common effects for vocals, but when would you want to use one over the other? ie. use reverb when you want to attain what type of effect, or when does it make more sense to use delay...

Hi, I'm a bit confused about bit depths and sample rates and was hoping for a little advice. Our band is planning on recording some music by each person recording their parts separately on their own computers and then merging all the parts into one song on my computer. Now my audio card...

Hi, I have a real quick, hopefully easy question. I am using Sonar 1.0 and have recorded three separate lead vocal tracks. I have then pieced together a new vocal track built from bits of the other three tracks. Now one thing I have noticed was that my three original tracks were not all...

I came across this basic eq primer and I thought people might be interested. I am new to the recording/mixing world and I was having trouble finding a place to place to start learning about eq. This article seems to have a lot of good info. Of course you have to use your ears, and every mix...

So I haven't had a chance to record in months.....I finally get some time, buy SONAR, write some music and wham I hit hard drive hell. Heres my problem, if anyone has some time and insight. I'm running a PIII 733, 256MB, SB Live Plat. with a Gigabyte GA-6VXE7+ mobo. A while back I had...

Hi, I'm having a problem with Sonar 1.3 and I'm wondering if anyone has any insight. I just bought and installed SONAR, I was previously using GuitarStudio2. It seems like it should be a common problem but I've searched the bbs and can't really find a solution I haven't tried. Ok here's the...

Hi, if anyone can help me out with the following, I would really appreciate it. Ok..what I am trying to do is record our band practices - nothing too serious, I just want to make some MP3s for the guys. I am using a small Mackie board, 2 SM-58 mics, and a mini-disc recorder. I could also...

After spending close to five hours struggling, I figured I would turn to board for some help. I am using Cakewalk Guitar Studio 2 (although the problem happens with Sonar demo as well), on a Pentium III 733, 256 MB RAM, SoundBlaster Live (using EMU APS drivers rather than Creative), with a...

Hi, I have started trying to use drum loops to help complete the rock/pop songs I have been working on. I was basically wondering about how people go about creating their drum tracks using loops. I have a basic understanding of ACID and and other wave editors but here is my main question...

I have a quick question for anyone who has installed a new hard drive specifically for holding audio data. First a little background: I have just purchased a 7200rpm 30gb Quantum Fireball drive to use as my audio data cd. I installed it as the second master on my Gigabyte board with Via...

I know everyone is probably too busy trying out SONAR to have time to answer questions but here goes :) I am running Guitar Studio 2 on the following: pIII 733 Gigabyte MotherBoard with Via chipset (GA-6VXE7+) 256MB RAM Soundblaster Live Platinum Cakewalk on Fujitsu 5400 20GB Audio data on...

Sorry, for some reason the text of my last post didn't show up. I'm on a different computer now so this should work. So here is my question. (with preamble) I am recording a demo for our band. We have tracked our parts and I have made a rough mix that I want to burn to CD. My mixdown has...

Hi this is my first post here..so here goes... I have GuitarStudio2 and have successfully recorded 16 tracks of audio data and have a mix in the Console View that I am happy with. The next step I want to do is to mix it out to a wav file. So here is what I did: I went to Tools - Export Audio...
