I recorded an accoustic piano on an AW4416 at 24 bit, 44.1 Khz. Dumped it into Vegas using lightpipe. When recorded the piano waves were between -3 and -6 dbs (in the AW). In Vegas, they distort and read as clipping. The faders on the tracks (used 3 mikes, recorded as 3 mono tracks) and the...

Never thought I would give up my JV-1080, but the xv-5080 came long. A question... I seem to have trouble upgrading the operating system using the midi files. I have Sonar and I also downloaded a small utility midi player UpdSMF which is supposed to do the job as well. When I load the midi...

I have never used soundfonts, but there is a trial soundfont program in Sonar to play them. I have a lot of WAV files, many of which are individual drum hits and a lot of sampler data for Roland/Akai and Emu samplers. Is there a program available which will convert either wav data or sampler...

I was running Cake pro 9.0 and switched to Sonar. Now (without using soft synths or anything) I started getting drop outs. I am using the same settings in sonar as i was in cake. I had so few problems in cake, I left show the cpu usage and disk usage turned off. So.... 1) Is Sonar more of a...

I have wind 98se on my computer. As soon as my soundcard manufacture finishes the win 2000 WDM drivers, I'll upgrade so Sonar works better. I have heard (from cakewalk support) Cakewalk is not going to make Overture2 win 2000 compatible. 1) Will Overture still function in 2000? 2) Is/are...

I have Vegas 2.0d. I have 12 audio tracks on it. They are 3 takes of an accoustic piano song (2 tracks each left/right/floor mikes) and 3 more for the edited version. The tracks were recorded onto an AW4416 and dropped into Vegas via light pipe. They recorded no problem. They play back...

I've been using Cake 9.0 and Sonar came in, just then, the computer crashed (nothing to do with Sonar). So, I'm finally getting to play with it. To test it out, I opened one of the demo songs.... (that I have used in Cake) made the settings and...nothing. I open the song in Cake and it plays...

Okay, how can one delete the Live Synth Pro SE from the DXi bar in Sonar? There was no uninstall in the folder and it was not listed in Control Panel add/delete. I tried DX uninstaller and DX man. Looking around in Regedit but didn't see anything that looked like it. I'll bit, how do you...

I record accoustic piano and a few other things into an AW4416, then I take it back to the studio and want to dump it into the computer. Unfortunately, I have not been able to use the AW4416 as a MTC slave. Aside from the AW4416, I have a PC with a Dakota sound card (with ADAT opticals which...

I have the following "massive" collection of synths. QS8, VirusB, Yamaha SY77, JV1080 and Yamaha FS1RI believe the outputs on all of these is -10dBV, is that correct?

Here is the problem. I recently switched to an 8x8 midi switcher that does not have multi client drivers (it however is part of the soundcard--so everything now syncs well...hence the switch). So I now have 8 midi out and 8 mid in ports. Unfortunately, I can't use the sequencer and editor...

I am always wary about putting programs on my Windows system... too much experience in the old days when everything crashed. I have a new misi 8x8 which doesn't support multiple users on each port. I was thinking of a midi utility. I know (or have heard) the Hubis Looper is good, but that...

I'm messing around with a piece of audio. I count 36 beats. I paste the audio into Cake, but how do I figure the beats at 4/4 so it comes out to 9 measures (okay so it is medieval chant)? Does fit to time help? (I couldn't quite get it to work) If I just change tempo, it tries to stretch or...

I use cakewalk pro audio and have used Personal Composer for notation. PC is a solid program and due for update soon, but currently there are a few things that are hard to do in it. (copying notes, adding notes is not easy). I was going to add Overture... anybody using this and or...

I was thinking about getting the notation component/program Overture, anybody use it? How do you like it. I use Personal Composer and like it, but there are a few things that are kind of cumbersome (generally a strong program however). For quick sheets etc. what do you think of Overture?

I have Acid pro. It seems that whenever I open the help file, Acid tries to connect to the net. So far, the help file has had the information I required and there is no need to log me on. How (if I can) do I turn this annoying feature off? Thanks in advance.

I have several friends who recorded albums. They said that if you want to record someone else's song, they can't stop you as long as you pay the royalty... 5 or 10 cents per CD or whatever. Someone else told me that a friend of theirs had wanted to record a Disney tune and was refused...

In ACID pro, you have 2 choice for 24 bits...packed and unpacked. I have several other audio programs that use 24 bits, so try to record at that level (as opposed to 16 bit). What is the difference between packed and unpacked? (I couldn't seem to find it in the onboard help). Thanks in advance.

Okay, I finally got some (for me) good equipment and am trying to get it to work together. I have a stand alone DAW (I need portability) and a computer with a pretty decent sound card. My first puzzle has to do with sync. There are (at least) 3 ways to sync this system. I read about Midi...

I have Acid Style (came with a piece of hardware) and I wanted to check Acid out. But I can't seem to set the output devices. In the help file, it showed a little box to the left of the mute and solo buttons, but Acid Style has no such little box?? I have a Tango and Dakota system, and have...
