    Sonar crashed

    I was working on a session in Sonar 4 PE, only two tracks, and I think 6 effects plugins. Sonar suddenly just closed down. No warning, nothing weird going on at all before the crash. Has this happened to any of you? I guess I better start saving my sessions pretty frequently. I would hate...

    Anyone wasting time here?

    Ok, I've been hanging out here for damn near 9 months now. I have barely recorded any tracks that I put any effort into and keep finding myself reading over and over about the billions of cheap chinese mics that run through all of our heads on a daily basis. Anyone else in my boat? I keep...

    BFD drum opinions

    I did'nt get any response in the drum forum so I posted here. If you have used it or own it, what is your opinion? At the moment, I'm thinking it sounds like doo doo. Does anyone have any mixes using BFD that actually have a convincing acoustic drum line? I'm using a Edirol PCR-30 controller...

    homerecording bbs radio

    I think an online radio station playing exclusively homerecording bbs members tunes would be real cool. We could listen while skimming the bbs. What do you think? How could we make this happen?

    usb midi controller

    has anyone tried a usb powered controller keyboard? are there any issues with them? I need to get a low cost midi controller for drums, organs, synths. I will mostly use it for writing drum lines. I'm on a PC with Sonar 3. Any suggestions? I'm on a low budget.
