Is anyone using Sonar 64bit? I just got a new box, and upgraded myself to the 64bit world. Sonar is having all sorts of issues. Clicking and popping on tracks that never used to click or pop. Crashes, etc. My Tascam 1641 with 64bit drivers is useless, I can't get anything to record properly. I...

I am putting together a basic studio in my house for recording, and fun. Having kids, I can't make much noise after 9pm, so an acoustic drum kit is out. I've listened to a few electronic kits, and they all sound...electronic. In playing with Sonar, I've had toyed with the Session Drummer a bit...

This may be a case of being too pedantic, but why not? Do you use a USB mouse or a PS2 mouse? I happen to be looking at the manual for my Audio Interface, and they recommend not having your mouse and AI, on the same bus so as to avoid the mouse causing a hiccup. I am setting up a new machine...

When you mix your drums, do you mix from the drummer's perspective, IE the hat in the left channel, or from the audience's perspective, IE the hat in the right channel?

Anyone read any recording or home recording magazines that you'd recommend?

Hey all...I am looking to dive in a bit deeper into mixing, but I don't have a lot of material to work with for practice. If you have some tracks you'd like mixed, and don't mind sharing with a newb to take a stab at it, I'd like to give it a try. Please drop me a note at...

Hey guys...I just had to share...my band recently put together our first "professional" music video. The track used was one of the first tracks I ever recorded, and mixed all with your help. I had to share it, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ru84ys7_zWw. I think the video came out great, I...

I was just thinking...does anyone have insight as to how Peter Gabriel gets "that sound" on his vocal tracks? I can't describe it, but if you listen to his music, I think you will understand what I mean. I would love to know what effects he is layering to do that.

Hey, sorry for the x-post, but I am thinking not a lot of people go into the promo forum, so I thought I'd post a link in a few different spots to be sure more people see this. I have been reading/posting here for awhile, so I thought I'd share an idea with everyone. I have my band's music up...

Hey guys/gals, I had a thought today. I've been uploading my band's music to last.fm in an effort to get it out there, http://www.last.fm/music/SilentJ. The biggest problem with last.fm, is that until you get some exposure, you don't get into rotation, and its hard to get exposure without being...

A few months back I posted a tune, and it was pretty unanimous that I needed to retrack the drums. I did so, and added a bass line. Here is a close to finished mix. This is a headphone mix, so I know I'll need to do a bit of tweaking, but I think its close. Feedback, comments, criticisms are...

Just listening to this on Pandora right now, so maybe this is an Internets thing, but in hearing this tune...it seems massively compressed to me...being a Newb...I thought this another great opportunity to post over here, and see what others thought about this mix. I like the song, and I like...

I am working on a cover of a song with some time signature changes, and some meter changes it appears. Has anyone used the Audiosnap feature in Sonar on an MP3, to get a base track laid down?

I've got a PC that has a AMD Sempron 3200+ running at 1.79GHz, with 2GB of RAM. I've run the thesycon.de latency checker and it has never gone above 500. Latency is nil. However, when I run Sonar...even if I have one solo'ed track, no vst's...Sonar instantly chokes the CPU to 100%, and the...

Last week I worked with our sound guy to re-track the drums on a few songs. We mic'ed everything nicely, each drum into its own track. The results are immense. But now my next question...when the drummer is hammering out a groove there is bleed on the tom mics, for example. Should I cut out...

Just heard this on pandora.com, and thought I'd post. I love this song, and before my interested-in-mixing-and-now-I-can't-hear-songs-because-I-hear-the-mix days, I loved the over song quality. Today when I listened, I notice that it seems like this track is very strictly panned...the acoustic...

In the past when I've recorded it was with my band. One of us would lay a scratch track down, and then we'd each lay our part in as time permitted. These days time doesn't permit very well, so I want to start going all Matthew Sweet on my DAW, and do some recording myself. I have a bunch of...

I've seen similar discussions, but no clear answer to this question explicitly so I am starting a new thread. I moved Cakewalk to a new PC that has integrated sound on the mobo. Of course the PC can't handle it. So I was going to buy a sound card, but then considered...should I just skip the...

I've been listening to some of the stuff that Trina Shoemaker did with Sheryl Crow lately. Good stuff. Simple, concise, nothing fancy. Just nice and clean. Any Trina fans out there?
