    How to insert Alien Connection ReValver?

    I couldn't get the Revalver to work. First, I inserted a new Audio track. Audio IN worked fine. But when I inserted the revalver in Fx bin the audio signal disappeared. What am I missing? Thanks.

    BBE and Wavelab users

    I know not everyone is into laudness enhancing but let me ask you anyway. If you have Steinberg's Wavelab do you still need BBE? Wavelab's VstDynamics and Multiband Compressor are awesome. Can BBE deliver better result than those? I'm asking this here because BBE plugin demo is not available...

    Vocal and instrument not at center

    My vocal track is supposed to be at the center. My pan setting shows it so. But I'm hearing it from left of the center. It's not just vocals as some of the instruments (bass, bass drum) are with the vocal. I have been suspecting that but it became crytal clear after I listened to a couple of...

    Memory upgrade doesn't improve performance

    I upgraded from 256MB to 512MB but I'm still getting dropouts. Before I even play the song in Sonar the CPU is about 50% busy. I've tried several latency settings but it doesn't help... I have to reduce anumber of softsynth used from about 6 to 2 and use eq inserts less. Is this the way to go...

    Guitar pitch shifting or my hearing problem???

    When I play back a recorded guitar track I hear it to be a little out of tune. Even if I record only one string (say #1 string) I still hear it that way. It happens only on playback. I don't know why. I have no problem hearing correctly when I record keyboard. The string cannot be out of tune...

    Using a Delay in Sonar

    I find it challanging to use a delay effect. Someone (probably Sonusman) wrote about adding a delay so and so seconds for a vocal or acoustic guitar to make it thick. What particular delay plugins (since Sonar has many and I've downloaded a couple of them too) would be easy to learn and operate...

    Using multiple mics for vocal tracking

    Sorry I've tried search engine first but couldn't find any on this. If this has been discussed before I apologize. Someone here once mentioned about tracking main vocal, then another vocal track to spread left and right with a slight delay adjustment to make the vocal full. My question is will...

    OK in car but not on PC speaker- mixing ideas needed

    I just finished mastering my first song. When I play it in my car it soundd awesome. It's kinda like FM radio music with hot bass and drums, etc. And high ends too. I use quite a few CDs to compare and mine is, in my opinion :D , comparable to some very good "quality" CDs. However, when I try...

    How hot should the track be recorded?

    The signal from Q10 is very hot. I'm happy with it. I recorded vocals at almost red. When I played it back it's OK by itself. When I played with other tracks though I got an unpleasant result with some type of distortions. So how hot should the track be recorded? Or how do you handle a...

    Loading/Saving take longer in Sonar

    As I record more and more audio tracks it takes Sonar to load or save the file. Would installing more RAM help a bit? Currently I have 256K. I think I can go up to 512K. Or is it just a harddrive thing that can't be avoided and has nothing to do with RAM? It sure is fun inserting new audio...

    Mastering Sonar tracks in Wavelab then to CD

    I got a dozen of tracks (one song) in Sonar that I would like to master using Wavelab. Reading Wavelab manual doesn't help at all. I guess they don't have Sonar users in mind when they wrote the book :-) I would really appreciate if you could show me what steps I need to take. Doesn't have to be...

    Fellow Q10 users - Sonar can't see

    Hello fellow Q10 users, I just bought Aardvark Q10 and tested with Sonar 2.0. I was able to record using audio ins of Q10 but could not assign audio out for playback because Sonar did not see any. (Sonar sees the ins but not the outs, weird) I was able to play the recorded audio tracks...

    What can Wavelab do?

    Now that I know Wavelab is a popular tool for mastering I'm curious as to what it can do. $400 is quite an investment that I didn't foresee, a short list of what you can do with that software would be very helpful. I assume volume maximizer would be in it...Online music stores are not very...

    Help me burn my CD

    I'm in a process of burning my audios to CD. In Sornar I did File/Export Audio and give my file a name. From there I guess I could burn the wave file onto CD using CD burner that comes with XP (I think). When I play the wave file, I think I kinda lost the volume though. Why!!!! 1. But isn't...

    MIDI and Audio tracks not together!!!

    At first I recorded MIDI rhythm, piano, and bass. Than vocal... Several audio tracks later I tried to add MIDI track (strings). When I played back, my new string track and previous tracks aren't together. Strings track came out ahead of the rest. What's going on? Since I'm working for someone...

    Sonar lockup (Release key)?

    If you accidentally select an incorrect clock source but you don't have the right source Sonar would just hang there waiting for the right signal. How do you wake up sonar and go back to your project without having to logout (in XP) by doing alt-ctrl+del? Thanks.

    livesynthpro and memory usage

    I'm experiencing Dropouts in sonar... I wonder if that's because I saved a bunch of my own presets in livesynthpro. Anybody know if saving that way use up RAM memory? I don't want to delete the list just yet before I get the answer since I spent time typing them up one by one.

    Using pre-amp from AW2816 for computer recording

    I thought I need to buy a preamp but it just occur to me that my recorder AW2816 has a preamp built-in with a phantam power so my question is this. How can I utilize my 2816's preamp to record a vocal on my computer? I need 2816 for play back too so I cannot use the audio out. (I know I'm...

    Recording guitar -- the right way

    I'm a sonar user and I try to record my bass sound via a sound card. Now I could hear what I just recorded. But the audio signal (or what is it called?) simply isn't there. It shows as a straight line so I cannot edit like I'm use to with vocal signals. I use art-tube to record vocals that...
