I just installed my new FireWire 410 on my laptop and am having trouble. I use Sonar 4 PE and am finding that in order to use the headphone monitoring on the 410 I have to have the echo turned on which gives me huge latency. When I open the control panel for the interface it will not let me...

I have had this card for a while, and every once in a while it just refuses to play any audio from windows. Usually it is after a reboot but not always. I have tried changing the inputs outputs and every thing i can possibly think of, but there meter in the WAVE strip is lifeless. PLEASE HELP...

I was wondering what is a good range for speakers being used as monitors? also what is a good SNR. I would prefer 3 ranges as follows..... 1) this range is GREAT 2) this range is budget but acceptable for cost restraints. 3)avoid anything lower than this if someone could list these three...

I just recently started having a problem with sonar4. everything has this warbly tremelo effect on playback. I thought it was just MIDI at first, but it turns out even if i import an mp3 into sonar it plays back with the same problem. this is ONLY in sonar and everything else on my computer...

i have been trying to play midi through cakewalk sonar producer and i get this wierd warbly effect..almost like a tremelo effect. I am using an m-audio 49 and when i first started using it i had no problems. If i play the keyboard through the music teacher software that came with it, it plays...

I am runing a Behringer mixer to a emu 0404 soundcard. I have two questions. 1- which outputs should i run to the card. the mixer has control room out, ALT 3-4 out and balanced XLR main outs. In addition it has the L-R AUX sends. 2- I am going to run back to the tape input for monitoring...

I just recently bought a E-MU 0404 and installed it.for some odd reason when i try to record in Sonar to test it out...all i get is a constantly clipped meter and noise. However, the signal plays fine through the E-MU's DSP program (the most useless and terribly designed piece of software). Is...

I had a quick question. I am going to be recording using a Peavey mixer (PV8) running into an E-MU 0404 SoundCard. I was wondering how to set it up so that i can directly monitor playback WHILE recording the new track. Would i run it back to the mixer as if it was the returns? or as if it was...

I was wondering how to get that classic U2 guitar sound like on "with or without you" is it simply a volume pedal with some echo on it? it has a swell effect. ALSO...i notice a similar effect often used by Tim Reynolds when playing acoustic guitar with Dave Matthews. The best example is on the...

I was just recently watching " David Gilmour Live in Concert" a new DVD of him playing stripped down versions of his songs. In the very beginning he is playing some lead acoustic using some sort of expression pedal. when he rakes a chord and presses the pedal a synthetic note/chord? rings out...

is PCI based recording faster than firewire and USB?

I am recording using Sonar 4PE and a Tascam US-122. I can directly monitor on the tascam, but i just started having trouble. I can hear the mic level and me singing as i record, but when it plays back i get all of this wierd staticy metallic robot sounding crap. However if i plug into my...

I had pretty elaborate question and much of the answer is based on personal preference and taste but i thought it would be a good reference for all of the newbies on here to get some ideas or pointers. on a basic 4-piece band rock song ( rhythm guitar lead guitar drums, bass and vocals.) how...

i am trying to record into cubase LE using my tascam us-122. it does not record anything though when i click record. the us-122 works fine with adobe audition once i set it as the recording device but i can not seem to find anything like that on cubase. any advice on getting it up and running?

I am fond of adobe audition because of its ease of use and features. However i was wondering which program (OTHER than protools) would be best for me to install on my computer and learn to use? i have adobe audition and cubase LE. Cubase LE seems too complex and doesnt seem to want to record a...

I had a question about advice on recording my acoustic. i usually use the onboard fishman pickups instead of micing the guitar, but i noticed that on certain songs when i finger pick and slap the guitar for rhythm i get full clipping on the slaps. I dont want to scoop out the lows on my guitar...

can anyone recommend from experience, the best and cheapest mic tube preamp (even if i have to change out the tube to achieve best value). I know ART and berhinger make two models that are in the $50-$100 range. I would also prefer one with atleast some sort of limitor/compressor built in. So...

when i record at 96khz i get this wierd "warbly" sorta noise over the track. my soundcard supports 96khz....do i have to set something differently? thanks for the help. I have a soundblaster Live-24 soundcard and record with a tascam US-122 interface.

i need help. i just installed a tascam us-122. two questions. how do i monitor BOTH the recording AND the playback at one time? seems my computer plays the playback but the inputs can only be heard by the direct monitoring on the interface itself. SECOND- why does it ONLY record in mono? i am...
