Hi there, looking for some help after a week of troubleshooting myself. I recently reformatted my computer, and after a fresh install of Ableton 8.2.2 none of my projects will playback without drastic lag, clicking/distortion noises, and dropouts. I'm completely puzzled. My computer ran as...

I recently tried to export a song, and at the 35% mark I got the error "Mixdown aborted. Ran out of memory". Anyone know how or why this is happening? The song is pretty big, but up until recently I haven't had a problem exporting it. Just added a track and some new envelopes and now it...

Hey guys, I did my bands album in my room and wanted to get some feedback on what you guys think. For the most part I'm happy with the sound, but it would be nice to get some advice on how to make better recordings in the future. Well here are some select tracks...

While I was working on a song for this album I'm working on (with Sonar 4), my computer randomly decided to restart. Not a hugely uncommon thing for my computer to do, but this time was a big difference. When I tried to open up the song I was working on, I got this error: The file you are...

So I'm recording a bunch of songs from my band that will eventually end up as a full length, and would like some feedback on them so far as far as mixing goes. The sound I'm going for is pretty vintage like the Beatles, fused with futuristic sounds of modern bands like Broken Social Scene...

I lost the little bar at the top, now when I click navigator it comes up full screen. How do I get the little bar back??

I've got a question thats been on my mind for a while now in regards to getting my songs "louder". I'm currently doing a full length for my band using Sonar and whenever I mix down the files, they seem to be really quiet. For instance, if you put it in Winamp, and listen to it, then listen to...

Yesterday I recording drums for my band using 6 mics into my mixer, mixing it into the computer as 2 stereo tracks. Im generally used to do giving each mic its own track, and have all my default levels and whatnot set, but not sure what to do with this. Can anyone give me some basic...

I just got SONAR 4 Producer Edition, and I love it except for one detail thats driving me insane. Whenever I hit the spacebar to stop the song I get sent back to wherever this bright green marker is. How do I get it so that the marker stops and stays wherever I hit the spacebar??!

I'm having a lot of trouble getting a really solid kick drum sound. I'm using a AKG D122 going into mixer into delta 1010 into sonar. I think my main problem is placement, because the kick sounds great to my ear. I took off the far head and removed the pillow I had inside and got little...

I'm not sure if anyone is familiar with this band, but trying to emulate and capture the pure emotional energy in their album Funeral. I know it mostly has to do with some kind of reverb, and maybe an amp sim? But when I twist the knobs around I really have no idea what I'm doing. If anyone...

I'm going to be recording my friend on acoustic, and was wondering if theres any cheap things I can do to improve room sound. Anything along the lines of blankets, sleeping bags, etc. Its a small almost square room. Thanks.

So I'm not quite sure which monitors would be best for using this. Powered? Unpowered? Looking to get a pair for under 200, is that possible? thanks!

Hey guys, I've been recording on my computer for a few months and am working on tracks for my band. Give a listen and some advice, thanks! www.angelfire.com/comics/ryanrules/ www.angelfire.com/creep/ryanrules2/ www.angelfire.com/cantina/ryanrules3/ just click the link and then the link to the...

Hi, not too sure if this is the right forum but have a question about getting 2 tracks on a CD to blend. I'm trying to get feedback from the end of the first song to be the beginning of the next one. I know we've all heard it (think Pink Floyd). I copied the sample in Sonar and got it to sound...

hey, my bands been working on some songs, and now its finnally time for the dreaded vocals. I have a SM57, and a B1 and am curious the best way to use one of the these. The style is pretty laid back, low range. Similar to Pavement, Modest Mouse. No intense screaming or anything. Also, what...

I'm thinking of grabbing a Nady DM-90 to record bass amps and bass drum. Any oppinions? Something better in the same price range?

I am thinking about getting one or two of these for vocals, acoustic, and drum overhead. Is this a good idea? The main reason I picked it is because of budget. What do you think? Are there any better ones at around the same price?

Ok, so I've had my Delta1010 for a while now, and still have a few questions about maxing its potential. When I record I am usually doing one track at a time, and using a cheap 2 input 1 output mixer that I allready had. Now I want to try recording 4 or 5 tracks at a time (drums) and am curious...

Soo I'm looking to get an effect on vocals similar to the stuff the guy from The Strokes has. I've tried amp sims and got some cool sounds, but just looking for some more tips if anyone has any. thanks.
