    Sound card specs

    I am looking at getting another soundcard. I am trying to make an informed decision. When I read the specs I want to know what this stuff means... I'm not looking at either of these soundcards at all. Soundcard A Signal-to-Noise Ratio with AES17 filter (A-Weighted) Stereo Output 106dB (2v...

    Trying to record vocals

    Ok, I am at a loss. This is what I have: Behringer mx802a mixer Soundblaster Live! Platinum and Live Drive Sonar 2 What I want to do is record a vocal track. Sounds easy, but for whatever reason I can't seem to do it. I want to have my background tracks playback and record through my mic...

    Just a question...

    I'm just curious. I am of the understanding that mastering is finalizing a song. Now, do you do fade outs in the mixing process or do you do that during mastering? This is not start a war on whether or not you can DIY. I know I obviously can. Well, I wouldn't say what I do is even mixing...

    Sonar problems

    I starting experimenting with the pattern brush today in Sonar. It's a pretty neat little to for laying down some drums quickly. Here's my system specs: ASUS A7V333 mobo AMD Athlon 1800XP WinXP 256MB DDR 2700 333Mhz ram SoundBlaster Live! Platinum Basically, when I use the pattern brush...

    Latency... again

    Why is it when I use my softsynth as a stand alone I can get very low latency (I can set it for 1ms), but when I try as a plug-in in Sonar2 I can't get no lower than 10ms? I figure I am using the same drivers and soundcard, so what's the deal? Equipment: ASUS A7V333 mobo AMD Athlon 1800XP...

    Sound Editors and Librarians

    Just out of curiosity, what (if any) sound editors/librarians do you guys use? And if you do use a sound editor/librarian what multitracking software do you use? I am currently using Sonar 2.1 and QS SoundEditor Pro for my Alesis QS6.1. Thanks for your input... Vice

    Qs6.1

    Does anyone know of a good editor/librarian for this board? Also could it be used inside of another program such as Sonar? I'm currently using QS SoundEditor. It cost me only $35 US. It's not too bad, but I want something that I can use from within Sonar... is that even possible. But it is...

    Latency and SoundBlaster and DXi Synths

    Ok, I have intended to post a question about how I couldn't get the latency below 10ms and even then I couldn't do anything worthwile with 10ms. After doing a search, I think I have come to these determinations. 1) I will never achieve latency lower than 10ms with my soundblaster. 2) I do...

    Where did the staff view go?

    Hey guys! I have been away from the board for a couple months, but I have returned. How has everyone been doing? I hope all is well. Anyway, to get to the point. I have finally gotten around to setting up some default views and layouts in Sonar and tried it out this morning. I have the...

    Meters

    Meters and things... 1) If I'm not mistaken the playback/record meters can not be resized. I happen to love the meters in Sound Forge. They are really big plus they give a number readout of the max peak opposed to the little line that you have to guestimate with in Sonar. Does anyone know...

    Not a major problem, but...

    A little background info... I have a K62 AMD 500mHz computer with 256mb of RAM. I running WinME. I am using Sonar 2 primarily and SoundForge for the finishing touches. Ok, now that's out of the way... I have noticed that when I open up a project not all the toolbar buttons show up...

    Revalver Questions?

    I'm using Sonar 2. Ok, I have been trying to get this confounded DXi to work. I have (or at least I think I have) followed the instructions according to the manual, but I get no sound when using this plug-in. I went through the steps outlined in the manual (pgs 354-361) and got other DXi's to...

    Plug-n Question

    Does anyone know of a good plug-in for wah-wah sound? Or does anyone know how to possibly manipulate the plugs that came with Sonar to create that sound? I have been experimenting with the Flanger and Chorus in Sonar, but I can't get it to do what I want... I might be way off, though Thanks...

    Behringer Virutalizer Pro DSP 1000P or 1024P

    If you happen to own one of these check out this excel spreadsheet. Chart . If you use it this chart is for the echo and delay settings. I got tired of having to stop and do the math to figure out what the milliseconds my delays were set at using the the numbers 0 - 63. I do believe...

    Install issues

    By chance yesterday, I had the opportunity to stop by Mars Music. I don't go too often cause I am trying to control the urge to buy gear until after I upgrade my computer... Anyway, while I was in the store tinkering on the keyboards and things I happened upon a cakewalk rep. I wish I would...

    Destructive and non-destructive edits...

    Ok, I know this sounds stupid, but I guess I never really understood this, but what is the difference between destructive and non-destructive edits. Is one worse than the other? I am assuming that I probably do a combination of both. I'm thinking that because I don't have a powerhouse system...
