Ok, I just got finished up mixing down all my tracks in Sonar down to one stereo track. I am checking for clipping on the meters, everything looks good. I import the wav and drop it in Sound Forge to do some final "editing". I press play and now my track is clipping all over the place. Why...

Ok, This is for you guys to dissect. I know there's some lead in time on this song, so, please be patient... This is hopefully what I think is a result of reading what you guys say about recording. Hopefully I have learned something. Here's the mp3 . Thanks in advance for your input. Vice

In my search for the ever stable recording DAW I was wondering if anyone was using a Linux/Unix platform to record on? If so, please give details. I'm just curious... Vice

Ok... When you buy a piece of rack gear (specifically the RNC) how do you mount it? It's 1/3r space piece of equipment. Does it come with a face plate that allows it to sit in rack space or what? Vice

Misterqcue, Roel (or anybody who knows) I am still haven't gotten the vocoder effect to work. I'm trying to use the vocoder with vocals. I need some ideas on how to get this to work. I'm about ready to give up. If anyone has gotten this function to work, please tell me what you used as a...

Sonar's meters have options for peak, RMS, and peak and RMS. When I track I try to record at the hottest level (before 0dB). I have never really paid attention to what the meters were set to monitor. Now, I'm asking... 1) What is the difference between the information the RMS and peak meters...

Help for those who use program drums What a godsend! I opened up the ol' email and had a new tech tip from cakewalk on drum programming. For those who are trying to get a little more realism from their drum patterns check out this link... drum programming tip Vice

Ok, I know this might be stupid, but what is the "trim" used for in Sonar (or mixers in general)? Or what can it be used for might be a better question. I never have used it. Is like to fine tune the volume or what? Vice

Ok, this might be dumb but... When I record midi tracks and have them panned that's how they should be recorded, correct. When I get ready to record them as an audio file is that information retained. It seems to drop everything right back in the center. I am able to pan on the audio track...

Ok, I just picked up a sound level meter from Radio Shack. I have a question on how it would best for me to use it. Would it be correct to do this: Sitt where I am facing my speakers (I don't have monitors yet - still working on that) and turn the volume up on a cd of commercially mixed music...

Is compression the only way to get the kick and snare to have that real in-your-back kick? Whenever I record the drums the levels are all right under clipping. I'v tried and tried (and I'm still trying) eq. But, my drums just don't sound like what I'm after. I'm not recording a live set. I...

Alright, I have been saving my pennies and I am thinking I am ready to purchase a new DAW. I have received a few recommendations, but I would like a little more specifics. I am curious as to what types of things should I be looking for in a motherboard/cpu combo? I want to be able to record...

I am getting ready to purchase monitors along with a new DAW. I do have a question about the monitors, though: What is the difference between active vs. passive and non bi-amped or tri-amped vs.bi-amped vs. tri-amped? Vice

Is there a plug-in that's allows you to put intstruments in a room where you want them? Meaning this: I say that I want my room to be a concert hall of these dimensions _length x_width x_ceiling height. Or has a stage and lets you set up the stage the way you want. So, you can put the drums...

What is the importance of having a audio interface or mixer with Switchable +4 dBu/-10dBv? Are they used for recording different inputs (ie. line or mic)? Vice

When using cards like the C-Port, Echo, Aardvark, etc... are you locked into using only the plug-ins from your software? If you have some outboard effects unit is it advisable to use those with these tyes of units or do I still need to go through a mixer. I noticed I don't see any sends/rtns...
