    Backup Question for Cake/SONAR People

    In Cakewalk Pro Audio 9, I back up all my compositions (which contain Audio & MIDI) by saving the .wrk file as a bundle (.bun) file; & then burning that file to CDR. During the process, Cake writes compressed mono & stereo audio data to the new file. I know it's a bit late for this question...

    Alienware / Digital Audio Machine?

    Took a look at customizing an Alienware PC as a digital audio (multitracking) machine. It's got: 400-Watt PS Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 2.4GHz 533MHz FSB w/ 512KB Cache ASUS P4PE - Intel 845PE Pentium 4 Motherboard DDR, w/ Hi-Performance Heatsink/CPU Cooling Fan 512MB Corsair XMS...

    Sound Forge 6.0 Metering?

    How is the metering in Sound Forge 6.0? I recently downloaded the demo version of WaveLab 4.0; & was really impressed with the Level/Pan Meter, which displays Peak & RMS values (as well as Pan values.) If SF 6.0 metering is this good, I would probably do the upgrade (since I like the waveform...

    Cakewalk FX-1 Limiter / Maximizer?

    (Sorry to post twice in the same board), but I need to add some sort of sonic maximizer to my software arsenal; & was looking at Cakewalk's FX-1 Dynamics Processor. Rip Rowan (over at ProRec), put together a compressor shoot-out a while back, in which he claimed that the limiter in the Cake FX-1...

    SONAR / No Audio View

    Will be moving up to SONAR from Cakewalk Pro Audio 9; but one thing scares me. I do a lot of work in Audio View. My normal work method is to split the very best samples from an audio track into several clips across multiple audio tracks for precise positioning (this method is called "comping"...

    WaveLab / Sonic Maximizer?

    Does WaveLab have a sonic maximizer? &; if so, how does it stack up to, say for example, "L1" from Waves or "WaveHammer" from Sonic Foundry? Thanks in advance, mark4man

    Audio CD Burners vs. Data CD Burners?

    I recently read a white paper on the web that claimed: when burning audio tracks to CD for eventual mastering, use a model recommended specifically for audio recording. The informational claimed that audio requires a slightly deeper groove-cut; & that using a data drive to write audio can...

    "Clip Audio Mix Upon Overflow"

    In Cakewalk (or in Sonar, for that matter), how does the advanced option "Clip Audio Mix Upon Overflow" work? A) Is it esentially a limiter? How is the signal processed in order to prevent clipping? B) Is it active for all audio playback, or does it only work during mixdown/bounce (or record)...

    GINA24 - DA Conversion (Disribution)

    For GINA 24, Is there a way to route various track outputs from my audio multitracking software, so that different tracks utilize different outputs; & hence different DA Converters? (I'm not asking this relative to the front end...I understand track output assignment. I'm asking relative to...

    Is WaveLab The Best Audio Editor

    Is Wavelab the best Wav Editor? If so, why?I have been using Sound Forge for a little while, but recently read an article that focused on the 3D waveform representation (frequency analysis function) found in Wavelab. This approach makes more sense to me, in terms of identifying frequency bands...

    CD Architect: Red Book Audio vs. Burn Speed?

    About half way through production of a compilation CD, I am wondering...what is the advantage to using CD Architect for mastering my .wav files prior to replication? (meaning on a comparative basis...such as; CD Architect vs. Nero or Roxio.) I am using SoundForge at present; & aside from PQ...

    Digital Cable / RG 59?

    What is the basic difference between a standard RCA patch cable; & an S/P DIF or "digital" patch cable? About 2 years ago, I had asked for; and purchased, a "digital" cable. At the time, I needed it to run between "digital out "on my old SoundBlaster card; & "digital in" on my SoundWorks PC...

    0dBFS (Sound Forge 4.5)

    What exactly is the voltage representation for Full Scale in Sound Forge 4.5? I routinely mixdown several audio tracks (in Cakewalk Pro Audio 9) to .wav format. When I open those .wav files in Sound Forge 4.5, peaks are sawed off at several points in the song...yet there is no clipping...

    L2 Cache & Front Side Bus

    Thinking about upgrading to a new Dell for Digital Audio work (PC based multitrack recording, sampling & sequencing.) The machine I looked at sports a 2GB P4 CPU, with I believe a 512KB L2 Cache; & a 533MHz Front Side Bus on the motherboard. My questions are: 1) What is the Level 2 Cache (how...

    VF-16 ADAT Transfer / No Gain

    Why is there no gain control with an ADAT transfer? Is it because it is pure digital signal, w/ no conversion? I wanted to utilize ADAT Optical to transfer a half-dozen synchronized tracks from my VF-16, to my sampling & sequencing software (Cakewalk.) I am able to do this with a recently...

    Double-Click File Open Options

    I know this inquiry is not audio related, but I thought someone here might know the answer. In CWPA9, I double-click on various folders; & they open. When I double-click on a particular .wrk file, I get the option to delete the file. How can I set my file preferences so that double-clicking...

    Help! Cannot Record Audio Internally Using GINA 24

    People, I am running Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 on a Dell 700 w/ Win 98 SE. My PCI Audio Interface is Echo Audio's GINA 24. I've had the system about 4 months; & so far have only used it to record audio or MIDI from an external source. It performed well & sounds tremendous. Today I tried to re-record...

    Waveform Display Loss

    In Cakewalk Pro Audio 9, I normally open 3 or 4 tracks in Audio View (for organized editing purposes.) Lately, the waveforms are disappearing from the audio clips, with only the zero axis remaining. The sound is fine, but the waveform is lost from view. If I save, exit the app; & re-open the...

    Will JV-1010 Play Sounds From An External Device?

    Can someone tell if Cakewalk (or any other software MIDI sequencer's) Instrument Definitions from various manufacturers & their devices will play on the JV-1010? I hooked up a Korg 01/W (MIDI Out) to my computer (MIDI In), imported the Korg 01/W Instrument Definitions Bank into my project; &...
