You know...for a while...I've been asking for (& receiving) help on questions related to: well...basically, trying to achieve a pro sound on a (my) project studio budget. I've got the ear; So why shouldn't I begin to move up; & start to acquire some quality gear? How does this sound for a...

People, Have been metering all my final mix bounces in WaveLab to get the peaks & RMS just right before sending a burn off to the CD replication house. Now I find out that WaveLab's "VU Meter", as part of their Level/Pan Meter (which measures the RMS), doesn't conform to AES-17 specs; & is in...

People, How do I get the VST plug-ins from my wave editor (WaveLab) to work in SONAR XL 2.2? WaveLab permits you to use all the DirectX plugs available for SONAR, but I can't seem to find the VST's from WaveLab in SONAR (even with the plug-in manager.) Is this a registry thing? Or an AUD.INI...

Crowd, Sorry if this post overlaps others which are similar, but I need some feedback from the mastering brains on the purchase of a hardware limiter (or compressor/limiter) for my studio. For me, it's now down to a choice between a plug-in/dsp suite (probably UAD-1 Studio) or one of the...

People, Was wondering if any members had any experience with A.R.T.'s TPS II. I need pro quality mic preamplification, but also pro quality line level preamp capabilities, as well (for a Roland JV-1010 synth module.) Had previously picked up a Focusrite Twin Trak Pro channel strip, which was...

People, I know we've visited this subject before, but I've added a new piece of equipment to my project studio (a Focusrite Twin Trak Pro channel strip)...& was hoping it might make a difference in the S/N ratio in the recorded signal. When I record my Roland synth module, I'm real lucky if...

Well...here's an interesting phenomenon. Ever since I've been recording @24-Bit/96Khz (&...I'm not certain that's related, but...), whenever I record an FX loop track with my effects processor (Lexicon MPX-500)... ...the timeline location of the wet track appears ahead of the source track...by...

Fellow Audiophiles, For the life of me...I should be able to figure this out...but I think I'm having a major brain warp tonite. For two years, I never had to worry about interfacing my Lexicon (MPX-500) Effects Processor with my AI (LAYLA 24/96) & SONAR XL, presumably because I was working in...

People, [Didn't know where else to place this post...so I put it here, since it relates to my DAW (SONAR XL 2.2)]: I am trying to balance audio file location (on the HD) as it relates to efficiency of operation, vs. the continual relocation/rewriting of those files. I understand that audio...

People, Picked up a Western Digital External HD for transferring Project & Bundle files (SONAR XL) between our band's two project studios (since most of our projects are well over CD-R capacity.) The internal secondary drives in the PC's in our studios (which are used exclusively for audio...

Crew, Does SONAR XL have a problem with eating MIDI files? I had a project or two that contained numerous MIDI tracks; & wanted to archive just the MIDI data, so as to have it available for collaboration w/ one of our band members. I moved the MIDI tracks to a new project file; & saved it...

Crew, Just purchased a nice quality Channel Strip & Mic (Focusrite TwinTrak Pro & Groove Tubes GT55.) Broke them out for the first time yesterday for a vocal session at a friends project studio...& I noticed that, even though @ normal gain & impedance settings, everything sounded very, very...

People, Perusing my latest edition of PC Magazine (August), I came across an article entitled: "A New Era For Desktops." The article discusses the new Intel 64-Bit ready Chipset releases (915 & 925); and the various innovative technological improvements associated with the new bus, storage...

Anyone... I need to know if the outputs on the JV-1010 are balanced or unbalanced; & I need to know what the Output Impedance is. I just purchased a great quality stereo Channel Strip (which can dial in Input Impedance); & I want to be able to interface the synth with the preamps correctly...

What does it mean when a (badly) corrupted SONAR XL Project File can seemingly be repaired by opening up other uncorrupted files first? I have a Project that started to go bad about two weeks ago (& I posted here in the BBS in hopes of a fix...

In SONAR XL...during the normal copying & pasting of audio clips, I've noticed that the left border of the pasted clip doesn't always align with the needle. 1) I'll zoom in & align the needle directly on top of the left border of the source clip... 2) copy the clip... 3) move to where I want...

People, Was looking to add a couple of Rode mics (NT-1 or 1A) to my project studio; & then began to think about also moving up in preamp quality, as well. In looking over two choices, the Focusrite ISA220 & the PreSonus MP20, the Noise Floor specs are a bit tough to compare, for me. The MP20...

People, Lately, SONAR XL (2.2) is bogging down with one particular project. The problem begins when I attempt to open it, which is unusually slow; & the progress bar stops at a few different points (40%, 63%, etc.) While opening the project in question, I kick on XP's System Monitor (with...

People, Me?...I'm always looking for a way to trick the digital gods...& grab more gain during pre-mastering (so as to achieve that illusive "industry standard.") So...In looking at various CD burners to purchase (my replication service actually prefers pro quality CD-R to Exabyte tape)...

OK... This makes no sense to me. I'm bustin' the ceiling with my Effects Processor's minimal settings I'm running the Lexicon MPX-500 w/ an Echo Audio LAYLA 24/96 PC AI. I'm looping my dry, prerecorded signal out of the Layla's 3/4 Outs...in & out of the Lexicon; & back into the Laya's 3/4...
