O.k. what the hell am I doing wrong here. I just upgraded my athlon Tbird 1.4g cpu and Iwill mobo to a 2.4g P4 and ASUS P4P800 Deluxe. I wiped my 2 Western Digital 40G hard drives and installed them Raid 0. I split the raid array into a 20 gig logical drive and a 60 gig one. I installed windows...

How important is buss speed in regard to performance, esp. in terms of plug-in FX? I'm going to upgrade my processor and mobo in very short order. They're a little shy of being able to handle as many plug-in FX as I want to use, at least for 24/96 stuff. I'm kind of sneaking in another AMD vs...

xxkHz vs xxkHz So when is somebody going to do a true scientific study on this? (or somthing close to it at least) I won't believe either way on this until I see the results of one. Human perception is HIGHLY suggestable. If you played two recordings for someone that were exactly the same but...

Windows no longer sees audio on my second hard drive after re-install I posted this on a couple of computer forums and have yet to get the answer to my troubles so I thought I'd throw this out to you guys cuz y'all are so nice. (It's related to computer recording in that if I don't get my...

Sorry if that's a missuse of the term "automatable effects" What I'm looking for is the ability to set effects to come in or out, or change certain parameters within a track by drawing envelopes or remembering my real-time adjustments. I've used N-track 2 point something for a while but to be...

Sorry this is kinda long but I'm trying to be thorough. Here's my setup: AardvarkQ10 Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 (soon to be Sonar 2.2XL) WindowsXP Athlon 1400 processor 512 Mb DDRam 2 Western Digital 40gig 7200rpm Hard drives IWILL motherboard with either AMI or ALI chipset (I don't know which is...

I was sure there would already be a thread on this but I didn't see one. I also found suprisingly little info on this on Cakewalk's site. What are the main differences between Pro Audio 9, Sonar 2.2, and Sonar 2.2XL? I have Pro Audio 9. It came with my soundcard. I haven't really used it yet...

Know of a good BBS for computer issues? I've found a few but they all suck. Ptron

Every time enter this BBS II get a windows pop-up message (I have XP) that says: "To view this page correctly you need to download and install the following components: Java Virtual Machine" Then there's a "download" and a "cancel" button. If I hit "download" It takes me to this message on...

I'm just about to crack open my computer to install my Aardvark Q10 and...well... what do I do with the ol' soundblaster? Sorry if this is a stupid question but do I toss it? Does it still need to be in there for the more mundane audio tasks like letting me know I've got mail? Ptron

I'm about to dive into the world of multi-track computer recording and it's got me wondering about the pros and cons of manipulting a signal before it's tracked. As in, before it gets to the D/A converters. I guess a HUGE factor would be the quality/features of your software vs. your outboard...

I'm getting ready to fork out more money than I can really afford on a multi-track soundcard. Probably an Aardvark Q10 w/Cakewalk. From reading other posts here, I gather everybody's mileage varies, but I'm hoping for a few quick guesses as to whether my computer can handle this bad boy...

How much should I ask for my Tascam 238 8-track cassette recorder? Just the deck. I don't have the remote or any thing.

Starting a survey here. What cables do you use (patch, insert, mic, etc.)? Why? If uncommon, where do you get them? I've been replacing my Hosa cables because they go shitty on me(have to wiggle the ends) constantly and drive me nuts. So far I've bought a bunch of 3ft and 1ft cables by American...

I was going to buy a new, high quality Y-cable to mix down from my board to my computer's soundcard. I could reach my computer with a 6-footer from where I normally setup but was thinking of getting a 20-footer so I could wheel my setup into my room. Would this make a big difference? I mean, if...

I plan on getting a minidisc recorder for recording band practice, live shows, impromptu jams, etc. Do the cheaper ones ($150-$200)have respectable A to D converters in them, at least on the order of a cheapo soundcard? I suppose they can't be total shit, but I'm curious to hear what you folks...

When trying to mix down to Sound Forge, the computer will hang up breifly causing glitches on my recording that sound like a scratched CD. You can hear the hang ups if you listen to the hard drive while recording. eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh...eh eh eh eh eh eh eh...eh eh eh, and so on...

I'm not really considering buying one. I'm just curious since I saw Musicians friend was selling them for $99

I'm having a dandy ol' time putting a bunch of old tapes onto my computer. These tapes suffer from muddines, noise, bad mixing, dropouts, and most annoying of all, that obnoxious high end swirling sound, most prevalent on cymbals. Where does that come from anyway? I'm interested in any...

I have a bunch of stereo mixdowns of 4track stuff. The orginal 4 trk tapes are long gone. The mixes are o.k. except the vocals are too loud. I've tried cutting some select frequencies on a 31 band EQ but it tends to make the background music sound funny. Are there any good tricks for this?
