    Sennheiser Blackfire 509 Qs...

    Thanks Adam :) I dunno, but here's some pic... I heard it's great instrument mic. I'm thinking as alternative to SM57 I had. Do I need phantom to use it, or...? ;) Jaymz

    how do I get REVERB while recording Sonar 4 pro

    Open Sonar, on the help menu, search for "Input monitoring" (not "Input Echo"). It explains pretty well there :) ;) Jaymz

    Sennheiser Blackfire 509 Qs...

    Recently I got this mic from a friend who closed his studio and moved. He alows me to test it for about a week before I buy it. It's Sennheiser Blackfire 509. He told me he never made a good use of it because it sounds weak. Tought he never use phantom power on it (cause he doesn't have one) he...

    Whoa! I rant in another thread about someone still using P3, now we have P2 :D Sorry, but I think you need to upgrade your comp. It's not that it's bad, but... it's... just... bad, you know... :) ;) Jaymz

    [First Question...Be Gentle] Cubase SX and NI Guitar Rig

    Well, usualy your first limitation is budget. Like I said, typical DAWs these days have 2 GHz or faster processor. Pick original Pentium over Celeron. You'll thank for it later! The point is the larger it's cache, the better it runs beside the speed. When choosing your motherboard, make sure...

    [First Question...Be Gentle] Cubase SX and NI Guitar Rig

    Be it Cakewalk or Cubase... I realy hate to say it, but I think you need to upgrade your computer. Not just the RAM, but could be whole CPU :( PIII is okay for year 2000, but 2005? It's time to get real with something over 2GHz. ;) Jaymz

    MIDI Interface

    Using Roland GK Pickup, you can turn your bass into MIDI controller. You need GK sound module / USB interface to connect to computer. However, it's not 100% accurate / reliable as having keyboard / drum pad MIDI controler... :) ;) Jaymz

    Korg X3 as a controlller

    What Atterion said... :) Go get Joystick/MIDI converter or even better USB/MIDI converter, install it. Hook X3 MIDI Out to converter In, and X3 MIDI In to converter MIDI Out. Once it's installed properly, Sonar will recognice the MIDI port, thus you can assign Instrument map for your X3 (may...

    question about recording drums

    Small mixer and limited I/O dilema... ;) So, basicaly you need two things beside mics: 1. Soundcard with multiple I/O. (at least 8 in). 2. Mixer with 8 preamp mic and 8 output (either main out, bus out, aux out, fx out, channel insert, etc.). The idea is you can route at least 8 mics into 8...

    MIDI newbie

    What virtual devices you insert as DXi in Sonar? If it's VSampler, then you need to load bank/patch of sound sample (soundfonts, giga, etc..). Without them it won't make any sound :) ReValver is not actualy "virtual instrument". It's audio DirectX effect (plugins) controlable using DXi. Try...

    lead guitar usually tracked in stereo?

    Just a thought, be carefull with dual miking! It could introduce phase cancelation! If the result sounds thin or weird, then try to move around either mic an inch or two... it's sometime difficult, but doable! ;) Jaymz

    Is my sound module broken?

    Is it GM compatible? I mean, if it's not GM compatible, then try channel 1 instead of 10. Channel 10 for drums/percussion is only concept of GM. No need to follow it if it doesn't GM compatible... Well, several sequencers temporarily set curent active channel to channel 1 for monitoring purpose...

    corrupted s.ware

    Calm down, paresh :) I guess we all know, computer is complex machine. When you work with particular application, there's many factor to consider when error comes up. I don't have GT Pro, but I choose Cakewalk since the dark days of Dos, because they worked the way they should. Very stable! Just...
