I've been using Windows Media Player to rip my original songs from a CD into a computer that is on-line, in order to upload them to my website. It's weird, because Media Player automatically puts the wrong track information on each song. Like one song insists on saying that the Author is...

Last night I experimented with putting my amp in the walk-in closet which is right next to where I record. I also pulled the mic (SM-57) a little ways back from the grill, and this seems to be working. A lot less boomy. I hadn't thought about getting my amp off of the floor. I do have an amp...

I'm micing a Mesa/Boogie Mark IV combo amp, off-center, with a couple of inches between the mic and the grill of the amp. High strings sound fine, but when lower strings are played, it tends to get boomy-sounding. Is the mic too close? What's an ideal mic placement to eliminate this...

So how do you put compression on an entire mix? Specifically using Cakewalk's Sonar 2.0XL...

It's a little too late, although I guess I could change my service. I already signed on for $7.99/month for 1,000MB and 20GB of monthly bandwidth. (I can upload files up to 500MB in size.) More than enough! Seems like I could have done a lot better judging from the prices I've seen...

Wow, I just realized that you have twice the amount of GB for about the same price! You got a 2-for-the-price-of-1 deal! 1GB and 20GB of bandwidth is roughly the same price at FreeServers. That's highway robbery! Who are you using?

Yep, it's time to upgrade my website package. That's where they get you. Or should I say screw you! I just found out that the above mentioned package ($95.88/year) allows me to upload 500 MB file sizes! That's more than enough. If I was on-line at home, I'm sure a lot of this could be...

I have my own domain name with GoDaddy.com. I pay FreeServers around $39 or $40 a year to host it. The limitations are obviously starting to show up! For about the price you mentioned, I could have 1,000MB and 20GB of monthly bandwidth (whatever that means). But I still don't know if there...

Here's the exact error that FreeServers gives me: There was an error uploading a file. (exceeded quota or max file size) I haven't exceeded my website quota, so I guess there's a maximum file size that you're allowed to upload! I did shoot a Priority Support e-mail to them to see if there's...

This is really frustrating. When I finished the recording with SONAR, the song's file was only 1.something MB. After I ripped it into another computer, it became 8.something MB. Supposedly this is too large of a file to upload to my website. It won't accept it. Which is ridiculous, because...

My website is built on-line using HTML. FreeServers.com hosts it for me, but my maximum quota is 50MB (MegaByte). I currently have two songs uploaded that I did on SONAR, which put my total at only 11.8% of the total 50MB. Well, I recently went to upload another song that instantly exceeded...

I've often wondered if I don't have my soundcard's routing at the most optimal settings. It works, but certain effects really seem to sound totally different after a recording. I use M-Audio's Audiophile 2496 with Sonar. What's the best way to have it routed, and what should the Options-Audio...

Wow, nobody else has had this problem with SONAR's Pitch-Shifter? All of the other effects record fine. Why does the Pitch-Shifter not sound right after being recorded? Mind-blowing...

Appreciate all the help from all of youse. I'm slowly starting to figure all this stuff out now. It gets a little easier each time...

One thing I failed to mention that might help make more sense of the situation is that I don't have internet access at home. So what I have to do in order to upload something to my website is: burn it onto a disc, and put it in the computer at my Granddad's place, which is where I do all of my...

You like it raw. I'm kind of the same way. I've noticed that computer effects tend to really "stale" the sound. Your "bomb trick" is way beyond my current knowledge of SONAR. I noticed how to create an envelope, but I don't even know what an envelope is or what it does. I will experiment...

I did burn it at 44.1/16bit. When I was finally able to get the song burned to a disc, I believe it was Windows Media Player that I used. But it turned it into a .cda file format. That's when my granddad was able to convert it to .mp3. I would like to be able to avoid the whole converting...

I'm pretty sure I need a good condensor mic. But which one? I need something that will produce good results in front of a classical or steel-string acoustic. I have an SM-57, but I've always heard that a good condensor will produce better results. Seems like the SM-57 sounded a little too...

http://www.cakewalk.com/Tips/TechTipSept01_2.asp Everyone says to use .wav, but I was having no luck burning that onto a CDR. I guess I'll be sticking with .mp3 until I'm more savvy.

While playing something on the guitar with SONAR's Pitch-Shifter effect, it sounds fine with Input Monitoring. But when I record something with the Pitch-Shifter effect, and play it back, it sounds totally different. The original sound that you hear while recording goes away after it's been...
