Major breakthrough! I told you guys I would feel totally stupid by the end of this post. Well, Fairview gave me some simple hints that got me to exploring. I was studying the Delta Control Panel, (which comes with the Audiophile 2496 soundcard), and noticed that everything was panned to one...

Everything is panned to the center. Sonar and Delta Control Panel. Something new happened this morning that might be of interest. I recorded a lead track over my existing rhythm track, which is the one that's all to the left speaker. I recorded the lead track with a Sonar effect on it, and...

The SONAR Dead Sea Scrolls Man, I am totally baffled! No matter what I do, Sonar is not working the way I need. I tried what HangDawg told me, and chose a mono IN setting for the track. No dice! There are three areas that I'm concerned about: The 2 analog inputs on my Audiophile 2496...

Basically a good overdriven tone, but also a good warm clean. Something along the lines of Joe Satriani or Steve Vai. I've gotten pretty good at doctoring a recorded part with effects after the fact, so if it's not perfect I've always got that. But I play to my sound, so I do need something...

That makes perfect sense. The sound has been real stale direct-in no matter what I do. I'll eliminate the mic preamp anytime I record direct-in from now on. But yeah, I would much rather mic my amp. I'm more a fan of that sound. I've tried, but with my limited knowledge I wasn't getting...

I'm having no luck finding a female RCA to dual RCA male adapter. I would love if I could find a Mogami one to mate up with the Mogami cable I currently have. So far I've found the following cable that would work, but it would render my Mogami cable useless...

Great, this is the kind of affirmation I needed. To answer your question: Yes, strictly my guitar is going into one track. I will try a mono IN setting within SONAR and see what happens. If this works, I'm hoping that I will not only be able to hear what I recorded through both speakers, but...

Here's what the manual for my soundcard (M-Audio Audiophile 2496) says about the two analog inputs: Analog INS 1 & 2: These jacks input analog audio from a variety of external sources. Each jack is female RCA, compatible with common male RCA cables. During stereo operation, the IN1 jack...

Awesome. The first guy to answer is a Kings X fan. My favorite rock band. As far as I know, both the left and right inputs on an Audiophile 2496 soundcard operate in the same way. I'll refer to the manual though. From what you guys are telling me, it sounds like I'm going to have to get a...

I'm sure if and when my following question is answered, I'll look dumb, but I don't care. I've been dying to record. Here's my dillema: First of all, here's my soundchain: Guitar>Amp (direct out)>Mic Preamp>left input on Audiophile 2496 soundcard>Cakewalk Sonar 2.0 After recording...

I'm still baffled at how to get good sounds with computer recording. Here's my sound chain: Strat>Boogie Mark IV recording out>ART OPL mic preamp>Audiophile 2496 soundcard>CakeWalk Sonar XL I'd like to mic my amp, but I was just getting too much noise. I noticed the computer monitor makes...

He He! I don't even know what those Apogee converters do! <b>Are they basically a kind of preamp, or what?</b> Hey, I love learning all I can about home recording. But there is a hell of a lot to it. It's not just something I've been able to jump into and start recording with. By the way...

OK, here's what I have to work with: 1) Guitar and amp, of course 2) Shure SM-57 mic 3) ART MP/OPL tube mic preamp 4) Audiophile 2496 soundcard in computer with Windows XP 5) CakeWalk Sonar XL 6) Lite-On 52x CD burner Is this really all I need for a versatile home computer studio, or am...

I've become familiar with CakeWalk's Sonar, but a friend recently mentioned Steinberg's Cubase-Nuendo to me. I haven't messed with it yet. How does it compare to Sonar? Better or worse? He said something about a really good mic modeler...

It worked! I didn't seem to have a problem with latency. I'll check it out though just to make sure. Thanks...

I've got an Audiophile 24/96. I'll try the above suggestion and see if it works. Thanks...

I'm using CakeWalk's Home Studio 2002, and some of you may know that it comes with a few effects (delay, reverb, Amp Sim Lite, etc.). I'd like to be able to hear these effects before I start recording, but for some reason I'm not able to. I'm having to record with a dull clean sound, and then...

OK. Now what about the speed of the CD-R? I'm noticing that a lot of them are rated at different speeds; 40x and whatnot. Is this no big deal also?

What are the best CD-Rs to burn onto? I'm using a 52x Lite-On burner. Do I have to get a certain CD-R, or does it not really matter?

Got it! I'm well on my way. At least until the next problem arises! Thanks so much for the help...
