    Seasound "Solo" or Aardvark "Direct Pro 24/96"

    The solo unit will only record two analog tracks at a time; if you record all 4 inputs at one time, it'll mix it down (via the pan controls) to the two inputs. As well, it only has two mic preamps. Having the external controls would nice... it takes a really well designed software control...

    Console view settings won't stay put.

    actually, this problem only came into existance with version 7, version 6 and prior did it the usable way. oh well, such is life before cakewalk 9.

    Recording MIDI while in slave mode (?)

    Yes, I own and use a MC-50 Mark I. With the MC set to slave mode (it says MIDI on the display), press record. Select the track you want it to record to on the MC50, and then start playback on the master sequencer. I use the MC50 slaved to Cakewalk. I record the tracks on the MC50, and send...

    Console view settings won't stay put.

    Yep, they fixed this problem in version 9. To get around it, turn off update in the console view ([U], or the button third from the right). Position the faders how you want them. Rewind to the beginning of the song, then push [S] in the console view (or the button with the camera on it) to...

    not enough ins, outs and thrus????

    If only there were a straight forward way to do all this... This may work, though: midi keyboard out - sequencer in sequencer out - bass station in bass station thru - sampler in if your sequencer doesn't have 'soft thru' on the outputs, the you'll need to buy a midi merge box, and run the...

    computer guts

    okay, first off: the floppy is totally out of this equation; you plug a hard drive into the floppy cable (if it's even physically possible), you might not like the consequences... You should be able to add another drive, you'll need another cable like the one hooking up the two devices (the...

    does mixing down up the dB?

    Are the tracks being recorded hard panned, and played back centered? If so, that could explain the clipping, maybe. William Underwood

    mix to burn

    The advantage would probably be if you going to send it out for mastering, or you wanted to use another program for some reason or another (that had a better dither maybe?). William Underwood

    Recording MIDI while in slave mode (?)

    You can record while in slave mode on a MC-50. The problem might be that the audio recorder is telling the sequencer to play and not record. You might be able to get around that by hitting record on the mc-50, and then starting the audio recorder. Hope this works William Underwood

    Stops during playback

    Lambo (and anyone else interested) Just got a brainwave (scary): That sudden increase in performance may be due to the fact Windows stopped trying to cache the audio data as it was being played back, and therefore allowed cakewalk to do things its own (better) way. Just a thought... William...

    Home Studio 9

    Short answer: It can do everything you've mentioned in your post, except for the 'make it sound like Studio quality stuff', that's up to you and the rest of your gear :) Long answer: Sorry, I don't want to retype the manual : ) It's hard to give general answers to the question "What can...

    Cakewalk and Hard Drive Performance

    sorry to but in here (well, not really : ) I'm running a P166, 64megs ram with a 5400rpm hard drive, I've gotten 32 (different) tracks plaing back at the same time, no choppyness ... just an 11 second latency :) The latency starts to sky rocket at about 16 - 18 tracks, so you should be able to...

    converting audio to midi and midi multitracking

    Cakewalk Pro Audio let's you create a midi track from an audio clip, but it can't be polyphonic (i.e. more than one note at a time). This technique is generally unreliable at best, you'd probably be better off finding somebody who can play well by ear . :) As far as using two keyboards, set...

    Do I really need Aardvark 24/96?

    You may find that the aardvark has quieter preamps than the mixer; also, hy using the preamps in the mixer, your signal will have to go through the mixer's preamps, channel eq, channel gain and master gain before it even gets to the soundcard. Each one of those stages will add some noise to the...

    Balanced Lines

    No, only the TSR cables are capable of carrying a balanced signal on 1/4". Using any cable adds some line noise, balanced just reduces the amount of radio interference (which helps alot, especially on long runs). Either way, if the connections are kept short, it shouldn't be much of a problem...

    yes 256!

    almost have you beat: 1 meg, 8 mhz Just enough power to realtime monitor the midi system, and control cakewalk remotely (among other things)... Good ol' atari

    Software sequencer to Hardware sequencer

    If all you what to do is dump everything down to the hardware sequencer when the arranging is done, then all you have to do is plug the output from the computer into the input of the sequencer. Set the sequencer to slave mode (check your manual on how to do that), push record on the sequencer...

    midi keyboard in my set up....

    yep, you would need a midi merger box. Plug the synth and the other keyboard into the inputs, and plug the output into the sequencer. William Underwood
