Should I even bother recording in 24/96 if my intent is to burn to cd. Right now I am and then converting to 16 bit. I think I'm at least going to change to 24/44.1, but does anyone have any thoughts on what is best for best end result on cd. Sound quality is all I care about here.

Does anyone know where I can download a good free external software mixer that will be compatible with my echo mia soundcard? I need something to push my low levels up, but certainly only need something very basic and good. Any response would be appreciated.

I'm recording solo piano pieces from my xv-88 into cakewalk in 24/96. I've got the mixes sounding the way I want, but when I change the format to 16 bit, mix down and then try to burn to cd, you can hear a distinct sort of high rattle-like sound accompanying each hammer strike. It's not there...

I'm trying to record some solo piano from a roland xv-88 into cakewalk 9. I've got the input on my echo mia soundcard mixer all the way up and the volume on the xv-88 all the way up and i still can't get my level to 0db. I don't want to have to normalize to fix this problem because when i do...

I'm recording a roland xv-88 straight into an echo mia soundcard in cakewalk pro audio 9 on a pentium 4 1.3 gig. Do I need an external mixer? What are the advantages of having one? Right now, I've got the mia input levels cranked b/c i know that's necessary to really reach 24 bit recording...

I agree you should check out the Roland RD series. I have a Roland xv-88 and the srx-02 expansion card and its the best plug and play piano i have ever tried. If piano sounds are your thing, stay away from the triton. IMHO the Triton piano sounds just plain suck, and for that kind of money...

I burned several tracks that i mixed down to cd tonight for the first time. i was really excited by how good they sounded but they were very quiet. does anyone know how i can avoid this? i don't think my levels were too low.

what is format x: /z:64? right now i just have it formatted using format x: and partitioned in FAT32. what does the /z:64 do?

I bought a pair of m1 actives a little while ago. anyway, they worked for about a week and then one wouldn't power up for mysterious reasons. i called alesis and they told me to take it back to the store. i did but they didn't have anymore. they said they'd try to fix it but couldn't. that...

thanks, emeric. so all i'm doing then is saving data into my second hard drive, but when i want to work on it i open it back up into cakewalk on my first hard drive, right? i think i've got it.

i thought i had already done that, but it turns out i hadn't. thanks for the reminder.

I've finally bought everything i think i need to run my pc DAW. Here's my setup: -dell 8100 pentium 4 1.3 gig running windows me -384 mb ram -1 7200 rpm 20 gig hard drive and one 7200 rpm 40 gig hard drive -echo mia soundcard -roland xv-88 keyboard with srx-02 acoustic piano expansion card...

i've been trying to open session drummer in pro audio 9 and i can't get it to open. the book says to go to console view and right click the black aux bus part and then you can click on it. when i try that though, all i get is samplegrabber. how do i get to it? i need something drum machinesque.

Thanks for the repliew. I'm using adaptec cd creator 4.0 and when i export cakewalk projects as audio files into, they show up in the software but when i go to burn the wav file onto a cd it says it can't read from the source. any suggestions?

thanks for the replies everyone. the xv-88 is an external synth/keyboard and i love it. i'm primarily a piano player and of all the synths i tried the xv-88 with the piano xpansion card had by far the best paino sound for my purposes. i was stuck between the triton and the xv-88 but the piano...

any advice on what i should set me buffers at. the cakewalk manual doesn't help much with this. I know i need to set it in multiples of 3 but do i go high or low. I'm recording in 24/96 from a roland xv-88 to a mia soundcard on a pentium 4 1.3 gig system. Also, i know this is stupid, but is...

I'm recording from my roland xv-88 onto CW pro audio 9. I know that I need to come as close as possible to maximum with my inputs without clipping for the best signal. But even with my volume on the synth all the way up and my input level on my MIa soundcard all the way up, some sounds still...

I occasionally get little pops on my cakewalk pro audio 9 recordings even though I think the levels are good. How can I get rid of this. Also, does anyone else ever have problems with your computer locking up only while using cakewalk. I've got a pentium 4, 1.3 Gig and CW is the only thing...

Is a 2nd hard drive really that important or can I do just as well with one really big 7200 rpm hard drive?

AMD thunderbird or intel pentium? What's best? AMD's a little cheaper which is great in my book, but are they at all problematic. The guy at my local computer store said AMD outperforms intel.
