    No Volume in Cakewalk

    Ok - I am at my DAW now, so I can speak more accurately about the "M Audio Delta Control Panel". The fact that you can't hear any sound in Cakewalk when you choose "Monitor Mixer" under the "Patchbay / Router" tab is troubling. Click over to the "Monitor Mixer" tab. Make sure that your H/W In...

    No Volume in Cakewalk

    I would like second AlChuck's advice. You have not really solved the problem. You should be able to control the level coming into Cakewalk, and I would recommend that you stick at this problem until you find out how you do this. I would question your claim that Cakewalk overrides the...

    Very new! Need advice!!

    While I would disagree with the first sentiment :mad: ;) :D as I am a very happy SONAR user, I would 100% agree with the advice given to try out different software before you buy. As you can see from this thread, it definitely is a matter of taste, and you will find people very spiritedly...

    No Volume in Cakewalk

    I have almost the exact same hardware specs as you (mine's the 602 mixer instead of the 802). I use SONAR 4 Studio edition software, so that's also different. I'm having no trouble getting decent levels into SONAR. I know that Behringer recommends having the level up pretty darn high coming...

    New Acoustic piece

    I really like that tune! Nice songwriting and really nice sound overall - good guit and vox both. I don't know if you listen to Guster at all, but your voice reminds me of Adam's (the lower and best IMO of the two singers), so I kept thinking Guster while listening as a result. Listened to it...

    Jim Croce Tribute

    Good stuff! I love Jim Croce, and you did these songs very nicely. Great guitar sound, and you've got a really warm, pleasant voice... works really well for these covers. I would agree that the vox are a little wet, but I think we all do that when processing our own vox because our own voice...

    Rebel Red Renegades

    I don't think it's super boomy, but maybe could just be a little less so. Try throwing a high-pass at around 50Hz and see if that takes care of it. You may also want to dial in a little boost somewhere in the neighborhood of 2-5KHz to get a bit more click/slap sound to it, if you like that...

    Rebel Red Renegades

    These songs are... not exactly my taste. ;) :) I actually thought that the sound was quite good though, which was odd taken alongside the admittedly bad performances. I thought that you got a good drum sound, although I would pull back on the kick a bit and its boominess, tune up those toms...

    my best work yet

    Wow - this sounds great! I would have liked it better if my speakers didn't keep spitting at me though... the little synthy clicky rhythm going in the background I mean. It sounded too harsh, almost like it was clipping, and it distracted me from the rest of the music. I liked the idea of it...

    Monitoring with reverb?

    Good point, H2H. I am also prone to those points of view but, most of all, usually find myself tied to the "no extra money to spend whatsoever" point of view. :( :D :) -Jeff

    Monitoring with reverb?

    Another way to handle it (mainly if you have less-than-ideal latency) would be to add the reverb effect to the track at 100% wet and then modify its output level to mix at a good level with the dry signal echoed from the firepod. Set the reverb to no predelay (that will sorta be built in with...

    metronome in sonar 4 PE is getting recorded as well

    I have an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 and use Sonar 4 Studio edition. I have no such problems with the audio metronome - I love it! It sounds like you probably have your integrated audio card set to record in something equivalent to a "What U Hear" mode. Anyway, you should be golden with the...

    That 80's vocal backup sound

    You serious?!? Wow - I'd hate to have to search through all those tracks for 1 sour note. :)

    Problem recording with Sonar- help please

    How you got everything hooked up? Do you have your preamp cranked to the bejesus? Can you actually record anything through the mic over the static, or are you just getting static with no other signal? You check your cables? Dunno - give us more details...

    First original song

    I dig it. I hear some room for this to grow into something a lot more though. Like you were saying, it could use some polishing up, but otherwise it's catchy and got my head a-bobbin'. I agree with Toki on the instrumentation. I think this could really be sweet with some more behind it. For...

    MIDI st-st-st-stuttering problem

    Thanks, James! I think that's the ticket. I tried upping it to 1000 (it was at 500) for starters, and it still happens but much less frequently. I'll play around with pushing the number up some more and see if I can find a happy place. Thanks again! :D -Jeff

    MIDI st-st-st-stuttering problem

    Howdy, folks. I'm having a problem, and I'm not sure where to try to fix it - not sure if it's MIDI or audio related. I have a MIDI drum track that I'm sending to the TTS-1 DXi. Every so often it sounds like the drum track is stuttering. I'll hear a hi-hat, for example, that almost sounds...

    Thickening vocals

    Another thing to consider is how you apply reverb to a vocal track. Usually subtle is better to help the vocals stand out, and also you should think about dialing in some of your reverb's predelay setting, so that you give the vocals a little time to be heard nice and crisp before they get wet...
