Update on my part: I have discovered that the dropouts are random after all, but that doesn't make it any less strange. They don't happen very often, and when they do, restarting Cakewalk is usually enough for me... still annoying though, as I too have configured my PC for optimum performance...

Hey all, I'm still a relatively new CWPA 9 user, only having run it for a month or so. It has worked nicely so far, but I bumped into a strange thing recently. One, and only one, of my .wrk projects seems to get hard drive dropouts every time I try to play it. Since it's only 8 mono 24/48...

PLEASE learn how to communicate. Everyone would benefit from it.

I've seen some Yamaha TRB-5P's (the now discontinued alder-bodied, piezo-equipped ones) on Ebay for around that price. Very balanced and rich tone, not the least muddy. You might also be tempted to have a look at this: www.dpcustom.com

Well, you COULD plug into the line jack, but the signal will be very weak. Of course could the volume of the signal be increased after it has been recorded, but this would also amplify any noise that has been recorded as well... and you don't want that, right? IME, guitar AMPS can handle basses...

I've seen a couple internet stores having them availabe to order (didn't say if they were in stock, though). But they really shouldn't have them since they aren't released yet. Strange indeed.

Big impact. It's like comparing a telecaster to a strat. :) The Precision is pretty much a one-trick pony, with a very punchy and warm low-mid oriented tone. The Jazz, can thanks to the pickup configuration, basically get three different sounds. With the neck pickup soloed it sounds a bit like...

I found it to have a bit too much low mids in the "gurgling" during first minute - too thick and rumbling, it buries the vocals. That said, the speakers I listened through is little more than decent ($80 Labtech PC speakers, 2 satellites + woofer), but you should mix so it sounds good on all...

Made in Mexico Fender Jazz Bass. Nice full sound, can be had for around $300.

Couldn't it just be that nobody here has tried them?

Regarding the quality of MP3's... another important thing is which encoding algorithm you use. Fraunhofer rocks. Blade sucks. :)

It doesn't, but I recall having seen converter utilities (.sf2 -> .gig) around. Don't take my word for it, though.

Let Sonar do all the loading for you. It says you haven't got enough memory because you set the cache too small. Only use the Soundfont utility in SBLive's AudioHQ to increase the Soundfont cache size to the amount you need (man, those are some big Soundfonts!), but don't load them into memory...

Ah, I like this feature! Options -> SoundFonts Here you select which soundfonts you want to use in your project. Double-click on a row (or press "attach") to open a file browser. Locate the soundfont you want to use and "open" it. You have now loaded a soundfont to your SB-card's RAM. Yay...

These are what I would like to call nice bass samples: ("Scarbee's J-slap bass" for Gigasampler) http://www.nemesysmusic.com/sounds/mp3/Scarbee_J-Slap1_BridgeNeck.mp3 http://www.nemesysmusic.com/sounds/mp3/Scarbee_J-Slap1_Bridge.mp3...

There are many such programs. Look for "file-splitting" kind of software on e.g. www.download.com. Some of them are freeware as well. I have a program called FileSplit, which works quite well. You have the option of generating a simple .bat file for re-merging the parts (all you need to do is...

Re: actually...... ;) Trust me. Plug in a P-bass and notice the difference.

The problem is your bass. Soundgears ARE "thin", and that's just about the nicest thing I have to say about them. You can't "fix in the mix" what isn't there from the beginning.

:confused: They sell them at www.musicians-gear.net (a German site, BTW)... what's up with that if they're not out yet?

Yep, totally true.
