I tried the Wave Pofiler - no help. But thank you anyway. Interestingly enough, I just tried recording with 5 wav tracks going in Cool Edit Pro and 10 out of 10 times there was no problem. In Cakewalk using the same tracks there was that buzz again on the second take, so it looks like the...

Unfortunately it appears latency is not the issue. No changes have affected the crackling problem at all. Also, I have bypassed the mixer and the problem is still there. As well I've tried changing the slot of the Delta in order to give it a renewed IRQ preference position and resolve any...

Heya. OK recording gurus, here is a puzzler for you. I am desperate... I use Cakewalk 9.02 and a Delta 66 soundcard to record audio. I haven't had any major problems recording before. So I'm in the middle of recoding a vocal track for a song and all of a sudden about one out of every 2 takes or...

Hey everyone. A while ago someone mentioned on here that the best thing to do when recording in the digital realm is use a higher bit length and sampling rate and then convert it down later. I just recorded a song in 24/96, and changed the bit rate in Cakewalk 9.02 to 16 before making a wav...

Thanks AlChuck. That's a good feature - I wish they had it in PA9.

Actually what we're talking about here is zero crossing at the beginning and ends of clips when you're moving them in 2 or more tracks simultaneously. SBax, your idea of going in and just snipping off the ends if the "zero crossing" feature doesn't pick it up on both tracks sounds reasonable -...

"I take care of pops by zooming in where the waveform starts and drag the window so the wave line starts at zero." That's exactly what I mean. How do you do this in PA9? Thanks, steve

"Also this sometimes requires blending or tapering of waveforms to fit." What exatly does this mean? Also: "Other times I'll just slice out the event, then overlay a dub on a separate track." Do you mean that you delete that section, overdub that part on another track and then edit the ends...

When you say shift it in time, what exactly do you mean? And by creating blank spaces before and after your selected snare hit, doesn't that just create extra opportunities for popping/ sound dropouts? (assuming it isn't being masked by the other instruments) Is this what everyone does? Thanks...

Hey everyone. I'm wondering what the best method is for moving a portion of an audio clip (ie-from a wav). Like if you've got a snare track and one hit is a little off and you'd like to move it forward a bit. What's the best way to do this with minimal pops and awkward dropouts. (At first...

That was the weird thing about that pop - the snap-to-zero button was in, and while one of the cuts was at a zero point, the other one (slightly ahead) wasn't. Either way, once you use the scissor tool a couple of times it's easy to see how making 2 cuts instead of one can occur (you've need a...

Thanks! steve

In my experience, finding the right spot with the cursor, right clicking and choosing "split" yields a more accurate split than choosing the scissor tool and clicking. I found doing the latter would occaisionally make 2 splits that were only detected when zooming way in. It actually caused...

Hey again, Thanks for posting. I am familiar with the volume envelopes, and I do use them in place of automation when I can (easier to see and fix errors, and probably better on the CPU). However, setting the general volume for a track using envelopes seems silly to me, especially when we should...

Forgive me if this question sounds rudimentary. Any help would be very much, much appreciated. When you folks are mixing audio and you want to try to find a good level with the faders, what is the proper course of action with regards to making the faders stick, so that they don't revert back to...

Quick question: Just installed PA9. What is Audio X and what is it good for? If my sound card is not Audio X compatible (looks like the Delta 66 is not) how will this affect my setup? (help and literature are confusing on this subject) thanks. steve

Hey everyone. Trying to record in 24/96 mode for the first time and noticing I can't get very far before Cakewalk freezes up - both on recording and playback. I'm thinking the buffers need to be reset (no problems for 16/44.1). Any advice on what I should be setting them to? I'm like a babe in...

Hey all. I am currently mastering a song that sounds a little on the "cold" side - not enough high-highs in the mix and maybe not enough bass as well. It was done in 16-bit (there were a lot of tracks used). I'm finding that with the EQs I have here (Sound Forage 4.5, Cakewalk 8.04) it sounds...

Hey everyone. This question is not directly about Cakewalk per se, but you folks are really smart and I really love this forum. It has helped me out immensely in the past. Yesterday I made a CDR copy of a prerecorded CD and for some reason I decided to compare them. I noticed a slight...

Heya. I use Cakewalk 8.04 and have noticed these weird fader moves as well. Here a couple of tricks I've noticed can help. The faders seem to "stick" when you go to the beginning of the track. I try to keep a pen and paper handy and so when I'm mixing and I find a fader level I like, I jot it...
