    Sonar 1.0? Who uses Sonar 1.0? :confused: Unless of course it's, *ahem* pirated... But then you don't get a lot of the extra plugs or other features. So if you think Sonar is crap because of 1.0, you're sadly mistaken. I'm on Sonar 4 Producer. Ordered the upgrade direct from Cakewalk this...

    plug-in slows down tracks?

    Mix down the track and use the mixed down file. I use Sonar 4, but when I was getting dropout from too many plugin's I'd "bounce" the track to another track to mix the effects into the sample. Not really sure if bouncing is a Sonar specific function though. Maybe you could apply the same...

    RME HDSP9654 and Yamaha 01V96 V2

    I do headphones Yamaha RH5-Ma's for light work and ATH-M40fs's for isolation. And right now I have a pair of monitors (M-Audio BX5A pair) on order and shipping with the board. MIDI synths, I have one Casio board. An old CT-700. Don't think you'll find those around anywhere, but it works as a...

    RME HDSP9654 and Yamaha 01V96 V2

    Thanks! I knew it was a connector-style. And from what I've read I was almost certain it would do 8-channel at 16/44.1. The 01V96 supports the 4 channel at 24/96 too, according to Ed Blackmore at Yamaha. We'll find out for sure sometime next week, hopefully. So that means I won't need a 2...

    ? Okay, maybe something else happened. If it still works that would be awesome. I'll plug it in again today. See if it works. Gimmee a day to trouble shoot.

    RME HDSP9654 and Yamaha 01V96 V2

    I'm talking PC-based recording. I originally had an Edirol DA2496 which worked great, and I was hoping that Edirol would go PCI with another box later on and run mores fixes on their multi-channel drivers. But as things are right now, they went the USB 2.0 route with their flagship UA-1000 and...

    The difference between..

    That's true, and kind of goes without saying, since my levels are okay. You really need to watch how the meters jump on your tracks. Pump up the microphone to the point where you don't have any green at the bottom of your meter unless you move around a bit; then you should see maybe one or...

    Oh Man, I FRIED IT...

    The Focusrite only has one mic input. I ran the XLR out to XLR input #2 on my Edirol DA2496 breakout box (it has 2 XLR in's on the front). Then I ran a microphone direct into the Edirol XLR input #1 and flipped the phantom power directly on the patchbay/breakout box. It has a weak preamp...

    Oh Man, I FRIED IT...

    Up near Sacramento. Why? Sorry, I really don't want to adopt any cats if that's what you're thinking. I'll crack open the Focusrite tomorrow after I gut the studio to prep for the new setup. I'd like to fix it if I can.

    The difference between..

    my 2 cents Your average run-of-the-mill CD will only play at 16 bit resolution. Anything higher than that you'll have to dither back to 16 bit and try not to lose detail. The POW-r 3 dither the latest version of Sonar uses -- it's pretty amazing at maintaining the illusion of the same detail...

    Should I continue to use this mic for Vocals

    Well, that's what the guy at Guitar Center told me. '57. You won't need any other microphones.

    Ahem, I've written a stupid poem out of rhyming couplets. I had the most beautiful, wonderful pre. I used the thing less than a day -- My precious Focusrite Voicemaster Pro. And now it's gone. Fried. Totally done fo'. Kaput. Kicked the can. Playing a harp in the clouds. I ran...

    RME HDSP9654 and Yamaha 01V96 V2

    RME HDSP9654 and Yamaha 01V96 V2 I took a serious financial plunge today. Decided on the 01V96. As much as I would like to be someone who can afford to get a Tascam DM3200, with a meter bridge, the selling price for the digital mixing console alone without the bridge is $1000 more than the...

    I think you need a '57. They're good for everything. :D

    obtaining consistant volume within a track

    If all else fails and you can't figure out how to use the track envelopes right away, give the punches their own separate tracks and watch the meters. You can make sure each punch is jumping at about the same decibel level and reaching similar max volume by adjusting each track volume and EQ...

    Best matched condenser pair for stereo recording?

    When Musical Youth sings that reggae song, "Pass the ___ on the lef' han' side" He says, doogee. Or "dutchie" or whatever. :cool:

    Best matched condenser pair for stereo recording?

    Phil, Honestly, no. I haven't heard most of these mics. I don't have that kind of money or access to do a side-by-side scientific and/or interpretive analysis on my own. I'm going by what the majority of other people have had to say about these mics and comparing their comments to what I...
