    Need Help - CueMix Causing Flicker in VST Windows

    So after a day of messing around with this, it turns out there's something called X-Ray in Sonar that is supposed to allow you to change the opacity of certain windows so you can see the controls on the window underneath. By dissabling the X-Ray functionality the flicker went away. Maybe...

    Need Help - CueMix Causing Flicker in VST Windows

    I installed CueMix recently along with a MOTU 828MkIII. Everything works fine except when CueMix is running and I open an effects window in Sonar 6, the window has these flickering lines running horizontally across it. If I minimize CueMix, the lines remain but if I close out of CueMix, the...

    Please give a listen to #2, what do you think?

    I haven't stopped by the mix clinic in ages... glad I did. This is really nice. The version with the B3 is just killer. Like "first dance at my wedding" good. The simplicity of the drums is really engaging to me. There's enough space for those snare hits to really shine. Lastly, if this...

    Best built in effects on mixers

    I like the ones on my MixWiz. On the more recent version of the board you can go in and edit the paramaters, but I've never found the need. I don't use them much in the studio, but live they're pretty usable all around.

    Soundtracs Topaz 8 24x8x2 - Southern CA

    Many thanks. Did manage to sell it to a local kid setting up his first "real" studio. Cool part is that I got to go to his space and help him set it up. Says I can record there anytime I want... like I'll be recording lots with a 5 week old :)

    A Newbie Question from a not-so Newbie: A/D Converters???

    Chili - actually you've been quite helpful in helping me think this through. I like the idea of two 8 channel interfaces a bit more than one 24-channel interface for a reason I didn't expect. I'm discovering that many of the 8 channel interfaces have built in preamps; which would let me just...

    A Newbie Question from a not-so Newbie: A/D Converters???

    Some good points. Thank you. Let me clarrify a bit. I do track bands in my house on occassion but use my bedroom studio only as my control room and run a 24 channel snake into my living room, which becomes my live room. Drums go there. I have a closet off my living room where a guitar amp can...

    A Newbie Question from a not-so Newbie: A/D Converters???

    OK, thanks. That helps me get my head wrapped around what I think I need. It looks like since I have a mixer I want to use, all the audio interfaces that have built in preamps don't quite fit the bill. I'm thinking I'll check into the Moto 24 I/O Core. Not firewire, but I don't mind adding a...

    A Newbie Question from a not-so Newbie: A/D Converters???

    I tried some internet research but I apparently don’t have enough of an understanding of this topic to even ask a question that Google/Search Function can understand… so here goes. After the birth of my first child in another few weeks, the bedroom that was once just my "studio" will have to...

    Strange CPU Usage Issue with Sonar 6???

    Crap, I didn't want to hear that! I was hoping there would be a generally accepted fix out there...I'm wondering if CW knows about this, since it doesn't seem to be an isolated occurance to just me.

    Strange CPU Usage Issue with Sonar 6???

    I looked through the cakewalk site a bit and found no mention of this issue. I could use some updates though...

    Strange CPU Usage Issue with Sonar 6???

    FS, now that's interesting to note; that your usage jumps up when hitting stop as well. If you click on something in the waveform view, does the cpu usage then drop back to zero? Almost sounds like some sort of glitch in the programming. Oh well, I can mix with no tails and maybe the next...

    Strange CPU Usage Issue with Sonar 6???

    Yep, the tails were on, but no one pluggin seemed to be the culprit. I tried removing individual instances of each pluggin and tried removing them as like-groups, with the same outcome...

    Strange CPU Usage Issue with Sonar 6???

    Just as a follow up in case someone finds this thread in the archives someday... I never was able to determine which if any of my pluggins was causing the issue described above. I tried removing each pluggin one by one, then replacing it as I removed the next one... nothing. I tried removing...

    Strange CPU Usage Issue with Sonar 6???

    F.S. Thanks. I took your suggestion and sure enough, but turning off the "tails" the issue seems to be gone... I now have to go through the half dozen or so pluggins and see which is the culprit... honestly didn't expect that to be the issue, but it sure seems to be. If I could email you a...

    Strange CPU Usage Issue with Sonar 6???

    While playing a recent project with about 16 tracks in it (44.1/24bit), I noticed the CPU usage right around 35%, which I would expect given the pluggins I was using the the number of tracks. When I stopped the playback, the CPU usage jumped up to over 90% and if I waited long enough, it would...
