Well it did it again. Sitting here listening in on a conference call, going through my VST plug-in folder, deleting the stuff I never use and it crashed. I got the "SONARPDR.EXE has stopped working." I checked the Event Viewer per Tadpui's recommendation and found this: Faulting application...

It's good to know I have Reaper as a back up if Sonar keeps this up, it will be time to switch. I reinstalled Producer X1 last night and two things odd happened. First, the icon showed up as the generic Windows icon, not the X1 icon I'm used to seeing. I found a youtube video that showed how...

I appreciate everybody's feedback and thoughts. I did have a couple VSTs running, but most recently it was on a song that had only effects that came with Sonar. I'll confess, I don't follow the comment about overclock, or what 0.6ghz OC is? Can you dumb that down for me? I'll try anything at...

I've kept this PC off the internet and off Wi-Fi to avoid viruses and what not. Interestingly, SONAR Studio 6 has always been solid on this machine. And today I've used it to open Producer created tracks to export the raw .wav files as back up and it's been just fine. And REAPER has been...

I'll certainly take a look at the event viewer. I fear though that it may not be salvageable. So is Reaper really only $60? I've been poking around on their website and it sure seems like it would do everything I'd ever need it to do.

Thanks for jumping in. Let's see, here's what I can tell about my PC. It says: Pentium Dual-Core CPU E6700 @3.2GHZ 3.20 GHz Installed memory(RAM): 8.00GB System type: 64-bit Operating System And it's running on Windows 7 Home Premium I have two hard drives installed, the C: drive has 348GB...

I started with Cakewalk probably a dozen or more years ago as I left the analog world. I upgraded to Sonar 6 Studio at some point and then to Sonar Producer X1. I only record my own bands and personal demo material so I'm far from a power user. I record actual instruments with microphones and...

Just wanted to circle back and let everybody know the PreSonus Digimax LT seems to be working great. Didn't really need 8 more preamps but they are really nice preamps and I can bypass them by using a TRS cable into the combo jacks so I can still use my outboard preamps when I want. Now to get...

Just had a buddy recommend the Presonus Digimax LT. He actually has one that he's going to let me borrow. 8 preamps that I really don't need and it appears they can't be bypassed, but from what I'm reading, they have a solid reputation for their conversation and the preamps aren't that bad...

That's awesome. Thanks! I guess I also have to make sure it has lite pipe ADAT functionality as I'm noticing there are now RCA connectors on the back of the 824...

OK, Thanks! I can live with 8 obviously. I wonder about the AD converters on a Behringer unit, but there seem to be a lot of Firewire devices out there that do what I want (where I could bypass the preamps if needed) with ADAT outputs. With Firewire slowly fading away, they seem pretty well...

I have a newly acquired Steinberg UR824 and it covers my needs 95% of the time. But on occasion I long for 4 more inputs for tracking full bands. I know I could add a second 824 or MOTU 8Pre and use the ADAT connectivity to add 8 more inputs no problem, but I have some pretty nice stand along...

Yeah 50ms, seems rediculous. I'll try bumping it down. It just defaulted to 512 when I installed the driver. I guess I'll plan on overdubbing with the Steinberg...

I've been using Sonar Producer X1 with a Steinberg UR44 on my Windows 7 64-bit PC, for over a year for doing acoustic demos, etc. It works great and I haven't had to touch the "Record Latency Adjust" setting for a long long time. This weekend, I'm tracking my full band (5 piece, with drums)...

Fortunately, our drummer is a pretty reserved player at this point in his life/career. I suspect his style will work well with this approach. thanks for the advice!

A friend of mine who has a few decades of recording and live sound experience has been pushing me to try a 3 mic recording technique when I do my band's demo next month. He's suggesting a ribbon mic 2 or 3 feet out in front of the kit, a hypercardiod mic on the snare and a 112 or Beta52 on...

Yep, 2 20 cent plastic washers and I'm off the races! Seemed like cheating I guess yesterday, but you can't argue with a simple solution. Thanks again.

Wow! Thanks you so much for the in depth reply. Yes, a space would seem to be the best option. I was hesitant when I had the assembly apart yesterday since I wasn't sure how it would impact the rotation, but I can't see any other way to go. Off to the hardware store... Thank you again for...

Hmmmm... a little more investigation and I can tell the capstan shaft is moving just a small amount and letting the flywheel hit the back of the plate it's mounted to. I took the whole assembly off and there's no way that I can see to keep the shaft from sliding. I could make a long enough...

I've replaced the capstan drive belt and thought I was good to go on my Tascam 38, but I've discovered now that when the unit is sitting upright, the capstan wheel (not the motor but the heavy flywheel side) slides forward towards the front of the unit just enough to rub against the plate it's...
