    Two Sonar Installs?

    Do it in Sonar. Options - Audio - Drivers tab enable or disable by highlighting the cards ( drivers ) you want to be active. Sonar will tell you to restart before the changes will take affect. Regards, Mountaineer

    VoicemasterPro vs. TwinTrak ?

    Actually, there are plenty of differences, some of them minor like XLR monitor outputs vs. TRS, more insert options, etc. I went for the twintrak because A) I wanted 2 channels for stereo mic setup B) I didn't care about the bells & whistles, just clean mic pres for recording vocals and...

    Which One?

    "I Never went with any deluxe version of Cake until 3.0." I take that back ... I fell for a $99 offer to upgrade from PA9 to ProSuite. Two months later, SONAR was introduced:mad: Ended up getting SONAR 1.0 for free ... which is about what it was worth:p

    Which One?

    I struggled with the same decision. I Never went with any deluxe version of Cake until 3.0. The per channel EQ sold me. I don't regret the extra $$ for it. If per channel EQ doesn't interest you, the VSampler and Pantheon certainly aren't worth the extra price of admission. The Sonitus fx...

    EZCD Creator 5 - Stupid bug still present

    You are dead on RWhite ! I purchased a SanDisk flash reader to make the job of downloading photos off my digital camera a snap. I also had Adaptec EZ CD Creator 4.0 installed and I got the dreaded blue screen of death . . . several times before I went to the Sandisk site and found the...

    Dropouts

    Mr MegaGoo, DMA ( Direct Memory Access ) enables your harddrive to access data faster by assigning a DMA channel to it. I may not say this exactly right, but I believe, the DMA channel is straight to the bus and utilizes upper memory blocks to read ahead and buffer the data which makes it...

    freakin' pips &pops driving me nuts

    Go to : Control Panel>System and click on the Device Manager tab. Then double click "computer" at the top of the window. You'll get a listing showing what devices are functioning on which IRQs. Don't worry if you see "IRQ Holder for PCI Steering" . . . that's not sharing. You may have a...

    Dropouts

    rowrep, This might sound simplistic, but it's seldom even mentioned in the software tips. I've never seen Cakewalk or Gadget Labs mention it, however, It is one of the most important things to do. Go to: Control Panel > System >Device Manager>Disk Drives Then, check the settings on your hard...

    I got just three words for you . . . U-S-B

    but I'm thinking that to do serious multitrack audio or simple DV transfers, Firewire or something of that ilk will be required Yeah, well I wouldn't trust USB for anything other than the mundane either. That's the whole point of my lengthy speech. Use it for the small shit that takes up...

    I got just three words for you . . . U-S-B

    That's right . . . Universal Series Bus. I discovered the power of USB after purchasing a USB ready RolandED SC-8850. I had a computer with the standard 2 USB ports and was already using them both ( one for a printer the other for a USB flash card reader ). I was running my Scanner on the...

    freakin' pips &pops driving me nuts

    Is your sound card sharing an IRQ with another device? This could be the source of the unwanted pops and clicks. It was happening to me with my Gadget Labs card until I found USB freedom. In fact, I'm in the process of posting a USB thread here. Regards, PAPicker

    Cakewalk Newbie!! (sound On Sound)

    I think your problem is more soundcard related than software. Are you using a Soundblaster Live? If you are, go to the mixer screen and disable or uncheck "Record what you hear". I think what's happening is that when you try to record bass while listen to the guitar you are re-recording what you...

    Can I record 2 mics at the same time with the Presonus blue tube preamp?

    Yes, you can . . . it's great for stereo pair on vocals or acoustic guitar. I bought a Blue Tube a few weeks ago and was impressed with the results. I was even more impressed this week when I replaced the standard 12AX7 tube with a 12AX7EH from Electro Harmonix ( $20 ). I bought this thing bkz...

    Sonar???

    Graymalkin brings up an interesing point though. I thought about it too. I spend so much time and effort trying to keep up with the latest upgrades and plug-ins that I hardly have time to record anything! Not to mention hardware, instruments, new mics, tube pre's, cable upgrades, POD patches . ...

    AT4033?

    You'll like em! Best in there price range. Two will work great for Stereo Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, even micing amps, but I'd use the -10db pad for amp micing. Regards, PAPicker

    Sound card upgrade concerns

    AlChuck's right. I use GadgetLabs and Turtle Beach Pinnacle together. I even use Gadget for wav IN and TB for wav out. Sometimes it's easier than going through the Mixer. NO PROBLEM. Regards, PAPicker

    So close I can taste it. One burning question

    The wav files in your data folder are cakewalk wavs. Use tools/Export audio to save as a standard wav file. Then you can burn em. Regards, PAPicker

    VST to DX Wrapper and Softsynths

    I just went through this whole ordeal . . . VST to DirectX adapter . . It's a keeper. Hubi's loopback . . .it works. Native Instruments Demo . . . it sucks. Times out after 15 minutes. It takes me that long to get things set right. What a bunch of laimbrains at NI. Couldn't they just give a 30...

    POD Lovers...

    Line6 stuff is great for people who dont know what good tone sounds like! Technically its really cool, but for any real tone conisseur they comeup way short. Sounds to me like you are pretty stupid to shell out $1,000 for tone you don't like . . . or did you buy it without listening first...
