I have read Sonar Power. It was very helpful along with the manual. I keep them real close to my setup for easy reference. Vice

I feel ya! Vice

That sounds cool, man! Vice

Thanks moskus... Good information. I'm still reading through it. I was more curious how he used the meters. But, the info did give me a more clear understanding as to what I'm doing... Thanks, Vice

I know this is an old thread, but, Crosstudio could you give some examples of how you do this using numbers, please? I'm trying to gain some understanding on how to use compression, and I am also trying to understand the different meters. Thanks, Vice

Yeah, I only need 2 in 2 out, but I want more, say 8. I'm looking at the C-port or the MAudio. I want to have an input for each of my instruments' outputs. Plus, if I ever get brave enough I might plug my mic back in and do some vocals... Vice

Soon my friend, very soon. I made an agreement with my wife that I wouldn't make that purchase until I felt I could make consistent recordings with the ol' Soundblaster... With the help I got this past weekend I should be making strides toward that goal! Then I, too, will have the "Power of a...

Yeah, it sure fooled me when I bought it! :p Now that I know the truth about Soundblaster, I would have purchased just the card. 2 ins/outs is all that you get, no matter what type of interfaces they have... James, thanks for the info... Things are a lot clearer now. This can of worms has...

I forgot about that, thanks Porter... Vice

You could trade audio files as .wav files. And if you are using midi, you can trade files using .mid files. That's a pretty basic answer, I know. But it will work... Vice

Finally! I have figured out the low signal I was getting. It was coming from the live drive. When I moved my speakers to the output of the card as opposed to the Live drive bay everything sounded normal. A few months ago I was trying to figure out another issue and as a result of that I had...

The way its setup now is everything from the mixer goes into the Line jack of the SB Live. I have the output coming out of the Live drive bay to my speakers... That enables me to hear my DX instruments along with the rest of my mix... Vice

Ok, thanks guys... That solved about half of the problem. Incidentally, I never use console view... I merely used for illustration purposes :) All my meters are now reading the same level. Why does it sound different (louder) going into Sonar than it does on playback? The peaks are the same...

I took a snapshot of what I am trying to fix. I have Sonar set to lock the peaks. You will notice about 6dB difference in the tracks volume and the Mains. I don't have offset mode on. The signal path is as follows: DM5 drums --> Mixer --> Line-in jack on SB Live! --> Sonar This is what I...

Ok, that's what I thought. So, it comes to about 120mb. I should have enough for Sonar then, right? I guess I won't have much wiggle room though... Vice

How much more RAM do I need to use the full ns_kitv6. I have Sonar 2 and Vienna running. Vice

WDM drivers are being used. The ones I am using are the ones installed by WinXP. I am also not in any offset mode as near as I can tell. I have changed the meters to a less broad range (doh!) That actually helps me see things more clearly (Thanks mixsit!). I am of the same belief, so, I...

Re: Re: Need some direction I will change the meters to a more narrow range and see if that helps. Although, I have been using the same range since I have been recording with Sonar. But, I can see where you are going with that, mixsit. Thanks, Vice

NO, please go basic if needed. I'm trying to garner some understanding! When I record, I watch the track meter and the signal doesn't clip. I'm thinking I am doing something right. While I'm recording I am monitoring and everything sounds great. When I play what I've recorded the sound is...

Thanks, Vice
